EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2016 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 June 30, 2016, the Company owned an approximate 96.5% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 3.5% 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 and its subsidiaries. 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 3.5% 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 separate 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, for 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 (the "General Partner"), with an approximate 96.5% ownership interest ("General Partner Units") at June 30, 2016. The Operating Partnership also conducts operations through eight other limited partnerships (the "Other Real Estate Partnerships"), numerous limited liability companies ("LLCs") and certain taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"), the operating data of which, together with that of the Operating Partnership, is consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein. The Operating Partnership holds at least a 99% limited partnership interest in each of the 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 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 in the Operating Partnership of approximately 3.5% ("Limited Partner Units" and together with the General Partner Units, the "Units") at June 30, 2016 represents the aggregate partnership interest held by the limited partners thereof. 
Profits, losses and distributions of the Operating Partnership, the LLCs, the Other Real Estate Partnerships and the TRSs are allocated to the general partner and the limited partners, the members or the shareholders, as applicable, of such entities in accordance with the provisions contained within their respective organizational documents.
As of June 30, 2016, we owned 562 industrial properties located in 24 states, containing an aggregate of approximately 62.9 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). Of the 562 properties owned on a consolidated basis, none of them are directly owned by the Company.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
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 our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 ("2015 Form 10-K") and should be read in conjunction with such consolidated financial statements and related notes. The 2015 year end consolidated balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q filing was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements in our 2015 Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The following notes to these interim consolidated financial statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the December 31, 2015 audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2015 Form 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Use of Estimates
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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. 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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the results of our operations and comprehensive income for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and our cash flows for each of the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015; all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

14



Reclassifications
Interest income, which was included in other income and expense on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, has been reclassified to be included in tenant recoveries and other income to conform to the 2016 presentation.
Deferred Financing Costs
Effective January 1, 2016, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" ("ASU 2015-03"), which amended the presentation of debt issuance costs on a consolidated balance sheet. 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 recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this update. Debt issuance costs related to revolving credit agreements are not within the scope of this new guidance. The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2015-15,"Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements" ("ASU 2015-15"), which expanded upon ASU 2015-03. ASU 2015-15 stated that given the absence of authoritative guidance within 2015-03, the SEC staff would not object to deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset for revolving credit agreements and subsequently amortizing the deferred issuance costs ratably over the term of the arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit agreement. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 was applied retrospectively. See Note 4 for more information about the reclassification of our debt issuance costs. The debt issuance costs related to our unsecured credit facility (the "Unsecured Credit Facility") remain classified as an asset and are included in prepaid expenses and other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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. 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. The FASB has subsequently issued several additional ASUs to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, identifying performance obligations, assessing collectability, presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers, non-cash consideration, contract modifications and completed contracts at transition. These ASUs are 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 these ASUs on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"), which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted. ASU 2016-02 requires the use of a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest period presented in the consolidated financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 intends to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, the classification of certain items on the statement of cash flows, statutory tax withholding requirements and the accounting for forfeitures. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 is not expected to impact our consolidated financial statements.

3. Investment in Real Estate
Acquisitions
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we acquired two industrial properties comprising approximately 0.3 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels. The purchase price of these acquisitions totaled approximately $74,755, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the industrial properties and land parcels. The revenue and net income associated with the acquisition of the industrial properties, since their respective acquisition dates, are not significant for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
The following table summarizes the fair value of amounts recognized for each major class of asset and liability for the industrial properties and land parcels acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2016:

Sales
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we sold 31 industrial properties comprising approximately 2.0 million square feet of GLA. Gross proceeds from the sales of these industrial properties were approximately $100,485. The gain on sale of real estate was approximately $44,026.

