Organization

Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. is a self-administered and self-managed full-service real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on owning and operating industrial properties in Southern California infill markets. We were formed as a Maryland corporation on January 18, 2013 and Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), of which we are the sole general partner, was formed as a Maryland limited partnership on January 18, 2013. Through our controlling interest in our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, we own, manage, lease, acquire and develop industrial real estate located in Southern California infill markets.  As of September 30, 2015, our consolidated portfolio consisted of 113 properties with approximately 11.1 million rentable square feet.  We also own a 15% interest in a joint venture that owns one property with approximately 0.5 million square feet, which we also manage.   In addition, we currently manage an additional 19 properties with approximately 1.2 million rentable square feet.  

The terms “us,” “we,” “our,” and the “Company” as used in these financial statements refer to Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. and its subsidiaries (including our Operating Partnership).

Basis of Presentation

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the financial statements presented are the consolidated financial statements of Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including our Operating Partnership. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make their presentation not misleading. The accompanying unaudited financial statements include, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth therein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the combined and consolidated financial statements in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, and the notes thereto. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. Any references to the number of properties and square footage are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements in accordance with the standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  

We consolidate all entities that are wholly owned and those in which we own less than 100% but control, as well as any variable interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiary. We evaluate our ability to control an entity and whether the entity is a variable interest entity and we are the primary beneficiary through consideration of the substantive terms of the arrangement to identify which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impacts the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. Investments in entities in which we do not control but over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are presented under the equity method. Investments in entities that we do not control and over which we do not exercise significant influence are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, as appropriate. Our ability to correctly assess our influence and/or control over an entity affects the presentation of these investments in our consolidated financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Discontinued Operations

On April 14, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”).  Under ASU 2014-08, only disposals that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity’s results and operations would qualify as discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 further expands the disclosure requirements for disposals that meet the definition of a discontinued operation, and requires entities to disclose information about disposals of individually significant components.  We elected to adopt ASU 2014-08 early, beginning in the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014.  The adoption of ASU 2014-08 has and will likely result in fewer property sales being classified as discontinued operations.

We did not have any dispositions of operating properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we sold three of our operating properties, of which two of these properties were sold and classified as held for sale prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-08.  As such, the results of operations (prior to disposition) and the gain (loss) on sale of real estate of these properties have been reported under discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.  See Note 13.  

 

Investment in Real Estate

Acquisitions

When we acquire operating properties with the intention to hold the investment for the long-term, we allocate the purchase price to the various components of the acquisition based upon the fair value of each component. The components typically include land, building and improvements, tenant improvements, intangible assets related to above and below market leases, intangible assets related to in-place leases, debt and other assumed assets and liabilities.  Because of the timing or complexity of completing certain fair value adjustments, the initial purchase price allocation may be incomplete at the end of a reporting period, in which case we may record provisional purchase price allocation amounts based on information available at the acquisition date.  Subsequent adjustments to provisional amounts are recognized during the measurement period, which cannot exceed one year from the date of acquisition.

We allocate the purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets of a property by valuing the property as if it were vacant.  This “as-if vacant” value is estimated using an income, or discounted cash flow, approach that relies upon Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use.  These Level 3 inputs include discount rates, capitalization rates, as well as available market information.  Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions.  In calculating the “as-if-vacant” value for acquisitions completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we used discount rates ranging from 7.0% and 8.75%.

In determining the fair value of intangible lease assets or liabilities, we also consider Level 3 inputs.  Acquired above- and below-market leases are valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in-place rates measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases, if applicable.  The estimated fair value of acquired in-place at-market tenant leases are the costs that would have been incurred to lease the property to the occupancy level of the property at the date of acquisition. Such estimates include the value associated with leasing commissions, legal and other costs, as well as the estimated period necessary to lease such property that would be incurred to lease the property to its occupancy level at the time of its acquisition. Acquisition costs associated with the business combination are expensed in the period they are incurred.

The difference between the fair value and the face value of debt assumed in connection with an acquisition is recorded as a premium or discount and amortized to “interest expense” over the life of the debt assumed. The valuation of assumed liabilities is based on our estimate of the current market rates for similar liabilities in effect at the acquisition date.

For acquisitions that do not meet the accounting criteria to be accounted for as a business combination, we record to land and building the purchase price paid and capitalize the associated acquisition costs.  We capitalized acquisition costs aggregating $0.1 million and $0 during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  See Note 3.

Capitalization of Costs

We capitalize costs incurred in developing, renovating, rehabilitating, and improving real estate assets as part of the investment basis. Costs incurred in making repairs and maintaining real estate assets are expensed as incurred. During the land development and construction periods, we capitalize interest, insurance, real estate taxes and certain general and administrative costs, including direct payroll, bonus and noncash equity compensation, of the personnel performing development, renovations, and rehabilitation if such costs are incremental and identifiable to a specific activity to get the asset ready for its intended use. Capitalized costs are included in the investment basis of real estate assets. We capitalized interest and real estate taxes aggregating $0.5 million and $0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $1.1 million and $0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

Real estate, including land, building and land improvements, tenant improvements, and furniture, fixtures and equipment, leasing costs and intangible lease assets and liabilities are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, unless circumstances indicate that the cost cannot be recovered, in which case, the carrying value of the property is reduced to estimated fair value as discussed below in our policy with regards to impairment of long-lived assets. We estimate the depreciable portion of our real estate assets and related useful lives in order to record depreciation expense. Our ability to estimate the depreciable portions of our real estate assets and useful lives is critical to the determination of the appropriate amount of depreciation and amortization expense recorded and the carrying value of the underlying assets. Any change to the assets to be depreciated and the estimated depreciable lives of these assets would have an impact on the depreciation expense recognized.

The values allocated to buildings, site improvements, in-place leases, tenant improvements and leasing costs are depreciated on a straight-line basis using an estimated remaining life of 10-30 years for buildings, 7-20 years for site improvements, and the shorter of the estimated useful life or respective lease term for tenant improvements.

As discussed above under Investments in Real Estate —Acquisitions, in connection with property acquisitions, we may acquire leases with rental rates above or below the market rental rates. Such differences are recorded as an intangible lease asset or liability and amortized to “rental revenues” over the reasonably assured term of the related leases. The unamortized balances of these assets and liabilities associated with the early termination of leases are fully amortized to their respective revenue line items in our consolidated financial statements over the shorter of the expected life of such assets and liabilities or the remaining lease term.

Our estimate of the useful life of our assets is evaluated upon acquisition and when circumstances indicate a change in the useful life, which requires significant judgment regarding the economic obsolescence of tangible and intangible assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with the provisions of the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of ASC Topic 360: Property, Plant, and Equipment, we assess the carrying values of our respective long-lived assets, including goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable.

Recoverability of real estate assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. In order to review real estate assets for recoverability, we consider current market conditions as well as our intent with respect to holding or disposing of the asset. The intent with regards to the underlying assets might change as market conditions and other factors change. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques; including discounted cash flow models, applying a capitalization rate to estimated net operating income of a property, quoted market values and third party appraisals, where considered necessary. The use of projected future cash flows is based on assumptions that are consistent with estimates of future expectations and the strategic plan used to manage our underlying business. If our analysis indicates that the carrying value of the real estate asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, we will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the current estimated fair value of the real estate property.

Assumptions and estimates used in the recoverability analyses for future cash flows, discount rates and capitalization rates are complex and subjective. Changes in economic and operating conditions or our intent with respect to our investment that

occur subsequent to our impairment analyses could impact these assumptions and result in future impairment of our real estate properties.

Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate

Investments in unconsolidated real estate in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) are accounted for under the equity method of investment.  Under the equity method, we initially record our investment at cost, and subsequently adjust for equity in earnings or losses and cash contributions and distributions. Any difference between the carrying amount of these investments on the balance sheet and the underlying equity in net assets is amortized as an adjustment to equity in income (loss) from unconsolidated real estate over the life of the related asset. Under the equity method of accounting, our net equity investment is reflected within the consolidated balance sheets, and our share of net income or loss from the joint ventures is included within the consolidated statements of operations.  See Note 12.

 

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) commencing with our initial taxable year ended December 31, 2013. To qualify as a REIT, we are required (among other things) to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code relating to matters such as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Provided we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, and were unable to avail ourselves of certain savings provisions set forth in the Code, all of our taxable income would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax.

In addition, we are subject to taxation by various state and local jurisdictions, including those in which we transact business or reside. Our non-taxable REIT subsidiaries, including our Operating Partnership, are either partnerships or disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes. Under applicable federal and state income tax rules, the allocated share of net income or loss from disregarded entities and flow-through entities such as partnerships is reportable in the income tax returns of the respective equity holders. Accordingly, no income tax provision is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

We periodically evaluate our tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we have not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

FASB ASC Topic 815: Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures are required that explain the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments.

As required by ASC 815, we record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.  The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, and 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

11

in a cash flow hedge.  We may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or we elect not to apply hedge accounting.  See Note 8.

