PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. General:
Business. ProLogis, collectively with our consolidated subsidiaries (we, our, us, the Company
or ProLogis), is a publicly held real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns, operates and
develops (directly and through our unconsolidated investees) primarily industrial distribution
properties in North America, Europe and Asia. Our business consists of three reportable business
segments: (i) property operations, (ii) fund management; and (iii) CDFS business. Our property
operations segment represents the direct long-term ownership of industrial distribution and retail
properties. Our fund management segment represents the long-term investment management of property
funds and the properties they own. Our CDFS business segment primarily encompasses our development
or acquisition of real estate properties that are generally contributed to a property fund in which
we have an ownership interest and act as manager, or sold to third parties. See Note 12 for further
discussion of our business segments.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, presented in the
U.S. dollar, are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP). GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our actual results could
differ from those estimates and assumptions. All material intercompany transactions with
consolidated entities have been eliminated.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial information has been prepared according to the
rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations.
Our management believes that the disclosures presented in these financial statements are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading. In our opinion, all adjustments and eliminations,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position
as of March 31, 2007 and our results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March
31, 2007 and 2006 have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The accompanying unaudited interim
financial information should be read in conjunction with our December 31, 2006 Consolidated
Financial Statements, as filed with the SEC in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain amounts included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for 2006 have
been reclassified to conform to the 2007 financial statement presentation.
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes An Interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48) was issued. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The new standard also
provides guidance on various income tax accounting issues, including derecognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The provisions of
FIN 48 were effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2007 and was applied to all tax
positions upon initial adoption. Only tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized upon
adoption of FIN 48. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 is to be reported as
an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for the year of adoption. We adopted the
provisions of FIN 48 and, as a result, we recognized a $9.3 million increase in the liability for
unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of
retained earnings. See Note 5 for more detail.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157
applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements but does
not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for our fiscal year beginning
January 1, 2008. We are currently assessing what impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS 157 will have
on our financial position and results of operations.

PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(Unaudited)
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159
permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value. The provisions of SFAS 159 are effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. We
are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the provisions of SFAS 159 on our financial
position and results of operations.
2. Mergers and Acquisitions:
In February 2007, we purchased the industrial business and made a 25% investment in the retail
business of Parkridge Holdings Limited (Parkridge), a European developer. The total purchase
price was $1.3 billion, which was financed with $740.5 million in cash, the issuance of 4.8 million
common shares (valued for accounting purposes at $71.01 per share for a total of $339.5 million)
and the assumption of $178.9 million in debt and other
liabilities. The assumption of debt includes $113.0 million of
loans made to certain affiliates of Parkridge in November 2006,
which were included in accounts and notes receivable
in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2006. The cash portion of the acquisition was
funded with borrowings under our global senior credit facility (Global Line) and a new $600.0
million senior credit facility (see Note 10 for detail on the new credit facility).
The acquisition included 6.3 million square feet of operating distribution properties,
including 0.7 million square feet of developments under construction, and 706 acres of land,
primarily in Central Europe and the United Kingdom. We allocated the purchase price based on
estimated fair values and recorded approximately $721.2 million of real estate assets, $193.5
million in investments in CDFS joint ventures and other unconsolidated investees, $54.0 million of
cash and other tangible assets and $290.2 million of goodwill and other intangible assets. The
allocation of the purchase price was based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions and,
accordingly, these allocations are subject to revision when final information is available.
Revisions to the fair value allocations, which may be significant, will be recorded as adjustments
to the purchase price allocations in subsequent periods and should not have a significant impact on
our overall financial position or results of operations. The
Parkridge acquisition would not have had a material impact on our
consolidated results of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 and 2006, and as such, we have not presented any
pro forma financial information.
We
may be required to make additional payments to the selling
shareholders over the next several years (primarily through
the issuance of our common shares) of up to £52.3 million (the currency equivalent of $102.8
million at March 31, 2007) upon the successful completion of pending land entitlements or
achievement of certain incremental development profit targets.

Contributions of developed properties to a property fund allow us to realize a portion of the
profits from our development activities while at the same time allowing us to maintain a long-term
ownership interest in our developed properties. This business strategy also provides liquidity to
fund our future development activities and enhances future fee income. The property funds generally
own operating properties that we have contributed to them, although certain of the property funds
have also acquired properties from third parties. We generally receive additional ownership
interests in the property funds as part of the proceeds generated by the contributions of
properties to maintain our ownership interest. We recognize our proportionate share of the earnings
or losses of each property fund, earn fees for acting as the manager, and may earn additional fees
and incentives by providing other services including, but not limited to, acquisition, development,
construction management, leasing and financing activities. We may also earn incentive performance
returns based on the investors returns over a specified period.
On January 4, 2006, we purchased the 80% ownership interests in each of ProLogis North
American Properties Funds II, III and IV (collectively Funds II-IV) from our fund partner. On
March 1, 2006, we contributed substantially all of these assets and associated liabilities to the
ProLogis North American Industrial Fund (the North American Industrial Fund), which was formed in
February 2006 (see below). In connection with these transactions, we recognized the following
amounts in the respective financial statement line items for the three months ended March 31, 2006,
after deferral of $17.9 million due to our then 20% ownership interest in the North American
Industrial Fund (in thousands):

We refer to the combined entities in which we have ownership interests as one property
fund named ProLogis North American Properties Fund V. Our ownership percentage is based on our
ownership interests in these different entities. On April 16, 2007, we entered into an
agreement relating to the proposed acquisition of all of the units in Macquarie ProLogis Trust
(MPR), which owns the remaining interest in ProLogis North American Properties Fund V. See
Note 15 for additional information. |

In February 2006, we formed the North American Industrial Fund. We refer to the combined
entities in which we have ownership interests as one property fund named North American
Industrial Fund. Our ownership percentage is based on our ownership interests in these
different entities. We are committed to offer to contribute substantially all of the
properties we develop and stabilize in Canada and the United States to the North American
Industrial Fund, subject to the property meeting certain leasing and other criteria. The North
American Industrial Fund has equity commitments, which expire in February 2009, aggregating
approximately $1.5 billion from third party investors, of which $1.1 billion was unfunded at
March 31, 2007. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we contributed six buildings for
aggregate proceeds of $102.5 million to the North American Industrial Fund. |

|
In September 2006, ProLogis European Properties (PEPR) completed an initial public offering
(IPO) on the Euronext Amsterdam stock exchange in which the selling unitholders offered 49.8
million ordinary units. In connection with the IPO, we entered into a property contribution
agreement under which we were committed to offer to contribute certain stabilized properties
to PEPR having an aggregate contribution value of
200 million. During the three months
ended March 31, 2007, we contributed 15 properties to PEPR. At March 31, 2007, we had one
remaining property to be contributed to PEPR under this commitment. |
|
(4) |
|
We are committed to offer to contribute all of the properties that we develop and stabilize
in Japan through August 2008 to ProLogis Japan Properties Fund II, subject to the property
meeting certain leasing and other criteria. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we
contributed two properties to this property fund for aggregate proceeds of $227.8 million.
ProLogis Japan Properties Fund II has an equity commitment of $600.0 million from our fund
partner, which expires in August 2008, of which $303.9 million was unfunded at March 31, 2007. |

As of March 31, 2007, we had not guaranteed any of the third party debt of the property
funds. As of December 31, 2006, we had guaranteed $15.0 million of the borrowings of ProLogis
North American Properties Fund V, which were repaid in January 2007 with proceeds from the
issuance of secured debt that we do not guarantee. |

The difference between our ownership interest of the property funds equity and our
investment balance results principally from three types of transactions: (i) deferring a
portion of the proceeds we receive from a contribution of one of our properties to a property
fund as a result of our continuing ownership in the property (see below); (ii) recording
additional costs associated with our investment in the property fund; and (iii) advances to
the property funds. |

|
This amount is recorded as a reduction to our investment and represents the proceeds that
were deferred when we contributed a property to a property fund due to our continuing
ownership in the property. |

CDFS joint ventures and other unconsolidated investees
At March 31, 2007, we had investments in entities that perform some of our CDFS business
activities (the CDFS joint ventures) and investments in other unconsolidated investees. The CDFS
joint ventures include entities that develop and own distribution properties and also include
entities that perform land, multi-use, retail and residential development activity. The other
unconsolidated investees primarily include entities that own a hotel property and office
properties.
The amounts we have recognized as our proportionate share of the earnings (or losses) from our
investments in CDFS joints ventures and other unconsolidated investees are summarized as follows