(A) The interest rate at June 30, 2016 reflects the interest rate protection agreements we entered into to effectively convert the variable rate to a fixed rate. See Note 10.
(B) The maturity date may be extended an additional year at our election, subject to certain restrictions. Amounts exclude unamortized deferred financing costs of $3,540 and $4,204 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, which are included in prepaid expenses and other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets.
Mortgage Loans Payable, Net
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we assumed a mortgage loan in the amount of $4,513 in conjunction with the acquisition of one industrial property, totaling approximately 0.1 million square feet of GLA. The mortgage loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.35%, principal payments are amortized over 25 years and the loan matures in September 2019. In conjunction with the assumption of the mortgage loan, we recorded a premium in the amount of $529, which will be amortized as an adjustment to interest expense through maturity.
Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, we paid off a mortgage loan in the amount of $57,901.
As of June 30, 2016, mortgage loans payable are collateralized, and in some instances cross-collateralized, by industrial properties with a net carrying value of $670,417. We believe the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to mortgage loans as of June 30, 2016.

Senior Unsecured Notes, Net
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we paid off and retired our 2016 Notes, at maturity, in the amount of $159,679.

The Unsecured Credit Facility, the Unsecured Term Loans (as defined in Note 10) 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 the 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, the Unsecured Term Loans and indentures governing our senior unsecured notes as of June 30, 2016. 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.

(A) The carrying amounts include unamortized premiums and discounts and exclude unamortized deferred financing 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 the 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, the Unsecured Term Loans and the Unsecured Credit Facility was primarily based upon Level 3 inputs.

5. Variable Interest Entities
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Operating Partnership adopted ASU No. 2015-02, "Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis,” which modified the analysis it must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The guidance does not amend the existing disclosure requirements for variable interest entities ("VIEs") or voting interest model entities. The guidance, however, modified the requirements to qualify under the voting interest model. Under the revised guidance, the Other Real Estate Partnerships are variable interest entities of the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership is the primary beneficiary, thus causing the Other Real Estate Partnerships to be consolidated by the Operating Partnership.
In addition, the Operating Partnership is a VIE of the Company under the revised guidance and the Company is the primary beneficiary. Because the Operating Partnership was already consolidated in the balance sheets of the Company, the revised guidance has no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. There were no other legal entities qualifying under the scope of the revised guidance that were consolidated as a result of the adoption. In addition, there were no voting interest entities under prior existing guidance determined to be VIEs under the revised guidance.

6. Stockholders’ Equity of the Company and Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership
Issuance of Shares of Common Stock
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company issued 5,600,000 shares of the Company's common stock in an underwritten public offering. Proceeds to the Company, net of the underwriter's discount, were $124,936. The proceeds were contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for General Partner Units and will be reflected in the financial statements as a general partner contribution.
Conversion of Limited Partner Units into Shares of Common Stock
For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, 10,697 and 10,395 Limited Partner Units, respectively, were converted into an equivalent number of shares of common stock of the Company, resulting in a reclassification of $107 and $100, respectively, of noncontrolling interest to the Company’s stockholders’ equity.

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 $349 into net income by increasing interest expense for interest rate protection agreements we settled in previous periods. Additionally, recurring settlement amounts on the 2014 and 2015 Swaps (as defined in Note 10) will also be reclassified to net income. See Note 10 for more information about our derivatives.

Participating securities include 418,366 and 388,866 of unvested restricted stock or restricted Unit awards outstanding at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which participate in non-forfeitable distributions. Under the two class method, participating security holders are allocated income, in proportion to total weighted average shares or Units outstanding, based upon the greater of net income or common stock dividends or Unit distributions declared.

