PLYMOUTH INDUSTRIAL REIT REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

 

BOSTON, February 26, 2025 – Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. (NYSE: PLYM) (–“Plymouth” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter, fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and other recent developments.

 

Fourth Quarter, Full Year 2024 and Subsequent Highlights

§ Reported results for the fourth quarter of 2024 reflect net income attributable to common stockholders of $3.25 per weighted average common share; Core Funds from Operations attributable to common stockholders and unit holders (“Core FFO”) of $0.46 per weighted average common share and units; and Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) of $0.40 per weighted average common share and units. Reported results for the full year 2024 reflect net income attributable to common stockholders of $3.06 per weighted average common share; Core FFO of $1.83 per weighted average common share and units; and AFFO of $1.74 per weighted average common share and units.
§ Same store NOI (“SS NOI”) increased 1.1% on a GAAP basis excluding early termination income for the fourth quarter compared with the same period in 2023; where it decreased 0.5% on a cash basis excluding early termination income. SS NOI increased 1.5% on a GAAP basis excluding early termination income for 2024 compared with the same period in 2023; where it increased 4.1% on a cash basis excluding early termination income.
§ Commenced leases during the fourth quarter experienced a 19.4% increase in rental rates on a cash basis from leases greater than six months. Commenced leases during the full year 2024 experienced a 17.1% increase in rental rates on a cash basis from leases greater than six months. Through February 24, 2025, executed leases scheduled to commence during 2025, excluding leases associated with new construction, total an aggregate of 4,276,832 square feet, all of which are associated with terms of at least six months. The Company will experience a 12.7% increase in rental rates on a cash basis from these leases.
§ On November 6, entered into a $600 million amended and restated unsecured credit facility that provides expanded borrowing capacity, extended maturities and enhanced ability to pursue other unsecured debt.
§ On November 13, completed the previously announced contribution of 34 properties located in and around the Chicago MSA to a joint venture with Sixth Street Partners, LLC for a total purchase price of $356.6 million.
§ On December 19, acquired a portfolio of primarily small bay industrial properties in Cincinnati, Ohio totaling 258,082 square feet for $20.1 million, which equates to an anticipated initial NOI yield of 6.8%.
§ On February 5, 2025, sold a 33,688-square-foot flex building in Memphis, TN to an end user at a price of $2.4 million. The building was part of a portfolio acquired in July 2024 for $100.5 million.
§ On February 26, 2025, the board of directors of the Company authorized a share repurchase program for up to an aggregate amount of $90.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock.
§ Issued full year 2025 guidance ranges for net loss per weighted average common share of $0.26 to $0.23 and Core FFO of $1.85 to $1.89 per weighted average common share and units along with accompanying assumptions.

 

Jeff Witherell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Plymouth, noted, “During 2024, our focus on driving organic growth through leasing and improved property operations resulted in a 17% increase in cash rent spreads on renewals and new leases. With nearly one third of our existing leases scheduled to expire over the next two years, we see further opportunity to increase rents. We also entered into an exciting partnership with Sixth Street by expanding our platform and providing access to a significant amount of capital to fuel accretive growth to benefit our shareholders. Based on our capital allocation decisions, improved liquidity on our balance sheet, and a strong mix of assets in the Golden Triangle, we believe Plymouth is well-positioned to take advantage of market opportunities in 2025.”

 

Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter of 2024

On November 13, 2024, Plymouth Industrial OP, LP completed the previously announced contribution of 100% of its equity interests in directly and indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries owning 34 properties located in and around the Chicago MSA (the “Chicago Portfolio”) to Isosceles JV, LLC, an affiliate of Sixth Street Partners, LLC (the “Sixth Street Joint Venture”) for a total purchase price of $356.6 million. With the closing of the Sixth Street Joint Venture and the deconsolidation of the Chicago Portfolio, the Company will include its share of the results of the unconsolidated joint venture for the purpose of calculating the non-GAAP measures of FFO, Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Debt metrics. The Company’s 35% equity interest in the Sixth Street Joint Venture will be accounted for as an equity method investment. The Company’s initial investment is recorded at cost within the consolidated balance sheets and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings or losses and cash contributions and distributions. The Company’s share of net income or loss from the ventures is included within the consolidated statements of operations.

