EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2015 of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), and First Industrial, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"). Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our" and "us" refer to the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The Company is a real estate investment trust and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. At September 30, 2015, the Company owned an approximate 96.2% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 3.8% common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are owned by certain limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company exercises exclusive and complete discretion over the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management and control and can cause it to enter into certain major transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions, and refinancings. The management of the Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership.
The Company and the Operating Partnership are managed and operated as one enterprise. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. The Company has no significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and its operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Operating Partnership are substantially the same.
We believe it is important to understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Company and the Operating Partnership operate as an interrelated, consolidated company. The main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership are:
Stockholders’ Equity, Noncontrolling Interest and Partners’ Capital. The 3.8% equity interest in the Operating Partnership held by entities other than the Company are classified within partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements and as a noncontrolling interest in the Company's financial statements.
Relationship to Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, though operations are also conducted through eight other limited partnerships, which are referred to as the “Other Real Estate Partnerships." The Operating Partnership is a limited partner, holding at least a 99% interest, and the Company is a general partner, holding at least a .01% general partnership interest through eight separately wholly-owned corporations, in each of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Other Real Estate Partnerships are variable interest entities that both the Company and the Operating Partnership consolidate. The Company's direct general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnerships is reflected as noncontrolling interest within the Operating Partnership's financial statements.
Relationship to Service Subsidiary. The Company has a direct wholly-owned subsidiary that does not own any real estate but provides services to various other entities owned by the Company. Since the Operating Partnership does not have an ownership interest in this entity, its operations are reflected in the consolidated results of the Company but not the Operating Partnership. Also, this entity owes certain amounts to the Operating Partnership, which a receivable is included on the Operating Partnership’s balance sheet but is eliminated on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet since both this entity and the Operating Partnership are fully consolidated by the Company.
We believe combining the Company’s and Operating Partnership’s quarterly reports into this single report results in the following benefits:
enhances investors' understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling them to view the business as a whole and in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports; and
eliminates duplicative disclosures and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation for our investors to review since a substantial portion of the Company’s disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership.
To help investors understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report provides the following separate disclosures for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:
consolidated financial statements;
a single set of consolidated notes to such financial statements that includes separate discussions of each entity’s stockholders’ equity or partners’ capital, as applicable; and
a combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section that includes distinct information related to each entity.
This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibits 31 and 32 certifications for the Company and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that the Company and the Operating Partnership are both compliant with Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

FIRST INDUSTRIAL REALTY TRUST, INC. AND FIRST INDUSTRIAL, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands except per share/Unit data)
1. Organization
First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company") is a self-administered and fully integrated real estate company which owns, manages, acquires, sells, develops and redevelops industrial real estate. The Company is a Maryland corporation organized on August 10, 1993 and a real estate investment trust ("REIT") as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our" and "us" refer to the Company and its subsidiaries, including its operating partnership, First Industrial, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), and its consolidated subsidiaries.
We began operations on July 1, 1994. The Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership, of which the Company is the sole general partner, with an approximate 96.2% ownership interest at September 30, 2015, and through its taxable REIT subsidiaries. We also conduct operations through eight other limited partnerships (the "Other Real Estate Partnerships") and limited liability companies ("LLCs"), the operating data of which, together with that of the Operating Partnership and the taxable REIT subsidiaries, is consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein. The Operating Partnership holds at least a 99% limited partnership interest in each of Other Real Estate Partnerships. The general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships are separate corporations, wholly-owned by the Company, each with at least a .01% general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Other Real Estate Partnerships' operating data is presented herein on a consolidated basis. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not have any significant assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership and its 100% ownership interest in the general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. Noncontrolling interest of approximately 3.8% at September 30, 2015 represents the aggregate partnership interest in the Operating Partnership held by the limited partners thereof. 
Profits, losses and distributions of the Operating Partnership, the LLCs and the Other Real Estate Partnerships are allocated to the general partner and the limited partners or the members, as applicable, of such entities in accordance with the provisions contained within their respective organizational documents.
We also provide various services to two joint ventures (the "2003 Net Lease Joint Venture" and the "2007 Europe Joint Venture," collectively the "Joint Ventures"). Our noncontrolling equity ownership interests in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture and 2007 Europe Joint Venture are 15% and 10%, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture sold its last remaining industrial property comprising approximately 0.8 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). At September 30, 2015, the 2007 Europe Joint Venture did not own any properties. The Joint Ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
As of September 30, 2015, we owned 629 industrial properties located in 25 states, containing an aggregate of approximately 63.9 million square feet of GLA. Of the 629 properties owned on a consolidated basis, none of them are directly owned by the Company.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's and the Operating Partnership's respective annual reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 ("2014 Forms 10-K") and should be read in conjunction with such consolidated financial statements and related notes. The 2014 year end consolidated balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q filing was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements in our respective 2014 Forms 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Operating Partnership's 2014 year end consolidated balance data has also been adjusted as a result of the adoption of the recent consolidation accounting pronouncement (discussed hereafter). The following notes to these interim consolidated financial statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the December 31, 2014 audited consolidated financial statements included in our respective 2014 Forms 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In order to conform with GAAP, in preparation of our consolidated financial statements we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the