9. Benefit Plans
Restricted Stock or Restricted Unit Awards
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company awarded 308,373 shares of restricted stock awards to certain employees, which had a fair value of $6,047 on the date such awards were approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. These restricted stock awards were granted based upon the achievement of certain corporate performance goals and generally vest over a period of three years. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company awarded 14,460 shares of restricted stock to non-employee members of the Board of Directors, which had a fair value of $350 on the date of approval. These restricted stock awards vest over a one-year period. The Operating Partnership issued restricted Unit awards to the Company in the same amount for both restricted stock awards.
Compensation expense is charged to earnings over the vesting periods for the restricted stock or restricted Unit awards expected to vest except if the recipient is not required to provide future service in exchange for vesting of such restricted stock or restricted Unit awards. If vesting of a recipient's restricted stock or restricted Unit awards is not contingent upon future service, the expense is recognized immediately at the date of grant. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we recognized $1,590 and $1,250, respectively, of compensation expense related to restricted stock or restricted Unit awards granted to our Chief Executive Officer for which future service was not required.
LTIP Unit Awards
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company granted 254,524 Long-Term Incentive Program ("LTIP") performance units ("LTIP Unit Awards") to certain employees, which had a fair value of $2,561 on the grant date as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation. The LTIP Unit Awards vest based upon the relative total shareholder return ("TSR") of the Company's common stock compared to the TSRs of the MSCI US REIT Index and the NAREIT Industrial Index. The TSR for the LTIP Unit Awards is calculated based on the performance period from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018. Compensation expense is charged to earnings on a straight-line basis over the performance period. At the end of the performance period each participant will be issued shares of the Company's common stock equal to the maximum shares issuable to the participant for the performance period multiplied by a percentage, ranging from 0% to 100%, based on the Company's TSR as compared to the TSRs of the MSCI US REIT Index and the NAREIT Industrial Index. The participant is also entitled to dividend equivalents for shares issued pursuant to vested LTIP Unit Awards. The dividend equivalents represent any common dividends that would have been paid with respect to such issued shares after the grant of the LTIP Unit Awards and prior to the date of settlement. The Operating Partnership issues General Partner Units to the Company in the same amounts for vested LTIP Unit Awards.
Outstanding Restricted Stock or Restricted Unit Awards and LTIP Unit Awards
We recognized $1,507 and $1,506 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and $4,470 and $4,067 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, in amortization related to restricted stock or restricted Unit awards and LTIP Unit Awards. Restricted stock or restricted Unit award and LTIP Unit Award amortization capitalized in connection with development activities was not significant. At June 30, 2016, we had $9,919 in unrecognized compensation related to unvested restricted stock or restricted Unit awards and LTIP Unit Awards. The weighted average period that the unrecognized compensation is expected to be recognized is 1.05 years.
10. Derivatives
Our objectives in using derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our cash flow volatility and exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate protection agreements as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate protection agreements designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
In connection with the originations of the seven-year, $200,000 unsecured loan (the "2014 Unsecured Term Loan") and the seven-year, $260,000 unsecured loan (the "2015 Unsecured Term Loan" and together with the 2014 Unsecured Term Loan, the "Unsecured Term Loans") (See Note 4) , we entered into interest rate protection agreements to manage our exposure to changes in the one month LIBOR rate. The four interest rate protection agreements, which fix the variable rate of the 2014 Unsecured Term Loan, have an aggregate notional value of $200,000, mature on January 29, 2021 and fix the LIBOR rate at a weighted average rate of 2.29% (the "2014 Swaps"). The six interest rate protection agreements, which fix the variable rate of the 2015 Unsecured Term Loan, have an aggregate notional value of $260,000, mature on September 12, 2022 and fix the LIBOR rate at a weighted average rate of 1.79% (the "2015 Swaps"). We designated the 2014 and 2015 Swaps as cash flow hedges.

23



Our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain provisions where if we default on any of our indebtedness, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations subject to certain thresholds. As of June 30, 2016, we had not posted any collateral related to these agreements and were not in breach of any of the agreement provisions. If we had breached these provisions, we could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value.
The following table sets forth our financial liabilities related to the 2014 and 2015 Swaps, which are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2016:

