Item 1. Business
Certain Definitions
In this report:
“Cash Rent Change” means the percentage change in the base rent of the lease commenced during the period compared to the base rent of the Comparable Lease for assets included in the Operating Portfolio. The calculation compares the first base rent payment due after the lease commencement date compared to the base rent of the last monthly payment due prior to the termination of the lease, excluding holdover rent. Rent under gross or similar type leases are converted to a net rent based on an estimate of the applicable recoverable expenses.
“Comparable Lease” means a lease in the same space with a similar lease structure as compared to the previous in-place lease, excluding new leases for space that was not occupied under our ownership.
“GAAP” means generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
“New Lease” means a lease that is signed for an initial term equal to or greater than 12 months for any vacant space, including a lease signed by a new tenant or an existing tenant that is expanding into new (additional) space.
“Occupancy rate” means the percentage of total leasable square footage for which either revenue recognition has commenced in accordance with GAAP or the lease term has commenced as of the close of the reporting period, whichever occurs earlier.
“Operating Portfolio” means all buildings that were acquired stabilized or have achieved Stabilization. The Operating Portfolio excludes non-core flex/office buildings, buildings contained in the Value Add Portfolio, and buildings classified as held for sale.
“Renewal Lease” means a lease signed by an existing tenant to extend the term for 12 months or more, including (i) a renewal of the same space as the current lease at lease expiration, (ii) a renewal of only a portion of the current space at lease expiration, or (iii) an early renewal or workout, which ultimately does extend the original term for 12 months or more.
“Straight-line Rent Change” means the percentage change in the average monthly base rent over the term of the lease that commenced during the period compared to the Comparable Lease for assets included in the Operating Portfolio. Rent under gross or similar type leases are converted to a net rent based on an estimate of the applicable recoverable expenses, and this calculation excludes the impact of any holdover rent.
“Stabilization” for properties under development or being redeveloped means the earlier of achieving 90% occupancy or 12 months after completion. With respect to properties acquired and immediately added to the Value Add Portfolio, (i) if acquired with less than 75% occupancy as of the acquisition date, Stabilization will occur upon the earlier of achieving 90% occupancy or 12 months from the acquisition date; or (ii) if acquired and will be less than 75% occupied due to known move-outs within two years of the acquisition date, Stabilization will occur upon the earlier of achieving 90% occupancy after the known move-outs have occurred or 12 months after the known move-outs have occurred.
“Total annualized base rental revenue” means the monthly base cash rent for the applicable property or properties as of December 31, 2024 (which is different from rent calculated in accordance with GAAP for purposes of our financial statements), multiplied by 12. If a tenant is in a free rent period as of December 31, 2024, the annualized rent is calculated based on the first contractual monthly base rent amount multiplied by 12.
4
“Value Add Portfolio” means our properties that meet any of the following criteria: (i) less than 75% occupied as of the acquisition date (ii) will be less than 75% occupied due to known move-outs within two years of the acquisition date; (iii) out of service with significant physical renovation of the asset; or (iv) development.
“Weighted Average Lease Term” means the contractual lease term in years, assuming that tenants exercise no renewal options, purchase options, or early termination rights, as of the lease start date weighted by square footage. Weighted Average Lease Term related to acquired assets reflects the remaining lease term in years as of the acquisition date weighted by square footage.
Overview
We are a REIT focused on the acquisition, ownership, and operation of industrial properties throughout the United States. Our platform is designed to (i) identify properties for acquisition that offer attractive returns across CBRE-EA Tier 1 industrial real estate markets, industries, and tenants, (ii) provide growth through our ownership of high-quality assets, property management and pursuit of acquisitions in an attractive opportunity set, and (iii) capitalize our business appropriately given the characteristics of our assets.
We are organized and conduct our operations to maintain our qualification as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and generally are not subject to federal income tax to the extent we currently distribute our income to our stockholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT. We remain subject to state and local taxes on our income and property and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
As of December 31, 2024, we owned 591 buildings in 41 states with approximately 116.6 million rentable square feet. As of December 31, 2024, we had 11 development projects (which are not included in the building count noted above). As of December 31, 2024, our buildings were approximately 96.5% leased, with no single tenant accounting for more than approximately 2.9% of our total annualized base rental revenue and no single industry accounting for more than approximately 11.3% of our total annualized base rental revenue. We intend to maintain a diversified mix of tenants to limit our exposure to any single tenant or industry.
As of December 31, 2024, our Operating Portfolio was approximately 97.3% leased. Straight-line Rent Change on new and renewal leases together grew approximately 41.8% and 44.0% during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and our Cash Rent Change on new and renewal leases together grew approximately 28.3% and 31.0% during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
We have fully integrated acquisition, leasing and operations platforms led by a senior management team with decades of industrial real estate experience. Our mission is to deliver attractive long-term stockholder returns in all market environments by growing cash flow through disciplined investment in high-quality real estate while maintaining a strong balance sheet.
Our Strategy
Our primary business objectives are to own and operate a balanced and diversified portfolio that fits the needs of the markets we operate in, to add value to the assets we acquire, and to enhance stockholder value over time by achieving sustainable long-term growth in distributable cash flow from operations.
We focus on acquiring assets individually or in small portfolios. We believe that owning and operating a portfolio of individually acquired industrial properties throughout CBRE-EA Tier 1 industrial markets in the United States will, when compared to other real estate portfolios assembled through acquisitions of many properties at once or consisting of other property types, generate returns for our stockholders that are attractive in light of the associated risks for the following reasons.
•The markets we operate in have an institutional presence, size, and velocity of transactions that allow us to take a granular and quantitative approach where we can be confident in generating both reliable cash flow and long-term asset appreciation for our real estate investments.
•The contribution of individual assets to an aggregated portfolio creates diversification, thereby lowering risk and creating value.
•Many other institutional, industrial real estate buyers focus on properties in a small number of super-primary markets. In contrast, we choose from a larger opportunity set of industrial properties across all CBRE-EA Tier 1 industrial markets in the United States.
•Our wider focus results in an advantage versus the local and regional buyers we compete with for acquisition opportunities who may not have the same access to debt or equity capital as us.
5
•Industrial properties generally require less capital expenditure than other commercial property types.
Notwithstanding our focus on acquiring assets individually, we will consider and may acquire portfolios when we believe the returns and/or long-term value are appropriate.
Regulation
General
We are subject to various laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of the United States and the states and local municipalities in which we own properties, including regulations relating to common areas and fire and safety requirements. We believe that we or our tenants, as applicable, have the necessary permits and approvals to operate each of our properties.
Americans with Disabilities Act
Our properties must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (the “ADA”) to the extent that such properties are “public accommodations” as defined under the ADA. Under the ADA, places of public accommodation must meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The ADA may require removal of structural barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. Although we believe that the properties in our portfolio in the aggregate substantially comply with current requirements of the ADA, and we have not received any notice for correction from any regulatory agency, we have not conducted a comprehensive audit or investigation of all of our properties to determine whether we are in compliance and therefore we may own properties that are not in compliance with the ADA.
ADA compliance is dependent upon the tenant’s specific use of the property, and as the use of a property changes or improvements to existing spaces are made, we will take steps to ensure compliance. Noncompliance with the ADA could result in additional costs to attain compliance, the imposition of fines by the federal government or the award of damages or attorney’s fees to private litigants. The obligation to make readily achievable accommodations is an ongoing one, and we will continue to assess our properties and to make alterations to achieve compliance as necessary.
Environmental Matters
Our properties are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws. Under these laws, courts and government agencies have the authority to require us, as the owner of a contaminated property, to clean up the property, even if we did not know of or were not responsible for the contamination. These laws also apply to persons who owned a property at the time it became contaminated, and therefore it is possible we could incur these costs even after we sell a property. In addition to the costs of cleanup, environmental contamination can affect the value of a property and, therefore, an owner’s ability to borrow using the property as collateral (directly or indirectly) or to sell the property. Under applicable environmental laws, courts and government agencies also have the authority to require that a person who sent waste to a waste disposal facility, such as a landfill or an incinerator, pay for the clean-up of that facility if it becomes contaminated and threatens human health or the environment. We invest in properties historically used for industrial, light manufacturing and commercial purposes. Some of our properties contain, or may have contained, or are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain, underground storage tanks used to store petroleum products and other hazardous or toxic substances, which create a potential for the release of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. We also own properties that are on or are adjacent to or near other properties upon which other persons, including former owners or tenants of our properties, have engaged, or may in the future engage, in activities that may generate or release petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances.
Environmental laws in the United States also require that owners of buildings containing asbestos properly manage and maintain the asbestos, adequately inform or train those who may come into contact with asbestos and undertake special precautions, including removal or other abatement, in the event that asbestos is disturbed during building renovation or demolition. These laws may impose fines and penalties on owners or who fail to comply with these requirements and may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos. Some of our buildings are known to have asbestos containing materials, and others, due to the age of the building and observed conditions, are suspected of having asbestos containing materials. We do not believe these conditions will materially and adversely affect us. In most or all instances, no immediate action was recommended to address the conditions.
Furthermore, various court decisions have established that third parties may recover damages for injury caused by property contamination. For instance, a person exposed to asbestos at one of our properties may seek to recover damages if he or she
6
suffers injury from the asbestos. Lastly, some of these environmental laws restrict the use of a property or place conditions on various activities. An example would be laws that require a business using chemicals to manage them carefully and to notify local officials that the chemicals are being used.
We could be responsible for any of the costs discussed above. The costs to clean up a contaminated property, to defend against a claim, or to comply with environmental laws could be material and could adversely affect the funds available for distribution to our stockholders. All of our properties were subject to a Phase I or similar environmental assessment by independent environmental consultants at the time of acquisition. We generally expect to continue to obtain a Phase I or similar environmental assessment by independent environmental consultants on each property prior to acquiring it. However, these environmental assessments may not reveal all environmental costs that might have a material adverse effect on our business, assets, results of operations or liquidity and may not identify all potential environmental liabilities.
At the time of acquisition, we add each property to our portfolio environmental insurance policy that provides coverage for potential environmental liabilities, subject to the policy’s coverage conditions and limitations.
Compliance with these environmental laws, rules and regulations has not had, and is not expected to have, a material effect on our capital expenditures, results of operations and competitive position as compared to prior periods. We can make no assurances that future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose material environmental liabilities on us, or the current environmental condition of our properties will not be affected by tenants, the condition of land or operations in the vicinity of our properties (such as releases from underground storage tanks), or by third parties unrelated to us.
Insurance
We carry comprehensive general liability, fire, extended coverage and rental loss insurance covering all of the properties in our portfolio under blanket insurance. In addition, we maintain a portfolio environmental insurance policy that provides coverage for potential environmental liabilities, subject to the policy’s coverage conditions and limitations. Generally, we do not carry insurance for certain losses, including, but not limited to, losses caused by floods (unless the property is located in a flood plain), earthquakes, acts of war, acts of terrorism or riots. We carry employment practices liability insurance that covers us against claims by employees, former employees or potential employees for various employment related matters including wrongful termination, discrimination, sexual harassment in the workplace, hostile work environment, and retaliation, subject to the policy’s coverage conditions and limitations. We carry comprehensive cyber liability insurance coverage that covers us against claims related to certain first party and third party losses including data restoration costs, crisis management expenses, credit monitoring costs, failure to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures, invasion of customer’s privacy and negligence, subject to the policy’s coverage conditions and limitations. We also carry directors and officers insurance. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate and adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and standard industry practice; however, our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all of our losses.
Competition
In acquiring our target properties, we often compete with local or regional operators due to our broad and differentiated geographical focus. We also face significant competition from owners and managers of competing properties in leasing our properties to prospective tenants and in re-leasing space to existing tenants. Those owners and managers may be national, regional, or local operators, public or private.
Operating Segments
We manage our operations on an aggregated, single segment basis for purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions, and accordingly, have only one reporting and operating segment. See Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under “Segment Reporting.”
Corporate Responsibility Program
We maintain a corporate responsibility program that incorporates environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) initiatives into our overall business, investment, and asset management strategies. We are also committed to reporting of our ESG initiatives. Since December 2021, we have published an annual “Environmental, Social and Governance Report”, which includes information regarding our ESG policies and programs, historic results, and performance targets, including our long-term greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goal as approved by the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). In addition, annually we participate in the public disclosure rating process of the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark, which is an entity that provides a ranking system to evaluate and compare ESG practices in the real estate industry.
7
Additional information regarding our corporate responsibility program will be included in our definitive Proxy Statement for our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and our 2023 Environmental, Social and Governance Report, or sustainability report, is currently available under the “Corporate Responsibility” section of our website at www.stagindustrial.com. However, the information located on, or accessible from, our website, including our sustainability report, is not, and should not be deemed to be, part of this report or incorporated into any other filing that we submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Human Capital Management
We believe that demonstrating strong financial performance while also promoting awareness and respect for fundamental human rights is important to long-term value creation, business continuity and corporate success. As part of our commitment to providing a work environment that attracts, develops and retains high-performing individuals and that treats employees with dignity and respect:
•We offer equal opportunities to all our employees and seek to foster a diverse and vibrant workplace with employees who possess a broad range of experiences, backgrounds, and skills. We continually assess and strive to enhance employee satisfaction and engagement. Our employees, many of whom have a relatively long tenure with the Company, have regular opportunities to participate in personal growth and professional development programs and social or team building events. We seek to identify and develop future leaders within the Company and periodically review with our Chief Executive Officer and board of directors the identity, skills, and characteristics of those persons who could succeed to senior and executive positions.
•We endeavor to maintain a workplace free from discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, genetic information, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, military or veteran status, and political affiliate or activities, among others. We conduct employee training to prevent discrimination and harassment and monitor and address employee conduct.
•We are committed to compensating our employees well and at competitive industry rates while, at the same time, monitoring our compensation programs to ensure that we are continuously attracting and retaining top talent. We also provide our employees with highly competitive health and wellness benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life, and short-term disability insurance, with premiums entirely paid by the Company. We also offer flexible spending accounts for medical expenses, programs to pay commuting and office parking costs or dependent care costs with pre-tax income, and a competitive vacation policy, including paid holidays, personal time off, and other leave benefits.
•We seek to foster a corporate culture where our stakeholders, including our employees, engage in, and collaborate to extend resources towards, community development. In furtherance of this commitment, we partner with, and support, local charitable organizations that we believe are contributing to the growth and development of the community, particularly organizations assisting at-risk youth. Through our partnerships with these organizations, in recent years, our employees have committed significant time and resources to support children and young adults, including through personal donations, fundraising, and volunteer work.
As of December 31, 2024, we had 91 employees, none represented by a labor union.
Additional information regarding our human capital programs and initiatives will be included in our definitive Proxy Statement for our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and is currently available under the “Corporate Responsibility” section of our website at www.stagindustrial.com.

