NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Industrial Logistics Properties Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries, or the Company, ILPT, we, us or our, are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, or our 2023 Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period have been included. All intercompany transactions and balances with or among our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Our operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the condensed consolidated financial statements include purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets and assessment of impairment of real estate and related intangibles.
Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities, including those with a single reportable segment, to: (i) provide disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items if they are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, or the CODM, and included in each reported measure of segment profit or loss; (ii) provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 280, Segment Reporting, in interim periods; and (iii) disclose the CODM’s title and position, as well as an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures and other disclosures. ASU 2023-07 does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. ASU 2023-07 is required to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We expect to include additional disclosures in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of the implementation of ASU 2023-07; however, these changes are not expected to have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Real Estate Investments
As of September 30, 2024, our portfolio was comprised of 411 properties containing approximately 59,890,000 rentable square feet located in 39 states, including 226 buildings, leasable land parcels and easements containing approximately 16,729,000 rentable square feet that were primarily industrial lands located on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, or our Hawaii Properties, and 185 properties containing approximately 43,161,000 rentable square feet that were industrial and logistics properties located in 38 other states, or our Mainland Properties, which included 94 properties in 27 states totaling approximately 20,978,000 rentable square feet, owned by Mountain Industrial REIT LLC, or Mountain JV, or our consolidated joint venture, in which we own a 61% equity interest. As of September 30, 2024, we also owned a 22% equity interest in The Industrial Fund REIT LLC, or the unconsolidated joint venture.
We operate in one business segment: ownership and leasing of properties that include industrial and logistics buildings and leased industrial lands.

Consolidated Joint Venture
We own a 61% equity interest in our consolidated joint venture. We control this consolidated joint venture and therefore account for the properties owned by this joint venture on a consolidated basis in our condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2024, our consolidated joint venture had total assets of $2,932,320 and total liabilities of $1,769,384.
Consolidated Tenancy in Common
An unrelated third party owns an approximate 33% tenancy in common interest in one property located in Somerset, New Jersey with approximately 64,000 rentable square feet, and we own the remaining approximate 67% tenancy in common interest in this property. The tenancy in common made cash distributions to the unrelated third party investor of $163 and $0 during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and cash distributions of $326 and $225 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, the tenancy in common had total assets of $10,388 and total liabilities of $250.
Unconsolidated Joint Venture
We own a 22% equity interest in the unconsolidated joint venture, which owns 18 industrial properties located in 12 states totaling approximately 11,726,000 rentable square feet. We account for the unconsolidated joint venture using the equity method of accounting under the fair value option. We recognize changes in the fair value of our investment in the unconsolidated joint venture as equity in earnings of the unconsolidated joint venture in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
Note 4. Leases
We are a lessor of industrial and logistics properties. Our leases provide our tenants with the contractual right to use and economically benefit from all the physical space specified in their respective leases and are generally classified as operating leases.
Our leases provide for base rent payments and may also include variable payments. Rental income from operating leases, including any payments derived by index or market-based indices, is recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term when we have determined that the collectability of substantially all of the lease payments is probable. Some of our leases have options to extend or terminate the lease exercisable at the option of our tenants, which are considered when determining the lease term. Allowances for bad debts are recognized as a direct reduction of rental income. In certain circumstances, some leases provide the tenant with the right to terminate if the legislature or other funding authority does not appropriate the funding necessary for the tenant to meet its lease obligations; we have determined the fixed non-cancelable lease term of these leases to be the full term of the lease because we believe the occurrence of early terminations to be a remote contingency based on both our historical experience and our assessments of the likelihood of lease cancellation on a separate lease basis.
We do not include in our measurement of our lease receivables certain variable payments, including payments determined by changes in the index or market-based indices after the inception of the lease, certain tenant reimbursements and other income until the specific events that trigger the variable payments have occurred. Such payments totaled $18,997 and $19,310 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $60,228 and $58,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Generally, payments of ground lease obligations are made by our tenants. However, if a tenant does not perform obligations under a ground lease or does not renew any ground lease, we may have to perform obligations under the ground lease in order to protect our investment in the affected property.
Right of Use Assets and Lease Liabilities
We are the lessee for three of our properties subject to ground leases and one office lease that we assumed in an acquisition. For leases with a term greater than 12 months under which we are the lessee, we recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities. The values of our right of use assets and related lease liabilities were $4,308 and $4,401, respectively, as of September 30, 2024, and $4,646 and $4,730, respectively, as of December 31, 2023. Our right of use assets and related lease liabilities are included in other assets, net and accounts payable and other liabilities, respectively, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Geographic Concentration
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our Hawaii Properties represented 26.9% and 28.1%, respectively, of our rental income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our Hawaii Properties represented 27.4% and 27.9%, respectively, of our rental income.
Tenant Concentration
We define annualized rental revenues as the annualized contractual base rents from our tenants pursuant to our lease agreements as of the measurement date, including straight line rent adjustments and estimated recurring expense reimbursements to be paid to us, and excluding amortization of deferred leasing costs.
Subsidiaries of FedEx Corporation, or FedEx, and subsidiaries of Amazon.com Services, Inc., or Amazon, represented 29.3% and 6.8% of our annualized rental revenues as of September 30, 2024, respectively, and 29.8% and 6.7% as of September 30, 2023, respectively.