There was no ineffectiveness recorded on the 2014 and 2015 Swaps during the six months ended June 30, 2016. See Note 7 for more information regarding our derivatives.
The estimated fair value of the 2014 and 2015 Swaps was determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated in the fair value to account for potential non-performance risk, including our own non-performance risk and the respective counterparty’s non-performance risk. We determined that the significant inputs used to value the 2014 and 2015 Swaps fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, we are involved in legal actions arising from the ownership of our industrial properties. In our opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, operations or liquidity.
In conjunction with the development of industrial properties, we have entered into agreements with general contractors for the construction of industrial properties. At June 30, 2016, we had three industrial properties totaling approximately 1.0 million square feet of GLA under construction. The estimated total investment as of June 30, 2016 is approximately $77,200. Of this amount, approximately $51,200 remains to be funded. There can be no assurance that the actual completion cost will not exceed the estimated total investment.
12. Subsequent Events
From July 1, 2016 to July 28, 2016, we acquired one industrial property and one land parcel for a purchase price of approximately $14,905, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with such acquisitions.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our" and "us" refer to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries, including First Industrial, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). We intend for such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, and are generally identifiable by use of the words "believe," "expect," "plan," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," "seek," "target," "potential," "focus," "may," "will," "should" or similar words. Although we believe the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained or that results will not materially differ. Factors which could have a materially adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:
changes in national, international, regional and local economic conditions generally and real estate markets specifically;
changes in legislation/regulation (including changes to laws governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts) and actions of regulatory authorities;
our ability to qualify and maintain our status as a real estate investment trust;
the availability and attractiveness of financing (including both public and private capital) and changes in interest rates;
the availability and attractiveness of terms of additional debt repurchases;
changes in our credit agency ratings;
our ability to comply with applicable financial covenants;
our competitive environment;
changes in supply, demand and valuation of industrial properties and land in our current and potential market areas;
difficulties in identifying and consummating acquisitions and dispositions;
our ability to manage the integration of properties we acquire;
potential liability relating to environmental matters;
defaults on or non-renewal of leases by our tenants;

General
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 (the "Code").
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 (the "General Partner"), with an approximate 96.5% ownership interest ("General Partner Units") at June 30, 2016. The Operating Partnership also conducts operations through eight other limited partnerships (the "Other Real Estate Partnerships"), numerous limited liability companies ("LLCs") and certain taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"), the operating data of which, together with that of the Operating Partnership, 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 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 in the Operating Partnership of approximately 3.5% ("Limited Partner Units" and together with the General Partner Units, the "Units") at June 30, 2016 represents the aggregate partnership interest held by the limited partners thereof. 
Profits, losses and distributions of the Operating Partnership, the LLCs, the Other Real Estate Partnerships and the TRSs are allocated to the general partner and the limited partners, the members or the shareholders, as applicable, of such entities in accordance with the provisions contained within their respective organizational documents.
As of June 30, 2016, we owned 562 industrial properties located in 24 states, containing an aggregate of approximately 62.9 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). Of the 562 properties owned on a consolidated basis, none of them are directly owned by the Company.

Management's Overview
We believe our financial condition and results of operations are, primarily, a function of our performance in four key areas: leasing of industrial properties, acquisition and development of additional industrial properties, disposition of industrial properties and access to external capital.
We generate revenue primarily from rental income and tenant recoveries from operating leases of our industrial properties. Such revenue is offset by certain property specific operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities and insurance expenses, along with certain other costs and expenses, such as depreciation and amortization costs and general and administrative and interest expenses. Our revenue growth is dependent, in part, on our ability to: (i) increase rental income, through increasing either or both occupancy rates and rental rates at our properties; (ii) maximize tenant recoveries; and (iii) minimize operating and certain other expenses. Revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries are a significant source of funds, in addition to income generated from gains/losses on the sale of our properties (as discussed below), for our liquidity. The leasing of property, in general, and occupancy rates, rental rates, operating expenses and certain non-operating expenses, in particular, are impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The leasing of property also entails various risks, including the risk of tenant default. If we were unable to maintain or increase occupancy rates and rental rates at our properties or to maintain tenant recoveries and operating and certain other expenses consistent with historical levels and proportions, our revenue would decline. Further, if a significant number of our tenants were unable to pay rent (including tenant recoveries) or if we were unable to rent our properties on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units would be adversely affected.
Our revenue growth is also dependent, in part, on our ability to acquire existing, and develop new industrial properties on favorable terms. We seek to identify opportunities to acquire existing industrial properties on favorable terms, and, when conditions permit, also seek to acquire and develop new industrial properties on favorable terms. Existing properties, as they are acquired, and acquired and developed properties, as they are leased, generate revenue from rental income, tenant recoveries and fees, income from which, as discussed above, is a source of funds for our distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders. The acquisition and development of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The acquisition and development of properties also entails various risks, including the risk that our investments may not perform as expected. For example, acquired existing and acquired and developed new properties may not sustain and/or achieve anticipated occupancy and rental rate levels. With respect to acquired and developed new properties, we may not be able to complete construction on schedule or within budget, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs and delays in leasing the properties. Also, we face significant competition for attractive acquisition and development opportunities from other well-capitalized real estate investors, including publicly-traded REITs and private investors. Further, as discussed below, we may not be able to finance the acquisition and development opportunities we identify. If we were unable to acquire and develop sufficient additional properties on favorable terms, or if such investments did not perform as expected, our revenue growth would be limited and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units would be adversely affected.
We also generate income from the sale of our properties (including existing buildings, buildings which we have developed or re-developed on a merchant basis and land). The gain or loss on, and fees from, the sale of such properties are included in our income and can be a significant source of funds, in addition to revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries. Proceeds from sales are being used to repay outstanding debt and, market conditions permitting, may be used to fund the acquisition of existing, and the acquisition and development of new, industrial properties. The sale of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The sale of properties also entails various risks, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our properties. Further, our ability to sell properties is limited by safe harbor rules applying to REITs under the Code which relate to the number of properties that may be disposed of in a year, their tax bases and the cost of improvements made to the properties, along with other tests which enable a REIT to avoid punitive taxation on the sale of assets. If we are unable to sell properties on favorable terms, our income growth would be limited and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units could be adversely affected.