15



results of our operations and comprehensive income for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and our cash flows for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014; all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2014 financial statements to conform to the 2015 presentation.
Discontinued Operations
Effective January 1, 2015, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-08, "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity" ("ASU 2014-08") for all properties not previously sold. ASU 2014-08 revised the reporting requirements to only allow a component of an entity, or group of components of an entity, to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.  Going forward, we expect the majority of our property dispositions will not qualify as discontinued operations and the results of the dispositions, including the gain on sale of real estate, will be presented in Income from Continuing Operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2015-02, "Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis" (“ASU 2015-02”). ASU 2015-02 updates consolidation guidance for legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability companies and securitization structures in an attempt to simplify consolidation accounting. ASU 2015-02 eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships are variable interest entities ("VIE") or voting interest entities ("VOE") and adds requirements that limited partnerships must meet to qualify as VOEs. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted.
Since formation of each Other Real Estate Partnership, the Company, which wholly-owns the corporations that act as general partner of each Other Real Estate Partnership and is also the general partner of the Operating Partnership, which holds at least a 99% limited partnership interest in each of the Other Real Estate Partnership, has fully consolidated the financial information of the Other Real Estate Partnerships within its financial statements. The Operating Partnership has in the past accounted for each of the Other Real Estate Partnerships under the equity method of accounting based on the VOE classification and the presumption that the corporations owned by the Company that act as the general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships controlled the partnerships. However, under ASU 2015-02, the Operating Partnership determined that each Other Real Estate Partnership meets the criteria of a VIE and that it is the primary beneficiary for each Other Real Estate Partnership. As a result, the Operating Partnership has concluded that it should cease accounting for the Other Real Estate Partnerships under the equity method of accounting and consolidate the financial information of the Other Real Estate Partnerships within its financial statements.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Operating Partnership elected early adoption of ASU 2015-02. The election is a full retrospective adoption approach which requires previously reported periods to be restated. The impact of this adoption on the Operating Partnership's previously reported periods is as follows:

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" ("ASU 2015-03"), which amends the current presentation of debt issuance costs in the financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts, instead of as an asset. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those good or services. Most significantly for the real estate industry, leasing transactions are not within the scope of the new standard. A majority of our tenant-related revenue is recognized pursuant to lease agreements. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. As a result, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.
3. Investment in Real Estate

Real Estate Held for Sale
At September 30, 2015, we had seven industrial properties comprising approximately 0.3 million square feet of GLA held for sale. There can be no assurance that the industrial properties held for sale will be sold.
Sales and Discontinued Operations
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we sold 15 industrial properties comprising approximately 1.0 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels. Gross proceeds from the sales of the industrial properties and several land parcels were approximately $50,060. The gain on sale of real estate was approximately $13,084.
The industrial properties sold prior to January 1, 2015 that met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations are presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 reflects the results of operations of the 29 industrial properties that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2014 and the gain on sale of real estate relating to 20 industrial properties that were sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Mortgage Loans Payable, Net
As of September 30, 2015, mortgage loans payable are collateralized, and in some instances cross-collateralized, by industrial properties with a net carrying value of $722,430. We believe the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to mortgage loans payable as of September 30, 2015.

Unsecured Term Loans
On September 11, 2015, we entered into a seven-year, $260,000 unsecured loan (the "Unsecured Term Loan II"; together with the Unsecured Term Loan I (as described in Note 9), the "Unsecured Term Loans") with a syndicate of financial institutions. The Unsecured Term Loan II requires interest only payments and bears interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR, as defined in the loan agreement, plus a specified spread based on our leverage ratio or credit ratings. We also entered into interest rate protection agreements, with an aggregate notional value of $260,000, to effectively convert the variable rate to a fixed rate. See Note 9 for more information on the interest rate protection agreements.
Unsecured Credit Facility
On March 10, 2015, we amended and restated our $625,000 revolving credit agreement (the "Old Credit Facility") with a new $625,000 revolving credit agreement (as amended and restated, the "Unsecured Credit Facility"). We have the right to request that the borrowing capacity under the Unsecured Credit Facility be increased to $900,000, subject to certain restrictions. The amendment extended the maturity date from September 29, 2017 to March 11, 2019 with an option to extend an additional one year at our election, subject to certain restrictions. At September 30, 2015, the Unsecured Credit Facility provides for interest only payments at LIBOR plus 115 basis points. The interest rate on the Unsecured Credit Facility varies based on our leverage ratio.

The Unsecured Credit Facility, the Unsecured Term Loans and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes contain certain financial covenants, including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Under the Unsecured Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loans, an event of default can occur if the lenders, in their good faith judgment, determine that a material adverse change has occurred which could prevent timely repayment or materially impair our ability to perform our obligations under the loan agreements. We believe that the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to the Unsecured Credit Facility, Unsecured Term Loans and indentures governing our senior unsecured notes as of September 30, 2015. However, these financial covenants are complex and there can be no assurance that these provisions would not be interpreted by our lenders and noteholders in a manner that could impose and cause us to incur material costs.

The fair values of our mortgage loans payable were determined by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made based upon similar remaining maturities. The current market rates we utilized were internally estimated. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes were determined by using rates, as advised by our bankers, that are based upon recent trades within the same series of the senior unsecured notes, recent trades for senior unsecured notes with comparable maturities, recent trades for fixed rate unsecured notes from companies with profiles similar to ours, as well as overall economic conditions. The fair value of the Unsecured Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loans was determined by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining term, assuming no repayment until maturity. We have concluded that our determination of fair value for each of our mortgage loans payable, senior unsecured notes, Unsecured Term Loans and Unsecured Credit Facility was primarily based upon Level 3 inputs.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified to earnings through interest expense over the life of the derivative or over the life of the debt. In the next 12 months, we expect to amortize approximately $425 into net income by increasing interest expense for interest rate protection agreements we settled in previous periods. Additionally, recurring settlement amounts on the Group I Swaps and Group II Swaps, as defined in Note 9, will also be reclassified to net income. See Note 9 for more information about our derivatives.
