What was the primary driver for the decrease in net income available to common stockholders year-over-year?

The decrease in net income available to common stockholders was primarily driven by the absence of a significant gain from real estate dispositions ($16.8 million) in the first quarter of 2002, which was recorded in the same period of 2001. Additionally, an extraordinary loss of $0.2 million related to early debt extinguishment in the current quarter impacted net income.

How is the company managing its debt levels?

AMB Property Corporation has a total debt of $2.1 billion as of March 31, 2002. The company aims to maintain a debt-to-total market capitalization ratio of approximately 45% or less and a debt-to-total book capitalization ratio of 44.9%. They are also focused on managing interest rate risk by having a majority of their debt at fixed rates.

What is the company's strategy regarding its property portfolio?

AMB Property Corporation's strategy is to focus on High Throughput Distribution (HTD) industrial properties in supply-constrained, in-fill submarkets. They are actively divesting non-strategic retail centers and industrial properties that do not align with this core focus and redeploying capital into these targeted industrial assets.

What is the company's outlook on liquidity and capital resources?

The company expects to fund its operations, acquisitions, and developments through a combination of cash flow from operations, borrowings under its credit facilities, other debt and equity financings, and proceeds from property divestitures. As of March 31, 2002, they had $99.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $500 million available under their unsecured credit facility, indicating sufficient liquidity for the near future.