We utilize a portion of the net sales proceeds from property sales, borrowings under our unsecured credit facility (the "Unsecured Credit Facility") and proceeds from the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional debt and equity securities to refinance debt and finance future acquisitions and developments. Access to external capital on favorable terms plays a key role in our financial condition and results of operations, as it impacts our cost of capital and our ability and cost to refinance existing indebtedness as it matures and to fund acquisitions and developments. Our ability to access external capital on favorable terms is dependent on various factors, including general market conditions, interest rates, credit ratings on our debt, the market’s perception of our growth potential, our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions and the market price of the Company's common stock. If we were unable to access external capital on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units could be adversely affected.
Summary of Significant Transactions During the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016

Results of Operations
The tables below summarize our revenues, property expenses and depreciation and other amortization by various categories for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Same store properties are properties owned prior to January 1, 2015 and held as an in-service property through June 30, 2016 and developments and redevelopments that were placed in service prior to January 1, 2015 or were substantially completed for the 12 months prior to January 1, 2015. Properties which are at least 75% occupied at acquisition are placed in service. Acquisitions that are less than 75% occupied at the date of acquisition, developments and redevelopments are placed in service as they reach the earlier of a) stabilized occupancy (generally defined as 90% occupied), or b) one year subsequent to acquisition or development/redevelopment construction completion. Properties are moved from the same store classification to the redevelopment classification when capital expenditures for a project are estimated to exceed 25% of the undepreciated gross book value of the property. Acquired properties are properties that were acquired subsequent to December 31, 2014 and held as an operating property through June 30, 2016. Sold properties are properties that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2014. (Re)Developments include developments and redevelopments that were not: a) substantially complete 12 months prior to January 1, 2015; or b) stabilized prior to January 1, 2015. Other revenues are derived from the operations of properties not placed in service under one of the categories discussed above, the operations of our maintenance company and other miscellaneous revenues. Other property expenses are derived from the operations of properties not placed in service under one of the categories discussed above, the operations of our maintenance company, vacant land expenses and other miscellaneous regional expenses.
During the period between January 1, 2015 and June 30, 2016, one industrial property, comprising approximately 0.2 million square feet of GLA, was taken out of service with the intention of demolishing the industrial property and developing a new industrial property. As a result of taking the industrial property out of service, the industrial property was reclassified from the same store classification to the other classification. During the first quarter of 2016, the industrial property was reclassified from the other classification to the (re) developments classification after the industrial property was demolished and we began developing the new industrial property. The newly developed industrial property is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2016 and will return to the same store classification following a complete calendar year of in service classification.

Our future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the future acquisition, development and sale of properties. Our future revenues and expenses may vary materially from historical rates.