 

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from rent, tenant reimbursements and other revenue sources once all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the delivery has occurred or services rendered, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Minimum annual rental revenues are recognized in rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Rental revenue recognition commences when the tenant takes possession or controls the physical use of the leased space.

Estimated reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other recoverable operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period that the expenses are incurred. Subsequent to year-end, we perform final reconciliations on a lease-by-lease basis and bill or credit each tenant for any cumulative annual adjustments. Lease termination fees, which are included in rental income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, are recognized when the related lease is canceled and we have no continuing obligation to provide services to such former tenant.

Revenues from management, leasing and development services are recognized when the related services have been provided and earned.

The recognition of gains on sales of real estate requires us to measure the timing of a sale against various criteria related to the terms of the transaction, as well as any continuing involvement in the form of management or financial assistance associated with the property. If the sales criteria are not met, we defer gain recognition and account for the continued operations of the property by applying the finance, profit-sharing or leasing method. If the sales criteria have been met, we further analyze whether profit recognition is appropriate using the full accrual method. If the criteria to recognize profit using the full accrual method have not been met, we defer the gain and recognize it when the criteria are met or use the installment or cost recovery method as appropriate under the circumstances. See Note 13 for discussion of dispositions.

Valuation of Receivables

We are subject to tenant defaults and bankruptcies that could affect the collection of outstanding receivables. In order to mitigate these risks, we perform credit reviews and analyses on prospective tenants before significant leases are executed and on existing tenants before properties are acquired. We specifically analyze aged receivables, customer credit-worthiness, historical bad debts and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. As a result of our periodic analysis, we maintain an allowance for estimated losses that may result from the inability of our tenants to make required payments. This estimate requires significant judgment related to the lessees’ ability to fulfill their obligations under the leases. We believe our allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate for our outstanding receivables for the periods presented. If a tenant is insolvent or files for bankruptcy protection and fails to make contractual payments beyond any allowance, we may recognize additional bad debt expense in future periods equal to the net outstanding balances, which include amounts recognized as straight-line revenue not realizable until future periods. We recorded a provision for doubtful accounts of approximately $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and approximately $1.2 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, as a reduction to rental revenues in our consolidated statements of operations. We had a $2.0 million and $1.0 million reserve for allowance for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Equity Based Compensation

We account for equity-based compensation, including shares of restricted stock, in accordance with ASC Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation.  For share-based awards that vest based solely on a service condition, we recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the total requisite service period for the entire award.  The total compensation expense for these awards is based upon the fair market value of the shares on the grant date, adjusted for estimated forfeitures.  See Note 14.

Equity Offering Costs

Underwriting commissions and offering costs have been reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

Earnings Per Share

We calculate earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260 – Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”).  Under ASC 260, shares of nonvested restricted stock that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing basic EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings.  

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding determined for the basic EPS computation plus the effect of any dilutive securities, including the dilutive effect of nonvested restricted common stock using the treasury stock method. See Note 15.

Segment Reporting

Management views the Company as a single reportable segment based on its method of internal reporting in addition to its allocation of capital and resources.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to GAAP are established by the FASB in the form of ASUs to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs.

On September 25, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (“ASU 2015-16”).  ASU 2015-16 requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined, The effect on earnings of changes in depreciation or amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date, must be recorded in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined rather than retrospectively.  ASU 2015-16 also requires that an acquirer present separately on the face of the income statement, or disclose in the notes, the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date.  ASU 2015-16 is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We have elected to adopt ASU 2015-16 early, beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2015.  There was no change to our consolidated financial statements or notes to our consolidated financial statements as a result of early adoption.  

On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (“ASU 2015-03”).  ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a reduction from the carrying value of the debt liability.  This offset against the debt liability is treated similarly to a debt discount, which effectively reduces the proceeds of a borrowing. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted on a retrospective basis.  We have elected to adopt ASU 2015-03 early, beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2015.  As a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-03, we have reclassified approximately $0.7 million of net debt issuance costs from an asset (previously recorded in the line item “Deferred loan costs, net” in the consolidated balance sheets) to a reduction in the carrying amount of our notes payable as of December 31, 2014. Net debt issuance costs related to establishing our revolving line of credit will continue to be presented in the line item “Deferred loan costs, net” as an asset in the consolidated balance sheets.  ASU 2015-03 also expands disclosure requirements to include the face amount of the debt liability and the effective interest rate in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.  See Note 6.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis ("ASU 2015-02"). ASU 2015-02 requires reporting entities to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities.  ASU 2015-02 modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) or voting interest entities and eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership. This ASU affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. A reporting entity may apply the amendments in the ASU using: (i) a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of

adoption; or (ii) by applying the amendments retrospectively. We are currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of the ASU 2015-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”).  ASU 2014-09 establishes principles for reporting the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from an entity's contracts with customers. The core principle of the new standard is that an entity recognizes revenue to represent the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  For public entities, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the implementation date by one year, which would make this ASU effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  ASU 2014-09 notes that lease contracts with customers are a scope exception, and accordingly, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Note Receivable  

At December 31, 2014, we had one mortgage note receivable, which was secured by an industrial property located at 32401-32803 Calle Perfecto in San Juan Capistrano, California (the “Calle Perfecto Note”).  The Calle Perfecto Note was a 30-year amortizing loan, bearing interest at a fixed rate of 6.001%, with a maturity date of May 1, 2017.

On August 21, 2015, the mortgage note borrower of the Calle Perfecto Note repaid, ahead of schedule, the outstanding principal balance in full.  We received gross proceeds from this payoff of approximately $13.8 million, including $43 thousand in per diem interest, and recognized a gain from early repayment of note receivable of $0.6 million.

On January 21, 2015, in connection with the acquisition of the property located at 12907 Imperial Highway, we assumed a mortgage loan that is secured by the property.  The assumed mortgage loan had a principal balance of $5.4 million at the acquisition date and was recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition resulting in an initial debt premium of $0.5 million.  The loan, which was put in place in 2008 by the seller, bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.95% with amortization over 30 years and has a maturity date of April 1, 2018.

 

On April 1, 2015, we repaid the $10.1 million outstanding balance on our loan secured by the property located at 2980-2990 North San Fernando Road.  We repaid the balance using available cash on hand and did not incur any prepayment penalties for repaying in advance of the maturity date of July 1, 2015.

 

On July 16, 2015, we entered into a Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement (the “NPGA”) for the private placement of $100.0 million of guaranteed senior notes, maturing on August 6, 2025, with a fixed annual interest rate of 4.29% (the “Notes”).  On August 6, 2015, we completed the issuance of the Notes.  Interest is payable semiannually on February 6 and August 6 of each year, beginning on February 6, 2016.  We may prepay at any time all or, from time to time, any part of the Notes, in amounts not less than $2.5 million of the Notes then outstanding at (i) 100% of the principal amount so prepaid and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the NPGA).  

 

On August 6, 2015, we used a portion of the funds raised from the issuance of the Notes to terminate and pay in full the $42.75 million principal outstanding under the term loan secured by our property known as the Glendale Commerce Center.  We did not incur any prepayment penalties for repaying in advance of the maturity date of May 1, 2016.

 

On August 6, 2015, we used a portion of the funds raised from the issuance of the Notes to terminate and pay in full the $48.5 million term loan secured by the first priority deed of trust on eight of our properties.  We did not incur any prepayment penalties for repaying in advance of the maturity date of June 24, 2017.

We have a senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $200.0 million (the “Revolver”) and a senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) with a borrowing capacity of $100.0 million (together the “Credit Facility”).  The Revolver is scheduled to mature on June 11, 2018, with one 12-month extension option available, subject to certain conditions, and the Term Loan Facility is scheduled to mature on June 11, 2019.  The aggregate principal amount of the Credit Facility may be increased to a total of up to $600.0 million, which may be comprised of additional revolving commitments under the Revolver or an increase to the Term Loan Facility, or any combination of the foregoing, subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions and the identification of lenders willing to make available such additional amounts.

Interest on the Credit Facility is generally to be paid based upon, at our option, either (i) LIBOR plus the applicable LIBOR margin or (ii) the applicable base rate which is the greater of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the administrative agent’s prime rate or (c) the thirty-day LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus the applicable base rate margin. Until we attain an investment grade rating by two or more of Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investor Services and Fitch Ratings, the applicable LIBOR margin will range from 1.30% to 1.90% for the Revolver and 1.25% to 1.85% for the Term Loan Facility, depending on the our Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement).  In February 2015, the Revolver and the Term Loan Facility were assigned an investment grade rating of BBB- by Fitch Ratings. Additionally, there is a quarterly facility fee that is paid on the undrawn portion of the Revolver in an amount equal to 0.20% or 0.30% depending on the undrawn amount of the Revolver.

The Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company and by substantially all of the current and future subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership that own an unencumbered property. The Credit Facility is not secured by the Company’s properties or by equity interests in the subsidiaries that hold such properties.

The Revolver and the Term Loan Facility may be voluntarily prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty.  Amounts borrowed under the Term Loan Facility and repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed.