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was $146.2 million, or $3.25 per weighted average common share outstanding, compared with net income attributable to common stockholders of $9.2 million, or $0.20 per weighted average common share outstanding, for the same period in 2023. The year-over-year improvement was primarily due to a $136.8 million net gain on sale of real estate related to the contribution of Chicago Portfolio, net operating income contributed from acquisitions, decreased interest expenses resulting from the assignment of the Transamerica Loan to the Sixth Street Joint Venture, pay off of the line of credit and Midland National Life Insurance Mortgage, partially offset by a decrease in net operating income from the deconsolidation of the Chicago Portfolio. Weighted average common shares outstanding for the fourth quarters ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were 45.0 million and 44.9 million, respectively.

Consolidated total revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 were $47.6 million, compared with $50.8 million for the same period in 2023.

 

NOI for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was $33.2 million compared with $35.6 million for the same period in 2023. Decrease in NOI was primarily driven by the deconsolidation of the Chicago Portfolio, partially offset by NOI contribution from acquisitions. Same store NOI (“SS NOI”) excluding early termination income and the Chicago Portfolio – GAAP basis for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was $27.1 million compared with $27.0 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of 0.1%. SS NOI excluding early termination income and the Chicago Portfolio – Cash basis for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was $26.8 million compared with $26.5 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of 1.1%. SS NOI for the fourth quarter was positively impacted by rent escalations and renewal and new leasing spreads, offset by the transitory vacancy within two of our Cleveland buildings. The same store portfolio is comprised of 167 buildings totaling 25.7 million square feet, or 88.0% of the Company’s total portfolio, and was 95.2% occupied as of December 31, 2024.

EBITDAre for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was $30.7 million compared with $31.3 million for the same period in 2023.

 

Core FFO for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was $21.1 million compared with $21.6 million for the same period in 2023, primarily as a result of the net impact of the deconsolidation of the Chicago Portfolio and recognition of our proportionate share of the Sixth Street Joint Venture Core FFO, increase in Series C Preferred Unit cash and paid-in-kind dividends, offset by a decrease in interest expense and acquisition activity as referenced above. The Company reported Core FFO for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 of $0.46 per weighted average common share and unit compared with $0.47 per weighted average common share and unit for the same period in 2023. Weighted average common shares and units outstanding for the fourth quarters ended December 31, 2024, and 2023 were 45.9 million and 45.7 million, respectively.

 

AFFO for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was $18.6 million, or $0.40 per weighted average common share and unit, compared with $22.0 million, or $0.48 per weighted average common share and unit, for the same period in 2023. The results reflected the aforementioned changes in Core FFO increased recurring capital expenditures as a result of leasing activity and decrease within non- cash interest expense driven by the aforementioned assignment and payoff of debt.

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for complete definitions of NOI, EBITDAre, Core FFO and AFFO and the financial tables accompanying this press release for reconciliations of net income to NOI, EBITDAre, Core FFO and AFFO.

 

Liquidity and Capital Markets Activity

As of February 24, 2025, the Company’s current cash balance was approximately $9.0 million, excluding operating expense escrows of approximately $1.3 million, and it has approximately $457.0 million of capacity under the existing unsecured line of credit.

As previously disclosed, on November 6, 2024, Plymouth entered into a $600 million amended and restated unsecured credit facility that provides expanded borrowing capacity, extended maturities and enhanced ability to pursue other unsecured debt.

 

 

The new unsecured credit facility is comprised of a revolving credit facility that expanded from $350 million to $500 million and a $100 million term loan, each of which matures in November 2028 and has one, one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions. The facility complements the Company’s existing $200 million term loan that matures in February 2027 and has a fixed rate swap of SOFR at 1.527% and an existing $150 million term loan that matures in May 2027 and has a fixed rate swap of SOFR at 2.904%.

Quarterly Distributions to Stockholders

On January 31, 2025, the Company paid a regular quarterly common stock dividend of $0.24 per share for the fourth quarter of 2024 to stockholders of record on December 31, 2024.