Our Corporate Structure
STAG Industrial, Inc. was incorporated in Maryland on July 21, 2010. Shares of our common stock are publicly traded on the NYSE New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “STAG.”
Our Operating Partnership was formed as a Delaware limited partnership on December 21, 2009. We own all of our properties and conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership. We are the sole member of the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2024, we owned approximately 98.0% of the common units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership (“common units”), and our current and former executive officers, directors, employees and their affiliates, and third parties owned the remaining 2.0%. The common units are not publicly traded, but each common unit receives the same distribution as a share of our common stock, the value of each common unit is tied to the value of a share of our common stock, and each common unit, after one year, generally may be redeemed (that is, exchanged) for cash in an amount equivalent to the value of a share of our common stock or, if we choose, for a share of
8
common stock on a one-for-one basis. When redeeming common units for cash, the value of a share of our common stock is calculated as the average common stock closing price on the NYSE for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the redemption notice date.
We are structured as an umbrella partnership REIT, also known as an “UPREIT,” with our publicly-traded entity, STAG Industrial, Inc., operating as the REIT in the UPREIT structure, and our Operating Partnership operating as the umbrella partnership. This UPREIT structure provides us an opportunity to acquire properties on a tax-deferred basis by issuing common units in our Operating Partnership in exchange for properties.
The following is a simplified diagram of our UPREIT structure at December 31, 2024.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following risk factors and other information included in this report should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we may currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations.
Risks Related to Our Business and Operations
Adverse economic conditions may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
Our operating results and financial condition may be affected by market and economic challenges and uncertainties, which may result from a general economic downturn experienced by the nation as a whole, by the local economies where our properties are located or our tenants conduct business, or by the real estate industry, including the following: (i) poor economic conditions may result in tenant defaults under leases and extended vacancies at our properties; (ii) re-leasing may require concessions or reduced rental rates under the new leases due to reduced demand; (iii) adverse capital and credit market conditions may restrict our operating activities; and (iv) constricted access to credit may result in tenant defaults, non-renewals under leases or inability of potential buyers to acquire properties held for sale.
Also, to the extent we purchase real estate in an unstable market, we are subject to the risk that if the real estate market ceases to attract the same level of capital investment in the future, or the number of companies seeking to acquire properties decreases, the value of our investments may not appreciate or may decrease significantly below the amount we paid for these investments. Our operating results and financial condition could be negatively affected to the extent that an economic slowdown or downturn is prolonged or becomes more severe.
Inflation, rising interest rates, and developments that affect the financial services industry, may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of other operations.
Beginning in 2021 and continuing into the year ended December 31, 2023, inflation in the United States accelerated and, while moderating compared to year-over-year increases in 2021 and 2022, may continue at a relatively elevated level in the near-term. Beginning in 2022, in an effort to combat inflation and restore price stability, the Federal Reserve significantly raised its benchmark federal funds rate, which led to increases in interest rates in the credit markets. While the Federal Reserve has since reduced the benchmark federal funds rate from its most recent peak, the Federal Reserve may maintain or increase the federal funds rate, which would lead to the current interest rates or higher prevailing in the credit markets and the possibility of slowing economic growth and/or a recession. Additionally, U.S. government policies implemented to address inflation, including actions (or inactions) by the Federal Reserve that maintain or increase interest rates, could harm consumer spending, our tenants’ businesses, demand for and returns from industrial space and our ability to acquire industrial real estate at attractive margins to our cost of capital.
Inflation adversely affects our financing costs (either through near-term borrowings on our variable rate debt, including our unsecured credit facility, or refinancing of existing debt at higher interest rates), and our general and administrative expenses and property operating expenses, as these costs and expenses could increase at a rate higher than our rental and other revenue. To the extent our exposure to increases in interest rates is not eliminated through interest rate swaps or other protection agreements, such increases may also result in higher debt service costs, which will adversely affect our cash flows. Historically, during periods of increasing interest rates, real estate valuations have generally decreased due to rising capitalization rates, which tend to move directionally with interest rates. Consequently, prolonged periods of higher interest rates may negatively impact the valuation of our real estate assets and could result in the decline of the market price of our common stock, which may adversely impact our ability and willingness to raise equity capital on favorable terms, including through our at-the-market (“ATM”) common stock offering program. Although the extent of any prolonged periods of higher interest rates remains unknown at this time, negative impacts to our cost of capital may adversely affect our future business plans and growth, at least in the near term.
Actual events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, transactional counterparties or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future
10
lead to market-wide liquidity problems. In addition, if any parties with whom we conduct business are unable to access funds pursuant to such instruments or lending arrangements with such a financial institution, such parties’ ability to pay their obligations to us or to enter into new commercial arrangements requiring additional payments to us could be adversely affected. Although we assess our banking relationships as we believe necessary or appropriate, our access to funding sources and other credit arrangements in amounts adequate to finance or capitalize our current and projected future business operations could be significantly impaired by factors that affect us, the financial services industry or economy in general. These factors could include, among others, events such as liquidity constraints or failures, the ability to perform obligations under various types of financial, credit or liquidity agreements or arrangements, disruptions or instability in the financial services industry or financial markets, or concerns or negative expectations about the prospects for companies in the financial services industry.
Our investments are in the industrial real estate sector, and we would be adversely affected by an economic downturn in that sector.
As of December 31, 2024, almost all our buildings were industrial properties. This concentration exposes us to the risk of economic downturns in the industrial real estate sector to a greater extent than if our properties were diversified across other sectors of the real estate industry.
We are subject to geographic and industry concentrations that make us susceptible to adverse events with respect to certain markets and industries.
We are subject to certain geographic and industry concentrations with respect to our properties. As a result of these concentrations, any adverse event or downturn in local economic conditions or industry conditions, changes in state or local governmental rules and regulations, acts of nature, epidemics, pandemics or other public health crises and actions taken in response thereto, and other factors affecting these markets or industries could adversely affect us and our tenants operating in those markets or industries. If any tenant is unable to withstand such adverse event or downturn or is otherwise unable to compete effectively in its market or business, it may be unable to meet its rental obligations, seek rental concessions, be unable to enter into new leases or forced to declare bankruptcy and reject our leases, which could materially and adversely affect us.
We have owned many of our properties for a limited time, and we may not be aware of characteristics or deficiencies involving any one or all of them.
Of the properties in our portfolio at December 31, 2024, 194 buildings totaling approximately 35.4 million rentable square feet have been acquired in the past five years. These properties may have characteristics or deficiencies unknown to us that could affect their valuation or revenue potential and such properties may not ultimately perform up to our expectations. We cannot assure you that the operating performance of the properties will not decline under our management.
Our growth depends, in part, upon acquisitions of properties, and we may be unable to consummate acquisitions on advantageous terms and acquisitions may not perform as we expect.
The acquisition of properties entails various risks, including the risk that our investments may not perform as we expect. Our ability to continue to acquire properties in our pipeline that we believe to be suitable and compatible with our growth strategy may be constrained by numerous factors, including our ability to negotiate and execute a mutually-acceptable definitive purchase and sale agreement with the seller, our completion of satisfactory due diligence and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of third-party consents and approvals. Further, we face competition for attractive investment opportunities from other well-capitalized real estate investors, including publicly-traded and non-traded REITs, private equity investors and other institutional investment funds that may have greater financial resources and a greater ability to borrow funds to acquire properties, the ability to offer more attractive terms to prospective tenants and the willingness to accept greater risk or lower returns than we can prudently manage. This competition may increase the demand for our target properties and, therefore, reduce the number of, or increase the price for, suitable acquisition opportunities, all of which could materially and adversely affect us. This competition will increase as investments in real estate become increasingly attractive relative to other forms of investment. In addition, we expect to finance future acquisitions through a combination of borrowings, proceeds from equity or debt securities offerings by us or our Operating Partnership and proceeds from property contributions and divestitures, which may not be available and which could adversely affect our cash flows.
We may face risks associated with acquiring properties in unfamiliar markets.
We have acquired, and may continue to acquire, properties in markets that are new to us. When we acquire properties located in these markets, we face risks associated with a lack of market knowledge or understanding of the local economy (including that
11
competitors and counterparties may have much greater knowledge and understanding), forging new business relationships in the area and unfamiliarity with local government and laws.
A significant portion of our properties have leases that expire in the next two years and we may be unable to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space on favorable terms.
Our operating results, cash flows, cash available for distribution, and the market price of our securities would be adversely affected if we are unable to lease, on economically favorable terms, a significant amount of space in our properties. Our properties may have some level of vacancy at the time of our acquisition and may incur a vacancy either by the continued default of a tenant under its lease or the expiration of one of our leases. As of December 31, 2024, leases with respect to approximately 22.7% (excluding month-to-month leases) of our total annualized base rental revenue will expire before December 31, 2026. We cannot assure you that expiring leases will be renewed or that our properties will be re-leased at base rental rates equal to or above the current market rental rates. In addition, our ability to release space at attractive rental rates will depend on (i) whether the property is specifically suited to the particular needs of a tenant, and (ii) the number of vacant or partially vacant industrial properties in a market or sub-market. In connection with a vacancy at one of our properties, we may face difficulty obtaining, or be unable to obtain, a new tenant for the vacant space. If the vacancy continues for a long period of time, we may suffer reduced revenue resulting in less cash available for distribution to stockholders and the resale value of the property could be diminished.
We face significant competition for tenants, which may negatively impact the occupancy and rental rates at our properties.
We compete with other owners, operators and developers of real estate, some of which own industrial properties in the same markets and sub-markets in which our properties are located. If our competitors offer space at rental rates below current market rates or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may lose potential tenants, and we may be pressured to lower our rental rates or to offer more substantial tenant improvements, early termination rights, below-market renewal options or other lease incentive payments to remain competitive. Competition for tenants could negatively impact the occupancy and rental rates of our properties.
Default by one or more of our tenants could materially and adversely affect us, and bankruptcy laws limit our remedies in the event of a tenant default.
The success of our tenants in operating their businesses will continue to be impacted by many current economic challenges, which impact their cost of doing business, including, but not limited to, availability of financing, inflation, labor shortages, supply chain constraints and increasing energy prices and interest rates. Additionally, macroeconomic and geopolitical risks create challenges that may exacerbate current market conditions (including financial and credit market conditions) in the United States. Any of our tenants may experience an adverse event or downturn in its business or disruptions in liquidity sources at any time that may significantly weaken its financial condition or cause its failure. As a result, such a tenant may fail to make rental payments when due, decline to extend or renew its lease upon expiration and/or declare bankruptcy and reject our lease. The default, financial distress or bankruptcy of a tenant could cause interruptions in the receipt of rental revenue and/or result in a vacancy, which is, in the case of a single-tenant property, likely to result in the complete reduction in the operating cash flows generated by the property and may decrease the value of that property. In addition, a majority of our leases generally require the tenant to pay all or substantially all of the operating expenses associated with the ownership of the property, such as utilities, real estate taxes, insurance and routine maintenance. Following a vacancy at a single-tenant property, we will be responsible for all of the operating costs at such property until it can be re-let, if at all.
The bankruptcy or insolvency of a tenant could diminish the income we receive from that tenant’s lease and we may not be able to evict a tenant solely because of its bankruptcy filing. On the other hand, a bankruptcy court might authorize the tenant to terminate its lease with us. If that happens, our claim against the bankrupt tenant for unpaid future rent would be an unsecured pre-petition claim, subject to statutory limitations, and therefore such amounts received in bankruptcy are likely to be substantially less than the remaining rent we otherwise were owed under the lease. In addition, any claim we have for unpaid past rent could be substantially less than the amount owed.
Any future public health crisis, pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of infectious disease could have material and adverse effects on our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows.
Any future public health crisis, pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of infectious disease, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, could have material and adverse effects on our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows due to, among other factors: (i) government authorities requiring the closure of offices or other businesses or instituting quarantines of personnel;
12
(ii) disruption in global supply and delivery chains; (iii) a general decline in business activity and demand for real estate; (iv) repurposing or redevelopment of defunct retail properties into industrial properties; (v) reduced economic activity, general economic decline or recession, which may impact our tenants’ businesses and may cause one or more of our tenants to be unable to make rent payments to us timely, or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of lease obligations; (vi) difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all; and (vii) the potential negative impact on the health of our personnel or our ability to recruit and retain key employees.
Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure
Our growth depends, in part, on external sources of capital, which are outside of our control and affect our ability to finance acquisitions, take advantage of strategic opportunities, satisfy debt obligations and make distributions to stockholders.
In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are generally required under the Code to annually distribute at least 90% of our net taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain. In addition, we will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income, including any net capital gains. Because of these requirements, we may not be able to fund all future capital needs, including acquisition financing, from operating cash flow and may rely on third-party sources to fund some of our capital needs. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends, in part, on general market conditions, the market’s perception of our growth potential, our current debt levels, our current and expected future earnings, our cash flow and distributions and the market price of our common stock. If we cannot raise equity or obtain financing from third-party sources on favorable terms, or at all, we may not be able to acquire properties when opportunities exist, meet the capital and operating needs of our existing properties or satisfy our debt service obligations. To the extent that capital is not available to acquire properties, profits may not be realized or their realization may be delayed, which could result in an earnings stream that is less predictable than some of our competitors or a failure to meet our projected earnings and distributable cash flow levels in a particular reporting period. Further, in order to meet the REIT distribution requirements and avoid the payment of income and excise taxes, we may need to borrow funds on a short-term basis even if the then-prevailing market conditions are not favorable for these borrowings. These short-term borrowing needs could result from differences in timing between the actual receipt of cash and inclusion of income for federal income tax purposes or the effect of non-deductible capital expenditures, the creation of reserves, certain restrictions on distributions under loan documents or required debt or amortization payments.
Certain provisions of our governing documents and Maryland law may delay or prevent a transaction or a change of control that might be in the best interest of stockholders.
Our charter and bylaws, the Operating Partnership agreement and Maryland law contain provisions that may delay or prevent a transaction or a change of control, including, among other provisions, the following:
Our charter contains 9.8% ownership limits. Our charter, subject to certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to limit any person to actual or constructive ownership of no more than 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of our capital stock and no more than 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of our common stock. While our board of directors, in its sole discretion, may exempt a proposed transferee from the ownership limits, it may not grant an exemption to any proposed transferee whose ownership could jeopardize our REIT status. These ownership limits may delay or prevent a transaction or a change of control that might be in the best interest of stockholders.
Our board of directors may create and issue a class or series of preferred stock without stockholder approval. Our board of directors may amend our charter, without stockholder approval, to (i) increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of common stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series, (ii) designate and issue from time to time one or more classes or series of preferred stock, (iii) classify or reclassify any unissued shares of stock, and (iv) determine the relative rights, preferences and privileges of any class or series of preferred stock. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a transaction or a change of control that might be in the best interests of stockholders.
Certain provisions in the Operating Partnership agreement may delay or prevent a change of control. Provisions in the Operating Partnership agreement could discourage third parties from making proposals involving an unsolicited acquisition or change of control transaction, although some stockholders might consider such proposals, if made, desirable. These provisions include, among others, redemption rights, transfer restrictions on the common units, the ability of the general partner to amend certain provisions in the Operating Partnership agreement without the consent of limited partners and the right of limited partners to consent to certain mergers and transfers of the general partnership interest. In addition, any potential change of
13
control transaction may be further limited as a result of provisions related to the limited partnership interests designated as “LTIP Units” in our Operating Partnership (“LTIP units”) granted under the STAG Industrial, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “2011 Plan”), which require us to preserve the rights of LTIP unit holders and may restrict us from amending the Operating Partnership agreement in a manner that would have an adverse effect on the rights of LTIP unit holders.
Certain provisions of Maryland law could delay or prevent a change in control. Title 8, Subtitle 3 of the Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”), permits our board of directors, without stockholder approval, to implement certain takeover defenses, some of which (for example, a classified board) we do not currently have. These provisions and other provisions of Maryland law may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making an acquisition proposal or delaying or preventing a change of control under circumstances that might be in the best interest of stockholders.
Our board of directors can take many actions without stockholder approval.
Our board of directors has the general authority to oversee our operations and determine our major corporate policies. This authority includes significant flexibility and allows the board to take many actions, without stockholder approval, that could increase our operating expenses, impact our ability to make distributions or reduce the value of our assets. For example, our board of directors can, among other things, (i) change our investment, financing and borrowing strategies and our policies with respect to all other activities, including distributions, leasing, debt, capitalization and operations (including creditworthiness standards with respect to our tenants), (ii) subject to provisions in our charter, prevent the ownership, transfer and accumulation of shares in order to protect our status as a REIT or for any other reason deemed to be in the best interests of us and our stockholders, (iii) issue additional shares (which could dilute the ownership of existing stockholders) and increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares or the number of shares of any class or series or classify or reclassify any unissued shares, without obtaining stockholder approval, and (iv) determine that it is no longer in our best interests to continue to qualify as a REIT.
Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to take action against our directors and officers are limited.
Maryland law provides that a director or officer has no liability in that capacity if he or she performs his or her duties in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in our best interests and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. In addition, our charter eliminates our directors’ and officers’ liability to us and our stockholders for monetary damages, except for liability resulting from actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment and which is material to the cause of action. Our bylaws require us to indemnify our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law for liability actually incurred in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made, or threatened to be made, a party, except to the extent that the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was either committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services, or, in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Additionally, the Operating Partnership agreement limits our liability and requires our Operating Partnership to indemnify us and our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law against all claims that relate to the operations of our Operating Partnership, except for actions taken in bad faith, or with gross negligence or willful misconduct. As a result, we and our stockholders may have more limited rights against our directors and officers than might otherwise exist under common law. In addition, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by our directors and officers.
Our fiduciary duties as sole member of the general partner of our Operating Partnership could create conflicts of interest, which may impede business decisions that could benefit our stockholders.
We have fiduciary duties to the other limited partners in our Operating Partnership, including members of our management team and board of directors, the discharge of which may conflict with the interests of our stockholders. In addition, those persons holding common units will have the right to vote on certain amendments to the Operating Partnership agreement. These voting rights may be exercised in a manner that conflicts with the interests of our stockholders. For example, we are unable to modify the rights of limited partners to receive distributions as set forth in the Operating Partnership agreement in a manner that adversely affects their rights without their consent, even though such modification might be in the best interest of our stockholders.
Conflicts also may arise when the interests of our stockholders and the limited partners of our Operating Partnership diverge, particularly in circumstances in which there may be an adverse tax consequence to the limited partners. As a result of unrealized
14
built-in gain attributable to contributed properties at the time of contribution, some holders of common units, including members of our management team, may suffer more adverse tax consequences than our stockholders upon the sale or refinancing of certain properties, including disproportionately greater allocations of items of taxable income and gain upon a realization event. As those holders will not receive a correspondingly greater distribution of cash proceeds, they may have different objectives regarding the appropriate pricing, timing and other material terms of any sale or refinancing of certain properties, or whether to sell or refinance such properties at all.
We are subject to financial reporting and other requirements for which our accounting, internal audit and other systems and resources may not be adequately prepared and we may not be able to accurately report our financial results.
We are subject to reporting and other obligations under the Exchange Act, including the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by our independent registered public accounting firm addressing these assessments. These reporting and other obligations place significant demands on our management, administrative, operational, internal audit and accounting resources and cause us to incur significant expenses. We may need to upgrade our systems, implement additional financial and management controls and procedures, expand our internal audit function, or hire additional accounting, internal audit and finance staff. Any failure to maintain effective internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and market prices of our securities.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
The market price and trading volume of our common stock may be volatile.
The market price for our common stock has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, often without regard to our operating performance. If the market price of our common stock declines significantly, you may be unable to sell your shares at or above the price at which you acquired them. A number of factors could negatively affect the market price or trading volume of our common stock, many of which are out of our control, including:
•actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results or those of our competitors;
•publication of research reports about us, our competitors, our tenants or the real estate industry;
•changes in our distribution policy;
•increases in market interest rates that lead purchasers of our shares to demand a higher yield;
•the market’s perception of equity investments in REITs and changes in market valuations of similar REITs;
•difficulties or inability to access capital or extend or refinance existing debt or an adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we incur in the future;
•a change in credit ratings issued by analysts or nationally recognized statistical rating organizations;
•additions or departures of key management personnel;
•actions by institutional stockholders or speculation in the press or investment community; and
•general U.S. and worldwide market and economic conditions.
The cash available for distribution to stockholders may not be sufficient to make distributions at expected levels, nor can we assure you of our ability to make distributions in the future.
Distributions will be authorized and determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion from time to time and will depend upon a number of factors, including cash available for distribution, our operating results, operating expenses and financial condition (especially in relation to our anticipated future capital needs), REIT distribution requirements under the Code and other factors the board deems relevant. Consequently, our distribution levels may fluctuate. In addition, to the extent that we make distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, such distributions would generally be considered a return of capital for federal income tax purposes to the extent of the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares. A return of capital is not taxable, but it has the effect of reducing the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its investment. To the extent that distributions exceed the adjusted tax basis of a holder’s shares, they will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such stock. Further, if we borrow funds to make distributions, our future interest costs would increase, thereby reducing our earnings and cash available for distribution from what they otherwise would have been.
The number of shares of our common stock available for future sale, and future offerings of debt or equity securities may be dilutive to existing stockholders and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Our ability to execute our business strategy depends on our access to an appropriate blend of equity and debt financing, including common and preferred stock, debt securities, lines of credit and other forms of secured and unsecured debt. We have
15
filed a registration statement with the SEC allowing us to offer, from time to time, an indefinite amount of equity and debt securities on an as-needed basis, including shares under our ATM common stock offering program. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock (or the perception that such sales might occur), the vesting of equity awards under the 2011 Plan, the issuance of common stock or common units in connection with acquisitions, and other equity issuances may dilute the holdings of our existing stockholders or reduce the market prices of our securities, or both. Holders of our common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights or other protections against dilution. In addition, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by issuing preferred stock or debt securities (including commercial paper, medium-term notes and senior or subordinated notes). Any future issuances of preferred stock will rank senior to our common stock with respect to distributions and liquidation rights, which could limit our ability to make distributions to holders of common stock. In addition, upon liquidation, holders of debt securities would receive a distribution of our available assets prior to any distribution to the holders of common stock. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of our future offerings. Thus, our stockholders bear the risk of future offerings reducing the market prices of our securities and diluting their proportionate ownership.
We have in the past entered, and may in the future enter, into forward sale transactions that subject us to certain risks.
We have previously entered into forward sale agreements and may in the future enter into additional forward sale agreements, including under our ATM common stock offering program, that subject us to certain risks. The future issuance of any shares of common stock upon settlement of any forward sale agreement will result in dilution to our earnings per share, return on equity, and dividends per share. The purchase of common stock in connection with the unwinding of the forward purchaser’s hedge position could cause our stock price to increase (or prevent a decrease) over such time, thereby increasing the amount of cash we would owe (or decreasing the amount of cash owed to us) upon a cash settlement. In addition, pursuant to each forward sale agreement, the relevant forward purchaser will have the right to accelerate the settlement of the forward sale agreement in connection with certain specified events. In such cases, we could be required to settle that particular forward sale agreement and issue common stock irrespective of our capital needs.
Under Section 1032 of the Code, generally, no gains and losses are recognized by a corporation in dealing in its own shares, including pursuant to a “securities futures contract” as defined in the Code. However, because it is not clear whether a forward sale agreement qualifies as a “securities futures contract,” the U.S. federal income tax treatment of any cash settlement payment is uncertain. In the event that we recognize a significant gain from a forward sale agreement, we may not be able to satisfy the gross income requirements applicable to REITs under the Code, may not be able to rely upon certain relief provisions and could lose our REIT status under the Code. Even if relief provisions apply, we would be subject to a tax based on the amount of non-qualifying income.
General Real Estate Risks
Our performance is subject to general economic conditions and risks associated with our real estate assets.
The investment returns available from equity investments in real estate depend on the amount of income earned and capital appreciation generated by the properties, as well as the expenses incurred in connection with the properties. If our properties do not generate income sufficient to meet operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, then our ability to make distributions to stockholders could be adversely affected. In addition, there are significant expenditures associated with an investment in real estate (such as debt payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs) that generally do not decline when circumstances reduce the income from the property. Income from and the value of our properties may be adversely affected by, among other things:
•a global economic crisis that results in increased budget deficits and weakened financial condition of international, national and local governments, which may lead to reduced governmental spending, tax increases, public sector job losses, increased interest rates, currency devaluations, defaults on debt obligations or other adverse economic events;
•other periods of economic slowdown or recession, rising interest rates or declining demand for real estate, or the public perception that any of these events may occur;
•tenant turnover, the attractiveness of our properties to potential tenants and changes in supply of, or demand for, similar or competing properties in an area (including from general overbuilding or excess supply in the market);
•technological changes, such as reconfiguration of supply chains, autonomous vehicles, drones, robotics, 3D printing, online marketplaces for industrial space, or other developments;
•our ability to control rental rates and changes in operating costs and expenses, including costs of compliance with tax, real estate, environmental and zoning laws, rules and regulations and our potential liability thereunder;
•changes in the cost or availability of insurance, including coverage for mold or asbestos;
16
•unanticipated changes in costs associated with known adverse environmental conditions or retained liabilities for such conditions;
•periods of high interest rates and tight money supply;
•future terrorist attacks, which may result in declining economic activity, which could reduce the demand for, and the value of, our properties, and may adversely affect our tenants’ business and their ability to continue to honor their existing lease; and
•disruptions in the global supply chain caused by political, regulatory or other factors, including geopolitical developments outside the United States.
In addition, our investments could be materially adversely affected by changes in national and international political, environmental and socioeconomic circumstances, such as the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia and the Israel-Hamas war, the possibility of such conflicts widening and their impact on macroeconomic conditions. Coupled with changes in Federal Reserve policies on interest rates and other economic disruptions, such circumstances may exacerbate inflation and adversely affect economic and market conditions, the level and volatility of real estate and securities prices and the liquidity of our investments. As military conflicts and related economic sanctions continue to evolve, it has become increasingly difficult to predict the impact of these events.
Real estate investments are not as liquid as other types of investments.
The lack of liquidity in real estate investments may limit our ability to vary our portfolio and react promptly to changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, significant expenditures associated with real estate investments, such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the investments. We intend to comply with the safe harbor rules relating to the number of properties that can be sold each year, the tax basis and the costs of improvements made to such sale properties, and other items that enable a REIT to avoid punitive taxation on property sales. Thus, our ability at any time to sell properties or contribute properties to real estate funds or other entities in which we have an ownership interest may be restricted.
Uninsured losses may adversely affect your returns.
There are certain losses, including losses from floods, earthquakes, acts of war, acts of terrorism or riots, that are not generally insured against or that are not generally fully insured against because it is not deemed economically feasible or prudent to do so. In addition, changes in the cost or availability of insurance could expose us to uninsured casualty losses. In the event that any of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not fully covered by insurance, the value of our assets will be reduced by the amount of any such uninsured loss, we could experience a significant loss of invested capital and potential revenue in the property, we could remain obligated under any recourse debt associated with the property, and we may have no source of funding to repair or reconstruct the damaged property. Moreover, we may be liable for our Operating Partnership’s unsatisfied recourse obligations, including any obligations incurred by our Operating Partnership as the general partner of joint ventures.
Environmentally hazardous conditions may adversely affect our operating results.
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, a current or previous owner of real property may be liable for the cost of remediation or removing hazardous or toxic substances on such property. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Even if more than one person may have been responsible for the contamination, each person covered by the environmental laws may be held responsible for all of the clean‑up costs incurred. In addition, third parties may sue the property owner for damages based on personal injury, natural resources, property damage or other costs, including investigation and clean‑up costs, resulting from the environmental contamination. The presence of hazardous or toxic substances on one of our properties, or the failure to properly remediate a contaminated property, could give rise to a lien in favor of the government for costs it may incur to address the contamination, or otherwise adversely affect our ability to sell or lease the property or borrow using the property as collateral. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated. A property owner who violates environmental laws may be subject to sanctions which may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, private parties. In connection with the acquisition and ownership of our properties, we may be exposed to such costs. The costs of compliance with environmental regulatory requirements, defending against environmental claims or remediation of any contaminated property could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and cash available for distribution to stockholders.