The Credit Facility contains usual and customary events of default including defaults in the payment of principal, interest or fees, defaults in compliance with the covenants set forth in the Credit Facility and other loan documentation, cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness, and bankruptcy and other insolvency defaults. If an event of default occurs and is continuing under the Credit Facility, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, may be declared immediately due and payable.  

 

On July 15, 2015, we entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that provides for, among other things, the following changes to the Credit Facility:

 

·

A maximum secured recourse debt covenant was added, which replaced the maximum recourse debt covenant in the Credit Facility;

 

·

The cross default threshold for defaults in other material indebtedness was increased from $20 million to $80 million with respect to recourse debt and from $50 million to $150 million with respect to non-recourse debt; and

 

·

The default threshold for judgments was increased from $20 million to $40 million.

On September 30, 2015, we had borrowings of $67.5 million outstanding under our Revolver, leaving $132.5 million available for additional borrowings.  

Debt Covenants

The Credit Facility, as amended, includes a series of financial and other covenants that we must comply with in order to borrow under the Credit Facility.  These include the following covenants which are tested on a quarterly basis:

 

·

Maintaining a ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 60%;

 

·

Maintaining a ratio of secured debt to total asset value of not more than 45%;

 

·

Maintaining a ratio of total secured recourse debt to total asset value of not more than 15%;

 

·

Maintaining a minimum tangible net worth of at least the sum of (i) $283,622,250, and (ii) an amount equal to at least 75% of the net equity proceeds received by the Company after March 31, 2014;

·

Maintaining a ratio of adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges of at least 1.50 to 1.0; 

 

·

Maintaining a ratio of total unsecured debt to total unencumbered asset value of not more than 60%; and

 

·

Maintaining a ratio of unencumbered NOI to unsecured interest expense of at least 1.75 to 1.0. 

Additionally, the Credit Facility provides that our distributions may not exceed the greater of (i) 95.0% of our funds from operations or (ii) the amount required for us to qualify and maintain our status as a REIT and avoid the payment of federal or state income or excise tax in any 12 month period.

The NPGA contains a series of financial and other covenants with which we must comply.  The financial covenants, which are tested on a quarterly basis, are the same as those that we must comply with under the Credit Facility, as detailed above. Subject to the terms of the NPGA and the Notes, upon certain events of default, including, but not limited to, (i) a default in the payment of any principal, Make-Whole Amount, or interest under the Notes, (ii) a default in the payment of certain of our other indebtedness, (iii) a default in compliance with the covenants set forth in the NPGA, and (iv) bankruptcy and other insolvency defaults, the principal and accrued and unpaid interest and the Make-Whole Amount on the outstanding Notes will become due and payable at the option of the purchasers.

Our $60.0 million term loan contains a financial covenant, which is tested on a quarterly basis, that requires us to maintain a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the term loan agreement) of at least 1.10 to 1.00.  

We were in compliance with all of our required quarterly debt covenants as of September 30, 2015.

Interest Rate Contracts

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

We are exposed to certain risk arising from both our business operations and economic conditions.  We principally manage our exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of our core business activities. We manage economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments.  Specifically, we enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.  Our derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of our known or expected cash payments principally related to our borrowings.

Derivative Instruments

Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy.  Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.  

The effective portion of the change in fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (“AOCI”) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.  The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is immediately recognized in earnings.  

On February 4, 2014, we executed two forward-starting interest rate swap transactions to hedge the variable cash flows associated with our existing $60.0 million variable-rate term loan.  Each of the two swaps has a notional value of $30.0 million. We are required to make certain monthly fixed rate payments calculated on notional amounts of $30.0 million for each of the swaps, while the applicable counterparty is obligated to make certain monthly floating rate payments based on LIBOR to us referencing the same notional amount. The first interest rate swap, which is effective for the period from January 15, 2015 to February 15, 2019, is currently fixing the annual interest rate payable on $30.0 million of our debt at 3.726%.  The second interest rate swap, which is effective for the period from July 15, 2015 to February 15, 2019, currently fixes the annual interest rate payable on the other $30.0 million of debt at 3.91%.

On August 19, 2014, we executed two forward-starting interest rate swap transactions to hedge the variable cash flows associated with our $100.0 million Term Loan Facility. Each of the two swaps has a notional value of $50.0 million.  We are required to make certain monthly fixed rate payments calculated on notional amounts of $50.0 million for each of the swaps, while the applicable counterparty is obligated to make certain monthly floating rate payments based on LIBOR to us referencing the same notional amount.  The first swap is effective for the period from August 14, 2015 to December 14, 2018 and currently fixes the annual interest rate payable at 1.79%, plus an applicable margin under the terms of our Term Loan Credit Facility.  The second swap has an effective date of February 16, 2016 and a maturity date of December 14, 2018. The second interest rate swap will effectively fix the annual interest rate payable on our Term Loan Facility at 2.005%, plus an applicable margin under the terms of the Credit Facility.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

Certain of our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain a provision where if we default on any of our indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender within a specified time period, then we could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

Certain of our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain provisions where if a merger or acquisition occurs that materially changes our creditworthiness in an adverse manner, we may be required to fully collateralize our obligations under the derivative instrument.

As of September 30, 2015, the fair value of interest rate swaps in a net liability position, which excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements, was $4.8 million.  As of September 30, 2015, we have not posted any collateral related to these agreements.

Fair Value Measurements

We have adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820: Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  ASC 820 applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances. 

ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.  Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to

22


REXFORD INDUSTRIAL REALTY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

 

the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Recurring Measurements – Interest Rate Swaps

Currently, we use interest rate swap agreements to manage our interest rate risk.   The valuation of these instruments 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. 

To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.  In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by ourselves and our counterparties.  However, as of September 30, 2015, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives.  As a result, we have determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The table below sets forth the estimated fair value of our interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, which we measure on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands).

Financial Instruments Disclosed at Fair Value

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, rents and other receivables, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and tenant security deposits approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.

The fair value of our notes payable was estimated by calculating the present value of principal and interest payments, using currently available market rates, adjusted with a credit spread, and assuming the loans are outstanding through contractual maturity date.

Related Party Transactions

Howard Schwimmer

We engage in transactions with Howard Schwimmer, our Co-Chief Executive Officer, earning management and development fees and leasing commissions from entities controlled individually by Mr. Schwimmer. Fees and commissions earned from these entities are included in “Management, leasing and development services” in the consolidated statements of operations.  We recorded $0.1 million and $46 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, in management, leasing and development services revenue.

Commitments and Contingencies

Legal

From time to time, we are party to various lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Excluding ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, we are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with respect to previously-disclosed litigation involving certain of its pre-IPO investors.  The aggregate amount paid by the Company in this settlement was not material.  Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the case was dismissed with prejudice on June 8, 2015.

Environmental

We generally will perform environmental site assessments at properties we are considering acquiring.  After the acquisition of such properties, we continue to monitor the properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. From time to time, we acquire properties with known adverse environmental conditions.  If at the time of acquisition, losses associated with environmental remediation obligations are probable and can be reasonably estimable, we record a liability.

On February 25, 2014, we acquired the property located at West 228th Street.  Before purchasing the property, during the due diligence phase, we engaged with a third party environmental consultant to perform various environmental site assessments to determine the presence of any environmental contaminants that might warrant remediation efforts. Based on their investigation, they determined that hazardous substances existed at the property and that additional assessment and remediation work would likely be required to satisfy regulatory requirements.  The total costs were estimated to be $1.3 million, which includes remediation, processing and oversight costs.

To address the estimated costs associated with the environmental issues at the West 228th Street property, we entered into an Environmental Holdback Escrow Agreement (the “Holdback Agreement”) with the former owner, whereby $1.4 million was placed into an escrow account to be used to pay remediation costs.  To fund the $1.4 million, the escrow holder withheld $1.3 million of the purchase price, which would have otherwise been paid to the seller at closing, and the Company funded an additional $0.1 million. According to the Holdback Agreement, the seller has no liability or responsibility to pay for remediation costs in excess of $1.3 million.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we have a $1.2 million contingent liability recorded in our consolidated balance sheets included in the line item “Accounts payable and accrued expenses”, reflecting the estimated remaining cost to remediate environmental liabilities at West 228th Street that existed prior to the acquisition date.  As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we also have a $1.2 million corresponding indemnification asset recorded in our consolidated balance sheets included in the line item “Other assets,” reflecting the estimated costs we expect the former owner to cover pursuant to the Holdback Agreement.  

We expect that the resolution of the environmental matters relating to the above will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  However, we cannot assure you that we have identified all environmental liabilities at our properties, that all necessary remediation actions have been or will be undertaken at our properties or that we will be indemnified, in full or at all, in the event that such environmental liabilities arise.  Furthermore, we

24

cannot assure you that future changes to environmental laws or regulations and their application will not give rise to loss contingencies for future environmental remediation.

Rent Expense

As of September 30, 2015, we lease a parcel of land that is currently being sub-leased to a tenant for a parking lot.  The ground lease is scheduled to expire on June 1, 2062.