Investment and Disposition Activity

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had wholly-owned real estate investments consisting of 129 industrial properties located in eleven states with an aggregate of approximately 29.3 million rentable square feet.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company acquired a portfolio of primarily small bay industrial properties in Cincinnati, Ohio for $20.1 million, which equates to an anticipated initial NOI yield of 6.8%. The portfolio consists of nine buildings totaling 258,082 square feet that are currently 96.9% leased to 23 tenants with a weighted average lease term of approximately 2.75 years. The Company has a second tranche of this portfolio that is under contract for $17.9 million, which equates to an anticipated initial yield of 7.3%, and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025, contingent on the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, which cannot be assured. This portfolio consists of four buildings in Cincinnati totaling 240,578 square feet that are currently 98.0% leased to nine tenants with a weighted average lease term of approximately 3.75 years

 

Sixth Street Chicago Joint Venture and Related Transactions

On November 13, 2024, Plymouth Industrial OP, LP completed the Sixth Street Joint Venture for a total purchase price of $356.6 million. The JV portfolio consists of 34 buildings with 5,957,335 square feet and a portfolio occupancy of 93.1% with a blended mix of 59.1% multi-tenant and 40.9% single tenant.

 

As previously disclosed, in August 2024, the Company, through its Operating Partnership, issued 60,910 Non-Convertible Cumulative Series C Preferred Units (“Series C Preferred Units”) and, at a later date, will sell additional 79,090 Series C Preferred Units at a price of $1,000 per Series C Preferred Unit within 270 days upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) warrants that are exercisable into 11,760,000 of OP Units. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has drawn approximately $60.9 million of the $140.0 million Series C Preferred Units. The remaining draw on the Series C Preferred Units is represented on the balance sheets as a forward contract asset. This asset represents the fair market value (FMV) of the Company’s contractual obligation to draw the remaining approximately $79.1 million of the Series C Preferred Units. The warrants are reflected at FMV in liabilities on the balance sheets and will be marked to market each reporting period. The warrants, upon exercise, can be net settled in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock at the Company’s sole election.

Leasing Activity

Leases commencing during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024, all of which have terms of at least six months, totaled an aggregate of 1,532,105 square feet. These leases include 1,042,732 square feet of renewal leases and 489,373 square feet of new leases. Rental rates under these leases reflect a 19.4% increase on a cash basis, with renewal leases reflecting a 12.6% increase on a cash basis and new leases reflecting a 30.2% increase on a cash basis. Same store occupancy at December 31, 2024 was 95.2%. Total portfolio occupancy at December 31, 2024 was 92.5% and reflects a 110-basis-point negative impact from previously disclosed tenancy issues in Cleveland, a 10-basis-point positive impact from the inclusion of the recently acquired Cincinnati portfolio, and a 70-basis- point negative impact from net leasing activity in the fourth quarter of 2024. These figures include the Sixth Street Joint Venture’s (as defined below) Chicago portfolio, which saw a 14.1% cash rental rate increase and had an occupancy of 93.1% at December 31, 2024.

Executed leases commencing during 2024, all of which had terms of at least six months, totaled an aggregate of 5,827,136 square feet. These leases, which represent 71.4% of total 2024 expirations, include 4,180,593 square feet of renewal leases (21.4% of these renewal leases were associated with contractual renewals; there are no remaining 2024 contractual renewals) and 1,646,543 square feet of new leases, of which 138,924 square feet was vacant at the start of 2024. The total square footage of new leases commenced excludes 160,292 square feet of development leasing completed in 2024. Rental rates under these leases reflect a 17.1% increase on a cash basis, with renewal leases reflecting a 12.9% increase in rental rates on a cash basis and new leases reflecting a 28.2% increase on a cash basis. These figures include the Chicago joint venture portfolio, which saw a 17.0% cash rental rate increase.