4. Long-Term Compensation:
We account for share based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, Share Based
Payment, which we adopted January 1, 2006, utilizing the modified retrospective transition method.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we recognized $8.9 million and $4.2 million
of compensation expense, respectively. This includes expense related to awards granted to our
outside trustees and is net of $2.5 million and $1.5 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively, that
was capitalized due to our development and leasing activities. The share based compensation expense
recognized in 2007 also includes $4.2 million of expense related to accelerated vesting of share
options and awards of employees who terminated employment with us in March 2007.
Our long-term incentive plans provide for grants of share options, stock appreciation rights,
full value awards and cash incentive awards to employees and other persons, including outside
trustees. As of March 31, 2007, we have the following awards outstanding:
Share Options
We have granted various share options to our employees and trustees, subject to certain
conditions. Each share option is exercisable into one common share. The holders of share options
granted before 2001 earn dividend equivalent units (DEUs) each year until the earlier of the date
the underlying share option is exercised or the expiration date of the underlying share option.
Share options granted to employees generally have graded vesting over a four-year period and have
an exercise price equal to the market price on the date of grant. Share options granted to
employees since September 2006 have an exercise price equal to the closing market price of our
common stock on the date at grant. Prior to September 2006, the exercise price was based on the
average of the high and low prices on the date of grant. Share
12
PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(Unaudited)
options granted to our outside trustees generally vest immediately. Share options are valued
at grant date using a Black-Scholes pricing model and compensation expense is recognized over the
vesting period.
Full Value Awards
Restricted Share Units
Restricted share units (RSUs), are granted at a rate of one common share per RSU to our
employees. The RSUs are valued based upon the market price of a common share on grant date. We
recognize the value of the RSUs granted as compensation expense over the applicable vesting period,
which generally is four or five years. In addition, annually we issue fully vested deferred share
units to our trustees, which are expensed at the time of grant.
Contingent Performance Shares and Performance Share Awards
Certain employees are granted contingent performance shares (CPSs) and performance share
awards (PSAs). The CPSs are earned based on our ranking in a defined subset of companies in the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREITs) published index. These CPSs
generally vest over a three-year period and the recipient must continue to be employed by us until
the end of the vesting period. The amount of CPSs to be issued will be based on our ranking at the
end of the three-year performance period, and may range from zero to twice the targeted award, or a
maximum of 568,000 shares at March 31, 2007. For purposes of calculating compensation expense, we
consider the CPSs to have a market condition and therefore we have estimated the grant date fair
value of the CPSs using a pricing valuation model. We recognize the value of the CPSs granted as
compensation expense utilizing the grant date fair value and the target shares over the vesting
period.
There were grants of PSAs through December 31, 2005 based on performance criteria, established
in advance, for each employee eligible for the grant. If a PSA is earned based on the performance
criteria, the recipient must continue to be employed by us until the end of the vesting period
before any portion of the grant is vested, generally two years. The PSAs are valued based upon the
market price of a common share on grant date. We recognize the value of the PSAs granted as
compensation expense over the vesting period.
These full value awards carry no voting rights during the vesting period, but do earn DEUs
that are vested according to the underlying award. We account for DEUs as dividends, which are
charged to retained earnings and factored into the computation of the fair value of the underlying
share award at grant date.

5. Income Taxes:
We and one of our consolidated subsidiaries have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the Code), and are not generally required to pay
federal income taxes if we make distributions in excess of taxable income and meet the REIT
requirements of the Code. We have elected taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS) status for certain of our
consolidated subsidiaries, which operate primarily in the CDFS business segment. This enables us to
provide services and enter into certain other types of transactions that would otherwise be
considered impermissible for REITs. We recognize current income tax expense for the federal and
state income taxes incurred by our TRSs and we are taxed in certain states in which we operate. In
addition, many of the foreign countries where we have operations do not recognize REITs or do not
accord REIT status under their respective tax laws to our entities that operate in their
jurisdiction. Accordingly, we recognize income taxes for these jurisdictions, as appropriate. We
also include interest and penalties, if any, associated with our unrecognized tax benefit
liabilities in current income tax expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006,
cash paid for income taxes was $5.4 million and $13.7 million, respectively.
Deferred income tax expense is a function of the periods temporary differences (items that
are treated differently for tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes), the utilization of
tax net operating losses generated in prior years that had been previously recognized as deferred
income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities related to indemnification agreements related
to certain contributions to property funds.
For federal income tax purposes, certain acquisitions have been treated as tax-free
transactions resulting in a carry-over basis for tax purposes. For financial reporting purposes and
in accordance with purchase accounting, we record all of the acquired assets and liabilities at the
estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. For our TRSs, we recognized the deferred income
tax liabilities that represent the tax effect of the difference between the tax basis carried over
and the fair value of the tangible assets at the date of acquisition. As taxable income is
generated in these subsidiaries, we recognize a deferred income tax benefit in earnings as a result
of the reversal of the deferred income tax liability previously recorded at the acquisition date
and we record current income tax expense representing the entire current income tax liability. Any
increases or decreases that result from a change in circumstances in the deferred income tax
liability recorded in connection with these acquisitions will be reflected as an adjustment to
goodwill. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we reduced deferred tax liabilities and
goodwill by $16.3 million.
The statute of limitations for our tax returns is generally three years, with our major tax
jurisdictions being the United States, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom. As such, our tax returns
that remain subject to examination are primarily from 2003 and thereafter, except for Catellus
Development Corporation (Catellus) that we acquired in 2005. Certain 1999 and later federal and
state income tax returns of Catellus are still open for audit or are currently under audit by the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and various state taxing authorities.
As discussed in Note 1, we adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 and, as a
result, we recognized a $9.3 million increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which
was accounted for as a reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. The term
unrecognized tax benefits in FIN 48 refers to the differences between a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit measured and recognized in the financial
statements. The unrecognized tax benefit liability of $176.6 million and $163.4 million, which
included accrued interest of approximately $52.8 million and $45.2 million, at March 31, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, respectively, principally includes estimated federal and state income tax
liabilities associated with acquired companies. Any increases or decreases in the liabilities for
unrecognized tax benefits associated with the potential income taxes related to an acquired company
will be reflected as an adjustment to goodwill recorded as part of the transaction.
6. Discontinued Operations:
Discontinued operations represent a component of an entity that has either been disposed of or
is classified as held for sale if both the operations and cash flows of the component have been or
will be eliminated from ongoing operations of the entity as a result of the disposal transaction
and the entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the
component after the disposal transaction. The results of operations of the component of the
property or a business are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. A
property is classified as held for sale when certain criteria are met. At such time, the respective
assets and liabilities are presented separately on our balance

sheet and depreciation and amortization is no longer recognized. Assets held for sale are
reported at the lower of their carrying amount or their estimated fair value less the estimated
costs to sell the assets.
The operations of the properties disposed of to third parties during 2007 and the aggregate
net gains recognized upon their disposition are presented as discontinued operations in our
Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income for all periods presented. In
addition, the operations of 89 properties disposed of during 2006 (15 of which were CDFS business
assets) are presented as discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006. At
March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had 24 and 8 properties, respectively, that were
classified as held for sale and accordingly, the respective assets and liabilities are presented
separately in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The operations of the properties held for sale at
March 31, 2007 are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented in our
Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. Interest expense included in
discontinued operations represents interest directly attributable to these properties.

Common Share Distributions
Cash distributions of $0.46 per common share for the first quarter of 2007 were paid on
February 28, 2007 to holders of common shares of record on February 14, 2007. Quarterly common
share distributions paid in 2007 are based on the annual distribution level for 2007 of $1.84 per
common share (as compared to $1.60 per common share in 2006) set by our Board of Trustees (Board)
in December 2006. The payment of common share distributions is subject to the discretion of the
Board and is dependent upon our financial condition and operating results, and may be adjusted at
the discretion of the Board during the year.

Preferred Share Dividends
The annual dividends on our cumulative redeemable preferred shares are $4.27 per share (Series
C) and $1.6875 per share (Series F and Series G). For the first quarter of 2007, we paid quarterly
dividends of $1.0675 per share (Series C) and $0.4219 per share (Series F and Series G). Such
dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December.
Dividends on preferred shares are payable when, and if, they have been declared by the Board, out
of funds legally available for the payment of dividends.
8. Earnings Per Common Share:
We determine basic earnings per share based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. We determine diluted earnings per share based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding combined with the incremental weighted average common
shares that would have been outstanding assuming all potentially dilutive instruments were
converted into common shares at the earliest date possible. The following table sets forth the
computation of our basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

consisting of 1.2 million square feet and 1.1 million square feet, respectively. |
|
(3) |
|
Properties under development consisted of 129 properties aggregating 32.6 million square feet
at March 31, 2007 and 114 properties aggregating 30.0 million square feet at December 31,
2006. Our total expected investment upon completion of the properties under development at
March 31, 2007 was approximately $2.4 billion. |
|
(4) |
|
Land held for development consisted of 7,715 acres and 6,204 acres at March 31, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, respectively. |
|
(5) |
|
Other investments include: (i) restricted funds that are held in escrow pending the
completion of tax-deferred exchange transactions involving operating properties; (ii) earnest
money deposits associated with potential acquisitions; (iii) costs incurred during the
pre-acquisition due diligence process; (iv) costs incurred during the pre-construction phase
related to future development projects, including purchase options on land and certain
infrastructure costs; and (v) costs related to our corporate office buildings. |
We directly own real estate assets in North America (Canada, Mexico and the United States),
Europe (Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland,
Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom) and Asia (China, Japan, South Korea and
Singapore).
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we acquired 13 distribution properties
aggregating 2.1 million square feet with a combined purchase price of $153.6 million, excluding the
properties acquired in the Parkridge acquisition discussed in Note 2. During the three months ended
March 31, 2006, we acquired seven distribution properties aggregating 1.5 million square feet with
a combined purchase price of $100.3 million.
For our direct-owned properties, the largest customer and the 25 largest customers accounted
for 2.6% and 20.2%, respectively, of our annualized collected base rents at March 31, 2007.