Tenant and Construction Related

As of September 30, 2015, we had commitments of approximately $4.1 million for tenant improvement and construction work under the terms of leases with certain of our tenants and contractual agreements with our construction vendors.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

We have deposited cash with financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250 thousand per institution.  Although we have deposits at institutions in excess of federally insured limits as of September 30, 2015, we do not believe we are exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the institutions in which those deposits are held.

As of September 30, 2015, all of our properties are located in the Southern California infill markets.  The ability of the tenants to honor the terms of their respective leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory and social factors affecting the markets in which the tenants operate.

As of September 30, 2015, our 10 largest tenants represented approximately 14.1% of our annualized base rent, which is based on the monthly contracted base rent from leases in effect as of September 30, 2015, multiplied by 12, excluding billboard and antenna revenue and rent abatements.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, no single tenant accounted for more than 10% of our rental revenues.

Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate

We currently manage and hold a 15% equity interest in a joint venture (the “JV”) that indirectly owns one property located at 3233 Mission Oaks Boulevard in Ventura County.  We account for this investment under the equity method of accounting (i.e., at cost, increased or decreased by our share of earnings or losses, less distributions, plus contributions and other adjustments required by equity method accounting, such as basis differences from other-than-temporary impairments, if applicable).

Equity

Common Stock

On February 3, 2015, we completed a public follow-on offering of 11,500,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $16.00 per share.  The net proceeds of the follow-on offering were $176.3 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering costs paid aggregating $7.7 million.  On February 3, 2015, we contributed the net proceeds of the offering to our Operating Partnership in exchange for 11,500,000 common units of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”).

On April 17, 2015, we established an at-the-market equity offering program (the “ATM Program”) through which we may sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $125 million of our common stock through sales agents.  In connection with the ATM program we have incurred offering costs of $0.4 million.  As of September 30, 2015, we have issued 500 shares of common stock under the ATM Program.  Sales going forward, if any, will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including among others, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock, determinations by us of the appropriate sources of funding for us and potential uses of funding available to us.  

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests in our Operating Partnership relate to interests in the partnership that are not owned by us. Noncontrolling interests consisted of 2,066,704 OP Units and represented approximately 3.6% of our Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2015. OP Units and shares of our common stock have essentially the same economic characteristics, as they share equally in the total net income or loss and distributions of our Operating Partnership. Investors who own OP Units have the right to cause our Operating Partnership to redeem any or all of their units in our Operating Partnership for an amount of cash per unit equal to the then current market value of one share of common stock, or, at our election, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, 256,640 OP Units were converted into an equivalent number of shares of common stock, resulting in the reclassification of $2.8 million of noncontrolling interest to Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc.’s stockholders equity.

2013 Incentive Award Plan

In July 2013, we established the Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. and Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P. 2013 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to which we may make grants of stock options, restricted stock, long term incentive plan units in our Operating Partnership and other stock based and cash awards to our non-employee directors, employees and consultants. The maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be issued or transferred pursuant to the Plan is 2,272,689 shares (of which 1,780,445 shares of common stock remain available for issuance as of September 30, 2015).

Shares of our restricted common stock generally may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, subject to the consent or the administrator of the Plan, a domestic

relations order, unless and until all restrictions applicable to such shares have lapsed. Such restrictions generally expire upon vesting. Shares of our restricted common stock have full voting rights and rights to dividends.

We recognized equity compensation expense of $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $1.3 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to the restricted common stock grants ultimately expected to vest. Equity compensation expense is included in general and administrative and property expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Certain amounts of equity compensation expense are capitalized for employees who provide leasing and construction services. We capitalized $25 thousand and $36 thousand of equity compensation costs related to these employees during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.1 million of equity compensation costs related to these employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The effect of including unvested restricted common stock using the treasury stock method was excluded from our calculation of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding – diluted, as its inclusion would have been antidilutive.  In addition, as the effect of the conversion of OP Units into shares of our common stock is neither dilutive nor antidilutive, it has been excluded from our calculation of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding – diluted.  As such, the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, both basic and diluted, are the same for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Although we believe that our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies and prospects as reflected in or suggested by our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies or prospects will be attained or achieved and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Furthermore, actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and may be affected by a variety of risks and factors including, without limitation:

 

·

the competitive environment in which we operate;

 

·

real estate risks, including fluctuations in real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for tenants in such markets;

 

·

decreased rental rates or increasing vacancy rates;

 

·

potential defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants;

 

·

·

potential changes in the law or governmental regulations that affect us and interpretations of those laws and regulations, including changes in real estate and zoning or real estate investment trust (“REIT”) tax laws, and potential increases in real property tax rates;

 

·

financing risks, including the risks that our cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest and we may be unable to refinance our existing debt upon maturity or obtain new financing on attractive terms or at all;

 

·

lack of or insufficient amounts of insurance;

 

·

our failure to complete acquisitions;  

 

·

our failure to successfully integrate acquired properties;

 

·

our ability to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT;

 

·

our ability to maintain our current investment grade rating by Fitch;

 

·

litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending pending or threatened claims and any adverse outcomes; and

 

·

possible environmental liabilities, including costs, fines or penalties that may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties presently owned or previously owned by us.

32


 

Accordingly, there is no assurance that our expectations will be realized.  Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligations or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein (or elsewhere) to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. The reader should review carefully our financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Company Overview

Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. is a self-administered and self-managed full-service REIT focused on owning and operating industrial properties in Southern California infill markets. Our goal is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders by providing superior access to industrial property investments in Southern California infill markets.

We were formed as a Maryland corporation on January 18, 2013 and Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), of which we are the sole general partner, was formed as a Maryland limited partnership on January 18, 2013. Through our controlling interest in our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, we own, manage, lease, acquire and develop industrial real estate located in Southern California infill markets.  As of September 30, 2015, our consolidated portfolio consisted of 113 properties with approximately 11.1 million rentable square feet.  We also hold a 15% interest in a joint venture (the “JV”) that indirectly owns one property located in Ventura County with approximately 0.5 million rentable square feet, which we manage. In addition we currently manage an additional 19 properties with approximately 1.2 million rentable square feet.  

We are organized and conduct our operations to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and generally are not subject to federal taxes on our income to the extent we distribute our income to our shareholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT.

Our ability to increase revenues or cash flows will depend in part on the expansion of our portfolio through disciplined property acquisitions, the execution of value-add repositioning or redevelopment strategies at newly acquired or existing properties, and maintaining our proactive approach to leasing and asset management.

Factors That May Influence Future Results of Operations

Acquisitions and Development of Properties

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we completed the acquisition of 10 properties in our Los Angeles market, two properties in our San Diego market, and one property in each of our Orange County, Ventura and Inland Empire markets for total of 15 properties aggregating approximately 1.3 million rentable square feet for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $169.1 million.  As a result of our acquisitions, we expensed $0.5 million and $1.6 million of acquisition-related costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, and we capitalized $0.1 million and $0.5 million of acquisition-related costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.  We expect to incur additional acquisition-related costs during the remainder of 2015 as we continue to acquire properties and grow our portfolio.

A key component of our growth strategy is to acquire properties through off-market and lightly marketed transactions that are often operating at below-market occupancy or below-market rent at the time of acquisition or that have near-term lease roll-over.  Through various redevelopment, repositioning, and professional leasing and marketing strategies, we seek to increase the properties’ functionality and attractiveness to prospective tenants and, over time, stabilize the properties at occupancy rates that meet or exceed market rates.  Of the 15 properties we acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, there are four properties aggregating approximately 440,000 rentable square feet, that we consider “value-add acquisitions.”  We consider a property to be a value-add acquisition when it provides opportunities for repositioning, redevelopment, professional management or re-tenanting that will optimize the occupancy and cash flow from the property.

A repositioning can consist of a range of improvements to a property.  This may include a complete structural renovation of a property whereby we convert large underutilized spaces into a series of smaller and more functional spaces, or it may include the creation of additional square footage, the modernization of the property site, the elimination of functional obsolescence, the addition or enhancement of loading areas and truck access, or other accretive improvements.  Because each repositioning effort is unique and determined based on the property, targeted tenants and overall trends in the general market and specific submarket, the timing and effect of the repositioning on our rental revenue and occupancy levels will vary, and as a result will affect the comparison of our results of operations from period to period with limited predictability. As of September 30, 2015, we have already implemented and commenced on certain value-add repositioning strategies at two of these properties.

As of September 30, 2015, seven of our properties aggregating 719,493 rentable square feet, were in various stages of redevelopment and repositioning.  The table below sets forth a summary of these properties:

This building is being repositioned from a single-tenant building into a two-unit building. As of September 30, 2015, one of the units, with 120,000 rentable square feet, has a lease in place that will commence during 4Q-2015.

 

(2)

This represents the best approximation of completion dates at the time of this report.  It is subject to change as a result of factors including permit requirements, changes in scope, and other unforeseen circumstances.

 

Properties that are nonoperational, as a result of repositioning or redevelopment activity, may qualify for varying levels of interest and real estate tax capitalization during the development and construction period. An increase in our repositioning and development activities resulting from value-add acquisitions could cause an increase in the asset balances qualifying for interest and tax capitalization in future periods.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we capitalized $0.5 million and $1.1 million of interest and real estate taxes, respectively.  