 

The Company has executed a two-year lease at its 769,500-square-foot Class A industrial building in the Metro East submarket of St. Louis, Missouri that commenced on January 15, 2025. The lease is for 600,000 square feet during the first year and 450,000 square feet during the second year with a major international logistics service provider. This deal was done on an “as is” basis with no abatements making it very attractive from a net lease rate perspective. While we continue to actively market the balance of the building, we are also working with our new tenant on expansion options.

 

 

Through February 24, 2025, the Company has already executed 3,876,323 square feet of leases that will commence during 2025, or 51.7% of its total 2025 expirations. These leases included 3,342,122 square feet of renewal leases and 842,210 square feet of new leases, of which 675,487 square feet was vacant at the start of 2025. The Company expects to experience a 16.6% increase in rental rates on a cash basis from these leases with renewal leases experiencing a 16.4% increase (15.7% of these renewals were contractual) and new leases experience a 17.6% increase on a cash basis (excluding the abovementioned St. Louis lease). The St. Louis lease was lower on a face rent basis than the prior lease but higher on a net lease rate basis. With this leasing overall occupancy is currently up to 94.0%.

 

Of the 3,683,898 square feet of 2025 lease expirations, the largest remaining spaces include 624,159 square feet in St. Louis, which we are expecting to renew, and 772,450 square feet in Columbus, which is expected to downsize or vacate. A 300,000-square-foot replacement tenant has been identified in Columbus, which we expect to have executed in the near-term.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Net Operating Income (NOI): We consider net operating income, or NOI, to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income in that it helps both investors and management understand the core operations of our properties. We define NOI as total revenue (including rental revenue and tenant recoveries) less property-level operating expenses. NOI excludes depreciation and amortization, income tax provision, general and administrative expenses, impairments, loss in investment of unconsolidated joint ventures, gain or losses on sale of real estate, interest expense, gain on financing transaction, loss on interest rate swap, unrealized loss from interest rate swap, appreciation (depreciation) of warrants and other non-operating items.

 

EBITDAre: We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). EBITDAre represents net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, before interest expense, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization, gain on sale of real estate, appreciation (depreciation) of warrants, impairments, gain on financing transaction, loss on interest rate swap, unrealized loss from interest rate swap and loss on extinguishment of debt. Our proportionate share of EBITDAre for unconsolidated joint ventures is calculated to reflect EBITDAre on the same basis. We believe that EBITDAre is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of our operating performance as a real estate company as it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of our industrial properties.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”): Funds from operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of a REIT’s operating performance, thereby, providing investors the potential to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our operating performance as it is based on a net income analysis of property portfolio performance that excludes non-cash items such as depreciation. The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values rise and fall with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT, using historical accounting for depreciation, could be less informative. In December 2018, NAREIT issued a white paper restating the definition of FFO. The purpose of the restatement was not to change the fundamental definition of FFO, but to clarify existing NAREIT guidance. The restated definition of FFO is as follows: Net Income (Loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding: (i) Depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) Gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, (iii) Gain and losses from change in control, and (iv) Impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.

 

We define FFO, consistent with the NAREIT definition. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. Other equity REITs may not calculate FFO as we do, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”): We calculate Core FFO by adjusting FFO for items such as dividends paid or accrued to holders of our preferred stock and redeemable non-controlling interest, acquisition and transaction related expenses for transactions not completed, gain on financing transaction, income tax provision, and certain non-cash operating expenses such as unrealized loss from interest rate swap, loss on interest rate swap, appreciation (depreciation) of warrants and loss on extinguishment of debt. We believe that Core FFO is a useful supplemental measure in addition to FFO by adjusting for items that are not considered by us to be part of the period-over-period operating performance of our property portfolio, thereby, providing a more meaningful and consistent comparison of our operating and financial performance during the periods presented below. As with FFO, our reported Core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ Core FFO, should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

 

Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”): Adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, is presented in addition to Core FFO. AFFO is defined as Core FFO, excluding certain non-cash operating revenues and expenses, capitalized interest and recurring capitalized expenditures. Recurring capitalized expenditures include expenditures required to maintain and re-tenant our properties, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. AFFO further adjusts Core FFO for certain other non-cash items, including the amortization or accretion of above or below market rents included in revenues, straight line rent adjustments, non-cash equity compensation, non- cash interest expense and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our proportionate share of AFFO for unconsolidated joint ventures is calculated to reflect AFFO on the same basis.