Our Global Line fluctuates in U.S. dollars based on the underlying currencies and has a total
commitment of $3.5 billion at March 31, 2007. The funds may be drawn under the Global Line in U.S.
dollar, euro, Japanese yen, British pound sterling, Chinese renminbi, South Korean won and Canadian
dollar. The weighted average interest rate represents the weighted average interest rates using
local currency rates on borrowings outstanding at the end of the period. In addition, we also have
other credit facilities with total commitments of $69.0 million at March 31, 2007.
In February 2007 in connection with the Parkridge acquisition, as discussed in Note 2, we
entered into a new $600.0 million multi-currency senior credit facility. This facility fluctuates
in U.S. dollars based on the underlying currencies and the funds may be drawn in U.S. dollar, euro,
Japanese yen and British pound sterling. The outstanding balance is

(Unaudited)
included in senior notes and other unsecured debt above. This debt bears interest at a
variable rate based on LIBOR plus a margin and matures in October 2009. This debt can be repaid at
our option prior to maturity. The facility provides us the ability to re-borrow, within a specified
period of time, any amounts repaid on the facility.
On March 26, 2007, in a private placement, we issued $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount
of 2.25% convertible senior notes due 2037, including the exercise of an over-allotment option
(Convertible Notes). The aggregate net proceeds from this offering, after underwriters
discounts, were approximately $1.23 billion. We used the net proceeds of the offering to repay a
portion of the outstanding balance under our Global Line and for general corporate purposes.
The Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of ProLogis and are convertible, under
certain circumstances, for cash, ProLogis common shares or a combination of cash and ProLogis
common shares, at our option, at a conversion rate of 13.0576 shares per $1,000 of principal amount
of the notes. The initial conversion price of $76.58 represents a premium of 20% over the March 20,
2007 closing price of $63.82 for our common shares. The notes are redeemable at our option
beginning in 2012 for the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and at any time prior
to maturity to the extent necessary to preserve our status as a REIT. Holders of the notes have the
right to require us to repurchase their notes every five years beginning in 2012, and at any time
prior to their maturity upon certain limited circumstances.
We intend to settle the principal balance of the Convertible Notes in cash and, therefore, we
have not included the effect of the conversion of these notes in our computation of diluted
earnings per share. In the event that we determine that we will share settle the principal portion
of the debt, we will assume the conversion of the debt in our computation of diluted earnings per
share, which will result in an adjustment to interest expense and 16.3 million of potentially
dilutive shares. The amount in excess of the principal balance of the notes (the Conversion
Spread) will be settled in cash or, at our option, ProLogis common shares. When the Conversion
Spread becomes dilutive to our earnings per share, (i.e. when our share price exceeds $76.58) we
will include the shares in our computation of diluted earnings per share. The conversion option
associated with the notes, when analyzed as a free standing instrument, meets the criteria to be
classified as equity under the Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-19 Accounting for Derivative
Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys own Common Stock, as
outlined in paragraphs 12-32, and therefore, we have accounted for the debt as a single instrument
and not bifurcated the derivative instrument.
11. Shareholders Equity:
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we sold and/or issued common shares under
various common share plans, including share-based compensation plans, as follows (in thousands):

12. Business Segments:
We have three reportable business segments:
|
|
|
Property operations representing the direct long-term ownership of industrial
distribution and retail properties. Each operating property is considered an individual
operating segment having similar economic characteristics that are combined within the
reportable segment based upon geographic location. Included in this segment are properties
we developed and properties we acquired and rehabilitated or repositioned within the CDFS
business segment with the intention of contributing the property to a property fund or
selling to a third party. All of the costs of our property management function for both our
direct-owned portfolio and the properties owned by the property funds and managed by us are
reported in rental expenses in the property operations segment. Our operations in the
property operations business segment are in North America (Canada, Mexico and the United
States), Europe (properties are located in the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary,
Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden and the United Kingdom and are generally
pending contribution to a property fund or sale to a third party) and Asia (properties are
located in China, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore and in general will be contributed to a
property fund or sold to a third party). |
18
PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(Unaudited)
|
|
|
Fund management representing the long-term investment management of property
funds and the properties they own. We recognize our proportionate share of the earnings or
losses from our investments in unconsolidated property funds operating in North America,
Europe and Asia. Along with the income recognized under the equity method, we include fees
and incentives earned for services performed on behalf of the property funds and interest
earned on advances to the property funds, if any. We utilize our leasing and property
management expertise to efficiently manage the properties and the funds, and we report the
costs as part of rental expenses in the property operations segment. Each investment in a
property fund is considered to be an individual operating segment having similar economic
characteristics that are combined within the reportable segment based upon geographic
location. Our operations in the fund management segment are in North America (Mexico and the
United States), Europe (Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the
Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom), and Asia (Japan). |
|
|
|
|
CDFS business primarily encompasses our development of real estate properties
that are subsequently contributed to a property fund in which we have an ownership interest
and act as manager, or sold to third parties. Additionally, we acquire properties with the
intent to rehabilitate and/or reposition the property in the CDFS business segment prior to
being contributed to a property fund. We engage in mixed-use development activities
generally with the intention of selling the land or completed projects to third parties. We
also have investments in several unconsolidated entities that perform development activities
and we include our proportionate share of their earnings or losses in this segment.
Additionally, we include fees earned for development activities performed on behalf of
customers or third parties, interest income earned on notes receivable related to asset
sales and gains on the disposition of land parcels, including land subject to ground leases.
The separate activities in this segment are considered to be individual operating segments
having similar economic characteristics that are combined within the reportable segment
based upon geographic location. Our CDFS business segment operations are in North America
(Canada, Mexico and the United States), Europe (Belgium, the Czech Republic, France,
Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden and the
United Kingdom) and Asia (China, Japan and South Korea). |
The assets of the CDFS business segment generally include our properties under development,
land held for development and investments in and advances to CDFS joint ventures. During the period
between the completion of development, rehabilitation or repositioning of a property and the date
the property is contributed to a property fund or sold to a third party, the property and its
associated rental income and rental expenses are included in the property operations segment
because the primary activity associated with the property during that period is leasing. Upon
contribution or sale, the resulting gain is included in the income of the CDFS business segment.
The assets of the fund management segment include our investments in and advances to the
unconsolidated property funds.
We present the operations and net gains associated with properties sold to third parties
generally as discontinued operations. In addition, as of March 31, 2007, we had 24 properties
classified as assets held for sale, whose operations are included in discontinued operations.
Accordingly, these amounts are excluded from the segment presentation. See Note 6.
Reconciliations are presented below for: (i) each reportable business segments revenue from
external customers to our total revenues; (ii) each reportable business segments net operating
income from external customers to our earnings before minority interest; and (iii) each reportable
business segments assets to our total assets. Our chief operating decision makers rely primarily
on net operating income and similar measures to make decisions about allocating resources and
assessing segment performance. The applicable components of our revenues, earnings before minority
interest and assets, excluding discontinued operations, are allocated to each reportable business
segments revenues, net operating income and assets. Items that are not directly assignable to a
segment, such as certain corporate income and expenses, are reflected as reconciling items. The
following reconciliations are presented in thousands:

(1) |
|
The foreign currency put option contracts are paid in full at execution and are related to
our operations in Europe and Japan. These contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting
treatment and are marked-to-market through results of operations at the end of each period. We
recognized a net loss of $0.1 million in earnings for both the three months ended March 31,
2007 and 2006. |
|
(2) |
|
The foreign currency forward contracts are designed to manage the foreign currency
fluctuations of intercompany loans. These contracts allow us to sell pounds sterling and euros
at a fixed exchange rate to the U.S. dollar. These contracts are not designated as hedges, are
marked-to-market through earnings and are substantially offset by the remeasurement gains and
losses recognized on the intercompany loans over the term of the loan. During the three months
ended March 31, 2007, we recognized a net loss of $2.8 million in earnings. |
|
(3) |
|
During 2007, we entered into several contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $500.0
million associated with an anticipated debt issuance. All of these contracts were designated
as cash flow hedges and qualified for hedge accounting treatment, which allowed us to fix a
portion of the interest rate associated with the anticipated issuance of senior notes (see
Note 10). In March 2007, we unwound the contracts, recognized a decrease in value of $1.4
million associated with these contracts in other comprehensive income and began amortizing as
an increase to interest expense as interest payments are made on the senior notes. |
15. Subsequent Event:
On April 16, 2007, we entered into an agreement relating to a proposed acquisition of all of
the units in MPR, an Australian listed property trust that has an
88.7% ownership interest in ProLogis
North American Properties Fund V. The completion of the transaction is subject to a number of
conditions, including the approval of MPR unitholders. The estimated time frame for the formal vote
of the unitholders is late June or early July 2007. If approved and completed, based on the offer
price of A$1.43 (approximately $1.20) per outstanding unit, the cash
consideration is A$1.2 billion (or approximately
$1.0 billion). The total consideration, including
assumed debt and transaction costs, is estimated to be approximately $1.9 billion. We have
obtained a commitment from a bank to provide financing of the cash portion of the proposed
acquisition. Upon completion of this transaction, we will own 100% of ProLogis North American
Properties Fund V (see Note 3).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
ProLogis:
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of ProLogis and subsidiaries as of
March 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of cash
flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of ProLogis management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying
analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective
of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the
consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of ProLogis and subsidiaries as of December
31, 2006, and the related Consolidated Statements of Earnings, shareholders equity and
comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our
report dated February 27, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial
Statements and the related notes included in Item 1 of this report and our 2006 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
Certain statements contained in this discussion or elsewhere in this report may be deemed
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Words such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, seeks, estimates,
variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements that address operating
performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future
including statements relating to rent and occupancy growth, development activity and changes in
sales or contribution volume of developed properties, general conditions in the geographic areas
where we operate and the availability of capital in existing or new property funds are
forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve
certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although we believe the
expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we
can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained and therefore, actual outcomes and
results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking
statements. Some of the factors that may affect outcomes and results include, but are not limited
to: (i) national, international, regional and local economic climates; (ii) changes in financial
markets, interest rates and foreign currency exchanges rates; (iii) increased or unanticipated
competition for our properties; (iv) risks associated with acquisitions; (v) maintenance of real
estate investment trust (REIT) status; (vi) availability of financing and capital; (vii) changes
in demand for developed properties; and (viii) those additional factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk
Factors of our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms
we, us and our refer to ProLogis and our consolidated subsidiaries.
Managements Overview
We are a self-administered and self-managed REIT that operates a global network of real estate
properties, primarily industrial distribution properties. The primary business drivers across the
globe continue to be the need for greater distribution network efficiency and the growing focus on
global trade. Our focus on our customers expanding needs has enabled us to become the worlds
largest owner, manager and developer of industrial distribution properties.
Our business is organized into three reportable business segments: (i) property operations;
(ii) fund management; and (iii) CDFS business. Our property operations segment represents the
direct long-term ownership of distribution and retail properties. Our fund management segment
represents the long-term investment management of property funds and the properties they own. Our
CDFS business segment primarily encompasses our development or acquisition of real estate
properties that are rehabilitated and/or repositioned, and subsequently contributed to a property
fund in which we have an ownership interest and act as manager, or sold to third parties.
We generate and seek to increase revenues, earnings, funds from operations (FFO), as defined
below, and cash flows through our segments primarily as follows:
|
|
Property Operations Segment We earn rent from our
customers under long-term operating leases, including
reimbursements of certain operating costs, in the distribution
and retail properties that we own directly in North America,
Europe and Asia. We expect to grow our revenue through the
selective acquisition of properties and increases in occupancy
rates and rental rates in our existing properties. Our
strategy is to achieve these increases in occupancy and rental
rates primarily through continued focus on our customers
global needs for distribution space on the three continents in
which we operate and use of the ProLogis Operating System®. |
|
|
|
Fund Management Segment We recognize our proportionate
share of the earnings or losses from our investments in
unconsolidated property funds operating in North America,
Europe and Asia. Along with the income recognized under the
equity method, we include fees and incentives earned for
services performed on behalf of the property funds and
interest earned on advances to the property funds in this
segment. We earn |
25
|
|
fees for services provided to the property funds, such as property management, asset management,
acquisition, financing and development fees. We may earn incentives based on the return provided
to the fund partners. We expect growth in income recognized to come from newly created property
funds and growth in existing property funds. The growth in the existing property funds is
expected to come primarily from additional properties the funds will acquire, generally from us,
and increased rental revenues in the property funds due, in part, to the leasing and property
management efforts from our property operations segment. |
|
|
|
CDFS Business Segment We recognize income primarily from the contributions of
developed, rehabilitated and repositioned properties to the property funds and from
dispositions to third parties. In addition, we: (i) earn fees from our customers or other
third parties for development activities that we provide on their behalf; (ii) recognize
interest income on notes receivable related to asset dispositions; (iii) recognize net gains
from the disposition of land parcels, including land subject to ground leases; and (iv)
recognize our proportionate share of the earnings or losses generated by development joint
ventures in which we have an investment. We expect increases in this segment to come primarily
from the continued development of high-quality distribution and retail properties in our key
markets in North America, Europe and Asia, resulting in the contribution to property funds or
sale to third parties. In addition, we expect to increase our land and other mixed-use
development activities for development management fees and sales to third parties. |
Summary of the three months ended March 31, 2007
The fundamentals of our business continued to be strong in 2007. We increased our net
operating income from our property operations segment to $186.7 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 from $157.0 million from the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily a
result of the growth in our direct-owned operating portfolio, as well as an increase in same store
net operating income (as defined below) for these assets. Our direct-owned operating portfolio
increased due to acquisitions and development of operating properties, offset partially by
dispositions.
Our net operating income from the fund management segment was $40.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $95.0 million for the same period in 2006. In 2006, we
recognized $59.1 million of earnings and incentives associated with the termination of three of the
unconsolidated property funds as further discussed below. Excluding these items in 2006, net
operating income from this segment increased $4.7 million, or 13.1%, due to an increase in the
properties managed by us on behalf of the property funds.
We increased our total operating portfolio of distribution and retail properties owned or
managed, including direct-owned properties, and properties owned by the property funds and CDFS
joint ventures, to 403.4 million square feet at March 31, 2007 from 391.4 million square feet at
December 31, 2006. Our stabilized leased percentage (as defined below) was 95.4% at March 31, 2007,
compared with 95.3% at December 31, 2006. Our same store net operating income increased by 5.6% in
the first three months of 2007 over the same period in 2006 and our same store average occupancy
increased by 3.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006.
Same store rental rates increased 6.9% in the first three months of 2007, compared to the same
period of 2006.
Net operating income of the CDFS business segment increased in the three months ended March
31, 2007 to $238.5 million, compared to $76.6 million for the same period in 2006, due primarily to
increased levels of contributions brought about by increased development activity and higher gains
on the sale of land parcels. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we started development
on projects with a total expected cost at completion of $598.3 million and completed development
projects with a total expected cost of $515.0 million. We believe our strong development and
leasing activity throughout 2006 and into 2007, along with the access to capital through the
property funds, will continue to support increased contribution activity to the property funds.
Key Transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2007
|
|
|
In February 2007, we purchased the industrial business and made a 25%
investment in the retail business of Parkridge Holdings Limited (Parkridge), a
European developer. The total purchase price was $1.3 billion and resulted in the
addition of 6.3 million square feet of operating distribution properties, including 0.7
million square feet under development, and 706 acres of land for |
26
|
|
|
development in the United Kingdom and Central Europe (see Note 2 to our Consolidated
Financial Statements in Item 1). |
|
|
|
|
In March 2007, we issued $1.25 billion 2.25% convertible senior notes
(including the exercise of an over-allotment option) due 2037 (see Note 10 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1). |
|
|
|
|
In the first quarter of 2007, we generated net proceeds of $669.9 million
and gains of $230.9 million from contributions of CDFS properties and sales of land,
excluding discontinued operations. We disposed of seven CDFS and non-CDFS properties
and one parcel of land subject to a ground lease to third parties, which are included
in discontinued operations, generating net proceeds of $116.2 million and resulting in
the recognition of $13.3 million of gains. |
|
|
|
|
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, in addition to the Parkridge
acquisition, we acquired 2.1 million square feet of operating properties with a total
expected investment of $160.1 million, primarily for future contribution to a property
fund or to be held for long-term investment. |
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006

increased gains on sales of land.
Portfolio Information
In the discussion that follows, we present the results of operations by reportable business
segment. See Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for further description of
our segments. Our total operating portfolio of properties includes distribution and retail
properties owned by us and distribution properties owned by the property funds and CDFS joint
ventures. Our operating portfolio also includes properties that were developed or acquired in our
CDFS business segment and are pending contribution to a property fund or disposition to a third
party. The operating portfolio does not include properties under development or any other
properties owned by the CDFS joint ventures, other than distribution properties, and was as follows