Some of our properties contain asbestos‑containing building materials. Environmental laws require owners of buildings containing asbestos properly manage and maintain the asbestos, adequately inform or train those who may come into contact
17
with asbestos and undertake special precautions in the event that asbestos is disturbed during building renovation or demolition. These laws may impose fines and penalties on owners who fail to comply with these requirements and may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos. In addition, some of our properties contain, or may have contained, or are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain, underground storage tanks used to store petroleum products and other hazardous or toxic substances, which create a potential for the release of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. We also own properties that are on or are adjacent to or near other properties upon which other persons, including former owners or tenants of our properties, have engaged, or may in the future engage, in activities that may release petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances.
Before acquiring a property, we typically obtain a preliminary assessment of environmental conditions at the property, often referred to as “Phase I environmental site assessment.” However, this environmental assessment does not include soil sampling or subsurface investigations and typically does not include an asbestos survey. We may acquire properties with known adverse environmental conditions and/or material environmental conditions, liabilities or compliance concerns may arise after the environmental assessment has been completed. Further, in connection with property dispositions, we may agree to remain responsible for, and to bear the cost of, remediating or monitoring certain environmental conditions on the properties. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability, or the current environmental condition of our properties will not be affected by tenants, by the condition of land or operations in the vicinity of our properties (such as releases from underground storage tanks), or by third parties unrelated to us.
We are exposed to the potential impacts of future climate change and climate change-related risks.
Our properties may be exposed to rare catastrophic weather events, such as severe storms, floods or wildfires. If the frequency of extreme weather events increases due to climate change, our exposure to these events could increase. In addition, in connection with any development, redevelopment or renovation project, we may be harmed by potential changes to the supply chain or stricter energy efficiency standards for industrial buildings. To the extent climate change causes shifts in weather patterns, our markets could experience negative consequences, including declining demand for industrial space and our inability to operate our buildings. Climate change may also have indirect negative effects on our business by increasing the cost of, or decreasing the availability of, property insurance on terms we find acceptable and increasing the cost of energy, building materials and snow removal at our properties. In addition, compliance with new laws or regulations relating to climate change, including “green” building codes, may require us to make improvements to our existing properties or result in increased operating costs. Any such laws or regulations could also impose substantial costs on our tenants, thereby impacting their financial condition and ability to meet their obligations and to lease or re-lease our properties.
Compliance or failure to comply with the ADA and other regulations could result in substantial costs.
Under the ADA, places of public accommodation must meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Noncompliance with these requirements could result in additional costs to attain compliance, the imposition of fines by the federal government or the award of damages or attorney’s fees to private litigants. If we are required to make unanticipated expenditures to comply with the ADA or other regulations, including removing access barriers, then our cash flows and cash available for distribution may be adversely affected. In addition, changes to the requirements set forth in the ADA or other regulations or the adoption of new requirements could require us to make significant unanticipated expenditures.
The ownership of properties subject to ground leases exposes us to certain risks.
We currently own and may acquire additional properties subject to ground leases, or leasehold interests in the land underlying the building. As lessee under a ground lease, we are exposed to the possibility of losing the property upon expiration, or an earlier breach by us, of the ground lease. Our ground leases may also contain provisions that limit our ability to sell the property or require us to obtain the consent of the landlord in order to assign or transfer our rights and obligations under the ground lease in connection with a sale of the property, which could adversely impact the price realized from any such sale. We also own properties that benefit from payment in lieu of tax (“PILOT”) programs or similar programs through leasehold interests with the relevant municipality serving as lessor. While we have the right to purchase the fee interests in these properties for a nominal purchase price, in the event of such a conversion, any preferential tax treatment offered by the PILOT programs will be lost.
We may be unable to sell properties, including as a result of uncertain market conditions.
We expect to hold our properties until a sale or other disposition is appropriate given our investment objectives. Our ability to dispose of any property on advantageous terms depends on factors beyond our control, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers. Due to the uncertainty of market conditions that may affect
18
future property dispositions, we cannot assure you that we will be able to sell our properties at a profit. Accordingly, the extent to which you will receive cash distributions and realize potential appreciation on our investments will be dependent upon fluctuating market conditions. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we will have the funds that may be required to correct defects or to make improvements before a property can be sold.
If we sell properties and provide financing to purchasers, defaults by the purchasers would adversely affect our cash flows.
Under certain circumstances, we may sell properties by providing financing to purchasers. If we provide financing to purchasers, we will bear the risk that the purchaser may default, which could adversely affect our cash flows and ability to make distributions to stockholders and may result in litigation and increased expenses. Even in the absence of a purchaser default, the reinvestment or distribution of the sales proceeds will be delayed until the promissory notes (or other property we may accept upon a sale) are actually paid, sold or refinanced.
Joint venture investments could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on co-venturers’ financial condition and disputes between us and our co-venturers.
We currently have and may in the future selectively acquire, own and/or develop properties through partnerships, joint ventures or other co-investment entities with third parties when we deem such transactions are warranted by the circumstances. In such event, we would not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the property, partnership, joint venture or other entity and would be subject to risks not present were a third party not involved, including the possibility that partners might become bankrupt or fail to fund required capital contributions. Partners may have economic or other business interests that are inconsistent with our objectives, take actions contrary to our policies, or have other conflicts of interest. Such investments may also have the potential risk of impasses on decisions, such as a sale, because neither we nor the partner would have full control over the partnership or joint venture. In addition, prior consent of the partner may be required for a sale or transfer to a third party of our interests in the joint venture, which would restrict our ability to dispose of our interest. In addition, in certain circumstances, we may be liable for the actions of our third-party partners. Joint ventures may be subject to debt and, in volatile credit markets, the refinancing of such debt may require equity capital calls.
Risks Related to Our Debt Financings
Our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected if we are unable to make payments on our debt.
Our charter and bylaws do not limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur, and we are subject to risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flows will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest. There can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance any maturing indebtedness, that such refinancing would be on terms as favorable as the terms of the maturing indebtedness or that we will be able to otherwise obtain funds by selling assets or raising equity to make required payments on maturing indebtedness. In particular, loans obtained to fund property acquisitions may be secured by first mortgages on such properties. If we are unable to make our debt service payments as required, a lender could foreclose on the properties securing its debt, which would cause us to lose part or all of our investment. Certain of our existing secured indebtedness is, and future secured indebtedness may be, cross-collateralized and, consequently, a default on this indebtedness could cause us to lose part or all of our investment in multiple properties.
Increases in interest rates could increase our required debt payments and adversely affect our ability to make distributions to stockholders.
As of December 31, 2024, we had total outstanding debt of approximately $3.0 billion, including approximately $409.0 million of debt subject to variable interest rates (excluding amounts that were hedged to fix rates), and we expect that we will incur additional indebtedness in the future. Interest we pay on outstanding debt reduces our cash available for distribution. Since we have incurred and may continue to incur variable rate debt, increases in interest rates by the Federal Reserve or changes in the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) would raise our interest costs, which reduces our cash flows and our ability to make distributions. If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness at maturity or meet our payment obligations, our financial condition and cash flows would be adversely affected, and we may lose the properties securing such indebtedness. In addition, if we need to repay existing debt during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to sell one or more of our properties at times which may not permit realization of the maximum return on such investments.
19
Our loan covenants could limit our flexibility and adversely affect our financial condition and ability to make distributions.
Our existing mortgage notes and unsecured loan agreements require us to comply with certain financial and other covenants, including loan-to-value, debt service coverage, leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios and, in the case of an event of default, limitations on distributions. In addition, our existing unsecured loan agreements contain, and future agreements may contain, cross-default provisions which are triggered in the event that other material indebtedness is in default. These cross-default provisions may require us to repay or restructure the facilities in addition to any other debt that is in default. Future indebtedness may contain financial or other covenants more restrictive than those in our existing loan agreements.
We are a holding company and conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership. As a result, we rely on distributions from our Operating Partnership to pay dividends and meet our debt service and other obligations. The ability of our Operating Partnership to make distributions to us depends on the operating results of our Operating Partnership and the terms of any loans that encumber our properties. Such loans may contain lock box arrangements, reserve requirements, financial covenants, and other provisions that restrict the distribution of funds in the event of a default.
If debt is unavailable at reasonable rates, we may not be able to finance acquisitions or refinance our existing debt.
If debt is unavailable at reasonable rates, we may not be able to finance acquisitions or refinance existing debt when the loans come due on favorable terms, or at all. Most of our financing arrangements require us to make a lump-sum or “balloon” payment at maturity. Our ability to make a payment at maturity is uncertain and, in the event that we do not have sufficient funds, we will need to refinance this debt. If interest rates are higher when we refinance such debt, our net income, cash flow, and, consequently, our cash available for distribution to stockholders could be reduced. If the credit environment is constrained at the time a payment is due, we may not be able to refinance the existing debt on acceptable terms and may be forced to choose from a number of unfavorable options, including accepting unfavorable financing terms, selling properties on disadvantageous terms or defaulting and permitting the lender to foreclose.
In addition, adverse developments affecting the financial services industry or investor concerns regarding the U.S. or international financial systems could result in less favorable commercial financing terms, including higher interest rates or costs and more restrictive financial and operating covenants, or systemic limitations on access to credit and liquidity sources, thereby making it more difficult for us to acquire financing on acceptable terms or at all. Any decline in available funding or access to our cash and liquidity resources could, among other risks, adversely impact our ability to meet our financial or other obligations or reduce our net income and cash available for distribution to stockholders.
Our hedging strategies may not be successful in mitigating our risks associated with interest rates.
Our various derivative financial instruments involve certain risks, such as the risk that the counterparties fail to honor their obligations, that these arrangements may not be effective in reducing our exposure to interest rate changes, and that a court rules that such agreements are not legally enforceable. In addition, the nature, timing and costs of hedging transactions may influence the effectiveness of our hedging strategies. Poorly designed strategies or improperly executed transactions could actually increase our risk and losses. We cannot assure you that our hedging strategies and derivative financial instruments will adequately offset the risk of interest rate volatility or that such instruments will not result in losses that may adversely impact our financial condition.
Adverse changes in our credit ratings could negatively affect our financing activity.
The credit ratings of our unsecured debt are based on our operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, overall financial position and other factors employed by the credit rating agencies. Our credit ratings can affect the amount of capital we can access, as well as the terms and pricing of our debt. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings, and in the event our credit ratings are downgraded, we would incur greater borrowing costs and may encounter difficulty in obtaining additional financing. Also, a downgrade in our credit ratings may trigger additional payments or other negative consequences under our unsecured credit facility and other debt instruments. Adverse changes in our credit ratings could harm our capital market activities, ability to manage debt maturities, future growth and acquisition activity.
20
U.S. Federal Income Tax Risks
Failure to qualify as a REIT would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution.
Our qualification as a REIT will depend upon our ability to meet requirements regarding our organization and ownership, distributions of our income, the nature and diversification of our income and assets and other tests imposed by the Code. If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year after electing REIT status, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. In addition, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which we failed to qualify as a REIT. Losing our REIT status would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to stockholders because of the additional tax liability. In addition, dividends to stockholders would no longer qualify for the dividends‑paid deduction and we would no longer be required to make distributions. If this occurs, we might be required to borrow funds or liquidate some investments in order to pay the applicable tax.
Even if we maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to other tax liabilities that reduce our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to stockholders.
Even if we maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to some federal, state and local taxes.
For example, (i) we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on the undistributed income to the extent that we satisfy the REIT distribution requirements but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, (ii) we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which distributions we pay in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years, (iii) we will be subject to the highest corporate income tax rate if we have net income from the sale of foreclosure property that we hold primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business or other non‑qualifying income from foreclosure property, (iv) we will be subject to a 100% “prohibited transaction” tax on our gain from an asset sale, other than foreclosure property, that we hold primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, unless such sale were made by our taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) or if we qualify for a safe harbor; and (v) our TRS will be subject to federal, state and local income tax at regular corporate rates on any income that it earns.
REIT distribution requirements could adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan.
From time to time, we may generate taxable income greater than our income for financial reporting purposes, or our taxable income may be greater than our cash available for distribution to stockholders. If we do not have other funds available in these situations, we could be required to borrow or raise equity on unfavorable terms, sell investments at disadvantageous prices, make taxable distributions of our stock or debt securities or find another alternative source of funds to distribute enough of our taxable income to satisfy the REIT distribution requirement and to avoid corporate income tax and the 4% excise tax in a particular year. These alternatives could increase our costs or reduce the value of our equity. In addition, to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must satisfy certain tests on an ongoing basis concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, nature of our assets and the amounts we distribute to our stockholders. We may be required to make distributions to stockholders at times when it would be more advantageous to reinvest cash in our business or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits and the value of our stockholders’ investment.
Re-characterization of sale‑leaseback transactions may cause us to lose our REIT status.
In certain circumstances, we expect to purchase properties and lease them back to the sellers of such properties. While we intend to structure such a sale‑leaseback transaction such that the lease will be characterized as a “true lease” for tax purposes, we cannot assure you that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) will not challenge such characterization. In the event that any such sale‑leaseback transaction is challenged and re-characterized as a financing transaction or loan for federal income tax purposes, deductions for depreciation and cost recovery relating to such property would be disallowed. If a sale‑leaseback transaction were so re-characterized, we might fail to satisfy the REIT qualification “asset tests” or “income tests” and, consequently, lose our REIT status effective with the year of re-characterization. Alternatively, the amount of our REIT taxable income could be recalculated which might also cause us to fail to meet the distribution requirement for a taxable year.
21
The prohibited transactions tax may limit our ability to engage in certain transactions.
A REIT’s net income from prohibited transactions is subject to a 100% tax. In general, prohibited transactions are dispositions of property, other than foreclosure property, held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. Although a safe harbor to the characterization of a disposition as a prohibited transaction is available, we cannot assure you that we can comply with the safe harbor or that we will avoid owning property that may be characterized as held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. Consequently, we may choose not to engage in certain dispositions or may conduct such dispositions through a TRS.
We may be subject to adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes.
Federal income taxation rules are constantly under review by the IRS, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and persons involved in the legislative process. Changes to tax laws, with or without retroactive application, through new legislation, Treasury Regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions could adversely affect us or our stockholders, including by negatively affecting our ability to qualify as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification, or reducing the relative attractiveness of an investment in a REIT compared to a corporation not qualified as a REIT. We cannot predict the long-term effect of future law changes on us or our stockholders.
Other General Risks
We face risks associated with system failures through security breaches or cyber-attacks, as well as other significant disruptions of our information technology (“IT”) networks and related systems.
We face risks associated with security breaches, cyber-attacks, and other significant disruptions of our IT networks and related systems. The risk of a security breach, cyber-attack or disruption has increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks from around the world have increased. We may be unable to identify, investigate or remediate cyber events or incidents because attackers are increasingly using sophisticated techniques and tools (including generative artificial intelligence and other machine learning techniques) that can avoid detection, circumvent security controls, and even remove or obfuscate forensic evidence. There can be no assurance that our security measures taken to manage the risk of a security breach, cyber-attack or disruption will be effective or that attempted security breaches, cyber-attacks or disruptions would not be successful or damaging. Any failure of our IT networks and related systems could (i) disrupt the proper functioning of our networks and systems, (ii) result in misstated financial reports, violations of loan covenants or missed reporting deadlines, (iii) disrupt our inability to monitor our compliance with REIT requirements, (iv) result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation or release of proprietary, confidential, sensitive or otherwise valuable information, (v) require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result, (vi) subject us to claims for breach of contract or failure to safeguard personal information or termination of leases or other agreements, or (vii) damage our reputation among our tenants and investors generally.
As new technologies, including tools that harness generative artificial intelligence and other machine learning techniques, rapidly develop and become accessible, the use of such new technologies by us will present additional known and unknown risks, including, among others, the risk that confidential information may be stolen, misappropriated or disclosed and the risk that we may rely on incorrect, unclear or biased outputs generated by such technologies, any of which could have an adverse impact on us and our business.
We depend on key personnel; the loss of their full service could adversely affect us.
Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of certain key personnel including, but not limited to, our executive officers, whose continued service is not guaranteed, and each of whom would be difficult to replace. Our ability to retain our management team or to attract suitable replacements should any members of the management team leave is dependent on the competitive nature of the employment market. Each executive officer may terminate his employment at any time and, under certain conditions, may receive cash severance, immediate vesting of equity awards and other benefits and may not be restricted from competing with us after their departure. The loss of services from key members of the management team or a limitation in their availability could be negatively perceived in the capital markets and may adversely impact our operating results, financial condition and cash flows. As of December 31, 2024, we have not obtained and do not expect to obtain key man life insurance on any of our key personnel. We also believe that, as we expand, our future success will depend upon our ability to hire and retain highly skilled managerial, investment, financing, operational, and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in attracting and retaining such skilled personnel.
22
An increased focus on metrics and reporting related to corporate responsibility, specifically related to ESG factors, may impose additional costs and expose us to new risks.
Investors and other stakeholders are focused on a variety of ESG matters and refer to rating systems developed by third party groups to compare companies. We do not participate, or may not score well, in some of these rating systems. Further, the criteria used in these rating systems change frequently, and our scores may drop as the criteria changes. We supplement our participation in these ratings systems with public disclosures regarding our ESG activities, but investors and other stakeholders may look for specific disclosures that we do not provide. Our failure to engage in certain ESG initiatives, to provide certain ESG disclosures or to participate, or score well, in certain ratings systems could result in reputational harm and could cause certain investors to be unwilling to invest in our stock, which could impair our ability to raise capital.
Our compensation plans may not be tied to or correspond with our improved financial results or the market prices for our securities, which may adversely affect us.
The compensation committee of our board of directors is responsible for overseeing our executive compensation plans. The compensation committee has significant discretion in structuring these compensation packages and may make compensation decisions based on any number of factors. As a result, compensation awards may not be tied to or correspond with improved financial results at the Company or the market prices for our securities.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 1C. Cybersecurity
Introduction
We recognize the importance of maintaining the trust and confidence of our tenants, business partners and employees with respect to the integrity of our IT network and related systems. We seek to address cybersecurity risks and preserve the confidentiality, security and availability of the information collected and stored on our IT networks and related systems through a comprehensive approach focused on (i) identifying, evaluating and managing our cybersecurity risks, (ii) preventing or mitigating potential threats, and (iii) responding appropriately to security breaches, cyber-attacks, IT network failures and other incidents, if and when they occur. While risk management is primarily the responsibility of our senior management team, our board of directors plays a role in overseeing our cybersecurity risk management program. Our board of directors administers this oversight function directly and with support from its audit committee, which has been delegated the responsibility to evaluate our major financial risks, including our policies and practices to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken.
For additional information regarding our cybersecurity risks, see “Item 1.A. Risk Factors—Other General Risks—We face risks associated with system failures through security breaches or cyber-attacks, as well as other significant disruptions of our information technology (“IT”) networks and related systems” above.
Risk Management and Strategy
Our cybersecurity risk management program is focused on the key areas below:
•Governance. In fulfilling its oversight responsibility, our board of directors receives regular reports from our senior management team on our cybersecurity risks and exposures, infrastructure and countermeasures, and other monitoring, testing and recovery systems.
•Collaborative Approach. We use a comprehensive, cross-departmental approach for identifying, evaluating, preventing and/or mitigating cybersecurity threats and incidents, and have implemented controls and procedures that provide for the prompt escalation of significant cybersecurity incidents so that decisions regarding reporting and public disclosure of such incidents can be made in a timely manner.
23
•Technical Safeguards. We deploy technical safeguards intended to protect our IT networks and related systems from cybersecurity threats, including firewalls, intrusion prevention, detection and isolation systems, anti-virus and malware functionality, backup functionality, and access controls. These technical safeguards are regularly evaluated and improved through vulnerability assessments, network penetration testing and threat intelligence, including by third-party consultants, who also continually monitor our information security. Any significant developments related to our technical safeguards, including any material results of any vulnerability assessments or network penetration testing, are reported to our board of directors, and we adjust our cybersecurity risk management policies and practices as necessary.
•Management of Third-Party Risk s. We use a risk-based approach to evaluating cybersecurity risks presented by third parties, such as vendors, service providers, and external users of our IT networks and related systems, as well as risks related to our use of third-party systems that could adversely affect our business in the event of a cybersecurity incident centered on those systems.
•Education and Awareness. We provide regular, mandatory cybersecurity training for our employees to help them identify and avoid potential cybersecurity threats and understand our policies and guidelines related to our IT network and related systems. As part of this training program, we regularly test our employees for information security awareness, including through random electronic communications designed to simulate how a threat actor might attempt to compromise our IT network and related systems.
•Cybersecurity Insurance. We carry comprehensive cyber liability insurance coverage that covers us against claims related to certain first-party and third-party losses, including data restoration costs and crisis management expenses, subject to the policy’s coverage conditions and limitations.
Governance
Our board of directors, together with the audit committee of our board of directors, oversees our cybersecurity risk management program. In addition, the audit committee is responsible for reviewing with management the effectiveness of our internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting systems, including, among other things, our internal controls designed to assess, identify, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats.
On regular basis, our board of directors receives a presentation on cybersecurity risks from our senior management team, which may, depending on relevance at the time of the report, address topics such as prevailing cybersecurity threats, vulnerability assessments and/or network integrity testing, infrastructure and practice updates, and other considerations applicable to our IT network and related systems and other third-party systems.
Members of management work collaboratively to develop and implement policies, practices and procedures to protect our IT networks and related systems from cybersecurity threats and to respond appropriately and timely to any cybersecurity incidents. The members of management responsible for our cybersecurity risk management program include our Vice President–Information Technology, our General Counsel, our Chief Accounting Officer, our Senior Vice President–Data and Technology, and our Vice President–Financial Reporting and Accounting. Through ongoing communications from employees in each of our Data, Analytics and Technology and Information Technology departments, such members of management monitor our assessment of material cybersecurity risks, our prevention and detection of cybersecurity threats, and, if a cybersecurity incident were to occur, our mitigation and remediation of such incident.
We believe the members of our management team involved in assessing and managing material cybersecurity risks have the experience needed to perform their duties, including through education, certification, work experience or a combination thereof. For example, our Vice President–Information Technology has approximately 26 years of IT experience in various roles, the majority of which has been at publicly-reporting real estate companies. In addition, the other members of our management team identified above have from 15 years to 30 years of work experience managing risks or control environments, including experience at the Company and other professional businesses, or, as third-party advisors, helping businesses manage risks or control environments.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. For the definitions of certain terms used in the following discussion, refer to Item 1, “Business - Certain Definitions” included elsewhere in this report.
Overview
We are a REIT focused on the acquisition, ownership, and operation of industrial properties throughout the United States. Our platform is designed to (i) identify properties for acquisition that offer relative value across CBRE-EA Tier 1 industrial property
35
types and tenants through the principled application of our proprietary risk assessment model, (ii) provide growth through sophisticated industrial operation and an attractive opportunity set, and (iii) capitalize our business appropriately given the characteristics of our assets. We are a Maryland corporation and our common stock is publicly traded on the NYSE under the symbol “STAG.”
We are organized and conduct our operations to maintain our qualification as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, and generally are not subject to federal income tax to the extent we currently distribute our income to our stockholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT. We remain subject to state and local taxes on our income and property and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
Our qualification and taxation as a REIT depend upon our ability to meet on a continuing basis, through actual annual operating results, qualification tests in the federal income tax laws. Those tests involve the percentage of income that we earn from specified sources, the percentage of our assets that falls within specified categories, the diversity of our capital stock ownership and the percentage of our earnings that we distribute.
As of December 31, 2024, we owned 591 buildings in 41 states with approximately 116.6 million rentable square feet. We own both single- and multi-tenant properties, although the majority of our portfolio is single-tenant.
As of December 31, 2024, our buildings were approximately 96.5% leased, with no single tenant accounting for more than approximately 2.9% of our total annualized base rental revenue and no single industry accounting for more than approximately 11.3% of our total annualized base rental revenue.
We own all of our properties and conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership, which we control and manage. As of December 31, 2024, we owned approximately 98.0% of the common units in our Operating Partnership, and our current and former executive officers, directors, senior employees and their affiliates, and other third parties owned the remaining 2.0%.
Factors That May Influence Future Results of Operations
Our ability to increase revenues or cash flow will depend in part on our (i) external growth, specifically acquisition activity, and (ii) internal growth, specifically occupancy and rental rates on our portfolio. A variety of other factors, including those noted below, also affect our future results of operations.
Outlook
The industrial real estate business is affected by general macro-economic trends including recent changes in interest rates, inflation, and geopolitical tensions. These factors are key drivers of financial market volatility and raise concerns about a slowing global economy. While U.S. gross domestic product (“GDP”) declined during the first two quarters of 2022, real GDP has increased for nine consecutive quarters with the most recent measure showing 3.1% growth in the third quarter of 2024. Labor conditions are slowing but holding solid with a 4.1% unemployment rate as of December 2024. The general consensus among economists is low growth in the United States with a continued historically elevated risk of recession. While the macro-economic conditions will evolve and could result in tighter credit conditions, weakening tenant cash flows, and rising vacancy rates, we believe we will benefit on a relative basis from having a well-diversified portfolio across various markets, tenant industries, and lease terms. Additionally, we believe that recent moves toward more regional supply chains and geopolitical tensions positively affect U.S. industrial demand. However, given the current uncertainty and events discussed above, our acquisition activity slowed since 2022.
We believe that the current economic environment, while volatile, will provide us with an opportunity to demonstrate the diversification of our portfolio. Specifically, we believe our existing portfolio should benefit from competitive rental rates and strong occupancy. In addition to our diversified portfolio, we believe that certain characteristics of our business and capital structure should position us well in an uncertain environment, including our minimal floating rate debt exposure (taking into account our hedging activities), strong banking relationships, strong liquidity, and access to capital.
Due to demographic/consumer trends, geopolitical uncertainty and recent legislation supporting U.S. infrastructure, we expect industrial-specific trends to support stronger long term demand, including:
•the continued growth of e-commerce (as compared to the traditional retail store distribution model) and the concomitant demand by e-commerce industry participants for well-located, functional distribution space;
36
•the increasing attractiveness of the United States as a manufacturing and distribution location because of the size of the U.S. consumer market, an increase in overseas labor costs, policies that promote domestic and regional manufacturing onshoring and nearshoring, a desire for greater supply chain resilience and redundancy which is driving higher inventory to sales ratios and greater domestic warehouse demand over the long term (i.e. the shortening and fattening of the supply chain); and
•the overall quality of the transportation infrastructure in the United States.
Our portfolio continues to have strong occupancy and benefits from geographic diversity throughout the national industrial market. Demand across the industrial market is moderating relative to recent peaks. Vacancy and availability rates, while rising, remain low by historical standards in many markets. The supply pipeline remains robust, albeit smaller and, in certain market, concentrated in very large warehouses. Construction starts continue to decline as a result of both moderating demand and volatile capital markets. The volatile global and U.S. macro-economic trends could be a notable headwind and could result in relatively less demand for space, increased credit loss, and higher vacancy. We believe that the diversification of our portfolio by market, tenant industry, and tenant credit will prove to be a strength in this environment.
On October 22, 2024, American Tire Distributors, Inc. (“ATD”), a tenant that accounts for approximately 1% of our total annualized base rental revenue as of December 31, 2024, voluntarily filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. ATD leases seven buildings from us totaling 840,658 square feet. Annualized base rental revenue for the seven buildings is approximately $6.1 million as of December 31, 2024. ATD’s bankruptcy filings indicate an intent to continue operations and to sell its assets to its current lender group. The contemplated transaction would eliminate a significant amount of debt and should provide the reorganized business with access to new capital. ATD is current on its rent obligations to us. While the sale and reorganization may not be successful and pursuant to the sale and reorganization ATD could assume or reject any or all of the seven leases (including after closing of the sale of ATD to its lenders), we do not currently believe that the tenant’s bankruptcy is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Conditions in Our Markets
The buildings in our portfolio are located in markets throughout the United States. Positive or negative changes in economic or other conditions, new supply, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, epidemics, and other factors in these markets may affect our overall performance.
Rental Income
We receive income primarily in the form of rental income from the tenants who occupy our buildings. The amount of rental income generated by the buildings in our portfolio depends principally on occupancy and rental rates.
Future economic downturns or regional downturns affecting our submarkets that impair our ability to renew or re-lease space and the ability of our tenants to fulfill their lease commitments, as in the case of tenant bankruptcies, could adversely affect our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our buildings. Our ability to lease our properties and the attendant rental rate is dependent upon, among other things, (i) the overall economy, (ii) the supply/demand dynamic in our markets, (iii) the quality of our properties, including age, clear height, and configuration, and (iv) our tenants’ ability to meet their contractual obligations to us.
The following table summarizes our Operating Portfolio leases that commenced during the year ended December 31, 2024. Any rental concessions in such leases are accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