We believe AFFO provides a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance because it provides a consistent comparison of our operating performance across time periods that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of our properties. As a result, we believe that the use of AFFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our operating performance. As with Core FFO, our reported AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ AFFO, should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

An aerial view of a factory

Description automatically generated   A building with a parking lot and grass

Description automatically generated  

Negotiated deal that was initially a sublease on 187,205 square feet that turned into a direct lease.

Four-year deal, no downtime, no external brokers and no tenant improvements. Rental rate increase of 124% over expiring rent.

The property was acquired in 2020 at an initial NOI yield of 5.1%. Stabilized yield is now 12.0% with annual lease escalations averaging 2.5%.

 

Sold a 33,688-square-foot flex building in Memphis, TN to an end user at a price of $2.4 million. The building was part of a portfolio Plymouth acquired in July 2024 for $100.5 million.

This was a non-core asset leased on a short-term basis to a tenant known to be vacating at year end. The sale proceeds will be retained within the portfolio to fund leasing activities and the ongoing conversion of a 106,000-square-foot call center building back to its original warehouse format to accommodate multiple industrial users.

 

Purchased a 258,082-square-foot, 9-building industrial portfolio in Cincinnati, OH during the quarter.

The portfolio was acquired for $20.1 million at a going-in NOI yield of 6.8%.

At acquisition, the portfolio was 96.9% leased to 23 tenants with a weighted average remaining lease term of 2.8 years. In-place rents are consistent with our portfolio average mark-to-market of 18% to 20%.

Glossary

 

This glossary contains additional details for sections throughout this Supplemental Information, including explanations and reconciliations of certain non-GAAP financial measures, and the reasons why we use these supplemental measures of performance and believe they provide useful information to investors. Additional detail can be found in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as other documents filed with or furnished to the SEC from time to time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Definitions:

Net Operating Income (NOI): We consider net operating income to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income in that it helps both investors and management understand the core operations of our properties. We define NOI as total revenue (including rental revenue and tenant recoveries) less property-level operating expenses. NOI excludes depreciation and amortization, income tax provision, general and administrative expenses, impairments, loss in investment of unconsolidated joint ventures, gain or losses on sale of real estate, interest expense, gain on financing transaction, loss on interest rate swap, unrealized loss from interest rate swap, appreciation (depreciation) of warrants and other non-operating items.

Cash Net Operating Income (Cash NOI): We define Cash NOI as NOI excluding straight-line rent adjustments and amortization of above and below market leases.

EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA: We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). EBITDAre represents net income(loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, before interest expense, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization, gain on sale of real estate property, appreciation (depreciation) of warrants, impairments, gain on financing transaction, loss on interest rate swap, unrealized loss from interest rates swap and loss on extinguishment of debt. Our proportionate share of EBITDAre for unconsolidated joint ventures is calculated to reflect EBITDAre on the same basis. We believe that EBITDAre is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of our operating performance as a real estate company as it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of our industrial properties.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by adding or subtracting from EBITDAre the following items: (i) non-cash stock compensation, (ii) loss on extinguishment of debt, (iii) acquisition expenses (iv) the proforma impacts of acquisition, dispositions and developments and (v) non-cash impairments on real estate lease, (vi) adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures . We believe that EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA are helpful to investors as supplemental measures of our operating performance as a real estate company as they are direct measures of the actual operating results of our industrial properties. EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA should not be used as measures of our liquidity and may not be comparable to how other REITs calculate EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA.