Only includes distribution properties owned by the CDFS joint ventures. We include our
wholly owned CDFS properties in the property operations segment (see above). |
The stabilized operating properties owned by us, the property funds and CDFS joint ventures
were 95.4% leased at March 31, 2007, 95.3% leased at December 31, 2006 and 95.2% leased at March
31, 2006. The stabilized properties are those properties where the capital improvements,
repositioning efforts, new management and new marketing programs for acquisitions or the marketing
programs in the case of newly developed properties, have been completed and in effect for a
sufficient period of time to achieve stabilization. A property generally enters the stabilized pool
at the earlier of 12 months from acquisition or completion or when it becomes substantially
occupied, which we generally define as 93.0%.
Same Store Analysis
We evaluate the operating performance of the properties included in each of our three
reportable business segments using a same store analysis because the population of properties in
this analysis is consistent from period to period, thereby eliminating the effects of changes in
the composition of the portfolio on performance measures. We include properties owned directly and
indirectly, by the property funds and by the CDFS joint ventures, in the same store analysis.
Accordingly, we define the same store portfolio of operating properties for each period as those
properties that have been in operation throughout the full period in both the current and prior
year. When a property is disposed of to a third party, it is removed from the population for the
full quarter in which it was disposed and the corresponding period of the prior year. The same
store portfolio aggregated 341.7 million square feet at March 31, 2007.
Same store results were as follows:
|
|
|
Net operating income generated by the same store portfolio (defined for the
same store analysis as rental income, excluding termination and renegotiation fees, less
rental expenses) increased 5.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 over the same
period in 2006, due to a 4.9% increase in rental income, partially offset by a 2.5%
increase in rental expenses. |
|
|
|
|
Average occupancy in the same store portfolio increased 3.6% for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 over the same period in 2006. |
|
|
|
|
The same store portfolios rental rates associated with leasing activity for
space that has been previously leased by us increased for the three months ended March 31,
2007 by 6.9% over the same period in 2006. |
We believe the factors that impact net operating income, rental rates and average occupancy in
the same store portfolio are the same as for the total portfolio. The percentage change presented
is the weighted average of the measure computed separately for us and each property fund and CDFS
joint venture with the weighting based on each entitys proportionate share of the combined
component on which the change is computed. In order to derive an appropriate measure of
period-to-period operating performance, the percentage change computation removes the effects of
foreign currency exchange rate movements by computing each propertys components in that propertys
functional currency.
Rental income computed under GAAP applicable to the properties included in the same store
portfolio is adjusted to remove the net termination and renegotiation fees recognized in each
period. Net termination and renegotiation fees and adjustments excluded from rental income for the
same store portfolio (including properties directly owned and properties owned by the property
funds and CDFS joint ventures) were $(0.4) million and $1.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Net termination and renegotiation fees represent the gross
fee negotiated to allow a customer to terminate or renegotiate their lease, offset by the write-off
of the asset recognized due to the adjustment to straight-line rents over the lease term, if any.
Removing the net termination fees from the same store calculation of rental income allows us to
evaluate the growth or decline in each propertys rental income without regard to items that are
not indicative of the propertys recurring operating performance.
In computing the percentage change in rental expenses, the rental expenses applicable to the
properties in the same store portfolio include property management expenses for our direct-owned
properties. These expenses are
28
based on the property management fee that is provided for in the individual agreements under
which our wholly owned management company provides property management services to each property
(generally, the fee is based on a percentage of revenues). On consolidation, the management fee
income earned by the management company and the management fee expense recognized by the properties
are eliminated and the direct costs of providing property management services are recognized as
part of our rental expenses reported under GAAP.
Operational Outlook
Changes in economic conditions will generally affect customer leasing decisions and absorption
of new distribution properties. Since late 2004, we have experienced strong customer demand and
continued strengthening in occupancies across our global markets. Growth in global trade continues
to support strong market fundamentals, which in turn, supports the acceleration of leasing activity
in our global development pipeline. During the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2007, we
executed 94.2 million square feet of leases, including 27.3 million square feet of initial leasing
activity in new developments and repositioned acquisitions, bringing our stabilized portfolio to
95.4% leased at March 31, 2007. Market rental rates are increasing in most of our markets and we
have experienced positive rental rate growth, in the aggregate, for the past four quarters. As a
result, we expect to continue to see increasing rents in most of our markets. We expect absorption
of available space to continue to be strong throughout 2007. An important fundamental to our
long-term growth is repeat business with our global customers. Historically, approximately half of
the space leased in our newly developed properties is with repeat customers.
Property Operations Segment
The net operating income of the property operations segment consists of rental income and
rental expenses from the distribution and retail operating properties that we own directly. The
costs of our property management function for both our direct-owned portfolio and the properties
owned by the property funds are all reported in rental expenses in the property operations segment.
The net earnings or losses generated by operating properties that were developed or acquired in the
CDFS business segment are included in the property operations segment during the interim period
from the date of completion or acquisition through the date the properties are contributed or sold.
See Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for a reconciliation of net
operating income to earnings before minority interest. The net operating income from the property
operations segment, excluding rental income and rental expenses associated with the properties that
are presented as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Financial Statements, was as follows

Rental income includes net termination and renegotiation fees and rental expense recoveries of
$48.1 million and $43.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The number and composition of operating properties that we own throughout the periods and the
timing of contributions impact rental income and rental expenses for each period. When a property
is contributed to a property fund, we begin reporting our share of the earnings of the property
under the equity method in the fund management segment. However, the overhead costs incurred by us
to provide the management services to the property fund continue to be reported as part of rental
expenses. The increases in rental income and rental expenses, in 2007 over 2006, are due primarily
to the increase in properties owned and increases in the net operating income of the same store
properties we own directly. The increase in the number of properties under management has also
contributed to the increase in rental expenses.
Fund Management Segment
The net operating income of the fund management segment consists of: (i) earnings or losses
recognized under the equity method from our investments in the property funds; (ii) fees and
incentives earned for services performed on behalf of the property funds; and (iii) interest earned
on advances to the property funds, if any. The net earnings or losses of the property funds include
the following income and expense items of the property funds,
29
in addition to rental income and rental expenses: (i) interest income and interest expense;
(ii) depreciation and amortization expenses; (iii) general and administrative expenses; (iv) income
tax expense; (v) foreign currency exchange gains and losses; and (vi) gains on dispositions of
properties. The fluctuations in income we recognize in any given period are generally the result
of: (i) variances in the income and expense items of the property funds; (ii) the size of the
portfolio and occupancy levels in each period; (iii) changes in our ownership interest; and (iv)
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates at which we translate our share of net earnings to
U.S. dollars, if applicable. The costs of the property management function for the properties owned
by the property funds and performed by us are reported in the property operations segment and the
costs of the fund management function are included in our general and administrative expenses. See
Notes 3 and 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for additional information on the
property funds and for a reconciliation of net operating income to earnings before minority
interest.

Represents the income earned by us from our investments in property funds in North America.
We had interests in 10 funds at March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our ownership
interests ranged from 11.3% to 50.0% at March 31, 2007. These property funds on a combined
basis owned 540 and 490 properties at March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. |
|
|
|
In April 2007, we entered into an agreement relating to a proposed acquisition of all of the
units in MPR. See Note 15 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for more details
of this transaction. |
|
|
|
In January 2006, we purchased the 80% ownership interests from our fund partner in Funds II-IV
and subsequently contributed substantially all of the assets and associated liabilities to the
North American Industrial Fund. In connection with this transaction, we earned an incentive
return of $22.0 million and we recognized $37.1 million in income, representing our
proportionate share of the net gain recognized by Funds II-IV upon termination. See Note 3 to
our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for more details of this transaction. |
|

|
Represents the income earned by us from our investment in PEPR. PEPR owned 292 and 271

at March 31, 2007 and 21.2% at March 31, 2006. See Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial
Statements in Item 1 for more information regarding PEPR. |