Rental Revenues

Our operating results depend primarily upon generating rental revenue from the properties in our consolidated portfolio.  The amount of rental revenue generated by these properties depends primarily on our ability to maintain or increase occupancy levels and lease rates at our properties, which will depend upon our ability to lease vacant space and re-lease expiring space at favorable rates.

Occupancy Rates.  As of September 30, 2015, our consolidated portfolio was approximately 88.8% occupied. The following table sets forth a summary of our portfolio’s occupancy and annualized base rent by county as of September 30, 2015:

We believe the opportunity to increase occupancy at our properties will be a significant driver of future revenue growth. A considerable opportunity to drive this growth will be the results of our repositioning activity. As noted above, our operating results and statistics are affected by our repositioning efforts, which will vary from quarter to quarter.  The following table sets forth a summary of our portfolio’s occupancy by market excluding the seven properties in redevelopment or repositioning as of September 30, 2015:

Uncommenced Leases.  As of September 30, 2015, our consolidated portfolio was approximately 90.5% leased. The difference between our occupancy percentage and leased percentage is attributed to our uncommenced leases.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we entered into five leases that had not commenced as of September 30, 2015, representing 197,841 rentable square feet, or 1.8% of our total rentable square feet.

(1)

Pro forma occupancy is calculated as (i) square footage under lease as of September 30, 2015, plus additional square footage leased pursuant to uncommenced leases as of September 30, 2015.

 

(2)

Annualized base rent under uncommenced leases is calculated by multiplying the first full month of contractual rents (before rent abatements) to be received under uncommenced leases, by 12 and then aggregating by market.

 

(3)

Total pro forma annualized base rent is calculated by adding (i) annualized base rent as of September 30, 2015 and (ii) annualized base rent under uncommenced leases.

 

(4)

Total pro forma annualized base rent per square foot is calculated as (i) total pro forma annualized base rent as of September 30, 2015, divided by (ii) leased square feet and leased square feet under uncommenced leases.

 

(5)

Includes a 112,000 square foot lease at our repositioning property located at 7900 Nelson Road, which commences in October 2015 and has annualized base rent of $945,500.

 

Leasing Activity and Rental Rates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we executed 167 new leases covering approximately 958,000 rentable square feet. The following table sets forth our activity on new leases on a quarterly basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2015:

For the 167 new leases that were executed during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the leasing spreads increased by 6.0% on a cash basis and 15.5% on a GAAP basis, when comparing the ending cash rental rates on the expiring leases for the same space. For the 223 leases that we renewed during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the renewal spreads increased by 5.7% on a cash basis and 14.1% on a GAAP basis.  Although our leasing spreads have varied from quarter to quarter, we believe that our recent leasing statistics are indicative of a trend of improving leasing fundamentals across our submarkets, which we believe will continue during the coming quarter.

 

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 relative desirability of our individual properties.  The following table sets forth a summary schedule of lease expirations for leases in place as of September 30, 2015, plus available space, for each of the full and partial calendar years beginning with 2015 and thereafter:

Calculated as monthly contracted base rent (in thousands) per the terms of such lease, as of September 30, 2015, multiplied by 12. Excludes billboard and antenna revenue and rent abatements.

Represents tenants under month-to-month (“MTM”) leases or having holdover tenancy.  Includes 53 tenants under MTM leases at our property located at 14723-14825 Oxnard Street, where due to number and the small size of spaces, we typically only enter into MTM leases.

The leases scheduled to expire during the remainder of 2015 and 2016 represent approximately 4.8% and 27.4% respectively, of the total annualized base rent for our portfolio as of September 30, 2015. We estimate that currently, on average, in-place rents of leases scheduled to expire in 2015 and 2016 are somewhat below current market asking rents.  However, individual units or properties within any particular submarket presently may be leased either above, below, or at the current market asking rates within that

submarket.  We have noted that over the last few years, rental rates in our markets for product comparable to ours have generally begun to rise. This trend in increased rental rates offers favorable potential for increases in lease renewal rates. Accordingly, we anticipate our renewal rates for the upcoming 2015 and 2016 lease expiration periods to continue to be strong.

Property Expenses

Our property expenses generally consist of utilities, real estate taxes, insurance, site repair and maintenance costs, and the allocation of overhead costs. For the majority of our properties, our property expenses are recovered, in part, by either the triple net provisions or modified gross expense reimbursements in tenant leases. However, the terms of our leases vary and in some instances we may absorb property expenses. Our overall financial results will be impacted by the extent to which we are able to pass-through property expenses to our tenants.

General and Administrative Expenses

We expect to incur increased general and administrative expenses, including legal, accounting, equity compensation and other expenses related to corporate governance, public reporting and compliance with various provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We anticipate that our staffing levels will increase from 65 employees presently to between 70 and 80 employees during the next 12 to 24 months and, as a result, our general and administrative expenses will increase further.

Taxable REIT Subsidiary

As of September 30, 2015, our Operating Partnership indirectly and wholly owns Rexford Industrial Realty and Management, Inc., which we refer to as the services company.  We have elected, together with our services company, to treat our services company as a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes. A taxable REIT subsidiary generally may provide non-customary and other services to our tenants and engage in activities that we may not engage in directly without adversely affecting our qualification as a REIT, provided a taxable REIT subsidiary may not operate or manage a lodging facility or health care facility or provide rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated. We may form additional taxable REIT subsidiaries in the future, and our Operating Partnership may contribute some or all of its interests in certain wholly owned subsidiaries or their assets to our services company. Any income earned by our taxable REIT subsidiaries will not be included in our taxable income for purposes of the 75% or 95% gross income tests, except to the extent such income is distributed to us as a dividend, in which case such dividend income will qualify under the 95%, but not the 75%, gross income test. Because a taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to federal income tax, and state and local income tax (where applicable) as a regular corporation, the income earned by our taxable REIT subsidiaries generally will be subject to an additional level of tax as compared to the income earned by our other subsidiaries.  Our taxable REIT subsidiary is a C-corporation subject to federal and state income tax, however it has a cumulative unrecognized net operation loss carryforward and therefore there is no income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies

In our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, we identified certain critical accounting policies that affect certain of our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements. Other than the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest and ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, we have not made any material changes to our critical accounting policies during the period covered by this report.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates and assumptions. Management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon information currently available and on various assumptions that it believes are reasonable as of the date hereof. In addition, other companies in similar businesses may use different estimation policies and methodologies, which may affect the comparability of our results of operations and financial condition to those of other companies. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our accounting policies

Results of Operations

Our consolidated results of operations are often not comparable from period to period due to the effect of property acquisitions and dispositions completed during the comparative reporting periods.  Our “Total Portfolio” represents all of the properties owned during the reported periods.  To eliminate the effect of changes in our Total Portfolio due to acquisitions and dispositions and to highlight the operating results of our on-going business, we have separately presented the results of our “Same Properties Portfolio.”  

37


 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our Same Properties Portfolio includes all properties in our industrial portfolio that were wholly-owned by us as of January 1, 2014 and still owned by us as of September 30, 2015. Results for our Same Properties Portfolio exclude our joint venture property, any properties that were acquired or sold during the period from January 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015, interest income from our note receivable, and corporate general and administrative expenses. As of September 30, 2015, our Same Properties Portfolio consisted of 62 properties aggregating approximately 6.1 million rentable square feet, and our Total Portfolio consisted of 113 properties aggregating approximately 11.1 million rentable square feet.  The difference between these two portfolios is the 51 properties aggregating approximately 5.0 million rentable square feet that were purchased between January 1, 2014 and September 30, 2015.

As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, our Same Properties Portfolio occupancy was approximately 93.7% and 91.3%, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our Same Properties Portfolio weighted average occupancy was approximately 93.2% and 90.8%, respectively.  Comparatively, our Same Properties Portfolio weighted average occupancy was approximately 92.9% and 90.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Rental Income

Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio rental revenue increased $0.6 million, or 5.0%, and $5.1 million, or 32.9%, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in our Same Properties Portfolio is primarily due to the increase in our average occupancy for comparable periods and the increase in average rental rates on new and renewal leases. Our Total Portfolio rental revenue was also positively impacted by the incremental revenues from the 51 properties we acquired between January 1, 2014 and September 30, 2015.

Tenant Reimbursements

Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio tenant reimbursements revenue decreased $0.2 million, or 10.9%, and increased $0.3 million, or 15.8%, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The decrease in our Same Properties Portfolio tenant reimbursements is directly related to the decrease in real estate taxes resulting from supplemental assessments of certain of our properties, as described below under property expenses. Our Total Portfolio tenant reimbursements revenue was also impacted by the incremental reimbursements from the 51 properties we acquired between January 1, 2014 and September 30, 2015.

Other Income

Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio other income increased $0.2 million, or 1,975.0%, and increased $0.3 million, or 2,031.3%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to an increase in late fee income.  