Funds From Operations (FFO): Funds from operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of a REIT’s operating performance, thereby, providing investors the potential to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our operating performance as it is based on a net income analysis of property portfolio performance that excludes non-cash items such as depreciation. The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values rise and fall with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT, using historical accounting for depreciation, could be less informative. In December 2018, NAREIT issued a white paper restating the definition of FFO. The purpose of the restatement was not to change the fundamental definition of FFO, but to clarify existing NAREIT guidance. The restated definition of FFO isas follows: Net Income (Loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding:(i) Depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) Gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, (iii) Gain and losses from change in control, and (iv) Impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. We define FO, consistent with the NAREIT definition. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. Other equity REITs may not calculate FFO as we do, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

 

Q4 2024 Supplemental | 31

 

Glossary (continued)

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Definitions (continued):

Core Funds from Operations (Core FFO): We calculate Core FFO by adjusting FFO for items such as dividends paid or accrued to holders of our preferred stock and redeemable non-controlling interest, acquisition and transaction related expenses for transactions not completed, gain on financing transaction, income tax provision, and certain non-cash operating expenses such as unrealized loss from interest rate swap, loss on interest rate swap, appreciation (depreciation) of warrants and loss on extinguishment of debt. We believe that Core FFO is a useful supplemental measure in addition to FFO by adjusting for items that are not considered by us to be part of the period-over-period operating performance of our property portfolio, thereby, providing a more meaningful and consistent comparison of our operating and financial performance during the periods presented below. As with FFO, our reported Core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ Core FFO, should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

Adjusted Funds from Operations attributable to common stockholders (AFFO): Adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, is presented in addition to Core FFO. AFFO is defined as Core FFO, excluding certain non-cash operating revenues and expenses, capitalized interest and recurring capitalized expenditures. Recurring capitalized expenditures include expenditures required to maintain and re-tenant our properties, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. AFFO further adjusts Core FFO for certain other non-cash items, including the amortization or accretion of above or below market rents included in revenues, straight line rent adjustments, non-cash equity compensation, non-cash interest expense and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our proportionate share of AFFO for unconsolidated joint ventures is calculated to reflect AFFO on the same basis.

We believe AFFO provides a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance because it provides a consistent comparison of our operating performance across time periods that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of our properties. As a result, we believe that the use of AFFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our operating performance.

As with Core FFO, our reported AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ AFFO, should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

Net Debt and Preferred Stock to Adjusted EBITDA: Net debt and preferred stock (inclusive of preferred stock and redeemable non-controlling interest) to Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to investors as a supplemental measure in evaluating balance sheet leverage. Net debt and preferred stock is equal to the sum of total consolidated and our pro rata share of unconsolidated joint venture debt less cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, plus preferred stock calculated at its liquidation preference as of the end of the period.  

Q4 2024 Supplemental | 32

 

Glossary (continued)

 

Other Definitions:

GAAP: U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Lease Type: We define our triple net leases in that the tenant is responsible for all aspects of and costs related to the property and its operation during the lease term. We define our modified net leases in that the landlord is responsible for some property related expenses during the lease term, but the cost of most of the expenses is passed through to the tenant. We define our gross leases in that the landlord is responsible for all aspects of and costs related to the property and its operation during the lease term.

Non-Recurring Capital Expenditures: Non-recurring capital expenditures include capital expenditures of long-lived improvements required to upgrade/replace existing systems or items that previously did not exist. Non-recurring capital expenditures also include costs associated with repositioning a property, redevelopment/development and capital improvements known at the time of acquisition.

Occupancy: We define occupancy as the percentage of total leasable square footage as the earlier of lease term commencement or revenue recognition in accordance to GAAP as of the close of the reporting period.

Recurring Capital Expenditures: Recurring capitalized expenditures includes capital expenditures required to maintain and re-tenant our buildings, tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

Replacement Cost: is based on the Marshall & Swift valuation methodology for the determination of building costs. The Marshall & Swift building cost data and analysis is widely recognized within the U.S. legal system and has been written into in law in over 30 U.S. states and recognized in the U.S. Treasury Department Internal Revenue Service Publication. Replacement cost includes land reflected at the allocated cost in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC 805.

