Filed August 7, 2012For Securities:PLDPLDGP

Summary

This 10-Q filing for Prologis, Inc. (PLD) as of June 30, 2012, highlights a significant period of integration and strategic realignment following the 2011 merger with AMB. The company reported increased revenues and a return to profitability for the six-month period compared to a loss in the prior year, driven by its core Real Estate Operations segment. Significant gains were realized from the disposition of real estate investments and the consolidation of previously unconsolidated entities. Key financial shifts include an increase in total assets and liabilities, largely due to acquisitions and debt financing. Prologis continues to focus on strengthening its balance sheet, reducing leverage, and optimizing its portfolio by exiting non-strategic markets. The company is actively managing its development pipeline and private capital business, aiming for sustained long-term growth and operational efficiencies. Investors should note the impact of merger-related expenses and significant foreign currency translation adjustments on comprehensive income.
