Frequently Asked Questions

The acquisitions of Liberty Property Trust and IPT, completed in February and January 2020 respectively, significantly boosted Prologis's total assets and real estate investments. This expansion contributed substantially to increased rental revenues and overall financial scale, offsetting potential negative impacts from the broader economic environment. The company reported substantial increases in 'Investments in real estate properties' and 'Net investments in real estate' on its balance sheet, reflecting these strategic acquisitions.

Prologis has experienced minimal impact from COVID-19 on its rent collections, with 96.1% of June rents collected for its owned and managed portfolio as of July 21, 2020. While acknowledging potential for increased bad debt, the company noted that customers serving essential needs continue to thrive, and even non-essential industries showed leasing activity. Prologis has granted some rent deferral requests, generally deferring payments to later in 2020 without impacting revenue recognition.

Prologis maintained a strong liquidity position with $4.6 billion available at June 30, 2020, including $549 million in cash. The company also completed debt refinancing activities, extending its weighted average remaining debt maturity to 10 years and maintaining a weighted average effective interest rate of 2.2%. Prologis has no significant debt maturities until 2022 and is in compliance with all financial debt covenants, demonstrating a robust capital structure.

Prologis anticipates market rents to remain flat for the remainder of 2020 due to the economic environment. However, the company has significant upside potential from its in-place leases, which are estimated to be approximately 13% below current market rent. This suggests that as leases renew, Prologis can expect increased future rental income, continuing a positive rent change trend observed since 2013.