Represents the income earned by us from our 20% ownership interest in two property funds in
Japan. These two property funds on a combined basis owned 33 and 19 properties at March 31,
2007 and 2006, respectively. |
CDFS Business Segment
Net operating income from the CDFS business segment consists of: (i) gains resulting from the
contributions and dispositions of properties, generally developed by us or acquired with the intent
to rehabilitate and/or reposition; (ii) gains from the dispositions of land parcels, including land
subject to ground leases; (iii) fees earned for development services provided to customers and
third parties; (iv) interest income earned on notes receivable related to property dispositions;
(v) our proportionate share of the earnings or losses of CDFS joint ventures; and (vi) certain
costs associated with the potential acquisition of CDFS business assets and land holding costs. See
Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for a reconciliation of net operating
income to earnings before minority interest.
30
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, our net operating income in this segment was $238.5
million as compared to $76.6 million for the same period in 2006, an increase of $161.9 million.
Net operating income of this segment increased $165.3 million when the gains from CDFS business
transactions recognized as discontinued operations are included. In 2007 and 2006, 15.1% and 45.5%
of the net operating income of this operating segment was generated in North America, 32.1% and
41.9% was generated in Europe and 52.8% and 12.6% was generated in Asia, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we contributed 23 CDFS buildings to the
property funds (six in North America, fifteen in Europe and two in Japan) and one building to
a third party under a pre-sale agreement, compared with 15 buildings contributed during the
same period in 2006 (five in North America, nine in Europe and one in Japan). In addition, we
recognized net gains of $77.9 million and $10.5 million from the disposition of land parcels
during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. |
|
(2) |
|
When we contribute a property to an entity in which we have an ownership interest, we
do not recognize a portion of the proceeds in our computation of the gain resulting from the
contribution. The amount of the proceeds that we defer is based on our continuing ownership interest in the contributed property that
arises due to our ownership interest in the entity acquiring the property. We
defer this portion of the proceeds by recognizing a reduction to our investment in the
applicable unconsolidated investee. We adjust our proportionate share of the earnings or losses that we
recognize under the equity method in later periods to reflect the
entitys depreciation expense as if the depreciation expense was computed on our lower
basis in the contributed property rather than on the entitys basis in the contributed
property. If a loss results when a property is contributed, the entire
loss is recognized when it is known. |
|
|
|
When a property that we originally contributed to an
unconsolidated investee is disposed of to a third
party, we recognize a gain during the period that the disposition
occurs related to the proceeds we had previously deferred, in addition
to our proportionate share of the gain or loss recognized by the
entity. Further, during periods when our ownership interest in a property fund decreases, we
recognize gains to the extent that proceeds were previously deferred to coincide
with our new ownership interest in the property fund. In this regard,
we recognized $12.5 million related to the
termination of Funds II-IV in the first quarter of 2006. |
|
(3) |
|
Amounts include fees we earned for the performance of development activities. The increase
in 2007 is due primarily to increased development management activity in Europe and increased
fees earned on mixed use projects in the United States. |
31
|
|
|
(4) |
|
Amounts represent interest income earned on notes receivable related to previous property
sales. |
|
(5) |

Represents the net earnings or losses we recognized under the equity method from our
investments in CDFS joint ventures. |
|
(6) |
|
Includes land holding costs and charges for previously capitalized pursuit costs related to
potential CDFS business segment projects when the acquisition or development is no longer
probable. |
|
(7) |
|
Includes one land parcel subject to a ground lease that was sold to a third party, during
the three months ended March 31, 2007, and two CDFS business properties aggregating 0.1
million square feet that were sold to third parties, during the three months ended March 31,
2006, that met the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations. |
The level and timing of income generated from the CDFS business segment is dependent on
several factors, including but not limited to: (i) our ability to develop and timely lease
properties; (ii) our ability to acquire properties that eventually can be contributed to property
funds after rehabilitating or repositioning; (iii) our ability to identify and secure sites for
redevelopment; (iv) our ability to generate a profit from these activities; and (v) our success in
raising capital to be used by the property funds to acquire the properties we developed or
repositioned. There can be no assurance we will be able to maintain or increase the current level
of net operating income in this segment. Overall, we believe that the continued demand for
state-of-the-art distribution properties resulted in improved leasing activity, which helps support
our CDFS business segment. We continue to monitor leasing activity and general economic conditions
as it pertains to the CDFS business segment.
Other Components of Income
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $50.1 million and $33.8 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increases in general and administrative expenses
are due primarily to our continued investment in the infrastructure necessary to support our
business growth and expansion into new international markets, the formation of new property funds,
our growing portfolio of properties through acquisitions and the growth in our CDFS business
segment. In addition, we recognized $8.0 million of employee departure costs, including $5.0
million related to the departure of our Chief Financial Officer in March 2007 and $3.0 million
related to employees whose responsibilities became redundant after the acquisition of Parkridge.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $78.8 million and $70.9 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in 2007 over 2006 is due to the
real estate assets and intangible lease assets acquired in acquisitions and, to a lesser extent,
improvements made to the properties in our property operations segment.

The increase in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared with
the same period in 2006, is due to increases in our borrowings, resulting from individual and
portfolio acquisitions, including the
32
Parkridge acquisition, increased development activity and our increased investments in
property funds and CDFS joint ventures, offset somewhat by a decrease in our weighted average
interest rates and additional capitalized interest. The increase in capitalized interest for the
three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared with the same period in 2006, is due to the increase
in our development activities.
Gains Recognized on Dispositions of Certain Non-CDFS Business Assets
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we recognized gains of $13.7 million on the
disposition of 12 properties from our property operations segment to the unconsolidated property
funds. Due to our continuing involvement through our ownership in the property funds, these
dispositions are not included in discontinued operations and the gains recognized represent the
portion attributable to the third party ownership in the property funds that acquired the
properties.
Foreign Currency Exchange Expenses and Losses, Net
We and certain of our foreign consolidated subsidiaries have intercompany or third party debt
that is not denominated in the entitys functional currency. When the debt is remeasured against
the functional currency of the entity, a gain or loss can result. To mitigate our foreign currency
exchange exposure, we borrow in the functional currency of the borrowing entity when appropriate.
Certain of our intercompany debt is remeasured with the resulting adjustment recognized as a
cumulative translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders
equity. This treatment is applicable to intercompany debt that is deemed a permanent source of
capital to the subsidiary or investee. If the intercompany debt is deemed not permanent in nature,
when the debt is remeasured, we recognize a gain or loss in earnings. Additionally, we utilize
derivative financial instruments to manage certain foreign currency exchange risks, including put
option contracts with notional amounts corresponding to a portion of our projected net operating
income from our operations in Europe and Japan and forward contracts designed to manage foreign
currency fluctuations of intercompany loans. See Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements
in Item 1 for more information on our derivative financial instruments.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we recognized net expenses and losses
of $13.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. In 2007, these expenses and losses relate
primarily to losses recognized on our intercompany and third party debt that is remeasured through
earnings and activity from the forward contracts we had in place on our intercompany debt.
Income Taxes
During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, our current income tax expense was
$18.1 million and $13.2 million, respectively. The increase in 2007 over 2006 is due primarily to
increased CDFS disposition income that is taxable in foreign jurisdictions and increased interest
charges on our income tax liabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we recognized
deferred taxes of $3.3 million, compared with $0.2 million in the same period of 2006. See Note 5
to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1.
Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations represent a component of an entity that has either been disposed of or
is classified as held for sale if both the operations and cash flows of the component have been or
will be eliminated from ongoing operations of the entity as a result of the disposal transaction
and the entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the
component after the disposal transaction. The results of operations of the component of the entity
that has been classified as discontinued operations are reported separately as discontinued
operations in the statements of earnings. From time to time, we dispose of properties to third
parties that were previously included in our property operations segment. The results of operations for these
properties, as well as the gain or loss recognized upon disposition, are included in discontinued
operations. In addition, as of March 31, 2007, we had 24 properties classified as held for sale and
therefore, the results of operations of those properties are also included in discontinued
operations. See Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1.
33
Environmental Matters
A majority of the properties acquired by us were subjected to environmental reviews either by
us or the previous owners. While some of these assessments have led to further investigation and
sampling, none of the environmental assessments have revealed an environmental liability that we
believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations.
We record a liability for the estimated costs of environmental remediation to be incurred in
connection with certain operating properties we acquire, as well as, certain land parcels we
acquire in connection with the planned development of the land. The liability is established to
cover the environmental remediation costs, including cleanup costs, consulting fees for studies and
investigations, monitoring costs and legal costs relating to cleanup, litigation defense, and the
pursuit of responsible third parties. We purchase various environmental insurance policies to
mitigate our exposure to environmental liabilities. We are not aware of any environmental liability
that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or
results of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We consider our ability to generate cash from operating activities, contributions and
dispositions of properties and from available financing sources to be adequate to meet our
anticipated future development, acquisition, operating, debt service and shareholder distribution
requirements.
Our credit facilities provide liquidity and financial flexibility, which allows us to
efficiently respond to market opportunities and execute our business strategy on a global basis.
Regular repayments of our credit facilities are necessary to allow us to maintain adequate
liquidity. We anticipate future repayments of the borrowings under our credit facilities will be
funded primarily through cash flow from operations, the proceeds from future property contributions
and dispositions and from proceeds generated by future issuances of debt or equity securities,
depending on market conditions.
On April 16, 2007, we entered into an agreement relating to a proposed acquisition of all of
the units in MPR, an Australian listed property trust that has an
88.7% ownership interest in ProLogis
North American Properties Fund V. The completion of the transaction is subject to a number of
conditions, including the approval of MPR unitholders. The estimated time frame for the formal vote
of the unitholders is late June or early July 2007. If approved and completed, based on the offer
price of A$1.43 (approximately $1.20) per outstanding unit, the cash
consideration is A$1.2 billion (or approximately
$1.0 billion). The total consideration, including
assumed debt and transaction costs, is estimated to be approximately $1.9 billion. We have
obtained a commitment from a bank to provide financing of the cash portion of the proposed
acquisition. Upon completion of this transaction, we will own 100% of ProLogis North American
Properties Fund V.
In addition to common share distributions and preferred share dividend requirements and the
proposed acquisition of all of the units in MPR as discussed above, we expect our primary short and
long-term cash needs will consist of the following for the remainder of 2007 and future years:
|
|
|
development of properties directly and additional investment in joint ventures
in the CDFS business segment; |
|
|
|
|
acquisitions of properties in the CDFS business segment; |
|
|
|
|
acquisitions of land for future development in the CDFS business segment; |
|
|
|
|
direct acquisitions of operating properties and/or portfolios of operating
properties in key distribution markets for direct, long-term investment in the property
operations segment; |
|
|
|
|
capital expenditures on properties; and |
|
|
|
|
scheduled principal and interest payments and repayment of debt that is scheduled to mature. |
34
We expect to fund cash needs for the remainder of 2007 and future years primarily with cash
from the following sources, all subject to market conditions:
|
|
|
property operations; |
|
|
|
|
fees and incentives earned for services performed on behalf of the property funds; |
|
|
|
|
proceeds from the contributions of properties to property funds; |
|
|
|
|
proceeds from the disposition of land parcels and properties to third parties; |
|
|
|
|
borrowing capacity under our Global Line or other credit facilities; |
|
|
|
|
assumption of debt in connection with acquisitions; and |
|
|
|
|
proceeds from the issuance of equity or debt securities, including sales under various common share plans. |
Commitments related to future contributions to Property Funds
We are committed to offer to contribute substantially all of the properties we develop and
stabilize in Canada and the United States to the North American Industrial Fund. The North American
Industrial Fund has equity commitments, which expire in February 2009, aggregating approximately
$1.5 billion from third party investors of which $1.1 billion was unfunded at March 31, 2007.
PEPR completed an initial public offering (IPO) in September 2006 (See Note 3 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for more information regarding the IPO). In connection
with the IPO, we entered into a property contribution agreement under which we are committed to
offer to contribute to PEPR certain stabilized distribution properties having an aggregate
contribution value of 200 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we contributed
15 properties to PEPR. At March 31, 2007, we had one remaining property to be contributed to PEPR
under this commitment.
We are committed to offer to contribute all of our stabilized development properties available
in Japan to ProLogis Japan Properties Fund II through August 2008. ProLogis Japan Properties Fund
II has an equity commitment of $600.0 million from our fund partner, which expires in August 2008,
of which $303.9 million was unfunded at March 31, 2007.
These property funds are committed to acquire such properties, subject to certain exceptions,
including that the properties meet certain specified leasing and other criteria, and that the
property funds have available capital. We believe that, while the current capital commitments and
borrowing capacities of these property funds may be expended prior to the expiration dates of these
commitments, each property fund will have sufficient debt or equity capital to acquire the
properties that we expect to offer to contribute during 2007. Should the property funds choose not
to acquire, or not have sufficient capital available to acquire a property that meets the specified
criteria, the rights under the agreement with regard to that specific property will terminate. We
continually explore our options related to both new and existing property funds to support the
business objectives of our CDFS business segment.
There can be no assurance that if these property funds do not continue to acquire the
properties we have available, we will be able to secure other sources of capital such that we can
contribute or sell these properties in a timely manner and continue to generate profits from our
development activities in a particular reporting period.
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $292.9 million and $162.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operating
activities in 2007 over 2006 is due to the increase in earnings,
adjusted for non-cash items, which is more fully discussed
above, and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash provided by
operating activities exceeded the cash distributions paid on common shares and dividends paid on
preferred shares in both periods.

