What was the main driver of revenue growth in the first quarter of 2016?

The primary driver of revenue growth was a significant increase in rental revenue and rental recoveries, reflecting the company's strong leasing activity and positive rental rate growth across its portfolio.

How did Prologis manage its real estate portfolio during the quarter?

Prologis actively managed its portfolio by contributing properties to unconsolidated ventures and selling properties to third parties, generating substantial proceeds and gains. This indicates a strategy of portfolio optimization and capital recycling.

What is the impact of the increased depreciation and amortization expense?

The increase in depreciation and amortization expense to $250 million is primarily due to acquired properties (including the KTR acquisition in May 2015) and recently completed development projects. While it reduces net income, it is a non-cash expense and reflects the growth and expansion of the company's asset base.

How is Prologis managing its debt and capital structure?

Prologis maintained a stable total debt level of approximately $11.7 billion. The company has a well-diversified debt structure, including credit facilities, senior notes, and term loans, and reported compliance with all debt covenants. They also continue to have significant borrowing capacity under their credit facilities, which were amended in April 2016 to increase capacity and extend maturity.