Same Store Portfolio: The Same Store Portfolio is a subset of the consolidated portfolio and includes properties that are wholly-owned by the Company as of December 31, 2022. The Same Store Portfolio is evaluated and defined on an annual basis based on the growth and size of the consolidated portfolio. The Same Store Portfolio excludes properties that are classified as repositioning, lease-up during 2023 or 2024 (4 buildings representing approximately 962,000 of rentable square feet placed into service during 2023 or 2024) or under contract for sale. For 2024, the Same Store Portfolio consists of 113 properties aggregating 25.7 million rentable square feet. Properties that are being repositioned generally are defined as those properties where a significant amount of space is held vacant in order to implement capital improvements that enhance the functionality, rental cash flows, and value of that property. We define a significant amount of space at a property using both the size of the space and its proportion to the properties total square footage as a determinate. Our computation of same store NOI may not be comparable to other REITs.

Weighted Average Lease Term Remaining: The average contractual lease term remaining as of the close of the reporting period (in years) weighted by square footage.

Glossary (Financials)

 

Balance Sheet:

Financing lease liability: As of December 31, 2024, we have a single finance lease in which we are the sublessee for a ground lease with a remaining lease term of approximately 31 years. Refer to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for expanded disclosure.

Forward contract asset: Represents the FMV of the Company’s contractual obligation to draw the undrawn $79.1 million of the Series C Preferred Units (as defined herein) as of the end of the period.

Interest rate swaps: Represents the fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps. We minimize the credit risk in our derivative financial instruments by transacting with various high-quality counterparties. Our exposure to credit risk at any point is generally limited to amounts recorded as assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. A summary of the Company's interest rate swaps and accounting are detailed in Note 8 of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Investment of unconsolidated joint ventures: Represents our share of earnings (losses) related to our investment in an unconsolidated joint venture. The Isosceles Venture Agreement provided for liquidation rights and distribution priorities that were different from the Company’s stated ownership percentage based on total equity contributions. As such, the Company used the hypothetical-liquidation-at-book-value method (“HLBV”) to determine its equity in the earnings of Isosceles. The HLBV method is commonly applied to equity investments in real estate, where cash distribution percentages vary at different points in time and are not directly linked to an investor's ownership percentage.

Net investment in sales-type lease: During Q1 2024, the tenant occupying a single tenant industrial property located in Columbus, Ohio, provided notice of its intention to exercise its option to purchase the property at a fixed price of $21,480. As a result, we reclassified the respective real estate property to net investment in sales-type lease totaling $21,480 on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, effective as of the date of tenant notice, in the following amounts: (i) $19,605 from Real estate properties, (ii) $8,094 from Accumulated depreciation, (iii) $877 from net Deferred lease intangible assets, and (iv) $1,062 from Other assets. Further, we recognized a Gain on sale of real estate of $8,030 related to this transaction. On August 30, 2024, we completed the sale of the property and recognized selling costs of $234. Earnings from our Net investment in sales-type leases are included in Rental revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and totaled $631, $0 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Prior to this reclassification to Net investment in sales-type lease, earnings from this lease were recognized in Rental revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Net investment in sales-type leases are assessed for credit loss allowances. No such allowances were recorded as of December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Real estate assets/liabilities held for sale, net: On August 26, 2024, the Operating Partnership (the “OP”) entered into a Contribution Agreement with an affiliate of Sixth Street Partners, LLC (the “Investor”), in which the Operating Partnership contributed 34 wholly-owned properties located in and around Chicago (each a “Chicago Property” and collectively the “Chicago Properties”) into a joint venture with the Investor in which will be owned 35% by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership and 65% by the Investor. The contribution and closing conditions of the joint venture occurred during the fourth quarter of 2024. The aggregate purchase price for the Chicago Properties is $356,600, which includes the assumption by the joint venture of $56,898 of debt held by the OP that is currently outstanding with Transamerica Life Insurance Company and secured by certain Chicago Properties. An additional $10,506 of debt held by the OP outstanding with Midland Nation Life Insurance and secured by a single Chicago Property.

Upon execution of the Contribution Agreement, the carrying amounts of the Chicago Properties were classified as "Real estate assets held for sale, net" and the corresponding carrying amount of the secured mortgages (the Transamerica Loan and the Midland National Life Insurance Mortgage) were classified "Real estate liabilities held for sale, net" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Upon classifying the Chicago Properties as being held for sale, the Company ceased recognizing depreciation on the Chicago Properties.