Cash Investing and Cash Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, investing activities used net cash of $1.0
billion and $677.0 million, respectively. The following is a listing of significant activities for
both periods presented:
|
|
|
In February 2007, we purchased the industrial business and made a 25%
investment in the retail business of Parkridge. The total purchase price was $1.3 billion
of which we paid cash of $740.5 million. See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial
Statements in Item 1 for more details of this transaction. |
|
|
|
|
We invested $1.1 billion in real estate during the three months ended March 31,
2007, excluding the Parkridge acquisition, and $893.3 million for the same period in 2006.
These amounts include the acquisition of operating properties (13 properties and 7
properties with an aggregate purchase price of $153.6 million and $100.3 million in 2007
and 2006, respectively); acquisitions of land for future development; costs for current and
future development projects; and recurring capital expenditures and tenant improvements on
existing operating properties. At March 31, 2007, we had 129 properties aggregating 32.6
million square feet under development, with a total expected investment of $2.4 billion. |
|
|
|
|
We invested cash of $32.9 million and $110.7 million during the three months
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, in new, existing and potential unconsolidated
investees, excluding the Parkridge acquisition. In January 2006, we invested $55.0 million
in a preferred interest in ProLogis North American Properties Fund V, which we subsequently
sold in August 2006. |
|
|
|
|
We received proceeds from unconsolidated investees as a return of investment of
$26.2 million and $8.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. The proceeds in 2007 include $18.7 million received from the liquidation of
an investment in an unconsolidated investee. |
|
|
|
|
We generated net cash from contributions and dispositions of properties and
land parcels of $760.5 million and $540.9 million during the three months ended March 31,
2007 and 2006, respectively. |
|
|
|
|
We invested cash of $259.2 million in connection with the purchase of our fund
partners ownership interests in Funds II-IV during the first quarter of 2006. See Note 3
to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for more details of this transaction. |
|
|
|
|
We generated net cash proceeds from payments on notes receivable related to
dispositions of assets of $53.6 million and $36.9 million during the three months ended
March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. |
For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, financing activities provided net cash
of $796.4 million and $564.3 million, respectively. The following is a listing of significant
activities for both periods presented:
|
|
|
In March 2007, we issued $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 2.25%
convertible senior notes due 2037, in a private placement. We used the net proceeds of the
offering to repay a portion of the outstanding balance under our Global Line and for
general corporate purposes. |
|
|
|
|
On our other debt, we had net borrowings of $435.9 million and $815.3 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In 2007, we received
proceeds of $600.1 million under a new multi-currency senior credit facility that were used
to partially finance the Parkridge acquisition (see Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial
Statements in Item 1). This was partially offset by payments we made on our senior notes,
secured debt and assessment bonds. In 2006, we received proceeds from the issuance of
$850.0 million of senior notes, which were offset slightly by payments made on our senior
notes, secured debt and assessment bonds. |
|
|
|
|
We generated proceeds from the sale and issuance of common shares of $13.5
million and $13.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. |
|
|
|
|
We paid distributions of $117.8 million and $97.7 million to our common
shareholders during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We paid
dividends on preferred shares of $6.4 million for both the three months ended March 31,
2007 and 2006. |
36
|
|
|
We had net payments on our lines of credit, including the Global Line, of
$747.2 million and $148.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. |
Borrowing Capacities
At March 31, 2007, we had available credit facilities, including the Global Line of $3.6
billion. Under these facilities, we had outstanding borrowings of $1.7 billion and $113.7 million
of letters of credit outstanding with participating lenders resulting in remaining borrowing
capacity of $1.8 billion.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Liquidity and Capital Resources of Our Unconsolidated Investees
We had investments in and advances to unconsolidated investees of $1.6 billion at March 31,
2007, of which $1.0 billion relates to our investments in the property funds. Summarized financial
information for the property funds (for the entire entity, not our proportionate share) at March
31, 2007 is presented below (dollars in millions):

