Disposition activity allows the Company to, among other things, (1) reduce its
holdings in certain markets and product types within
a market consistent with the Company's strategy; (2) lower the average age of
the portfolio; (3) optimize the cash proceeds from the sale of certain assets;
and (4) obtain funds for investment activities. During the three months ended
June 30, 2012, the Company realized proceeds of $208.6 million from the sale of
54 operating properties representing 2.7 million square feet and 58 acres of
land. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company realized proceeds
of $215.1 million from the sale of 56 operating properties representing 2.8
million square feet and 58 acres of land. For 2012, the Company anticipates that
wholly owned property dispositions will range from $250 million to $350 million.
Development
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company brought into
service one Wholly Owned Property under Development representing 128,000 square
feet and a Total Investment of $6.6 million. During the three months ended

million and $70 million and that during 2012 it will commence development on
properties with an expected aggregate Total Investment in a range from $200
million to $300 million.

(1) Net rent represents the contractual rent per square foot at June 30, 2012 or
2011 for tenants in occupancy. Net rent does not include the tenant's obligation
to pay property operating expenses and real estate taxes. If a tenant at
June 30, 2012 or 2011 was within a free rent period its rent would equal zero
for the purposes of this metric.
(2) Straight line rent and operating expense reimbursement represents the
straight line rent including operating expense recoveries per square foot at
June 30, 2012 or 2011 for tenants in occupancy.
Geographic segment data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and
2011 are included in Note 6 to the Company's financial statements.
Forward-Looking Statements
When used throughout this report, the words "believes," "anticipates,"
"estimates" and "expects" and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Such statements indicate that assumptions have been
used that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual financial results or management plans and objectives to differ materially
from those projected or expressed herein, including: the effect of global,
national and regional economic conditions; rental demand; the Company's ability
to identify, and enter into agreements with suitable joint venture partners in
situations where it believes such arrangements are advantageous; the Company's
ability to identify and secure additional properties and sites, both for itself
and the joint ventures to which it is a party, that meet its criteria for
acquisition or development; the effect of prevailing market interest rates;
risks related to the integration of the operations of entities that we have
acquired or may acquire; risks related to litigation; and other risks described
from time to time in the Company's filings with the SEC. Given these
uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2011 for a discussion of critical accounting policies which include
capitalized costs, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts,
impairment of real estate, intangibles and investments in unconsolidated joint
ventures. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, there were no material
changes to these policies.
Results of Operations
The following discussion is based on the consolidated financial statements of
the Company. It compares the results of operations of the Company for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2012 with the results of operations of the Company
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. As a result of the varying
levels of development, acquisition and disposition activities by the Company in
2012 and 2011, the overall operating results of the Company during such periods
are not directly comparable. However, certain data, including the Same Store
comparison, do lend themselves to direct comparison.
This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report.
Comparison of Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 to Three and Six Months
Ended June 30, 2011
Overview
The Company's average gross investment in operating real estate owned for the
three months ended June 30, 2012 increased to $4,985.8 million from $4,682.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. This increase in operating
real estate resulted in increases in rental revenue, operating expense
reimbursement, rental property expenses, real estate taxes and depreciation and
amortization expense. Rental property expense includes utilities, insurance,
janitorial, landscaping, snow removal and other costs necessary to maintain a
property. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company's average gross
investment in operating real estate owned increased to $4,975.4 million from
$4,671.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This increase in
operating real estate resulted in increases in rental revenue, operating expense
reimbursement, rental property expenses, real estate taxes and depreciation and
amortization expense.
Total operating revenue increased to $169.2 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2012 from $164.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The
$4.8 million increase was primarily due to an increase in rental income, which
was primarily due to the increase in average gross investment in operating real
estate. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in termination fees,
which totaled $593,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1.6
million for the same period in 2011. Total operating revenue increased to $338.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $330.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2011. The $8.6 million increase was primarily due to an
increase in rental income, which was primarily due to the increase in average
gross investment in operating real estate as well as an increase in termination
fees, which totaled $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as
compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2011.
Termination fees are fees that the Company agrees to accept in consideration for
permitting certain tenants to terminate their leases prior to the contractual
expiration date. Termination fees are included in rental revenue and if a
property is sold, related termination fees are included in discontinued
operations. See "Other" below.
Segments
The Company evaluates the performance of the Wholly Owned Properties in
Operation in terms of net operating income by reportable segment (see Note 6 to
the Company's financial statements for a reconciliation of this measure to
income from continuing operations). The following table identifies changes to
net operating income in reportable segments (dollars in thousands):
THREE MONTHS ENDED PERCENTAGE SIX MONTHS ENDED PERCENTAGE