Management, Leasing and Development Services

Our Total Portfolio management, leasing and development services revenue increased by $15 thousand, or 8.8%, during the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.  This was primarily due to increased leasing commission and management fee revenue from the 19 properties we manage, partially offset by lower management fees from our JV as a result of the sale of two of the three buildings owned by the JV in November 2014.  

Interest Income

Our Total Portfolio interest income decreased by $0.1 million, or 45.6%, during the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.  On August 21, 2015, the borrower of the “Calle Perfecto Note,” the mortgage note receivable secured by an industrial property located at 32401-32803 Calle Perfecto, repaid, ahead of schedule the outstanding principal balance in full.  The decrease in interest income is a result of this early repayment.

Property Expenses

Our Same Properties Portfolio property expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 3.2%, during the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to a decrease in real estate tax expense resulting from supplemental assessments of certain of our properties.  Our Total Portfolio property expenses increased $1.4 million, or 27.8%, during the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of incremental expenses from the 51 properties we acquired between January 1, 2014 and September 30, 2015.

General and Administrative

Our Total Portfolio general and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million, or 15.4%, during the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The increase is primarily due to the following: (i) a $0.4 million increase in employee-related costs due to increased staffing levels from growth, (ii) a $0.2 million increase in professional audit and tax fees, (iii) a $0.1 million increase in franchise taxes due to timing, (iv) a $0.1 million increase in non-cash equity compensation expense due to restricted stock grants made subsequent to September 30, 2014, and (v) a $0.1 million increase in other professional services fees.  These increases were partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in legal fees.

Depreciation and Amortization

Our Same Properties Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.7 million, or 13.1%, during the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to acquired lease related intangible and tangible assets for several of our properties becoming fully depreciated during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014. Our Total Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.6 million, or 32.5%, during

40


 

the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to incremental expenses from the 51 properties we acquired between January 1, 2014 and September 30, 2015.

Acquisition Expenses

Our Total Portfolio acquisition expenses increased $0.1 million, or 23.9%, during the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to increased brokerage fees related to acquisitions completed during the current period.

Interest Expense

Our Same Properties Portfolio interest expense decreased by $0.2 million, or 70.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The decrease was primarily due to the repayment of the outstanding mortgages encumbering the Glendale Commerce Center during August 2015 and the property located at 10700 Jersey Boulevard during October 2014.  Our Total Portfolio interest expense increased by $0.3 million, or 14.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.  This was primarily due to the increase in our weighted average interest rate resulting from the issuance of $100.0 million of 4.29% fixed rate senior notes in August 2015 and the three interest rate swaps that were in effect during the three months ended September 30, 2015.  The increase was partially offset by the mortgage repayments noted above and capitalized interest related to our repositioning properties during the three months ended September 30, 2015, for which there was no comparable amount for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities

Equity in income of unconsolidated real estate entities includes our equity interests in the operating results of the properties held by our JV and basis adjustments related to these properties. In November 2014, the JV sold two of the three buildings owned by the JV.  Our Total Portfolio equity in income of unconsolidated real estate entities increased by $43 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of the change in basis adjustments following the sale of these properties.

Gain from Early Repayment of Note Receivable

The gain from early repayment of note receivable of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 represents the recognition of the unamortized accretable yield related to the collection of the Calle Perfecto Note.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

The loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 represents the write-off of unamortized deferred loan costs related to the early repayment of the $48.5 million term loan secured by eight of our properties.

Loss on Sale of Real Estate

The loss on sale of real estate of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 relates to the disposition of our property located at 500-560 Zenith Drive, in Glenview, Illinois (“Zenith Drive”).  We adopted ASU 2014-08: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”), beginning in the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014.  Under ASU 2014-08, only disposals that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity’s results and operations would qualify as discontinued operations.  The disposal of Zenith Drive did not meet the criteria to be classified in discontinued operations, and as such, the loss on sale of real estate is included in continuing operations.

Rental Income

Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio rental revenue increased $1.7 million, or 4.9%, and $18.5 million, or 46.4%, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in our Same Properties Portfolio is primarily due to the increase in our average occupancy for comparable periods and the increase in average rental rates on new and renewal leases. Our Total Portfolio rental revenue was also positively impacted by the incremental revenues from the 51 properties we acquired between January 1, 2014 and September 30, 2015.

Tenant Reimbursements

Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio tenant reimbursements revenue decreased $0.1 million, or 1.2%, and increased $2.2 million, or 41.2%, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in our Same Properties Portfolio tenant reimbursements is directly related to the decrease in real estate taxes resulting from supplemental assessments of certain of our properties as described below under property expenses, as well as lower reimbursements resulting from the completion of prior year recoverable expense reconciliations for comparable periods. Our Total Portfolio tenant reimbursements increased primarily due to the incremental reimbursements from the 51 properties we acquired between January 1, 2014 and September 30, 2015.

Other Income

Our Same Properties Portfolio other income increased $0.3 million, or 439.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to an increase in late fee income. Our Total Portfolio other income increased $0.6 million, or 849.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to an increase in late fee income and filming income at one of our properties.

Management, Leasing and Development Services

Our Total Portfolio management, leasing and development services revenue decreased $0.2 million, or 26.8%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  This was primarily due to lower management fees from our JV as a result of the sale of two of the three buildings owned by the JV in November 2014.  

Property Expenses

Our Same Properties Portfolio property expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 1.1%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due to a decrease in utility expenses, repairs and maintenance expense, and real estate tax expense resulting from supplemental assessments of certain of our properties, partially offset by an increase in property overhead costs.  Our Total Portfolio property expenses increased $5.0 million, or 38.6%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of incremental expenses from the 51 properties we acquired between January 1, 2014 and September 30, 2015.

General and Administrative

Our Total Portfolio general and administrative expenses increased $2.4 million, or 27.8%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The increase is primarily due to the following: (i) a $0.9 million increase in employee-related costs mainly due to increased staffing levels from growth, (ii) a $0.6 million increase in overhead costs, particularly rent and other professional services fees, (iii) a $0.5 million increase in non-cash equity compensation expense due to restricted stock grants made during 2014 and 2015, and (iv) a $0.5 million increase in professional audit and tax fees.  This increase was partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in legal fee expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization

Our Same Properties Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense decreased $2.4 million, or 14.6%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to acquired lease related intangible and tangible assets for several of our properties becoming fully depreciated during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014. Our Total Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense increased $10.9 million, or 53.8%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due to incremental expenses from the 51 properties we acquired between January 1, 2014 and September 30, 2015.

43


 

Acquisition Expenses

Our Total Portfolio acquisition expenses increased $0.2 million, or 14.0%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to increased brokerage fees related to acquisitions completed during the current period.

Interest Expense

Our Same Properties Portfolio interest expense decreased by $0.3 million, or 36.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily due to the repayment of the outstanding mortgages encumbering the Glendale Commerce Center during August 2015 and the property located at 10700 Jersey Boulevard during October 2014.  Our Total Portfolio interest expense increased by $1.0 million, or 20.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  This was primarily due to the increase in our weighted average interest rate resulting from the issuance of $100 million of 4.29% fixed rate senior notes in August 2015 and the three interest rate swaps that were in effect during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as well as the increase in our average outstanding debt balances.  The increase was partially offset by the mortgage repayments noted above and capitalized interest related to our repositioning properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, for which there was no comparable amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Equity in Income (Loss) of Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities

Equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated real estate entities includes our equity interests in the operating results of the properties held by our JV and basis adjustments related to these properties. In November 2014, the JV sold two of the three buildings owned by the JV.  Our Total Portfolio equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated real estate entities increased by $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of the change in basis adjustments following the sale of these properties.

Gain from Early Repayment of Note Receivable

The gain from early repayment of note receivable of $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 represents the recognition of the unamortized accretable yield related to the collection of the Calle Perfecto Note.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we repaid the $48.5 million term loan secured by eight of our properties and the mortgage loan encumbering the property located at 2980-2990 San Fernando Road.  The loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million represents the write-off of $0.3 million of unamortized deferred loan costs related to the term loan, partially offset by the write-off of the $0.1 million unamortized loan premium related to the mortgage loan.  We repaid both loans in advance of the maturity date without incurring prepayment fees.

Loss on Sale of Real Estate

The loss on sale of real estate of $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 relates to the disposition of Zenith Drive.  As a result of the adoption of ASU 2014-08, the disposal of Zenith Drive did not meet the criteria to be classified in discontinued operations, and as such, the loss on sale of real estate is included in continuing operations.

Discontinued Operations

Our income from discontinued operations of $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is comprised primarily of the gain on sale of our property located at 1335 Park Center Drive, partially offset by the loss on sale of our property located at 2900 N. Madera Road.

 

Non-GAAP Supplemental Measure: Funds From Operations

We calculate funds from operations (“FFO”) before non-controlling interest in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”).  FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, impairment losses, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures.