(1)“Total Costs” means the costs for improvements of vacant and renewal spaces, as well as the contingent-based legal fees and commissions for leasing transactions. Total Costs per square foot represent the total costs expected to be incurred on the leases that commenced during the period and do not reflect actual expenditures for the period.
(2)Represents the total rental concessions for the entire lease term.
37
Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2024, leases related to the Value Add Portfolio and first generation leasing, with a total of 622,332 square feet, are excluded from the Operating Portfolio statistics above.
Property Operating Expenses
Our property operating expenses generally consist of utilities, real estate taxes, management fees, insurance, and site repair and maintenance costs. For the majority of our tenants, our property operating expenses are controlled, in part, by the triple net provisions in tenant leases. In our triple net leases, the tenant is responsible for all aspects of and costs related to the building and its operation during the lease term, including utilities, taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs, but typically excluding roof and building structure. However, we also have modified gross leases and gross leases, as well as leases with expense caps, in our building portfolio, which may require us to absorb certain building related expenses of our tenants. In our modified gross leases, we are responsible for certain building related expenses during the lease term, but most of the expenses are passed through to the tenant for reimbursement to us. In our gross leases, we are responsible for all expenses related to the building and its operation during the lease term. Our overall performance will be affected by the extent to which we are able to pass-through property operating expenses to our tenants.
Scheduled Lease Expirations
Our ability to re-lease space subject to expiring leases will impact our results of operations and is affected by economic and competitive conditions in our markets and by the desirability of our individual buildings. Leases that comprise approximately 5.8% of our total annualized base rental revenue will expire during the period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, excluding month-to-month leases. We assume, based upon internal renewal probability estimates, that some of our tenants will renew and others will vacate and the associated space will be re-let subject to downtime assumptions. Using the aforementioned assumptions, we expect that, overall, the rental rates on the respective new leases will be greater than the rates under existing leases expiring during the period January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, thereby resulting in an increase in revenue from the same space.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Certain estimates, judgments and assumptions are inherently subjective and based on the existing business and market conditions, and are therefore continually evaluated based upon available information and experience. The following items require significant estimation or judgement.
Purchase Price Accounting
We have determined that judgments regarding the allocation of the purchase price of properties based upon the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represents a critical accounting estimate that has the potential to be material in future periods and has been material in all periods presented in this Form 10-K. As discussed below in “Critical Accounting Policies,” we allocate the purchase price of properties based upon the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which generally consist of land, buildings, tenant improvements, mortgage debt assumed, and deferred leasing intangibles, which includes in-place leases, above market and below market leases, and tenant relationships, and therefore involves subjective analysis and uncertainty. The process for determining the allocation to these components requires estimates and assumptions, including rental rates, discount rates, exit capitalization rates, and land value per square foot. We do not believe that the conclusions we reached regarding the allocation of the purchase price of properties, in the current economic and operating environment, would result in a materially different conclusion within any reasonable range of assumptions that could have been applied. As discussed below, we continuously assess our portfolio for the impairment of tangible and intangible rental property and deferred leasing intangible liabilities.
Rental Property and Deferred Leasing Intangible Liabilities Impairment Assessment
We have determined that judgments regarding the impairment of tangible and intangible rental property and deferred leasing intangible liabilities represents a critical accounting estimate that has the potential to be material in future periods and has been material in certain periods presented in this Form 10-K. As discussed below in “Critical Accounting Policies,” we evaluate the carrying value of all tangible and intangible rental property assets and deferred leasing intangible liabilities (collectively, the “property”) held for use for possible impairment when an event or change in circumstance has occurred that indicates their
38
carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation includes estimating and reviewing anticipated future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from the property. If such cash flows are less than the property’s carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. Estimating future cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions related to anticipated hold period, future occupancy, rental rates, capital requirements, and exit capitalization rates that could differ from actual results. The discount rate used to present value the cash flows for determining fair value is also subjective. We do not believe that the conclusions we reached regarding the assessment of our rental property assets for impairment, in the current economic and operating environment, would result in a materially different conclusion within any reasonable range of assumptions that could have been applied. Should economic conditions worsen, and the values of industrial assets decline in future periods, then the assumptions and estimates we may make in future impairment analyses, and potential future measurement of impairment charges, could be sensitive and could result in a material change in the range of potential outcomes.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. From time to time, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. Below is a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.
Rental Property and Deferred Leasing Intangibles
Rental property is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Significant renovations and betterments that extend the economic useful lives of assets are capitalized.
We capitalize costs directly and indirectly related to the development, pre-development, redevelopment, or improvement of rental property. Real estate taxes, compensation costs of development personnel, insurance, interest, and other directly related costs during construction periods are capitalized as incurred, with depreciation commencing with the date the property is substantially completed. Such costs begin to be capitalized to the development projects from the point we are undergoing the necessary activities to get the development project ready for its intended use and cease when the development projects are substantially completed and held available for occupancy. Interest is capitalized based on actual capital expenditures from the period when development or redevelopment commences until the asset is ready for its intended use, at the weighted average borrowing rate of our unsecured indebtedness during the period.
For properties classified as held for sale, we cease depreciating and amortizing the rental property and value the rental property at the lower of depreciated and amortized cost or fair value less costs to dispose. We present those properties classified as held for sale with any qualifying assets and liabilities associated with those properties as held for sale in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Using information available at the time of acquisition, we allocate the purchase price of properties acquired based upon the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which generally consist of land, buildings, tenant improvements, mortgage debt assumed, and deferred leasing intangibles, which includes in-place leases, above market and below market leases, and tenant relationships. The process for determining the allocation to these components requires estimates and assumptions, including rental rates, discount rates and exit capitalization rates, and land value per square foot, as well as available market information, and therefore involves subjective analysis and uncertainty. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. The portion of the purchase price that is allocated to above and below market leases is valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in-place rates measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease term plus the term of any bargain renewal options. The purchase price is further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and its overall relationship with the respective tenant.
The above and below market lease values are amortized into rental income over the remaining lease term. The value of in-place lease intangibles and tenant relationships are amortized over the remaining lease term (and expected renewal period of the
39
respective lease for tenant relationships) as increases to depreciation and amortization expense. The remaining lease terms are adjusted for bargain renewal options or assumed exercises of early termination options, as applicable. If a tenant subsequently terminates its lease, any unamortized portion of above and below market leases is accelerated into rental income and the in-place lease value and tenant relationships are accelerated into depreciation and amortization expense over the shortened lease term.
The purchase price allocated to deferred leasing intangible assets are included in rental property, net on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the purchase price allocated to deferred leasing intangible liabilities are included in deferred leasing intangibles, net on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets under the liabilities section.
In determining the fair value of the debt assumed, we discount the spread between the future contractual interest payments and hypothetical future interest payments on mortgage debt based on a current market rate. The associated fair market value debt adjustment is amortized through interest expense over the life of the debt on a basis which approximates the effective interest method.
We evaluate the carrying value of all tangible and intangible rental property assets and deferred leasing intangible liabilities (collectively, the “property”) held for use for possible impairment when an event or change in circumstance has occurred that indicates their carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation includes estimating and reviewing anticipated future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from the property. If such cash flows are less than the property’s carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent by which the property’s carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. Estimating future cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding anticipated hold period, future occupancy, rental rates, capital requirements, and exit capitalization rates that could differ from actual results. The discount rate used to present value the cash flows for determining fair value is also subjective.
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives.
| Description | Estimated Useful Life | |||||||
| Building | 40 Years | |||||||
| Building and land improvements (maximum) | 20 years | |||||||
| Tenant improvements | Shorter of useful life or terms of related lease | |||||||
Interest in Joint Ventures
We have equity interests in consolidated joint ventures that are primarily engaged in the development and operation of industrial real estate properties. We evaluated the joint ventures under the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model of consolidation and determined that the joint ventures are not VIEs. Accordingly, we determined to account for our interest in the joint ventures under the voting interest model of consolidation, as we have a majority voting interest and financial control. Control is determined using accounting standards related to the consolidation of joint ventures and VIEs. The evaluation of control includes a review of the entity’s governing documents and our rights and obligations. In determining whether we have a controlling financial interest in a joint venture, we consider various factors, including the percentage of voting interests owned, the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and the extent of our exposure to the entity’s returns. We also consider whether other parties hold substantive participating rights or protective rights that would preclude consolidation. We reevaluate our consolidation conclusions on an ongoing basis and upon occurrence of certain significant events under the accounting standards consolidation guidance.
The assets and liabilities of the consolidated joint ventures are included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the joint ventures’ results of operations are included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Each joint venture partner’s share of its joint venture is reflected as noncontrolling interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Our interest in the joint ventures is recognized under the hypothetical liquidation at book value model. Under this model, our earnings from and equity interest in the joint ventures are recorded based on our proportionate share of the ownership of the joint venture, after giving effect to incentive fees earned by the joint venture partner.
Leases
For leases in which we are the lessee, we recognize a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets equal to the present value of the fixed lease payments. In determining operating right-of-use asset
40
and lease liability for our operating leases, we estimate an appropriate incremental borrowing rate on a fully-collateralized basis for the terms of the leases. We utilize a market-based approach to estimate the incremental borrowing rate for each individual lease. Since the terms under our ground leases are significantly longer than the terms of borrowings available to us on a fully-collateralized basis, the estimate of this rate requires significant judgment, and considers factors such as yields on outstanding public debt and other market based pricing on longer duration financing instruments.
Goodwill
The excess of the cost of an acquired business over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired (including identified intangible assets) and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. As of December 31, 2024, our goodwill of approximately $4.9 million represents amounts allocated to the assembled workforce from the acquired management company, and is presented in prepaid expenses and other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our goodwill has an indeterminate life and is not amortized, but is tested for impairment on an annual basis at December 31, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. We take a qualitative approach to consider whether an impairment of goodwill exists prior to quantitatively determining the fair value of the reporting unit in step one of the impairment test. We have recorded no impairments to goodwill as of December 31, 2024.
Use of Derivative Financial Instruments
We record all derivatives on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether we have elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting, and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. We may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or we elect not to apply hedge accounting.
In accordance with fair value measurement guidance, we made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of our derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting arrangements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio. Credit risk is the risk of failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the contract. We minimize the credit risk in our derivative financial instruments by entering into transactions with various high-quality counterparties. Our exposure to credit risk at any point is generally limited to amounts recorded as assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant accounts receivable, interest rate swaps, accounts payable, accrued expenses, unsecured credit facility, unsecured term loans, unsecured notes, and mortgage note. See Note 4 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the fair value of our indebtedness. See Note 5 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the fair value of our interest rate swaps.
We adopted fair value measurement provisions for our financial instruments recorded at fair value. The guidance establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
Incentive and Equity-Based Employee Compensation Plans
We grant equity-based compensation awards to our employees and directors in the form of restricted shares of common stock, LTIP units, and performance units. See Notes 6, 7 and 8 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of restricted shares of common stock, LTIP units, and performance units, respectively. We measure equity-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date and recognize the expense ratably over the vesting period, and forfeitures are recognized in the period in which they occur.
41
On January 7, 2021, we adopted the STAG Industrial, Inc. Employee Retirement Vesting Program (the “Vesting Program”) to provide supplemental retirement benefits for eligible employees. For those employees who are retirement eligible or will become retirement eligible during the applicable vesting period under the terms of the Vesting Program, we accelerate equity-based compensation through the employee’s six-month retirement notification period or retirement eligibility date, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
All current leases are classified as operating leases and rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease (and expected bargain renewal terms or assumed exercise of early termination options) when collectability is reasonably assured. Differences between rental income earned and amounts due under the lease are charged or credited, as applicable, to accrued rental income.
We determined that for all leases where we are the lessor, that the timing and pattern of transfer of the non-lease components and associated lease components are the same, and that the lease components, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Accordingly, we have made an accounting policy election to recognize the combined component in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 as rental income on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Rental income recognition commences when the tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased space and the leased space is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. In order to determine whether the leased space is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, we determine whether we or the tenant own the tenant improvements. When it is determined that we are the owner of the tenant improvements, rental income recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the finished space, which is generally when our owned tenant improvements are completed. In instances when it is determined that the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements, rental income recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased space.
When we are the owner of tenant improvements or other capital items, the cost to construct the tenant improvements or other capital items, including costs paid for or reimbursed by the tenants, is recorded as capital assets. For these tenant improvements or other capital items, the amount funded by or reimbursed by the tenants are recorded as deferred revenue, which is amortized on a straight-line basis as income over the shorter of the useful life of the capital asset or the term of the related lease.
Early lease termination fees are recorded in rental income on a straight-line basis from the notification date of such termination to the then remaining (not the original) lease term, if any, or upon collection if collection is not reasonably assured.
We evaluate cash basis versus accrual basis of rental income recognition based on the collectability of future lease payments.
Results of Operations
The following discussion of the results of our same store (as defined below) net operating income (“NOI”) should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included in this report. For a detailed discussion of NOI, including the reasons management believes NOI is useful to investors, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. Same store results are useful to investors in evaluating our performance because they provide information relating to changes in building-level operating performance without taking into account the effects of acquisitions or dispositions. We encourage the reader to not only look at our same store results, but also our total portfolio results, due to historic and future growth.
We define same store properties as properties that were in the Operating Portfolio for the entirety of the comparative periods presented. The results for same store properties exclude termination fees, solar income, and other income adjustments. Same store properties exclude Operating Portfolio properties with expansions placed into service after January 1, 2023. On December 31, 2024, we owned 535 industrial buildings consisting of approximately 106.4 million square feet, which represents approximately 91.3% of our total portfolio, that are considered our same store portfolio in the analysis below.