unconsolidated property funds. |
Contractual Obligations
Distribution and Dividend Requirements
Our common share distribution policy is to distribute a percentage of our cash flow that
ensures we will meet the distribution requirements of the Code relating to a REIT while still
allowing us to maximize the cash retained to meet other cash needs such as capital improvements and
other investment activities. Because depreciation is a non-cash expense, cash flow typically will
be greater than operating income and net earnings.
In December 2006, our Board of Trustees (the Board) approved an increase in the annual
distribution for 2007 from $1.60 to $1.84 per common share. The payment of common share
distributions is dependent upon our financial condition and operating results and may be adjusted
at the discretion of the Board during the year. We paid a distribution of $0.46 per common share
for the first quarter of 2007 on February 28, 2007.
At March 31, 2007, we had three series of preferred shares outstanding. The annual dividend
rates on preferred shares are $4.27 per Series C preferred share, $1.69 per Series F preferred
share and $1.69 per Series G preferred share. The dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on the
last day of each quarter.
Pursuant to the terms of our preferred shares, we are restricted from declaring or paying any
distribution with respect to our common shares unless and until all cumulative dividends with
respect to the preferred shares have
37
been paid and sufficient funds have been set aside for dividends that have been declared for
the then current dividend period with respect to the preferred shares.
Other Commitments
At March 31, 2007, we had letters of intent or contingent contracts, subject to final due
diligence, for the acquisition of properties aggregating approximately 0.9 million square feet at
an estimated total acquisition cost of approximately $35 million. These transactions are subject to
a number of conditions and we cannot predict with certainty that they will be consummated.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1.
Funds from Operations
FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry. The most directly
comparable GAAP measure to FFO is net earnings. Although NAREIT has published a definition of FFO,
modifications to the NAREIT calculation of FFO are common among REITs, as companies seek to provide
financial measures that meaningfully reflect their business. FFO, as we define it, is presented as
a supplemental financial measure. We do not use FFO as, nor should it be considered to be, an
alternative to net earnings computed under GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance or as
an alternative to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP as an indicator of our ability
to fund our cash needs.
FFO is not meant to represent a comprehensive system of financial reporting and does not
present, nor do we intend it to present, a complete picture of our financial condition and
operating performance. We believe net earnings computed under GAAP remains the primary measure of
performance and that FFO is only meaningful when it is used in conjunction with net earnings
computed under GAAP. Further, we believe our consolidated financial statements, prepared in
accordance with GAAP, provide the most meaningful picture of our financial condition and our
operating performance.
NAREITs FFO measure adjusts net earnings computed under GAAP to exclude historical cost
depreciation and gains and losses from the sales of previously depreciated properties. We agree
that these two NAREIT adjustments are useful to investors for the following reasons:
(a) historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes,
through depreciation charges, that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over
time. NAREIT stated in its White Paper on FFO since real estate asset values have historically
risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of
operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be
insufficient by themselves. Consequently, NAREITs definition of FFO reflects the fact that
real estate, as an asset class, generally appreciates over time and depreciation charges
required by GAAP do not reflect the underlying economic realities.
(b) REITs were created as a legal form of organization in order to encourage public
ownership of real estate as an asset class through investment in firms that were in the business
of long-term ownership and management of real estate. The exclusion, in NAREITs definition of
FFO, of gains and losses from the sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets
allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the long-term assets
that form the core of a REITs activity and assists in comparing those operating results between
periods. We include the gains and losses from dispositions of properties acquired or developed
in our CDFS business segment and our proportionate share of the gains and losses from
dispositions recognized by the property funds in our definition of FFO.
At the same time that NAREIT created and defined its FFO concept for the REIT industry, it
also recognized that management of each of its member companies has the responsibility and
authority to publish financial information that it regards as useful to the financial community.
We believe financial analysts, potential investors and shareholders who review our operating
results are best served by a defined FFO measure that includes other
38
adjustments to net earnings computed under GAAP in addition to those included in the NAREIT
defined measure of FFO.
Our defined FFO measure excludes the following items from net earnings computed under GAAP
that are not excluded in the NAREIT defined FFO measure:
|
(i) |
|
deferred income tax benefits and deferred income tax expenses recognized by our
subsidiaries; |
|
|
(ii) |
|
current income tax expense related to acquired tax liabilities that were recorded as
deferred tax liabilities in an acquisition, to the extent the expense is offset with a
deferred income tax benefit in GAAP earnings that is excluded from our defined FFO measure; |
|
|
(iii) |
|
certain foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from certain debt
transactions between us and our foreign consolidated subsidiaries and our foreign
unconsolidated investees; |
|
|
(iv) |
|
foreign currency exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement (based on current
foreign currency exchange rates) of certain third party debt of our foreign consolidated
subsidiaries and our foreign unconsolidated investees; and |
|
|
(v) |
|
mark-to-market adjustments associated with derivative financial instruments utilized to
manage foreign currency risks. |
FFO of our unconsolidated investees is calculated on the same basis.
The items that we exclude from net earnings computed under GAAP, while not infrequent or
unusual, are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period that cause both positive and
negative effects on our results of operations, in inconsistent and unpredictable directions. Most
importantly, the economics underlying the items that we exclude from net earnings computed under
GAAP are not the primary drivers in managements decision-making process and capital investment
decisions. Period to period fluctuations in these items can be driven by accounting for short-term
factors that are not relevant to long-term investment decisions, long-term capital structures or
long-term tax planning and tax structuring decisions. Accordingly, we believe investors are best
served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and
evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in planning and
executing our business strategy.
Real estate is a capital-intensive business. Investors analyses of the performance of real
estate companies tend to be centered on understanding the asset value created by real estate
investment decisions and understanding current operating returns that are being generated by those
same investment decisions. The adjustments to net earnings computed under GAAP that are included in
arriving at our FFO measure are helpful to management in making real estate investment decisions
and evaluating our current operating performance. We believe these adjustments are also helpful to
industry analysts, potential investors and shareholders in their understanding and evaluation of
our performance on the key measures of net asset value and current operating returns generated on
real estate investments.
While we believe our defined FFO measure is an important supplemental measure, neither
NAREITs nor our measure of FFO should be used alone because they exclude significant economic
components of net earnings computed under GAAP and are, therefore, limited as an analytical tool.
Some of these limitations are:
|
|
|
The current income tax expenses that are excluded from our defined FFO measure
represent the taxes that are payable. |
|
|
|
|
Depreciation and amortization of real estate assets are economic costs that are
excluded from FFO. FFO is limited, as it does not reflect the cash requirements that may be
necessary for future replacements of the real estate assets. Further, the amortization of
capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of
distribution properties are not reflected in FFO. |
|
|
|
|
Gains or losses from property dispositions represent changes in the value of
the disposed properties. By excluding these gains and losses, FFO does not capture realized
changes in the value of disposed properties arising from changes in market conditions. |
|
|
|
|
The deferred income tax benefits and expenses that are excluded from our
defined FFO measure result from the creation of a deferred income tax asset or liability
that may have to be settled at some future |
39
|
|
|
point. Our defined FFO measure does not currently reflect any income or expense that may
result from such settlement. |
|
|
|
|
The foreign currency exchange gains and losses that are excluded from our
defined FFO measure are generally recognized based on movements in foreign currency
exchange rates through a specific point in time. The ultimate settlement of our foreign
currency-denominated net assets is indefinite as to timing and amount. Our FFO measure is
limited in that it does not reflect the current period changes in these net assets that
result from periodic foreign currency exchange rate movements. |
We compensate for these limitations by using the FFO measure only in conjunction with net
earnings computed under GAAP. To further compensate, we always reconcile our defined FFO measure to
net earnings computed under GAAP in our financial reports. Additionally, we provide investors with
our complete financial statements prepared under GAAP; our definition of FFO, which includes a
discussion of the limitations of using our non-GAAP measure; and a reconciliation of our GAAP
measure (net earnings) to our non-GAAP measure (FFO, as we define it), so that investors can
appropriately incorporate this measure and its limitations into their analyses.
FFO attributable to common shares as defined by us was $329.7 million and $225.3 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The reconciliations of FFO
attributable to common shares as defined by us to net earnings attributable to common shares

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We define our market risk exposure as: (i) the potential loss in future earnings and cash
flows due to interest rate exposure and (ii) the potential loss in future earnings with respect to
foreign currency exchange exposure.
40
Interest Rate Risk
Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on
earnings and cash flows. To achieve this objective, we borrow on a fixed rate basis for longer-term
debt issuances. In anticipation of a financing expected to occur in early 2007, we entered into
several interest rate swap contracts that were designated as cash flow hedges to fix the interest
rate on a portion of the expected financing. The financing occurred in March 2007 with the issuance
of $1.25 billion of convertible senior notes. We have no derivative contracts outstanding at March
31, 2007 as hedges of our future fixed rate debt or our variable lines of credit, although we may
in the future fix existing variable rate borrowings to manage our interest rate exposure.
Our primary interest rate risk is created by our variable rate lines of credit and other
variable rate debt. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, in connection with the Parkridge
acquisition, we entered into a $600.0 million multi-currency senior credit facility. The debt bears
interest at LIBOR plus a margin. At March 31, 2007, we had outstanding borrowings of $1.7 billion
on our variable rate lines of credit and $1.0 billion of other variable rate debt, including the
new facility. Based on the results of a sensitivity analysis with a 10% adverse change in interest
rates on our variable rate debt, our estimated market risk exposure
was approximately $3.3 million
on our cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
See Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for more discussion of our
debt.
Foreign Currency Risk
We incur foreign currency exchange risk related to third party and intercompany debt of our
foreign consolidated subsidiaries and unconsolidated investees that are not denominated in the
functional currency of the subsidiary or investee. The remeasurement of certain of this debt
results in the recognition of foreign currency exchange gains or losses. We use foreign currency
forward contracts to manage the foreign currency fluctuations of intercompany loans. These
contracts allow us to sell euros and pounds sterling at a fixed exchange rate to the U.S. dollar.
At March 31, 2007, we had forward contracts outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $1.8
billion.
We primarily use foreign currency put option contracts to manage foreign currency exchange
rate risk associated with the projected net operating income (operating income net of foreign
denominated interest expense) of our foreign consolidated subsidiaries and unconsolidated
investees. At March 31, 2007, we had put option contracts outstanding with an aggregate notional
amount of $24.8 million.
See Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for more information related to
instruments we utilize to manage certain of these risks.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c)) under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2007. Based on this
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.
PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we and our unconsolidated investees are party to a variety of legal
proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that, with respect to any such
matters that we are currently a party to, the ultimate disposition of any such matters will not
result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations.