44


 

Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, and asset impairments, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of performance used by other 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 properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, 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. Other equity REITs may not calculate or interpret FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition as we do, 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 sets forth a reconciliation of FFO before non-controlling interest for the periods presented to net income, the nearest GAAP equivalent (in thousands):

Non-GAAP Supplemental Measure: NOI and Cash NOI

Net operating income (“NOI”) includes the revenue and expense directly attributable to our real estate properties calculated in accordance with GAAP.  NOI is calculated as total revenue from real estate operations including i) rental revenues ii) tenant reimbursements, and iii) other income less property expenses (before interest expense, depreciation and amortization).  We use NOI as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate depreciation and amortization expense and gains (or losses) from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs.  We also believe that NOI will be useful to investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs.  However, because NOI excludes depreciation and amortization expense and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties (all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations), the utility of NOI as a measure of our performance is limited.  Other equity REITs may not calculate NOI in a similar manner and, accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to such other REITs’ NOI.  Accordingly, NOI should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance.  NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs.  NOI should not be used as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities in accordance with GAAP.  

NOI on a cash-basis (“Cash NOI”) is a non-GAAP measure, which we calculate by adding or subtracting from NOI i) fair value lease revenue and ii) straight-line rent adjustment.  We use Cash NOI, together with NOI, as a supplemental performance measure.  Cash NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs.  Cash NOI should not be used as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Measure: EBITDA

We believe that earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of our operating performance as a real estate company because it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of our industrial properties. We also use this measure in ratios to compare our performance to that of our industry peers. However, our industry peers may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner as we do and, accordingly, our EBITDA may not be comparable to our peers’ EBITDA.  Accordingly, EBITDA should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) as a measure of our performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for property operating expenses, interest expense, general and administrative expenses, capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions and distributions to our common stockholders and holders of common units.  We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through available cash on hand, cash flows from operations, by drawing on our unsecured revolving credit facility and pursuant to the ATM Program described below.

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures and scheduled debt maturities.  We intend to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through net cash flow from operations, proceeds from long-term secured and unsecured financings, borrowings available under our unsecured revolving credit facility, the issuance of equity securities and proceeds from selective real estate dispositions as we identify capital recycling opportunities.  

As of September 30, 2015, our cash and cash equivalents were $5.1 million, and our outstanding balance under our unsecured revolving credit facility was $67.5 million, leaving $132.5 million available for additional borrowings.  

Sources of Liquidity

Cash Flow from Operations

Cash flow from operations is one of our key sources of liquidity and is primarily dependent upon: (i) the occupancy levels and lease rates at our properties, (ii) our ability to collect rent, (iii) the level of operating costs we incur, and (iv) our ability to pass through operating expenses to our tenants. We are subject to a number of risks related to general economic and other unpredictable conditions, which have the potential to affect our overall performance and resulting cash flows from operations.  However, based on our current portfolio mix and business strategy, we anticipate that we will be able to generate positive cash flows from operations.

Equity Offerings

 On April 17, 2015, we established an at-the-market equity offering program (the “ATM Program”) pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $125 million in amounts and at times to be determined by us from time to time.  As of September 30, 2015, we have issued 500 shares of common stock at a price of $14.30 per share for gross cash proceeds of $7 thousand.  Future sales, if any, will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including among others, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock, determinations by us of the appropriate sources of funding for us and potential uses of funding available to us.  We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering of shares under the ATM Program, if any, to fund potential acquisition opportunities, repay amounts outstanding from time to time under our unsecured revolving credit facility or other debt financing obligations, to fund our development or redevelopment activities and/or for general corporate purposes.

On February 3, 2015, we completed a public follow-on offering of 11,500,000 shares of common stock at a price per share of $16.00.  The net proceeds of the follow-on offering were $176.3 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering costs

47


 

paid aggregating $7.7 million.  The net proceeds from this offering were used to repay all of the outstanding borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, which had an outstanding balance of $116.0 million on February 6, 2015, the date of repayment, as well as to fund four of our acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.  From time to time, we may decide to issue additional securities to fund acquisitions, the repayment of long-term debt upon maturity and for other general corporate purposes.

Capital Recycling

In the future, we may selectively dispose of certain of our properties as we identify capital recycling opportunities.  The timing of any potential future dispositions will depend on market conditions and our capital needs. Our ability to dispose of selective properties on advantageous terms, or at all, is dependent upon a number of factors including the availability of credit to potential buyers to purchase properties at prices that we consider acceptable.

Unsecured Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facilities

We have a senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $200 million (the “Revolver”) and a senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) with borrowing capacity of $100 million (together the “Credit Facility”).  The Revolver is scheduled to mature on June 11, 2018 with one 12-month extension option available, subject to certain conditions, and the Term Loan Facility is scheduled to mature on June 11, 2019.  The aggregate principal amount of the Credit Facility may be increased to a total of up to $600 million, which may be comprised of additional revolving commitments under the Revolver or an increase to the Term Loan Facility, or any combination of the foregoing, subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions and the identification of lenders willing to make available such additional amounts.

Interest on the Credit Facility is generally to be paid based upon, at our option, either (i) LIBOR plus the applicable LIBOR margin or (ii) the applicable base rate which is the greater of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the administrative agent’s prime rate or (c) the thirty-day LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus the applicable base rate margin. Until we attain an investment grade rating by two or more of Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investor Services and Fitch Ratings, the applicable LIBOR margin will range from 1.30% to 1.90%  for the Revolver and 1.25% to 1.85% for the Term Loan Facility, depending on the our Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement).   Additionally, a quarterly facility fee is paid on the undrawn portion of the Revolver in an amount equal to 0.20% or 0.30% depending on the undrawn amount of the Revolver.

The Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company and by substantially all of the current and future subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership that own an unencumbered property. The Credit Facility is not secured by the Company’s properties or by equity interests in the subsidiaries that hold such properties.

On July 15, 2015, we entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that provides for, among other things, the following changes to the Credit Facility:

 

·

A maximum secured recourse debt covenant was added, which replaced the maximum recourse debt covenant in the Credit Facility;

 

·

The cross default threshold for defaults in other material indebtedness was increased from $20 million to $80 million with respect to recourse debt and from $50 million to $150 million with respect to non-recourse debt; and

 

·

The default threshold for judgments was increased from $20 million to $40 million.

The Revolver and the Term Loan Facility may be voluntarily prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty.  Amounts borrowed under the Term Loan Facility and repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed.

The Credit Facility contains usual and customary events of default including defaults in the payment of principal, interest or fees, defaults in compliance with the covenants set forth in the Credit Facility and other loan documentation, cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness, and bankruptcy and other insolvency defaults. If an event of default occurs and is continuing under the Credit Facility, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, may be declared immediately due and payable.  

During February 2015, our Revolver and Term Loan Facility were assigned an investment grade rating of BBB- by Fitch Ratings.  Our credit rating is based on our operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, overall financial position and other factors employed by the credit rating agencies in their rating analysis of us, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit rating. In the event our current credit rating is downgraded, it may become difficult or expensive to obtain additional financing or refinance existing indebtedness as maturities become due.

Uses of Liquidity

Acquisitions

As part of our growth strategy, we are actively monitoring a number of properties in our markets that we believe represent attractive potential investment opportunities.  During 2015, we expect to close on acquisitions aggregating $250 million or more.  As of November 6, 2015, we have already closed on approximately $197 million and we currently have $22 million of acquisitions in escrow.  Additionally, we have several other opportunities with near final letters of intent outstanding.  In the short term, we expect to fund our acquisitions through cash flows from operations and borrowings available under the Revolver, and in the long term, through the issuance of equity securities or proceeds from long-term secured and unsecured financings.  

Recurring and Nonrecurring Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures are considered part of both our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements.  Under “Acquisitions and Development of Properties”, we identified seven of our properties, aggregating 719,493 rentable square feet, that were under repositioning as of September 30, 2015.  We currently estimate that approximately $22.3 million of capital will be required over the next seven quarters (4Q-2015 through 2Q-2017) to complete the repositioning of these properties.  This estimate, however, is based on current budgets and is subject to change due to a number of factors. We expect to fund the capital improvements to complete these repositioning efforts through a combination of cash flow from operations and borrowings available under the Revolver.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding non-recurring and recurring capital expenditures at the properties in our consolidated portfolio as follows (dollars in thousands):

(1)

Includes the effect of interest rate swaps that were effective as of September 30, 2015.  Assumes a 1-month LIBOR rate of 0.193% as of September 30, 2015, as applicable. Excludes the effect of amortization of deferred loan fees, discounts/premiums and the unused commitment fee on the Revolver.  

(2)

Excludes unamortized deferred loan fees and net debt premiums aggregating $0.8 million as of September 30, 2015.

(3)

One additional one-year extension is available, if certain conditions are satisfied.

(4)

As of September 30, 2015, this $60 million term loan has been effectively fixed at 3.818% through the use of two interest rate swaps as follows: (i) $30 million at 3.726% with an effective date of January 15, 2015 and (ii) $30 million at 3.91% with an effective date of July 15, 2015.  

(5)

The applicable LIBOR margin will range from 1.30% to 1.90% for the Revolver and 1.25% to 1.85% for the Term Loan Facility, depending on the ratio of our outstanding consolidated indebtedness to the value of our consolidated gross asset value.  This ratio is measured on a quarterly basis. As a result, the effective interest rate will fluctuate from period to period.