Net Income
Net income for our total portfolio decreased by approximately $3.9 million or 2.0% to approximately $193.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to approximately $197.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Same Store Total Operating Revenue
Same store total operating revenue consists primarily of rental income consisting of (i) fixed lease payments, variable lease payments, straight-line rental income, and above and below market lease amortization from our properties (“lease income”), and (ii) other tenant billings for insurance, real estate taxes and certain other expenses (“other billings”).
For a detailed reconciliation of our same store total operating revenue to net income, see the table above.
Same store rental income, which is comprised of lease income and other billings as discussed below, increased by approximately $30.2 million or 4.5% to approximately $701.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to approximately $670.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Same store lease income increased approximately $22.0 million or 4.0% to approximately $568.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to approximately $546.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in rental income of approximately $31.1 million from the execution of new leases and lease renewals with existing tenants. This increase was partially offset by the reduction of base rent of approximately $5.3 million due to tenant vacancies, and a net increase in the amortization of net above market leases of approximately $0.7 million. Additionally, there was a decrease in same store lease income of approximately $3.1 million which was primarily attributable to management’s evaluation of operating leases to determine the probability of collecting substantially all of the lessee’s remaining lease payments under the lease term. For those leases that are not probable of collection, we convert to the cash basis of accounting. During the year ended December 31, 2024, management determined certain leases should be converted from the accrual basis of accounting to the cash basis of accounting, which accounts for an approximately $1.3 million decrease during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. Additionally, management converted certain leases from the cash basis of accounting back to the accrual basis of accounting during the year ended December 31, 2023, for which approximately $1.8 million of straight-line accrued rental balance was reinstated.
Same store other billings increased approximately $8.2 million or 6.6% to approximately $132.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to approximately $124.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was attributable to an increase of approximately $5.3 million in other expense reimbursements which was primarily due to an increase in corresponding expenses. The increase was also attributable to an increase of approximately $2.9 million of real estate tax reimbursements due to an increase in real estate taxes levied by the taxing authority for certain tenants for which we pay the real estate taxes on their behalf, changes to lease terms where we began paying the real estate taxes on behalf of tenants that had previously paid the taxes directly to the taxing authorities, and occupancy of previously vacant buildings.
Same Store Operating Expenses
Same store operating expenses consists primarily of property operating expenses and real estate taxes and insurance.
For a detailed reconciliation of our same store portfolio operating expenses to net income, see the table above.
Total same store operating expenses increased approximately $6.7 million or 5.0% to approximately $140.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to approximately $133.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was due to increases in real estate tax, other, insurance, repairs and maintenance, and snow removal expenses of approximately $3.4 million, $1.3 million, $0.9 million, $0.7 million, and $0.7 million, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a reduction of utilities expense of approximately $0.3 million.
Acquisitions and Dispositions Net Operating Income
For a detailed reconciliation of our acquisitions and dispositions NOI to net income, see the table above.
Subsequent to January 1, 2023, we acquired 39 buildings consisting of approximately 6.7 million square feet (excluding nine buildings that were included in the Value Add Portfolio at December 31, 2024 or transferred from the Value Add Portfolio to the Operating Portfolio after January 1, 2023), and sold 20 buildings consisting of approximately 3.7 million square feet. For
45
the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the buildings acquired after January 1, 2023 contributed approximately $27.1 million and $3.2 million to NOI, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the buildings sold after January 1, 2023 contributed approximately $0.4 million and $11.5 million to NOI, respectively. Refer to Note 3 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion regarding buildings acquired or sold.
Other Net Operating Income
Our other assets include our Value Add Portfolio, buildings classified as held for sale, and Operating Portfolio buildings with expansions placed in service or transferred from the Value Add Portfolio to the Operating Portfolio after January 1, 2023. Other NOI also includes termination, solar, and other income adjustments from buildings in our same store portfolio.
For a detailed reconciliation of our other NOI to net income, see the table above.
These buildings contributed approximately $18.7 million and $12.2 million to NOI for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Additionally, there was approximately $5.3 million and $3.8 million of termination, solar, and other income adjustments from certain buildings in our same store portfolio for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Total Other Expenses
Total other expenses consist of general and administrative, depreciation and amortization, loss on impairment, and other expenses.
Total other expenses increased approximately $18.9 million or 5.7% for the year ended December 31, 2024 to approximately $349.6 million compared to approximately $330.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in depreciation and amortization of approximately $14.6 million due to an increase in the depreciable asset base from net acquisitions after December 31, 2023. Additionally, a loss on impairment of approximately $5.0 million was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024, as discussed in Note 3 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, that did not occur during the year ended December 31, 2023. Additionally, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $1.7 million primarily due to increases in compensation and other payroll costs. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in other expenses of approximately $2.4 million, which was primarily attributed to the relinquishment of an acquisition deposit of approximately $2.5 million related to the termination of an acquisition contract during the year ended December 31, 2023 that did not recur during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Total Other Income (Expense)
Total other income (expense) consists of interest and other income, interest expense, debt extinguishment and modification expenses, gain on involuntary conversion, and gain on the sales of rental property, net. Interest expense includes interest incurred during the period as well as adjustments related to amortization of financing fees and debt issuance costs, and amortization of fair market value adjustments associated with the assumption of debt.
Total other expense increased approximately $29.3 million or 72.5% to approximately $69.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to approximately $40.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily a result of a decrease in the gain on the sales of rental property, net of approximately $21.8 million. This increase was also attributable to an increase in interest expense of approximately $18.6 million which was primarily attributable to the issuance of $450.0 million of unsecured notes on May 28, 2024, as discussed in Note 4 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. This increase was also attributable to an increase in debt extinguishment and modification expenses of approximately $0.7 million related to the unsecured term loan amendment and the 2024 Credit Agreement (as defined below) amendment during the year ended December 31, 2024, as discussed in Note 4 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. These increases were partially offset by an increase in gain on involuntary conversion of approximately $11.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, as discussed in Note 3 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, that did not occur during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this report, we disclose funds from operations (“FFO”) and NOI, which meet the definition of “non-GAAP financial measures” as set forth in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. As a result, we are required to include in this report a statement of why management believes that presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors.
Funds From Operations
FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance, and we believe that to understand our performance further, FFO should be compared with our reported net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements included in this report.
We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”). FFO represents GAAP net income (loss), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating buildings, impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and fair market value of debt adjustment) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because it is a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs. FFO may be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs.
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our buildings that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our buildings, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. In addition, other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.
The following table summarizes a reconciliation of our FFO attributable to common stockholders and unit holders for the periods presented to net income, the nearest GAAP equivalent.