|
(1) The decrease is primarily due to the sale of a portfolio of properties
during the three months ended June 30, 2012.
(2) The increase is primarily due to an increase in average gross investment in
operating real estate.
Same Store
Property level operating income, exclusive of termination fees, for the Same
Store properties decreased to $112.8 million for the three months ended June 30,
2012 compared to $113.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 on a
straight line basis (which recognizes rental revenue evenly over the life of the
lease), and $111.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to
$112.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 on a cash basis.
Property level operating income, exclusive of Termination Fees, for the Same
Store properties decreased to $226.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
2012 from $227.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, on a straight
line basis, and decreased to $224.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
2012 from $224.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 on a cash basis.
The same store results were affected by one-time reductions in certain operating
expense items during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 that did not
recur during the same period in 2012, decreases in cash and straight line rental
rates and an increase in occupancy. The following details the Same Store
occupancy and rental rates for the respective periods:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
June 30, June 30,
2012 2011 2012 2011
Average occupancy % 92.6 % 91.3 % 92.7 % 91.1 %
Average rental rate - cash basis (1) $ 8.27 $ 8.39 $ 8.32 $ 8.40
Average rental rate - straight line
basis (2) $ 12.01 $ 12.07 $ 12.01 $ 12.06
|
(1) Represents the average contractual rent per square foot for the three or six
months ended June 30, 2012 for tenants in occupancy in Same Store properties.
Net rent does not include the tenant's obligation to pay property operating
expenses and real estate taxes. If a tenant was within a free rent period its
rent would equal zero for purposes of this metric.
(2) Straight line rent and operating expense reimbursement represents the
average straight line rent including operating expense recoveries per square
foot for the three or six months ended June 30, 2012 or 2011 for tenants in
occupancy.
Management generally considers the performance of the Same Store properties to
be a useful financial performance measure because the results are directly
comparable from period to period. Management further believes that the
performance comparison should exclude termination fees since they are more
event-specific and are not representative of ordinary performance results. In
addition, Same Store property level operating income and Same Store cash basis
property level operating income exclusive of termination fees is considered by
management to be a more reliable indicator of the portfolio's baseline
performance. The Same Store properties consist of the 528 properties totaling
approximately 58.2 million square feet owned on January 1, 2011. Acquisitions
and completed development during the year ended December 31, 2011 and the six
months ended June 30, 2012 are excluded from the Same Store properties.
Acquisitions and completed development are included in Same Store when they have
been purchased in the case of acquisitions, and are stabilized in the case of
completed development, prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented
in the comparison. The 62 properties sold during 2011 and the 56 properties sold
during the six months ended June 30, 2012 are also excluded.
Set forth below is a schedule comparing the property level operating income, on a straight line basis and on a cash basis, for the Same Store properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. Same Store property level operating income and cash basis property level operating income are non-GAAP measures and do not represent income before property dispositions, income taxes and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures because they do not reflect the consolidated operations of the Company. Investors should review Same Store results, along with Funds from operations (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below), GAAP net income and cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities when considering the Company's operating performance. Also set forth below is a reconciliation of Same Store property level operating income and cash basis property level operating income to net income (in thousands).

(1) Includes Termination Fees of $110,000 and $644,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and $4,000 and $29,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased to $14.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $13.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2011 and increased to $31.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2012 compared to $29.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. These
increases were primarily due to increases in acquisition-related expenditures,
cancelled project expense, incentive compensation and costs associated with
operating initiatives. General and administrative expenses include salaries,
wages and incentive compensation for general and administrative staff along with
related costs, consulting, marketing, public company expenses, costs associated
with the acquisition of properties and other general and administrative costs.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased to $40.7 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2012 from $38.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011
and increased to $82.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $77.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This increase was primarily due
to the increased investment in operating real estate.