(6)

As of September 30, 2015, $50 million of this $100 million term loan has been effectively fixed at 3.040% through the use of an interest rate swap with an effective date of August 14, 2015.

(7)

As of September 30, 2015, we have an executed forward interest rate swap that will effectively fix $50 million of this $100 million term loan at 2.005% plus the applicable Term Loan Facility LIBOR margin from February 16, 2016 to December 14, 2018.

(8)

The Revolver is subject to an unused commitment fee, which is calculated as 0.30% or 0.20% of the daily-unused commitment if the balance is under $100 million or over $100 million, respectively.

On July 16, 2015, we entered into a Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement (the “NPGA”) for the private placement of $100.0 million of guaranteed senior notes, maturing on August 6, 2025, with a fixed annual interest rate of 4.29% (the “Notes”).  On August 6, 2015, we completed the issuance of the Notes, and used a portion of the funds to repay the $42.75 million term loan secured by our property known as the Glendale Commerce Center and the $48.5 million term loan secured by the first priority deed of trust on eight of our properties. These term loans were scheduled to mature on May 1, 2016, and June 24, 2017, respectively.  The private placement of these Notes was executed as part of our ongoing effort to optimize our capital structure and hedge against a rising interest rate environment, as well as to increase our financial flexibility by reducing our secured debt exposure and staggering our debt maturities.

(2)

Excludes unamortized deferred loan fees and net debt premiums aggregating $0.8 million as of September 30, 2015.

 

At September 30, 2015, we had total consolidated indebtedness of $335.9 million, excluding unamortized deferred loan fees and net debt premiums aggregating $0.8 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.07% and an average term-to-maturity of 5.4 years.  As of September 30, 2015, $218.4 million, or 65%, of our outstanding indebtedness had an interest rate that was effectively fixed under either the terms of the loan ($108.4 million) or an interest rate swap ($110 million).  We have one forward interest rate swap that will effectively fix an additional $50 million of our variable- rate debt at 2.005% plus the applicable margin on our Term Loan Facility from February 16, 2016 to December 14, 2018.  If this interest rate swap were to be effective as of September 30, 2015, our consolidated debt would be 80% fixed-rate and 20% variable-rate.

At September 30, 2015, we had total indebtedness of $335.9 million, reflecting a net debt to total market capitalization of approximately 29.5%. Our total market capitalization is defined as the sum of the market value of our outstanding common stock excluding shares of nonvested restricted stock, plus the aggregate value of common units not owned by us, plus the value of our net debt.  Our net debt is defined as our consolidated indebtedness less cash and cash equivalents.  

Debt Covenants

The Credit Facility, as amended, includes a series of financial and other covenants that we must comply with in order to borrow under the Credit Facility, including:

 

·

Maintaining a ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 60%;

 

·

Maintaining a ratio of secured debt to total asset value of not more than 45%;

 

·

Maintaining a ratio of total secured recourse debt to total asset value of not more than 15%;

 

·

Maintaining a minimum tangible net worth of at least the sum of (i) $283,622,250, and (ii) an amount equal to at least 75% of the net equity proceeds received by the Company after March 31, 2014;

 

·

Maintaining a ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) to fixed charges of at least 1.50 to 1.0;

 

·

Maintaining a ratio of total unsecured debt to total unencumbered asset value of not more than 60%;

 

·

Maintaining a ratio of unencumbered NOI (as defined in the credit agreement) to unsecured interest expense of at least 1.75 to 1.0. 

51


 

In addition, the Credit Facility contain limitations on our ability to pay distributions on our common stock.  Specifically, our cash dividends may not exceed the greater of (1) 95% of our FFO (as defined in the credit agreement) and (2) the amount required for us to qualify and maintain our REIT status.  If an event of default exists, we may only make distributions sufficient to qualify and maintain our REIT status.

The NPGA contains a series of financial and other covenants with which we must comply.  The financial covenants, which are tested on a quarterly basis, are the same as those that we must comply with under the Credit Facility, as detailed above. Subject to the terms of the NPGA and the Notes, upon certain events of default, including, but not limited to, (i) a default in the payment of any principal, Make-Whole Amount, or interest under the Notes, (ii) a default in the payment of certain of our other indebtedness, (iii) a default in compliance with the covenants set forth in the NPGA, and (iv) bankruptcy and other insolvency defaults, the principal and accrued and unpaid interest and the Make-Whole Amount on the outstanding Notes will become due and payable at the option of the purchasers.

Our $60 million term loan contains the following financial covenants:

 

·

Maintaining a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the term loan agreement) of at least 1.10 to 1.00, to be tested quarterly;

 

·

Maintaining Unencumbered Liquid Assets (as defined in the term loan agreement) of not less than (i) $5 million, or (ii) $8 million if we elect to have Line of Credit Availability (as defined in the term loan agreement) included in the calculation, of which $2 million must be cash or cash equivalents, to be tested annually as of December 31 of each year;

 

·

Maintaining a minimum Fair Market Net Worth (as defined in the term loan agreement) of at least $75 million, to be tested annually as of December 31 of each year.

We were in compliance with all of our quarterly debt covenants as of September 30, 2015.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2015, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements other than the one unconsolidated real estate entity which has been disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Cash Flows

Comparison of the Nine months ended September 30, 2015 to the Nine months ended September 30, 2014

Net cash provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $13.7 million to $31.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $17.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The increase was primarily attributable to the incremental cash flows from property acquisitions completed after January 1, 2014, the increase in Cash NOI from our Same Properties Portfolio and fluctuations in working capital.

Net cash used in investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $76.0 million to $164.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $240.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to the $85.5 million decrease in cash paid for property acquisitions for comparable periods and proceeds of $13.8 million from the early repayment of the Calle Perfecto Note in August 2015, partially offset by net proceeds of $15.4 million received from property dispositions during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and an increase in cash paid for construction and development projects of $7.2 million for comparable periods.

Net cash provided by financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $129.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and consists primarily of net proceeds of $176.3 million from the issuance of 11.5 million shares of common stock and proceeds of $100 million from the issuance of guaranteed senior notes, partially offset by the repayment of two

secured loans aggregating $91.3 million, the repayment of $25.0 million of net borrowings on our Revolver and the payment of $19.4 million in dividends and distributions. Net cash provided by financing activities was $273.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and consists primarily of net proceeds of $221.8 million from the issuance of 17.25 million shares of common stock, and the receipt of $148.5 million from two term loan borrowings, partially offset by the repayment of $81.4 million of net borrowings on our Revolver and the payment of $12.9 million in dividends and distributions.

 

 

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. A key market risk we face is interest rate risk. We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of debt used to satisfy various short-term and long-term liquidity needs, which bears interest at variable rates.  We use interest rate swaps to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings.  Because actual interest rate movements over time are uncertain, our swaps pose potential interest rate risks, notably if interest rates fall.  We also expose ourselves to credit risk, which we attempt to minimize by contracting with highly-rated banking financial counterparties. For a summary of our outstanding variable-rate debt, see Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources. For a summary of our interest rate swaps, see Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements.

As of September 30, 2015, we have a $60.0 million variable-rate term loan, which has been effectively fixed through the use of two interest rate swaps, each with a notional value of $30.0 million.  The first interest rate swap, which is effective for the period from January 15, 2015 to February 15, 2019, currently fixes the annual interest rate payable at 3.726%.  The second interest rate swap, which is effective for the period from July 15, 2015 to February 15, 2019, currently fixes the annual interest rate payable at 3.91%.

An additional $50.0 million of our $100.0 million Term Loan Facility has been effectively fixed through the use of an interest rate swap for the period from August 14, 2015 to December 14, 2018, at an annual interest rate payable of 1.79%, plus an applicable margin under the terms of our Term Loan Credit Facility.  We have a second forward interest rate swap that will effectively fix the remaining $50 million from February 16, 2016 to December 14, 2018, at an annual interest rate payable of 2.005% plus an applicable margin on our Term Loan Facility,

At September 30, 2015, we had total consolidated indebtedness of $335.9 million, excluding unamortized deferred loan fees and net debt premiums aggregating $0.8 million.  Of this total, $218.4 million, or 65%, had an interest rate that was effectively fixed under the terms of the loan or an interest rate swap.  The remaining $117.5 million, or 35%, comprises our variable-rate debt. Based upon the amount of variable-rate debt outstanding as of September 30, 2015, if LIBOR were to increase by 50 basis points, the increase in interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease our future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.6 million annually.  If LIBOR were to decrease by 50 basis points, the decrease in interest expense on our variable-rate debt would be approximately $0.2 million annually.

Interest risk amounts are our management’s estimates and were determined by considering the effect of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. We calculate interest sensitivity by multiplying the amount of variable rate debt outstanding by the respective change in rate. The sensitivity analysis does not take into consideration possible changes in the balances or fair value of our floating rate debt.  These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures  

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Security and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2015, the end of the period covered by this report.

Based on the foregoing, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No changes to our internal control over financial reporting were identified that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