Net Operating Income
We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure to net income (loss) because we believe it helps investors and management understand the core operations of our buildings. NOI is defined as rental income, which includes billings for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, less property expenses, real estate tax expense and insurance expense. NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it excludes 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.

Cash Flows
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2024 to the year ended December 31, 2023

Net cash provided by operating activities increased approximately $69.2 million to approximately $460.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to approximately $391.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to incremental operating cash flows from property acquisitions completed after December 31, 2023, and operating performance at existing properties. These increases were partially offset by the loss of cash flows from property dispositions completed after December 31, 2023 and fluctuations in working capital due to timing of payments and rental receipts.
Net cash used in investing activities increased approximately $410.7 million to approximately $731.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to approximately $320.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition rental property during the year ended December 31, 2024 of approximately $706.6 million, compared to the acquisition of rental property during the year ended December 31, 2023 of approximately $321.9 million. Additionally, there was an increase in cash paid for additions of land and building and improvements related to development and other capital expenditures of approximately $42.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. These increases were partially offset by an increase in proceeds from sales of rental property, net of approximately $20.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities increased approximately $362.0 million to approximately $286.3 million net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to approximately $75.7 million net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to the issuance of $450.0 million of unsecured notes on May 28, 2024, as discussed in Note 4 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally there was an increase of approximately $97.8 million in proceeds from sales of common stock, net during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was also attributable to the redemption of $100.0 million of unsecured notes on January 5, 2023 compared to the redemption of $50.0 million of unsecured notes on October 1, 2024. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in net borrowings of approximately $220.0 million under our unsecured credit facility and an increase of approximately $7.4 million in dividends and distributions paid during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. Additionally, there was an increase of approximately $12.2 million in payments of loan fees and costs during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, which was primarily attributable to the 2024 Credit Agreement (as
48
defined below) that was entered into on September 10, 2024, as discussed in Note 4 to the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that our liquidity needs will be satisfied through cash flows generated by operations, disposition proceeds, and financing activities. Operating cash flow from rental income, expense recoveries from tenants, and other income from operations are our principal sources of funds to pay operating expenses, debt service, recurring capital expenditures, and the distributions required to maintain our REIT qualification. We primarily rely on the capital markets (equity and debt securities and bank borrowings) to fund our acquisition activity. We seek to increase cash flows from our properties by maintaining quality building standards that promote high occupancy rates and permit increases in rental rates, while reducing tenant turnover and controlling operating expenses. We believe that our revenue, together with proceeds from building sales and equity and debt financings, will continue to provide funds for our short-term and medium-term liquidity needs.
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our buildings, including interest expense, interest rate swap payments, scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, property acquisitions under contract, general and administrative expenses, and capital expenditures including development projects, tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
Our long-term liquidity needs, in addition to recurring short-term liquidity needs as discussed above, consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for property acquisitions and scheduled debt maturities. We intend to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through cash flow from operations, the issuance of equity or debt securities, other borrowings, property dispositions, or, in connection with acquisitions of certain additional buildings, the issuance of common units in our Operating Partnership.
As of December 31, 2024, we had total immediate liquidity of approximately $623.1 million, comprised of approximately $36.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $586.8 million of immediate availability on our unsecured credit facility.
In addition, we require funds to pay dividends to holders of our common stock and common units in our Operating Partnership. Any future dividends on our common stock are declared in the sole discretion of our board of directors, subject to the distribution requirements to maintain our REIT status for federal income tax purposes, and may be reduced or stopped for any reason, including to use funds for other liquidity requirements.

(1)Interest rate as of December 31, 2024. At December 31, 2024, the one-month Term SOFR was 4.33249%. The current interest rate is not adjusted to include the amortization of deferred financing fees or debt issuance costs incurred in obtaining debt or any unamortized fair market value premiums or discounts. The spread over the applicable rate for our unsecured credit facility and unsecured term loans is based on our debt rating and leverage ratio, as defined in the respective loan agreements.
(2)Our unsecured credit facility has a stated interest rate of one-month Term SOFR plus a 0.10% adjustment and a spread of 0.775%. Our unsecured term loans have a stated interest rate of one-month Term SOFR plus a 0.10% adjustment and a spread of 0.85%. As of December 31, 2024, one-month Term SOFR for the Unsecured Term Loans A, F, G, H, and I was swapped to a fixed rate of 1.31%, 2.11%, 0.95%, 2.50%, and 2.66%, respectively (which includes the 0.10% adjustment). The Unsecured Term Loan F provides for the election of Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Daily SOFR”), and effective January 15, 2025, Daily SOFR was swapped to a fixed rate of 3.98%.
(3)Prepayment terms consist of (i) pre-payable with no penalty; and (ii) pre-payable with penalty.
(4)The capacity of our unsecured credit facility is $1.0 billion. The initial maturity date is September 8, 2028, or such later date which may be extended pursuant to two six-month extension options exercisable by us in our discretion upon advance written notice. Exercise of each six-month option is subject to the following conditions: (i) absence of a default immediately before the extension and immediately after giving effect to the extension, (ii) accuracy of representations and warranties as of the extension date (both immediately before and after the extension), as if made on the extension date, and (iii) payment of a fee. Neither extension option is subject to lender consent, assuming proper notice and satisfaction of the conditions. We are required to pay a facility fee on the aggregate commitment amount (currently $1.0 billion) at a rate per annum of 0.1% to 0.3%, depending on our debt rating, as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement (as defined below). The facility fee is due and payable quarterly.
(5)The initial maturity date of the Unsecured Term Loan F is March 25, 2027, or such later date which may be extended pursuant to two one-year extension options exercisable by us in our discretion upon advance written notice. Exercise of each one-year option is subject to the following conditions: (i)

absence of a default immediately before the extension and immediately after giving effect to the extension; (ii) accuracy of representations and warranties as of the extension date (both immediately before and after the extension), as if made on the extension date; and (iii) payment of a fee. Neither extension option is subject to lender consent, assuming proper notice and satisfaction of the conditions.
(6)The weighted average interest rate was calculated using the fixed interest rate swapped on the notional amount of $1,025.0 million of debt and is not adjusted to include the amortization of deferred financing fees or debt issuance costs incurred in obtaining debt or any unamortized fair market value premiums or discounts.
The aggregate undrawn nominal commitments on our unsecured credit facility and unsecured term loans as of December 31, 2024 was approximately $586.8 million, including issued letters of credit. Our actual borrowing capacity at any given point in time may be less and is restricted to a maximum amount based on our debt covenant compliance.
On October 1, 2024, we redeemed in full at maturity the $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Series A Unsecured Notes with a fixed interest rate of 4.98%.
On September 10, 2024, we entered into the second amended and restated credit agreement for our unsecured credit facility (the “2024 Credit Agreement”) to, (i) extend the maturity date to September 8, 2028, or such later date which may be extended pursuant to two six-month extension options exercisable by us at our discretion, subject to certain conditions, including the payment of a fee, and (ii) provide that borrowings under our unsecured credit facility will, at our election, bear interest based on a Base Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR (each as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement), which interest rate will be increased by 0.10% for any SOFR Loan (as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement), plus an applicable spread based on our debt rating and leverage ratio (each as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement). Other than the increase in the borrowing commitments and the interest rate provisions described above, the material terms of our unsecured credit facility remain unchanged.
On June 29, 2024, the sustainability-related interest rate reduction of 0.02% on our unsecured credit facility and each of our unsecured term loans ended in accordance with the respective loan agreements.
On March 25, 2024, we entered into a second amended and restated term loan agreement for the Unsecured Term Loan F to (i) extend the maturity date to March 25, 2027, with two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions, that would extend the maturity date to March 23, 2029 if both exercised, and (ii) provide that borrowings under the Unsecured Term Loan F will, at our election, bear interest based on a Base Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR (each as defined in the loan agreement), which interest rate will be increased by 0.10% for any SOFR Loan (as defined in the loan agreement), plus an applicable spread based on our debt rating and leverage ratio (each as defined in the loan agreement), less a sustainability-related adjustment. Other than the maturity and interest rate provisions described above, the material terms remain unchanged.
On March 13, 2024, we entered into a note purchase agreement (the “March 2024 NPA”) for the private placement by the Operating Partnership of $175.0 million senior unsecured notes maturing May 28, 2029, with a fixed annual interest rate of 6.05%, $125.0 million senior unsecured notes maturing May 28, 2031, with a fixed annual interest rate of 6.17%, and $150.0 million senior unsecured notes maturing May 28, 2034, with a fixed annual interest rate of 6.30%. The March 2024 NPA contains a number of financial covenants substantially similar to the financial covenants contained in our unsecured credit facility and other unsecured notes, plus a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of not less than 1.50:1.00. The Company and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership are guarantors of the unsecured notes. On May 28, 2024, we issued all of the notes under the March 2024 NPA.
The following table summarizes our debt capital structure as of December 31, 2024.
| Debt Capital Structure | December 31, 2024 | |||||||
| Total principal outstanding (in thousands) | $ | 3,038,322 | ||||||
| Weighted average duration (years) | 4.5 | |||||||
| % Secured debt | 0.1 | % | ||||||
| % Debt maturing next 12 months | 5.8 | % | ||||||
Net Debt to Real Estate Cost Basis(1) | 38.0 | % | ||||||
(1)“Net Debt” means amounts outstanding under our unsecured credit facility, unsecured term loans, unsecured notes, and mortgage note, less cash and cash equivalents. “Real Estate Cost Basis” means the book value of rental property and deferred leasing intangibles, exclusive of the related accumulated depreciation and amortization.
We regularly pursue new financing opportunities to ensure an appropriate balance sheet position. As a result of these dedicated efforts, we are confident in our ability to meet future debt maturities and fund acquisitions. We believe that our current balance sheet is in an adequate position at the date of this filing, despite possible volatility in the credit markets.
51
Our interest rate exposure on our floating rate debt is managed through the use of interest rate swaps, which fix the rate of our long term floating rate debt. For a detailed discussion on our use of interest rate swaps, see “Interest Rate Risk” below.
Unsecured Indebtedness – Financial Covenants and Other Terms
The unsecured credit facility provides for a facility fee payable by us to the lenders at a rate per annum of 0.1% to 0.3%, depending on our debt rating, as defined in the credit agreement, of the aggregate commitments (currently $1.0 billion). The facility fee is due and payable quarterly.
Financial Covenants: Our ability to borrow, maintain borrowings and avoid default under our unsecured credit facility, unsecured term loans, and unsecured notes is subject to our ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, including:
•a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of not greater than 0.60:1.00;
•a maximum secured leverage ratio of not greater than 0.40:1.00;
•a maximum unencumbered leverage ratio of not greater than 0.60:1.00;
•a minimum fixed charge ratio of not less than or equal to 1.50:1.00;
•a minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio of not less than or equal to 1.75:1.00; and
•with respect to our unsecured notes, a minimum interest coverage ratio of not less than 1.50:1.00.
As of December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with the applicable financial covenants.
Pursuant to the terms of our unsecured debt agreements, we may not pay distributions that exceed the minimum amount required for us to qualify and maintain our status as a REIT if a default or event of default occurs and is continuing.
Pursuant to the terms of our unsecured loan agreements, if a default or event of default occurs and is continuing, we may not pay distributions that exceed the minimum amount required for us to qualify and maintain our status as a REIT.
Events of Default: Our unsecured credit facility and unsecured term loans contain customary events of default, including, but not limited to, non-payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, defaults in the compliance with the financial and other covenants contained in the applicable loan agreement, cross-defaults to other material debt, and bankruptcy or other insolvency events.
Borrower and Guarantors: Our Operating Partnership is the borrower under our unsecured credit facility and unsecured term loans and the issuer of the unsecured notes. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries guarantee the obligations under our unsecured loan agreements.
Supplemental Guarantor Information
We have filed a registration statement with the SEC allowing us to offer, from time to time, an indefinite amount of equity and debt securities on an as-needed basis, including debt securities of our Operating Partnership that are guaranteed by the Company. Any such guarantees issued by the Company will be full, irrevocable, unconditional, and absolute joint and several guarantees to the holders of each series of such outstanding guaranteed debt securities. Pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, subsidiary issuers of obligations guaranteed by the parent are not required to provide separate financial statements, provided that the subsidiary obligor is consolidated into the parent company’s consolidated financial statements, the parent guarantee is “full and unconditional” and, subject to certain exceptions as set forth below, the alternative disclosure required by Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X is provided, which includes narrative disclosure and summarized financial information. Accordingly, we have not presented separate consolidated financial statements of our Operating Partnership. Furthermore, as permitted under Rule 13-01(a)(4)(vi) of Regulation S-X, we have not presented summarized financial information for our Operating Partnership because the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of our Operating Partnership are not materially different than the corresponding amounts in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and we believe the inclusion of such summarized financial information would be repetitive and would not provide incremental value to investors.

Equity
Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Common Stock
We are authorized to issue up to 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share.
Pursuant to the equity distribution agreements for our ATM common stock offering program, we may from time to time sell common stock through sales agents and their affiliates, including shares sold on a forward basis under forward sale agreements. The following table summarizes our ATM common stock offering program as of December 31, 2024.

The following tables summarize the activity for shares sold on a forward basis (including under the ATM common stock offering program) and settled during the three months and year ended December 31, 2024. We initially do not receive any proceeds from the sales of shares on a forward basis. We may physically settle the applicable forward sale agreements on one or more dates prior to the respective scheduled maturity dates, at which point we would receive the proceeds net of certain costs; provided, however, we may elect to cash settle or net share settle such forward sale agreements at any time through the respective scheduled maturity dates.