Our $1,235,000 loan, or the ILPT Floating Rate Loan, which is secured by 104 of our properties, was scheduled to mature in October 2024, subject to three, one year extension options, and required that interest be paid at an annual rate of secured overnight financing rate, or SOFR, plus a weighted average premium of 3.93%. In October 2024, we exercised the first of our three, one year extension options for the maturity date of this loan. In connection with the exercise of the extension, we purchased a one year interest rate cap for $16,975 with a SOFR strike rate equal to 2.78%, which replaced the previous interest rate cap with a SOFR strike rate equal to 2.25%. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, we have the option to prepay the ILPT Floating Rate Loan in full or in part at any time at par with no premium.
Our consolidated joint venture’s $1,400,000 loan, or the Mountain Floating Rate Loan, matures in March 2025, subject to two remaining one year extension options, and requires that interest be paid at an annual rate of SOFR plus a premium of 2.77%. In March 2024, in connection with the exercise of the first of its three, one year extension options for the maturity date of this loan, our consolidated joint venture purchased a one year interest rate cap for $26,175 with a SOFR strike rate equal to 3.04%, which replaced the previous interest rate cap with a SOFR strike rate equal to 3.40%. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, we have the option to prepay the Mountain Floating Rate Loan in full or in part at any time at par with no premium.

In May 2023, our consolidated joint venture obtained a $91,000 fixed rate, interest only mortgage loan secured by four properties owned by our consolidated joint venture. This mortgage loan matures in June 2030 and requires that interest be paid at an annual rate of 6.25%. A portion of the net proceeds from this mortgage loan was used to repay four then outstanding mortgage loans of our consolidated joint venture with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $35,910 and a weighted average interest rate of 3.70%. We recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $359 in conjunction with the repayment of these mortgage loans.
The agreements governing certain of our indebtedness contain customary covenants and provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts due thereunder upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default. See Note 10 for further information regarding our interest rate caps.

Note 6. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, mortgages and notes payable, accounts payable and interest rate caps. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of our financial instruments approximated their carrying values in our condensed consolidated financial statements due to their short term nature or floating interest rates, except for our fixed rate mortgage notes payable. Our fixed rate mortgage notes payable had an aggregate carrying value of $1,669,925 and $1,682,501 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and a fair value of $1,599,252 and $1,553,863 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. We estimate the fair value of our fixed rate mortgage notes payable using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), including discounted cash flow analyses and prevailing market interest rates.
The table below presents certain of our assets measured on a recurring basis at fair value as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, categorized by the level of inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, used in the valuation of each asset:

The fair value of our investment in the unconsolidated joint venture is determined by applying our ownership percentage to the net asset value of the entity. The net asset value of the unconsolidated joint venture is determined by using similar estimation techniques as those used for consolidated real estate properties, including discounting expected future cash flows of the underlying real estate investments based on prevailing market rents over a holding period and including an exit capitalization rate to determine the final year of cash flows.
The fair values of our interest rate cap derivatives are based on prevailing market prices in secondary markets for similar derivative contracts as of the measurement date.
The discount rates, exit capitalization rates and holding periods used to determine the fair value of our investment in the unconsolidated joint venture are Level 3 significant unobservable inputs and are shown in the table below:

Note 8. Business and Property Management Agreements with RMR
We have no employees. The personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us by RMR. We have two agreements with RMR to provide management services to us: (1) a business management agreement, which relates to our business generally; and (2) a property management agreement, which relates to our property level operations.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
Pursuant to our business management agreement with RMR, we recognized business management fees of $5,938 and $17,577 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $5,919 and $17,301 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Based on our common share total return, as defined in our business management agreement, as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, no incentive fees are included in the business management fees we recognized for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2024 or 2023. The actual amount of annual incentive fees for 2024, if any, will be based on our common share total return, as defined in our business management agreement, for the three year period ending December 31, 2024, and will be payable in January 2025. We did not incur any incentive fee payable to RMR for the year ended December 31, 2023. We include business management fees in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Pursuant to our property management agreement with RMR, we recognized aggregate property management and construction supervision fees of $3,317 and $9,951 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $3,464 and $10,286 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Of these amounts, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, $3,202 and $9,648, respectively, were included in other operating expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements and $115 and $303, respectively, were capitalized as building improvements in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, $3,293 and $9,745, respectively, were included in other operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and $171 and $541, respectively, were capitalized as building improvements in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amounts capitalized are being depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related capital assets.
We are generally responsible for all of our operating expenses, including certain expenses incurred or arranged by RMR on our behalf. We are generally not responsible for payment of RMR’s employment, office or administrative expenses incurred to provide management services to us, except for the employment and related expenses of RMR’s employees assigned to work exclusively or partly at our properties, our share of the wages, benefits and other related costs of RMR’s centralized accounting personnel, our share of RMR’s costs for providing our internal audit function, or as otherwise agreed. Our property level operating expenses are generally incorporated into the rents charged to our tenants, including certain payroll and related costs incurred by RMR. We reimbursed RMR $1,856 and $5,190 for these expenses and costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $2,375 and $6,216 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. These amounts are included in other operating expenses and general and administrative expenses, as applicable, in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Management Agreements Between Our Joint Ventures and RMR. We have two separate joint venture arrangements, our consolidated joint venture and the unconsolidated joint venture. RMR provides management services to both of these joint ventures. We are not obligated to pay management fees to RMR under our management agreements with RMR for the services it provides to the unconsolidated joint venture. We are obligated to pay management fees to RMR under our management agreements with RMR for the services it provides to our consolidated joint venture; however, our consolidated joint venture pays management fees directly to RMR, and any such fees paid by our consolidated joint venture are credited against the fees payable by us to RMR.

Note 10. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
We are exposed to certain risks relating to our ongoing business operations, including the impact of changes in interest rates. The only risk currently managed by us using derivative instruments is our interest rate risk. We have interest rate cap agreements to manage our interest rate risk exposure on each of the ILPT Floating Rate Loan and the Mountain Floating Rate Loan, both with interest payable at a rate equal to SOFR plus a premium. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, we only enter into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which we or our related parties may also have other financial relationships. We do not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.
Our interest rate cap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk and are measured on a recurring basis at fair value. See Notes 5 and 6 for further information regarding the debt our interest rate caps are related to and the fair value of our interest rate caps. The following table summarizes the terms of our outstanding interest rate cap agreements as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium. For derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in cumulative other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized over the life of the hedge on a systematic and rational basis, as documented at hedge inception in accordance with our accounting policy election. The earnings recognition of excluded components is presented in interest expense. Amounts reported in cumulative other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our applicable debt.
In October 2024, we exercised the first of our three, one year extension options for the maturity date of the ILPT Floating Rate Loan. In connection with the exercise of the extension, we purchased a one year interest rate cap for $16,975 with a SOFR strike rate equal to 2.78%, which replaced the previous interest rate cap with a SOFR strike rate equal to 2.25%.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following information should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our 2023 Annual Report.
OVERVIEW (dollars in thousands, except per square foot data)
We are a real estate investment trust, or REIT, organized under Maryland law. As of September 30, 2024, our portfolio was comprised of 411 properties containing approximately 59,890,000 rentable square feet located in 39 states with 94.4% occupancy leased to approximately 300 different tenants. As of September 30, 2024, we also owned a 22% equity interest in the unconsolidated joint venture.
Our portfolio as of September 30, 2024 is summarized below (square feet in thousands):