Noncontrolling Interests
We own all of our properties and conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership. We are the sole member of the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2024, we owned approximately 98.0% of the common units in our Operating Partnership, and our current and former executive officers, directors, senior employees and their affiliates, and third parties that contributed properties to us in exchange for common units in our Operating Partnership owned the remaining 2.0%.
On December 13, 2024, we formed a joint venture with a third party that is primarily engaged in the development and eventual operation of two industrial real estate properties located in Concord, North Carolina. At December 31, 2024, we held a 90% interest and the third party held the remaining 10% interest in the joint venture.
On August 8, 2024, we formed a joint venture with a third party that is primarily engaged in the development and eventual operation of an industrial real estate property located in Reno, Nevada. At December 31, 2024, we held a 95% interest and the third party held the remaining 5% interest in the joint venture.
54
Interest Rate Risk
We use interest rate swaps to fix the rate of our variable rate debt. As of December 31, 2024, all of our outstanding variable rate debt, with the exception of our unsecured credit facility, was fixed with interest rate swaps through maturity.
We recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), which is a component of equity. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value and the changes in fair value must be reflected as income or expense.
We have established criteria for suitable counterparties in relation to various specific types of risk. We only use counterparties that have a credit rating of no lower than investment grade at swap inception from Moody’s Investor Services, Standard & Poor’s, Fitch Ratings, or other nationally recognized rating agencies.
The swaps are all designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, and all are valued as Level 2 financial instruments. Level 2 financial instruments are defined as significant other observable inputs. As of December 31, 2024, we had 21 interest rate swaps outstanding that were in an asset position of approximately $36.5 million, including any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we entered into four interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $200.0 million which fix Daily SOFR at 3.98% effective January 15, 2025 and mature on March 25, 2027.
As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately $1.4 billion of variable rate debt. As of December 31, 2024, all of our outstanding variable rate debt, with the exception of our unsecured credit facility, was fixed with interest rate swaps through maturity. To the extent interest rates increase, interest costs on our floating rate debt not fixed with interest rate swaps will increase, which could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to make distributions to our security holders. From time to time, we may enter into interest rate swap agreements and other interest rate hedging contracts, including swaps, caps and floors. In addition, an increase in interest rates could decrease the amounts third parties are willing to pay for our assets, thereby limiting our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2024, we had letters of credit related to development projects and certain other agreements of approximately $4.2 million. As of December 31, 2024, we had no other material off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. The primary market risk we are exposed to is interest rate risk. We have used derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings, primarily through interest rate swaps.
As of December 31, 2024, we had $1.4 billion of variable rate debt. As of December 31, 2024, all of our outstanding variable rate debt, with the exception of our unsecured credit facility which had a balance of $409.0 million, was fixed with interest rate swaps through maturity. To the extent we undertake additional variable rate indebtedness, if interest rates increase, then so will the interest costs on our unhedged variable rate debt, which could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to make distributions to our security holders. Further, rising interest rates could limit our ability to refinance existing debt when it matures or significantly increase our future interest expense. From time to time, we enter into interest rate swap agreements and other interest rate hedging contracts, including swaps, caps and floors. While these agreements are intended to lessen the impact of rising interest rates on us, they also expose us to the risk that the other parties to the agreements will not perform, we could incur significant costs associated with the settlement of the agreements, the agreements will be unenforceable and the underlying transactions will fail to qualify as highly-effective cash flow hedges under GAAP. In addition, an increase in interest rates could decrease the amounts third parties are willing to pay for our assets, thereby limiting our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, an increase in interest rates could decrease the amounts third parties are willing to pay for our assets, thereby limiting our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. If interest rates increased
55
by 100 basis points and assuming we had an outstanding balance of $409.0 million on our unsecured credit facility for the year ended December 31, 2024, our interest expense would have increased by approximately $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

STAG INDUSTRIAL, INC.
INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
F-1
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of STAG Industrial, Inc.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of STAG Industrial, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
F-2
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Purchase Price Accounting
As described in Notes 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed property acquisitions for total consideration of $710.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. Management allocates the purchase price of properties based upon the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which generally consist of land, buildings, tenant improvements, mortgage debt assumed, and deferred leasing intangibles, which includes in-place leases, above market and below market leases, and tenant relationships. The process for determining the allocation to these components requires estimates and assumptions, including rental rates, discount rates, exit capitalization rates, and land value per square foot.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to purchase price accounting is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of assets acquired and liabilities assumed; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to rental rates, discount rates, exit capitalization rates, and land value per square foot; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to purchase price accounting, including controls over management’s valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These procedures also included, among others, for a sample of acquisitions (i) reading the purchase agreements; (ii) testing management’s process for developing the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed; (iii) evaluating the appropriateness of the models used by management; (iv) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the models; and (v) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to rental rates, discount rates, exit capitalization rates, and land value per square foot. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to rental rates, discount rates, exit capitalization rates, and land value per square foot involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering consistency with external market data or comparable transactions. For certain acquisitions, professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the models used by management and (ii) the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to rental rates, discount rates, exit capitalization rates, and land value per square foot.

STAG Industrial, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Organization and Description of Business
STAG Industrial, Inc. (the “Company”) is an industrial real estate operating company focused on the acquisition and operation of industrial properties throughout the United States. The Company was formed as a Maryland corporation and has elected to be treated and intends to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”). The Company is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT, commonly called an UPREIT, and owns all of its properties and conducts substantially all of its business through its operating partnership, STAG Industrial Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company owned 98.0 % and 97.9 %, respectively, of the common units of the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As used herein, the “Company” refers to STAG Industrial, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership, except where context otherwise requires.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, and their consolidated subsidiaries. Interests in the Operating Partnership not owned by the Company are referred to as “Noncontrolling Common Units.” These Noncontrolling Common Units are held by other limited partners in the form of common units (“Other Common Units”) and long-term incentive plan units (“LTIP units”) issued pursuant to the STAG Industrial, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “2011 Plan”). All majority-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures over which the Company has a controlling financial interest are included in the consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation of entities. The financial statements of the Company are presented on a consolidated basis for all periods presented.
New Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires additional disclosures around significant segment expenses and disclosures to identify the title and position of the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). ASU 2023-07 was effective for the year ended December 31, 2024 and interim periods thereafter. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Rental Property and Deferred Leasing Intangibles
Rental property is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Significant renovations and betterments that extend the economic useful lives of assets are capitalized.
The Company capitalizes costs directly and indirectly related to the development, pre-development, redevelopment, or improvement of rental property. Real estate taxes, compensation costs of development personnel, insurance, interest, and other directly related costs during construction periods are capitalized as incurred, with depreciation commencing on the date the property is substantially completed. Such costs begin to be capitalized to the development projects from the point the Company is undergoing the necessary activities to get the development project ready for its intended use and cease when the development projects are substantially completed and held available for occupancy. Interest is capitalized based on actual capital
F-9
Using information available at the time of acquisition, the Company allocates the purchase price of properties acquired based upon the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which generally consist of land, buildings, tenant improvements, mortgage debt assumed, and deferred leasing intangibles, which includes in-place leases, above market and below market leases, and tenant relationships. The process for determining the allocation to these components requires estimates and assumptions, including rental rates, discount rates and exit capitalization rates, and land value per square foot, as well as available market information, and therefore involves subjective analysis and uncertainty. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. The portion of the purchase price that is allocated to above and below market leases is valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in-place rates measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease term plus the term of any bargain renewal options. The purchase price is further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and its overall relationship with the respective tenant.
The above and below market lease values are amortized into rental income over the remaining lease term. The value of in-place lease intangibles and tenant relationships are amortized over the remaining lease term (and expected renewal period of the respective lease for tenant relationships) as increases to depreciation and amortization expense. The remaining lease terms are adjusted for bargain renewal options or assumed exercises of early termination options, as applicable. If a tenant subsequently terminates its lease, any unamortized portion of above and below market leases is accelerated into rental income and the in-place lease value and tenant relationships are accelerated into depreciation and amortization expense over the shortened lease term.
The purchase price allocated to deferred leasing intangible assets are included in rental property, net on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the purchase price allocated to deferred leasing intangible liabilities are included in deferred leasing intangibles, net on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets under the liabilities section.
The Company evaluates the carrying value of all tangible and intangible rental property assets and deferred leasing intangible liabilities (collectively, the “property”) held for use for possible impairment when an event or change in circumstance has occurred that indicates their carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation includes estimating and reviewing anticipated future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from the property. If such cash flows are less than the property’s carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent by which the property’s carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. Estimating future cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding anticipated hold period, future occupancy, rental rates, capital requirements, and exit capitalization rates that could differ from actual results. The discount rate used to present value the cash flows for determining fair value is also subjective.
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives.
| Description | Estimated Useful Life | |||||||
| Building | ||||||||
| Building and land improvements (maximum) | ||||||||
| Tenant improvements | Shorter of useful life or terms of related lease | |||||||
F-10
$4.6 million, $71.1 million, $4.1 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024 and approximately $3.9 million, $63.0 million, $6.3 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Leases
For leases in which the Company is the lessee, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets equal to the present value of the fixed lease payments. In determining the operating right-of-use asset and lease liability for the Company’s operating leases, the Company estimates an appropriate incremental borrowing rate on a fully-collateralized basis for the terms of the leases. The Company utilizes a market-based approach to estimate the incremental borrowing rate for each individual lease. Additionally, since the terms of the Company’s ground leases are significantly longer than the terms of borrowings available to the Company on a fully-collateralized basis, the estimate of this rate requires significant judgment, and considers factors such as yields on outstanding public debt and other market based pricing on longer duration financing instruments.
Interest in Joint Ventures
The Company has equity interests in consolidated joint ventures that are primarily engaged in the development and eventual operation of industrial real estate properties. The Company evaluated the joint ventures under the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model of consolidation and determined that the joint ventures are not VIEs. Accordingly, the Company has determined to account for its investment in the joint ventures under the voting interest model of consolidation, as the Company has a majority voting interest and financial control. Control is determined using accounting standards related to the consolidation of joint ventures and VIEs. The evaluation of control includes a review of the entity’s governing documents and the Company’s rights and obligations. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in a joint venture, the Company considers various factors, including the percentage of voting interests owned, the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and the extent of the Company’s exposure to the entity’s returns. The Company also considers whether other parties hold substantive participating rights or protective rights that would preclude consolidation. The Company reevaluates its consolidation conclusions on an ongoing basis and upon occurrence of certain significant events under the accounting standards consolidation guidance.
The assets and liabilities of the consolidated joint ventures are included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the joint ventures’ results of operations are included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The joint venture partners’ share of the joint ventures is reflected as noncontrolling interest in joint ventures in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. See Note 7 for further discussion of the noncontrolling interest in joint ventures.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents in United States banking institutions that may exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. While the Company monitors the cash balances in its operating accounts, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in its operating accounts, and mitigates this risk by using nationally recognized banking institutions.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash may include tenant security deposits, cash held in escrow for real estate taxes and capital improvements as required by various mortgage note agreements, and cash held by the Company’s transfer agent for preferred stock dividends, if any, that are distributed subsequent to period end.

Deferred Costs
Deferred financing fees and debt issuance costs include costs incurred in obtaining debt that are capitalized and are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the associated debt liability that is not a line-of-credit arrangement on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred financing fees and debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements are presented as an asset in prepaid expenses and other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferred financing fees and debt issuance costs are amortized through interest expense over the life of the respective loans on a basis which approximates the effective interest method. Any unamortized amounts upon early repayment of debt are written off in the period of repayment as a loss on extinguishment of debt. Fully amortized deferred financing fees and debt issuance costs are written off upon maturity of the underlying debt.
Leasing commissions include commissions and other direct and incremental costs incurred to obtain new tenant leases as well as to renew existing tenant leases, and are presented in prepaid expenses and other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Leasing commissions are capitalized and amortized over the terms of the related leases (and bargain renewal terms or assumed exercise of early termination options) using the straight-line method. If a lease terminates prior to the expiration of its initial term, any unamortized costs related to the lease are accelerated into amortization expense. Changes in leasing commissions are presented in the cash flows from operating activities section of the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Goodwill
The excess of the cost of an acquired business over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired (including identified intangible assets) and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill of the Company of approximately $4.9 million as of December 31, 2024 represents amounts allocated to the assembled workforce from the acquired management company, and is presented in prepaid expenses and other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s goodwill has an indeterminate life and is not amortized, but is tested for impairment on an annual basis at December 31, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company takes a qualitative approach to consider whether an impairment of goodwill exists prior to quantitatively determining the fair value of the reporting unit in step one of the impairment test. The Company has recorded no impairments to goodwill through December 31, 2024.
Use of Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company records all derivatives on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting, and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.
In accordance with fair value measurement guidance, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting arrangements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio. Credit risk is the risk of failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the contract. The Company minimizes the credit risk in its derivative financial instruments by entering into transactions with various high-quality
F-12
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant accounts receivable, interest rate swaps, accounts payable, accrued expenses, unsecured credit facility, unsecured term loans, unsecured notes, and mortgage note. See Note 4 for the fair value of the Company’s indebtedness. See Note 5 for the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps. All other financial instruments noted are recorded at carrying value, which equates to their fair value.
Offering Costs
Underwriting commissions and direct offering costs have been reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Equity. Indirect costs associated with equity offerings are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The December 2024 monthly common stock dividend of $0.123333 per share will be included in the stockholder’s 2025 tax year.
Revenue Recognition
All current leases are classified as operating leases and rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease (and expected bargain renewal terms or assumed exercise of early termination options) when collectability is reasonably assured. Differences between rental income earned and amounts due under the lease are charged or credited, as applicable, to accrued rental income.
The Company determined that for all leases where the Company is the lessor, that the timing and pattern of transfer of the non-lease components and associated lease components are the same, and that the lease components, if accounted for separately,
F-13
would be classified as an operating lease. Accordingly, the Company has made an accounting policy election to recognize the combined component in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 as rental income on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Rental income recognition commences when the tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased space and the leased space is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. In order to determine whether the leased space is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, the Company determines whether the Company or the tenant own the tenant improvements. When it is determined that the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, rental income recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the finished space, which is generally when the Company owned tenant improvements are completed. In instances when it is determined that the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements, rental income recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased space.
The Company evaluates its operating leases to determine if it is probable it will collect substantially all of the lessee’s remaining lease payments under the lease term. For those that are not probable of collection, the Company converts to the cash basis of accounting. If the Company subsequently determines that it is probable it will collect substantially all of the lessee’s remaining lease payments under the lease term, the Company will reinstate the accrued rent balance adjusting for the amount related to the period when the lease was accounted for on a cash basis.
When the Company is the owner of tenant improvements or other capital items, the cost to construct the tenant improvements or other capital items, including costs paid for or reimbursed by the tenants, is recorded as capital assets. For these tenant improvements or other capital items, the costs funded by or reimbursed by the tenants are recorded as deferred revenue, which is amortized on a straight-line basis as income over the shorter of the useful life of the capital asset or the term of the related lease.
Early lease termination fees are recorded in rental income on a straight-line basis from the notification date of such termination to the then remaining (not the original) lease term, if any, or upon collection if collection is not reasonably assured.

Incentive and Equity-Based Employee Compensation Plans
The Company grants equity-based compensation awards to its employees and directors in the form of restricted shares of common stock, LTIP units, and performance units. See Notes 6, 7 and 8 for further discussion of restricted shares of common stock, LTIP units, and performance units, respectively. The Company measures equity-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date and recognizes the expense ratably over the vesting period, and forfeitures are recognized in the period in which they occur.
The Company provides supplemental retirement benefits for eligible employees. For those employees who are retirement eligible or will become retirement eligible during the applicable vesting period, the Company accelerates equity-based compensation through the employee’s six-month retirement notification period or retirement eligibility date, respectively.

Taxes
Federal Income Taxes
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2011 and intends to continue to qualify as a REIT. As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to corporate level federal income tax on the earnings distributed currently to its stockholders that it derives from its REIT qualifying activities. As a REIT, the
F-14
Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code relating to such matters as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership.
The Company will not be required to make distributions with respect to income derived from the activities conducted through subsidiaries that the Company elects to treat as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) for federal income tax purposes, nor will it have to comply with income, assets, or ownership restrictions inside of the TRS. Certain activities that the Company undertakes must or should be conducted by a TRS, such as performing non-customary services for its tenants and holding assets that it cannot hold directly. A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes. The Company’s TRS recognized a net income of approximately $0 , $0 and $0.1 million, for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which has been included on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
State and Local Income, Excise, and Franchise Tax
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to certain state and local income, excise and franchise taxes. Taxes in the amount of approximately $2.0 million, $2.0 million and $2.1 million have been recorded in other expenses on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Uncertain Tax Positions
Tax benefits of uncertain tax positions are recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained based solely on its technical merits, with the taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. The measurement of a tax benefit for an uncertain tax position that meets the “more likely than not” threshold is based on a cumulative probability model under which the largest amount of tax benefit recognized is the amount with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority having full knowledge of all the relevant information. As of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, there were no

Segment Reporting
The Company manages its operations on an aggregated, single segment basis for purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions and, accordingly, has only one
The CODM of the Company, which is its Chief Executive Officer, assesses performance of the segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income that is reported on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The CODM also assesses the performance of the segment based on funds from operations (“FFO”) and net operating income (“NOI”). FFO is calculated in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. FFO represents GAAP net income (loss), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating buildings, impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and fair market value of debt adjustment) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. NOI is defined as rental income, which includes billings for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, less property expenses, real estate tax expense and insurance expense.
F-15
The CODM uses net income, FFO, and NOI in the annual budgeting and quarterly reforecasting process and considers the quarterly reforecasting results to evaluate the performance of the segment and make decisions about allocating resources back into the segment, or into other parts of the Company.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk relevant to the Company may arise when a number of financing arrangements, including revolving credit facilities or derivatives, are entered into with the same lenders or counterparties, and have similar economic features that would cause their inability to meet contractual obligations. The Company mitigates the concentration of credit risk as it relates to financing arrangements by entering into loan syndications with multiple, reputable financial institutions and diversifying its debt counterparties. The Company also reduces exposure by diversifying its derivatives across multiple counterparties who meet established credit and capital guidelines.