(1)Based on annualized rental revenues as of September 30, 2024.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our rental income and net operating income, or NOI, increased compared to the 2023 period primarily due to leasing activity and rent resets at our properties. Long-term e-commerce trends and supply chain resiliency have resulted in high occupancy and increases in rents. We believe customer service expectations, growth in the number of households and demand for supply chain resiliency will keep demand for industrial properties strong for the foreseeable future. However, high interest rates, even with the recent reduction and anticipated future reductions by the U.S. Federal Reserve, inflationary pressures, and global geopolitical hostilities and tensions, have given rise to economic uncertainty and have caused disruptions in the financial markets. These conditions continue to keep our cost of capital elevated and negatively impact our ability to reduce our leverage. An economic recession, or continued or intensified disruptions in the financial markets, could adversely affect our financial condition and that of our tenants, could adversely impact the ability or willingness of our tenants to renew our leases or pay rent to us, may restrict our access to and would likely increase our cost of capital, may impact our ability to sell properties and may cause the values of our properties and of our common shares or other securities to decline.

(1)Leased square feet is pursuant to existing leases as of September 30, 2024, and includes space being fitted out for occupancy, if any, and space which is leased but is not occupied, if any.
As of September 30, 2024, subsidiaries of FedEx and Amazon leased 22.7% and 8.0% of our total leased square feet, respectively, and represented 29.3% and 6.8% of our total annualized rental revenues, respectively.
Mainland Properties. As of September 30, 2024, occupancy at our Mainland Properties was 97.7% and represented 72.1% of our annualized rental revenues. We generally will seek to renew or extend the terms of leases at our Mainland Properties as their expirations approach. A majority of the leases at our Mainland Properties include periodic set dollar amount or percentage increases that increase the cash rent payable to us. Due to the capital that many of the tenants in our Mainland Properties have invested in these properties and because many of these properties appear to be of strategic importance to the tenants’ businesses, we believe that it is likely that these tenants will renew or extend their leases prior to their expirations. If we are unable to extend or renew our leases, it may be time consuming and expensive to relet some of these properties and the terms of any leases we may enter may be less favorable to us than the terms of our existing leases for those properties.
Hawaii Properties. As of September 30, 2024, occupancy at our Hawaii Properties was 85.7% and represented 27.9% of our annualized rental revenues. Certain of our Hawaii Properties are lands leased for rents that periodically reset based on fair market values, generally every 10 years. Revenues from our Hawaii Properties have generally increased as rents under the leases for those properties have been reset or renewed. Lease renewals, lease extensions, new leases and rental rates for our Hawaii Properties in the future will depend on prevailing market conditions when these lease renewals, lease extensions, new leases and rental rates are set. As rent reset dates or lease expirations approach at our Hawaii Properties, we generally negotiate with existing or new tenants for new lease terms. If we are unable to reach an agreement with a tenant on a rent reset, our Hawaii Properties’ leases typically provide that rent is reset based on an appraisal process. Due to the limited availability of land suitable for industrial uses that might compete with our Hawaii Properties, we believe that our Hawaii Properties offer the potential for future rent growth as a result of periodic rent resets, lease extensions and new leasing.
The following table provides the annualized rental revenues scheduled to reset at our Hawaii Properties as of September 30, 2024:

As of September 30, 2024, $17,287, or 4.0%, of our annualized rental revenues are included in leases scheduled to expire by September 30, 2025 and 5.6% of our rentable square feet are currently vacant. Rental rates for which available space may be leased in the future will depend on prevailing market conditions when lease extensions, lease renewals or new leases are negotiated. Whenever we extend, renew or enter new leases for our properties, we intend to seek rents that are equal to or higher than our historical rents for the same properties. Despite our prior experience with rent resets, lease extensions and new leases in Hawaii, our ability to increase rents when rents reset, leases are extended or leases expire depends upon market conditions, which are beyond our control. Accordingly, we cannot be sure that the historical increases achieved at our Hawaii Properties will continue in the future.
Tenant Review Process. Our manager, RMR, conducts a tenant review process for us. RMR assesses tenants on an individual basis based on various applicable credit criteria. Depending on facts and circumstances, RMR evaluates the creditworthiness of a tenant based on information that is provided by the tenant and, in some cases, information that is publicly available or obtained from third party sources. RMR also may use a third party service to monitor the credit ratings of debt securities of our existing tenants whose debt securities are rated by a nationally recognized credit rating agency.

References to changes in the income and expense categories below relate to the comparison of results for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Rental income. Rental income decreased primarily due to vacancies at two of our properties, partially offset by increased rental income from leasing activities and rent resets.
Real estate taxes. Real estate taxes increased primarily due to higher assessed values at certain of our properties.
Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses decreased primarily due to decreases in maintenance and repair expenses incurred in the 2023 period at certain of our properties and insurance expenses.
Depreciation and amortization. The decrease in depreciation and amortization primarily reflects the impact of renewals at certain of our properties as a result of leasing activity in the 2024 period and certain acquired real estate leases fully amortizing since October 1, 2023, partially offset by increased depreciation related to improvements made to certain of our properties since October 1, 2023.
General and administrative. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to decreases in franchise taxes and professional fees, partially offset by an increase in leasing costs compared to the 2023 period.
Interest income. The increase in interest income is primarily due to higher interest rates and average cash balances during the 2024 period as compared to the 2023 period.
Interest expense. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to increased amortization related to the cost of the interest rate cap purchased by our consolidated joint venture in March 2024, partially offset by decreased interest costs and amortization of debt issuance costs related to the Mountain Floating Rate Loan.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense primarily reflects state income taxes payable in certain jurisdictions.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint venture. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint venture represents the change in the fair value of our investment in the unconsolidated joint venture.

References to changes in the income and expense categories below relate to the comparison of results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Rental income. Rental income increased primarily due to increases from our net leasing activity and rent resets.
Real estate taxes. Real estate taxes decreased primarily due to successful real estate tax appeals, partially offset by higher assessed values at certain of our properties.
Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses increased primarily due to increases in insurance, roof repairs, snow removal expenses and professional fees at certain of our properties.
Depreciation and amortization. The decrease in depreciation and amortization primarily reflects the impact of renewals at certain of our properties as a result of leasing activity in the 2024 period and certain acquired real estate leases fully amortizing since the 2023 period, partially offset by increased depreciation related to improvements made to certain of our properties since the 2023 period.
General and administrative. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to decreases in franchise taxes and professional fees, partially offset by increases in our equity based compensation and in our business management fees during the 2024 period.
Loss on impairment of real estate. During the 2023 period, we recognized a loss on impairment of real estate on one property that was classified as held for sale.
Interest income. The increase in interest income is primarily due to higher interest rates and average cash balances during the 2024 period as compared to the 2023 period.
Interest expense. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to increased amortization related to the cost of the interest rate cap purchased by our consolidated joint venture in March 2024 and the $91,000 mortgage loan obtained by our consolidated joint venture in May 2023, partially offset by decreased interest costs and amortization of debt issuance costs related to the Mountain Floating Rate Loan.
Loss on sale of real estate. During the 2023 period, we recognized a loss on sale of real estate from the sale of a portion of a land parcel in Everett, Washington.
Loss on early extinguishment of debt. Loss on early extinguishment of debt primarily relates to prepayment penalties incurred upon the repayment of four mortgage notes aggregating $35,910 in the 2023 period.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense primarily reflects state income taxes payable in certain jurisdictions.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint venture. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint venture represents the change in the fair value of our investment in the unconsolidated joint venture.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures (dollars in thousands, except per share data)
We present certain “non-GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including NOI, funds from operations, or FFO, attributable to common shareholders and normalized funds from operations, or Normalized FFO, attributable to common shareholders. These measures do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net loss or net loss attributable to common shareholders, as indicators of our operating performance or as measures of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net loss and net loss attributable to common shareholders as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We consider these non-GAAP measures to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net loss and net loss attributable to common shareholders. We believe these measures provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation and amortization expense, they may facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs and, in the case of NOI, reflecting only those income and expense items that are generated and incurred at the property level may help both investors and management to understand the operations of our properties.
Net Operating Income
We calculate NOI as shown below. We define NOI as income from our rental of real estate less our property operating expenses. The calculation of NOI excludes certain components of net loss in order to provide results that are more closely related to our property level results of operations. NOI excludes depreciation and amortization. We use NOI to evaluate individual and company-wide property level performance. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate NOI differently than we do.

Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders and Normalized Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders
We calculate FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders as shown below. FFO attributable to common shareholders is calculated on the basis defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, which is: (1) net loss attributable to common shareholders calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) any recovery or loss on impairment of real estate, (ii) any gain or loss on sale of real estate and (iii) equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint venture; (2) plus (i) real estate depreciation and amortization of our properties and (ii) our proportionate share of FFO from unconsolidated joint venture properties; (3) minus FFO adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interest; and (4) certain other adjustments currently not applicable to us. In calculating Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders, we adjust for certain non-recurring items shown below, including adjustments for such items related to the unconsolidated joint venture, if any.
FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders are among the factors considered by our Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to our shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT, limitations in the agreements governing our debt, the availability to us of debt and equity capital, our distribution rate as a percentage of the trading price of our common shares, or dividend yield, and our dividend yield compared to the dividend yields of other industrial REITs, our expectation of our future capital requirements and operating performance and our expected needs for and availability of cash to pay our obligations. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders differently than we do.
The following table presents our calculation of FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders and reconciliations of net loss attributable to common shareholders to FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (dollars in thousands)
Our principal sources of funds to meet our operating and capital obligations, pay our debt service and make distributions to our shareholders are rents from tenants at our properties. As of September 30, 2024, investment grade rated tenants, subsidiaries of investment grade rated parent entities or our Hawaii land leases represented 77.2% of our annualized rental revenues and only 4.0% of our annualized rental revenues were from leases expiring over the next 12 months. We believe that these sources of funds will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital obligations, pay our debt service and make distributions to our shareholders for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future thereafter.
The following is a summary of our sources and uses of cash flows for the periods presented, as reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:

$

$

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the 2023 period is primarily due to higher cash flows from our properties and favorable changes in working capital in the 2024 period. The decrease in net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the 2023 period is primarily due to costs associated with the purchase of an interest rate cap for $26,175 in the 2024 period and distributions in excess of earnings from the unconsolidated joint venture in the 2023 period, partially offset by increased proceeds from the settlement of our interest rate caps and a reduction in expenditures on our real estate improvements. The change in net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to net cash provided by financing activities for the 2023 period was primarily due to our consolidated joint venture obtaining a $91,000 fixed rate, interest only mortgage loan secured by four properties owned by our consolidated joint venture in the 2023 period. A portion of the net proceeds was used to repay four then outstanding mortgage loans of our consolidated joint venture with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $35,910 in the 2023 period.
Our Operating Liquidity and Resources
Our future cash flows from operating activities will depend primarily upon our ability to:
•collect rents from our tenants when due;
•maintain the occupancy of, and maintain or increase the rental rates at, our properties; and
•control our operating cost increases, including interest and other financing costs.
Our Investing and Financing Liquidity and Resources (dollars in thousands, except per share and per square foot data)
As of September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents, of $153,863. To maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, we generally are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income annually, subject to specified adjustments and excluding any net capital gain. This distribution requirement limits our ability to retain earnings and thereby provide capital for our operations or acquisitions. We may use our cash and cash equivalents on hand, the cash flow from our operations, net proceeds from any sales of assets and net proceeds of offerings of equity or debt securities to fund our distributions to our shareholders.
When the maturities of our debt approach or we desire to reduce our leverage or refinance maturing debt, we intend to explore refinancing alternatives, property sales or sales of equity interests in joint ventures. Such alternatives may include incurring term debt, obtaining financing secured by mortgages on properties we own, issuing new equity or debt securities, obtaining a revolving credit facility, participating or selling equity interests in joint ventures or selling properties. Further, any issuances of our equity securities may be dilutive to our existing shareholders. We expect to fund any future property acquisitions, developments and redevelopments with proceeds we may receive in connection with any additional properties we may sell to our joint ventures, equity contributions from any third party investors in our joint ventures or any future joint ventures, net proceeds from offerings of equity or debt securities and cash on hand. We may also assume mortgage loans or incur debt in connection with future acquisitions, developments and redevelopments. Although we cannot be sure that we will be successful in completing any particular type of financing, we believe that we will have access to financing, such as debt or equity offerings, to fund capital expenditures, future acquisitions, development, redevelopment and other activities and to pay our obligations.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, amounts capitalized at our properties for tenant improvements, leasing costs, building improvements and development, redevelopment and other activities were as follows:

(1)Tenant improvements and leasing costs include capital expenditures used to improve tenants’ space or amounts paid directly to tenants to improve their space and leasing related costs, such as brokerage commissions and tenant inducements.
(2)Building improvements generally include expenditures to replace obsolete building components and expenditures that extend the useful life of existing assets.
(3)Development, redevelopment and other activities generally include capital expenditure projects that reposition a property or result in new sources of revenues.
As of September 30, 2024, committed, but unspent, tenant related obligations based on existing leases were $6,382, of which $6,042 is expected to be spent during the next 12 months.
Joint Ventures
We own a 61% equity interest in our consolidated joint venture. We control this consolidated joint venture and therefore account for the properties owned by this joint venture on a consolidated basis in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We also own a 22% equity interest in the unconsolidated joint venture. We account for the unconsolidated joint venture using the equity method of accounting under the fair value option. The unconsolidated joint venture made aggregate cash distributions to us of $990 and $5,390 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $2,970 and $7,370 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
For further information regarding our consolidated joint venture and unconsolidated joint venture, see Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Indebtedness
The ILPT Floating Rate Loan, which is secured by 104 of our properties, was scheduled to mature in October 2024, subject to three, one year extension options, and required that interest be paid at an annual rate of SOFR plus a weighted average premium of 3.93%. In October 2024, we exercised the first of our three, one year extension options for the maturity date of this loan. In connection with the exercise of the extension, we purchased a one year interest rate cap for $16,975 with a SOFR strike rate equal to 2.78%, which replaced the previous interest rate cap with a SOFR strike rate equal to 2.25%. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, we have the option to prepay the ILPT Floating Rate Loan in full or in part at any time at par with no premium.
The Mountain Floating Rate Loan matures in March 2025, subject to two remaining one year extension options, and requires that interest be paid at an annual rate of SOFR plus a premium of 2.77%. In March 2024, in connection with the exercise of the first of its three, one year extension options for the maturity date of this loan, our consolidated joint venture purchased a one year interest rate cap for $26,175 with a SOFR strike rate equal to 3.04%, which replaced the previous interest rate cap with a SOFR strike rate equal to 3.40%. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, we have the option to prepay the Mountain Floating Rate Loan in full or in part at any time at par with no premium.
The weighted average interest rates under our floating rate loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were as follows:

The one year extension options for the ILPT Floating Rate Loan and the Mountain Floating Rate Loan require, among other things, that we obtain a replacement interest rate cap, as defined in the applicable agreement.
In May 2023, our consolidated joint venture obtained a $91,000 fixed rate, interest only mortgage loan secured by four properties owned by our consolidated joint venture. This mortgage loan matures in June 2030 and requires that interest be paid at an annual rate of 6.25%. A portion of the net proceeds from this mortgage loan was used to repay four then outstanding mortgage loans of our consolidated joint venture with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $35,910 and a weighted average interest rate of 3.70%. We recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $359 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 in conjunction with the repayment of these mortgage loans.
As of September 30, 2024, we had an aggregate principal amount of $4,312,421 of indebtedness, including the ILPT Floating Rate Loan, the Mountain Floating Rate Loan, our $700,000 mortgage loan and our $650,000 mortgage loan, scheduled to mature between 2024 and 2038.
The agreements and related documents governing the ILPT Floating Rate Loan, the Mountain Floating Rate Loan, our $700,000 mortgage loan and our $650,000 mortgage loan contain customary covenants, provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts due thereunder upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default and, in the case of the $650,000 mortgage loan, also require us to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth of at least $250,000 and liquidity of at least $15,000. As of September 30, 2024, we believe that we were in compliance with all of the covenants and other terms under the agreements governing these loans.
For further information regarding our indebtedness, see Notes 5 and 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Distributions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we paid quarterly cash distributions to our shareholders totaling $1,976 using cash on hand.
On October 16, 2024, we declared a regular quarterly distribution to common shareholders of record on October 28, 2024 of $0.01 per share, or approximately $661. We expect to pay this distribution to our shareholders on or about November 14, 2024 using cash on hand.
Related Person Transactions
We have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with RMR, RMR Inc. and others related to them. For further information about these and other such relationships and related person transactions, see Notes 8 and 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our 2023 Annual Report, our definitive Proxy Statement for our 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and our other filings with the SEC. In addition, see the section captioned “Risk Factors” of our 2023 Annual Report for a description of risks that may arise as a result of these and other related person transactions and relationships. We may engage in additional transactions with related persons, including businesses to which RMR or its subsidiaries provide management services.
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the condensed consolidated financial statements include purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets and assessment of impairment of real estate and related intangibles.
A discussion of our critical accounting estimates is included in our 2023 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates since the year ended December 31, 2023.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
We are exposed to risks associated with market changes in interest rates. We manage our exposure to this market risk by monitoring available financing alternatives, including fixed rate debt, and employing derivative instruments, including interest rate caps, to limit our exposure to increasing interest rates. Other than as described below, we do not currently expect any significant changes in our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or in how we manage this exposure in the near future.

(1)The annual interest rate is the rate stated in the applicable contract, as adjusted by our interest rate caps.
The ILPT Floating Rate Loan was subject to three, one year extension options as of September 30, 2024, and requires that interest be paid at an annual rate of SOFR plus a weighted average premium of 3.93%. The Mountain Floating Rate Loan is subject to two remaining one year extension options, and requires that interest be paid at an annual rate of SOFR plus a premium of 2.77%. We are vulnerable to changes in the U.S. dollar based on short term interest rates, specifically SOFR. In conjunction with these borrowings, to hedge our exposure to risks related to changes in SOFR, we purchased interest rate caps with a SOFR strike rate equal to 2.25% for the ILPT Floating Rate Loan and 3.04% for the Mountain Floating Rate Loan. In October 2024, we exercised the first of our three, one year extension options for the maturity date of this loan. In connection with the exercise of the extension, we purchased a one year interest rate cap for $16,975 with a SOFR strike rate equal to 2.78%, which replaced the previous interest rate cap with a SOFR strike rate equal to 2.25%.
In addition, upon renewal or refinancing of these obligations, we are vulnerable to increases in interest rate premiums, including increases in the cost of replacement interest rate caps, due to market conditions and our perceived credit risk. Generally, a change in interest rates would not affect the value of our floating rate debt but would affect our operating results. The following table presents the approximate impact a one percentage point increase in interest rates would have on our annual floating rate interest expense at September 30, 2024, including the impact of our interest rate caps:

(1)Based on the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
(2)A one percentage point increase in interest rates would not have an impact on annual total interest expense for our floating rate debt because current interest rates exceed the strike rates of our interest rate caps. However, a one percentage point increase in our weighted average interest rate percentage of our floating rate loan debt at September 30, 2024 would result in a weighted average interest rate of 6.98%, total interest expense per year of $186,568 and a decrease in annual earnings per share of $2.84.
The foregoing table shows the impact of an immediate one percentage point change in floating interest rates, including the impact of our interest rate caps. Our exposure to fluctuations in floating interest rates will increase or decrease in the future with increases or decreases in the outstanding amounts of any floating rate debt we may incur and the impact, if any, of interest rate caps we may purchase. Generally, if interest rates were to change gradually over time, the impact would be spread over time.
Fixed Rate Debt
There have been no material changes to market interest rate risks associated with our fixed rate debt during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. For a discussion of market interest rate risks associated with our fixed rate debt, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” included in Part II, Item 7A of our 2023 Annual Report.

•Our ability to sell additional equity interests in, or contribute additional properties to, our existing joint ventures, to enter into additional real estate joint ventures or to attract co-venturers and benefit from our existing joint ventures or any real estate joint ventures we may enter into,