2024 Debt Activity
On October 1, 2024, the Company redeemed in full at maturity the $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Series A Unsecured Notes with a fixed interest rate of 4.98%.
On September 10, 2024, the Company entered into the second amended and restated credit agreement for the unsecured credit facility (the “2024 Credit Agreement”) to (i) extend the maturity date to September 8, 2028, or such later date which may be extended pursuant to two six-month extension options exercisable by the Company in its discretion, subject to certain conditions, including the payment of a fee, and (ii) provide that borrowings under the unsecured credit facility will, at the Company’s election, bear interest based on a Base Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR (each as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement), which interest rate will be increased by 0.10 % for any SOFR Loan (as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement), plus an applicable spread based on the Company’s debt rating and leverage ratio (each as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement). Other than the increase in the borrowing commitments and the interest rate provisions described above, the material terms of the unsecured credit facility remain unchanged.
In connection with the 2024 Credit Agreement, the Company incurred approximately $8.9 million in costs, which have been deferred and will amortize through the maturity date of September 8, 2028. The previous unamortized fees related to the unsecured credit facility have been extended to amortize through the new maturity date of September 8, 2028. Additionally, the Company incurred approximately $36 thousand of modification expenses, which were recognized in debt extinguishment and modification expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On June 29, 2024, the sustainability-related interest rate reduction of 0.02 % on the Company’s unsecured credit facility and each of the unsecured term loans ended in accordance with the respective loan agreements.
On March 25, 2024, the Company entered into a second amended and restated term loan agreement for the Unsecured Term Loan F to (i) extend the maturity date to March 25, 2027, with two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions
F-21
(discussed below), that would extend the maturity date to March 23, 2029 if both exercised, and (ii) provide that borrowings under the Unsecured Term Loan F will, at the Company’s election, bear interest based on a Base Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR (each as defined in the loan agreement), which interest rate will be increased by 0.10 % for any SOFR Loan (as defined in the loan agreement), plus an applicable spread based on the Company’s debt rating and leverage ratio (each as defined in the loan agreement), less a sustainability-related adjustment. Other than the maturity and interest rate provisions described above, the material terms remain unchanged.
The Unsecured Term Loan F’s initial maturity date is March 25, 2027, or such later date which may be extended pursuant to two one-year extension options exercisable by the Company in its discretion upon advance written notice. Exercise of each one-year option is subject to the following conditions: (i) absence of a default immediately before the extension and immediately after giving effect to the extension; (ii) accuracy of representations and warranties as of the extension date (both immediately before and after the extension), as if made on the extension date; and (iii) payment of a fee equal to 0.125 % of the outstanding amount on the effective day of each extension period. Neither extension option is subject to lender consent, assuming proper notice and satisfaction of the conditions. Upon execution of the amended loan agreement for the Unsecured Term Loan F, the Company intended to exercise both extension options. In connection with the amended loan agreement, the Company incurred approximately $1.2 million in costs, which have been deferred, including approximately $0.5 million of accrued extension fees, and will amortize through the extended maturity date of March 23, 2029. The Company also incurred approximately $0.7 million of modification expenses which were recognized in debt extinguishment and modification expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On March 13, 2024, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement (the “March 2024 NPA”) for the private placement by the Operating Partnership of $175.0 million senior unsecured notes maturing May 28, 2029, with a fixed annual interest rate of 6.05 %, $125.0 million senior unsecured notes maturing May 28, 2031, with a fixed annual interest rate of 6.17 %, and $150.0 million senior unsecured notes maturing May 28, 2034, with a fixed annual interest rate of 6.30 %. The March 2024 NPA contains a number of financial covenants substantially similar to the financial covenants contained in the Company’s unsecured credit facility and other unsecured notes, plus a financial covenant that requires the Company to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of not less than 1.50 :1.00. The Company and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership are guarantors of the unsecured notes. On May 28, 2024, the Operating Partnership issued all of the notes under the March 2024 NPA.
2023 Debt Activity
On December 15, 2023, the mortgage note associated with Thrivent Financial for Lutherans in the amount of approximately $3.2 million was repaid in full.
On January 19, 2023, the sustainability-related interest rate adjustment for the Unsecured Term Loan H and Unsecured Term Loan I went into effect in connection with the Company's 2022 public disclosure assessment score of “A” from the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark. The interest rate adjustment, a 0.02 % interest rate reduction for each instrument, will end on June 29, 2024, in accordance with the respective loan agreements.
On January 5, 2023, the Company redeemed in full at maturity the $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Series F Unsecured Notes with a fixed interest rate of 3.98%.
Financial Covenant Considerations
The Company’s ability to borrow under the unsecured credit facility, unsecured term loans, and unsecured notes are subject to its ongoing compliance with a number of customary financial covenants, including:
•a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of not greater than 0.60 :1.00;

5. Derivative Financial Instruments
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company’s use of derivative instruments is limited to the utilization of interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk exposure on existing and future liabilities and not for speculative purposes. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and related costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company entered into four interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $200.0 million which fix Daily SOFR at 3.98 % effective January 15, 2025 and mature on March 25, 2027, and were designated as cash flow hedges.
F-23
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had 21 interest rate swaps outstanding, all of which are used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with unsecured loans. All of the Company’s interest rate swaps convert the related loans’ Term SOFR or Daily SOFR components, as applicable, to effectively fixed interest rates, and the Company has concluded that each of the hedging relationships are highly effective. The following table summarizes the fair value of the interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
| Balance Sheet Line Item (in thousands) | Effective Notional Amount December 31, 2024 | Fair Value December 31, 2024 | Effective Notional Amount December 31, 2023 | Fair Value December 31, 2023 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Interest rate swaps-Asset | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate swaps are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. The Company uses interest rate swaps to fix the rate of its long term variable rate debt. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable 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.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified to interest expense in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives designated as qualifying cash flow hedges will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. The Company estimates that approximately $20.5 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income as a decrease to interest expense over the next 12 months.
The following table summarizes the effect of cash flow hedge accounting and the location of the amounts related to the Company’s derivatives in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

| Total interest expense presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in which the effects of cash flow hedges are recorded | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||
Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company’s default on the indebtedness.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had not breached the provisions of these agreements and had not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value.
Fair Value of Interest Rate Swaps
The Company’s valuation of the interest rate swaps is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs including interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined by using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative
F-24
contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company or its counterparties. However, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company adjusts the carrying value of noncontrolling interest to reflect its share of the book value of the Operating Partnership when there has been a change in the Company’s ownership of the Operating Partnership. Such adjustments are recorded to additional paid-in capital as a rebalancing of noncontrolling interest on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Equity.
LTIP Units
LTIP units are granted to certain executive officers and senior employees of the Company as part of their compensation, and to independent directors for their service. LTIP units are valued by reference to the value of the Company’s common stock and are subject to such conditions and restrictions as the compensation committee of the board of directors may determine, including continued employment or service. Vested LTIP units can be converted to Other Common Units on a one -for-one basis once an equity transaction has occurred that results in the accretion of the member’s capital account to the economic equivalent of an Other Common Unit. All LTIP units, whether vested or not, will receive the same monthly per unit distributions as Other Common Units, which equal per share dividends on common stock.
LTIP units granted in January 2024, 2023, and 2022 to certain senior executive officers and senior employees, subject to the recipient’s continued employment, will vest quarterly over four years
On July 1, 2024, the Company’s board of directors appointed Vicki Lundy Wilbon to serve as director of the Company. The Company granted LTIP units under the 2011 Plan to Ms. Wilbon on July 1, 2024, which, subject to Ms. Wilbon’s continued service, will vest on January 1, 2025.
On March 13, 2023, the Company executed an employment agreement with Steven T. Kimball to serve as the Company's Executive Vice President of Real Estate Operations, effective March 31, 2023. On March 31, 2023, pursuant to the 2011 Plan, the Company awarded Mr. Kimball an initial LTIP unit grant equal in value to approximately $0.6 million, which equated to 19,345 LTIP units, which will vest in equal installments on a quarterly basis over four years , with the first vesting date having been March 31, 2023, subject to Mr. Kimball’s continued employment.
Refer to Note 8 for a discussion of the LTIP units granted in January 2025, 2024, and 2023, pursuant to the 2022, 2021, and 2020 performance units, respectively.
The fair value of the LTIP units at the date of grant was determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of the LTIP units is based on Level 3 inputs and is a non-recurring fair value measurement. The following table summarizes the assumptions used in valuing such LTIP units granted during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 (excluding those LTIP units granted pursuant to the settlements of performance units; refer to Note 8 for details).

Other Common Units
Other Common Units and shares of the Company’s common stock have essentially the same economic characteristics in that Other Common Units directly, and shares of the Company’s common stock indirectly, through the Company’s interest in the Operating Partnership, share equally in the total net income or loss distributions of the Operating Partnership. Subject to certain restrictions, investors who own Other Common Units have the right to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem any or all of their Other Common Units for cash equal to the then-current value of one share of the Company’s common stock, or, at the Company’s election, shares of common stock on a one -for-one basis. When redeeming the Other Common Unit for cash, the value of a share of common stock is calculated as the average common stock closing price on the NYSE for the 10 days immediately preceding the redemption notice date. Each Other Common Unit receives the same monthly distribution as a share of common stock.

8. Equity Incentive Plan
The 2011 Plan provides for the issuance of equity-based awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock awards and other awards based on shares of the Company’s common stock, such as LTIP units in the Operating Partnership, that may be made by the Company directly to the executive officers, directors, employees, and other individuals providing bona fide services to or for the Company.
Subject to certain adjustments identified within the 2011 Plan, the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be awarded under the 2011 Plan is 10,142,461 shares. Under the 2011 Plan, each LTIP unit awarded will be equivalent to an award of one share of common stock reserved under the 2011 Plan, thereby reducing the number of shares of common stock available for other equity awards on a one -for-one basis.
The 2011 Plan may be terminated, amended, modified or suspended at any time by the board of directors, subject to stockholder approval as required by law or stock exchange rules. The 2011 Plan expires on April 24, 2033.
Under the 2011 Plan, the Company grants performance units to certain key employees of the Company. The ultimate value of the performance units depends on the Company’s total stockholder return (“TSR”) over a three-year period (the “measuring period”). At the end of the measuring period, the performance units convert into shares of common stock, or, at the Company’s election and with the award recipient’s consent, LTIP units or other securities (“Award Shares”), at a rate depending on the Company’s TSR over the measuring period as compared to various benchmarks and on the absolute amount of the Company’s TSR. A recipient of performance units may receive as few as zero shares or as many as 250 % of the number of target units, plus deemed dividends.
For the performance units granted in 2022, at the end of the measuring period the performance units convert into common stock or LTIP units at a rate depending on the Company’s TSR over the measuring period as compared to three different benchmarks and on the absolute amount of the Company’s TSR. The target amount of the performance units is nominally allocated as: (i) 25 % to the Company’s TSR compared to the TSR of an industry peer group; (ii) 25 % to the Company’s TSR compared to the TSR of a size-based peer group; and (iii) 50 % to the Company’s TSR compared to the TSR of the companies in the MSCI US REIT index.
For the performance units granted in 2024 and 2023, at the end of the measuring period the performance units convert into common stock or LTIP units at a rate depending on the Company’s TSR over the measuring period as compared to two different benchmarks and on the absolute amount of the Company’s TSR. The target amount of the performance units is nominally allocated as follows: (i) 50 % to the Company’s TSR compared to the TSR of an industry peer group; and (ii) 50 % to the Company’s TSR compared to the TSR of the companies in the MSCI US REIT Index.
No dividends are paid to the recipient during the measuring period. At the end of the measuring period, if the Company’s TSR is such that the recipient earns Award Shares, the recipient will receive additional Award Shares relating to dividends deemed to have been paid and reinvested on the Award Shares. The Company, in the discretion of the compensation committee of the board of directors, may pay the cash value of the deemed dividends instead of issuing additional Award Shares. The Award Shares are immediately vested at the end of the measuring period.
In January 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company granted performance units approved by the compensation committee of the board of directors, under the 2011 Plan to certain key employees of the Company. The measuring periods commenced on January 1, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively, and end on December 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively.
On March 31, 2023, in connection with the execution of the employment agreement discussed in Note 7, the Company granted Mr. Kimball performance units under the 2011 Plan with a target grant date fair value equal to approximately $0.6 million. The terms and measuring period of the performance units granted to Mr. Kimball are the same as the performance units granted in January 2023.
F-30
The fair value of the performance units as of the grant date was determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of the performance units is based on Level 3 inputs and non-recurring fair value measurements. The performance unit equity compensation expense is recognized ratably from the grant date into earnings over the respective vesting periods. The following table summarizes the assumptions used in valuing the performance units granted during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

| Risk-free interest rate | % | % | % | % | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fair value of performance units grant (in thousands) | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||
The expected stock price volatility is based on a mix of the historical and implied volatilities of the Company and certain peer group companies. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s average historical dividend yield and the dividend yield as of the valuation date for each award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury note yields matching the three-year time period of the performance period.
During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, it was determined that the Company’s total stockholder return exceeded the threshold percentage and return hurdle for each of the 2022, 2021, and 2020 performance units, respectively. The following table summarizes the compensation committee of the board of directors approved issuances of LTIP units and shares of common stock for the conclusion of the measuring periods for performance units for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.

The unrecognized compensation expense associated with the Company’s performance units at December 31, 2024 was approximately $6.0 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.7 years.
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2011 Plan were 3,603,642 and 4,226,328 , respectively. The number of shares available for issuance under the 2011 Plan as of December 31, 2024 do not include an allocation for the 2024 and 2023 performance units as the awards were not determinable as of December 31, 2024. The number of shares available for issuance under the 2011 Plan as of December 31, 2023 do not include an allocation for the 2023 and 2022 performance units as the awards were not determinable as of December 31, 2023.

9. Leases
Lessor Leases
The Company has operating leases in which it is the lessor for its rental property. Certain leases contain variable lease payments based upon changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). Billings for real estate taxes and other expenses are also considered to be variable lease payments. Certain leases contain options to renew or terminate the lease, and options for the lessee to purchase the rental property, all of which are predominately at the sole discretion of the lessee.

10. Earnings Per Share
Under the two-class method of computing earnings per share, restricted shares of common stock are considered participating securities as these stock-based awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, unless and until a forfeiture occurs, and these awards must be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, there were 122,454 , 142,875 and 161,704 , respectively, unvested shares of restricted stock on a weighted average basis that were considered participating securities. Participating securities are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share using the treasury stock method if the impact is more dilutive than the two-class method. Other potentially dilutive shares of common stock from the Company’s performance units and forward sales agreements are considered when calculating diluted earnings per share.

11. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance subject to deductible requirements. Management believes that the ultimate settlement of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
The Company has letters of credit of approximately $4.2 million as of December 31, 2024 related to construction projects and certain other agreements.
12. Employee Benefit Plans
Effective April 20, 2011, the Company adopted a 401(k) Defined Contribution Savings Plan (the “Plan”) for its employees. Under the Plan, as amended, employees, as defined, are eligible to participate in the Plan after they have completed three months of service. The Company provides a discretionary match of 50 % of the employee’s contributions annually up to 6.0 % of the employee’s annual compensation, subject to a cap imposed by federal tax law. The Company’s aggregate matching contribution for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $0.6 million, $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The Company’s contribution is subject to vest over three years , such that employees who have been with the Company for three years are fully vested in past and future contributions.
13. Subsequent Events
The Company identified the following events subsequent to December 31, 2024 that are not recognized in the financial statements.
On January 7, 2025, the Company granted 52,352 restricted shares of common stock to certain employees of the Company pursuant to the 2011 Plan. The restricted shares of common stock granted will vest over four years in equal installments on January 1 of each year beginning January 1, 2026. The fair value of the restricted shares of common stock at the date of grant was $33.14 per share.
On January 7, 2025, the Company granted 38,120 LTIP units to non-employee, independent directors and 115,881 LTIP units to certain executive officers and senior employees pursuant to the 2011 Plan. The LTIP units granted to non-employee, independent directors will vest in equal quarterly installments over one year, with the first vesting date being March 31, 2025. The LTIP units granted to certain executive officers and senior employees will vest in equal quarterly installments over four years , with the first vesting date being March 31, 2025. The aggregate fair value of the LTIP units at the date of grant was approximately $4.8 million, as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation using an expected term of 10 years, a weighted average volatility factor of 25.0 %, a weighted average expected dividend yield of 4.0 %, and a weighted average risk-free interest rate of 4.33 %. The fair value of the LTIP units is based on Level 3 inputs and is a non-recurring fair value measurement.
F-34
On January 7, 2025, the Company granted performance units to certain executive officers and senior employees pursuant to the 2011 Plan. The terms of the January 7, 2025 performance units are substantially the same as the 2024 performance units discussed in Note 8, except that the measuring period commenced on January 1, 2025 and ends on December 31, 2027. The aggregate fair value of the performance units at the date of grant was approximately $6.9 million, as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation using a weighted average volatility factor of 24.6 %, a weighted average expected dividend yield of 4.0 %, and a weighted average risk-free interest rate of 4.3294 %. The fair value of the performance units is based on Level 3 inputs and is a non-recurring fair value measurement.