Unsecured debt, net: Includes borrowings under line of credit and term loans. Refer to Debt Summary in this Supplemental Information for additional details.

Redeemable Non-controlling interest - Series C Preferred Units: On August 26, 2024, the Company, through its OP, issued 60,910 Non-Convertible Series C Preferred Units (“Series C Preferred Units”) at a price of $1,000 per Series C Preferred Unit, for gross proceeds of $60,910, to the Investor. Bundled with the issuance of the 60,910 Series C Units, the Operating Partnership also issued (i) a forward contract in which the OP will sell an addition 79,090 Series C Preferred Units at a price of $1,000 per unit for gross proceeds of $79,090 before May 23rd, 2025, and (ii) warrants that are exercisable into OP Partnership Units (see “Warrant Liability”). The gross proceeds at issuance were first allocated to the Warrants, resulting in the Company recognizing a book loss of $21 million and recording the Series C Preferred Units for a nominal amount of $0.01.

Holders are entitled to receive, on a cumulative basis, (i) distributions in the form of fully paid Series C Preferred Units known as “PIK Distributions” which will be payable at the “PIK Distribution Rate” and (ii) distributions in the form of cash known as “Cash Distributions” which will be payable at the “Cash Distribution Rate.”

The Cash Distribution Rate is a rate per annum equal to (a) 4.0% within the first 5 years after August 26, 2024 (the “Original Issue Date”), (b) 8.0% in the 6th and 7th years after the Original Issue Date, and (c) 12.0% starting from the 8th year after the Original Issue Date and each subsequent year thereafter. The PIK Distribution Rate is a rate per annum equal to (a) within the first 5 years after the Original Issue Date, 7.0% less the applicable Cash Distribution Rate, (b) in the 6th and 7th years after the Original Issue Date, the greater of: (i) 12.0% or (ii) SOFR plus 650 basis points less the applicable Cash Distribution Rate, and (c) from the 8th year after the Original Issue Date and each subsequent year thereafter, the greater of (i) 16.0% or (ii) SOFR plus 1,050 basis points, less the applicable Cash Distribution Rate. Both PIK and Cash Distributions are recognized within Net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest within our condensed consolidated statements of operation and are recognized as a deduction to FFO to derive Core FFO.

Warrant liability: Represents the FMV of the warrants issued by the OP on August 26, 2024, to issue and sell to the holder the right to purchase Operating Partnership Units (“OP Units”) as of the end of the respective period. As of December 31, 2024, the associated strike price and amount of units outstanding for each tranche of warrants are as follows:

- The first tranche is for 4,517,676 OP Units with an updated strike price of $24.65 per unit
- The second tranche is for 3,011,784 OP Units with an updated strike price of $25.62 per unit
- The third tranche is for 4,517,676 OP Units with an initial updated price of $26.60 per unit

The warrants provide antidilution adjustments, as well as adjustments in the strike price of the warrants to an amount equal to the issuance price per common share or OP Unit if the Company or the OP issues (or otherwise sells) any shares/units of common stock, OP Units, or equity-linked securities and if the Company or the OP reprices or amends any of its existing equity-linked securities. Such adjustments include the occurrence of stock dividends, splits or combinations, the distribution of rights, options or warrants of the Company’s common stock, distribution if shares of capital stock or other property, cash dividends and distributions, tender or exchange offers made by the Company or the Parent for shares of common stock and degressive issuances.

Holders of the warrants will have the right to submit all, or any whole number of warrants that is less than all of their warrants for exercise at any time during the first 5 years after the date of issuance of the warrants. This can be extended to 7 years if the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock for the 90 consecutive trading days ending on the 5th anniversary of the issuance date is equal to or less than the Strike Price of the warrants.

Upon the exercise of any warrant, the Company at its election will settle such exercise by paying or delivering OP Units according to either a physical or cashless settlement. In the event the Company elects to deliver OP units upon settlement, the holder can elect to exchange the OP Units into common shares of the Company on a one-to-one basis, however, the Company can elect to settle these OP Units for either cash or shares of the Company’s common stock.

Exhibit 99.3

 

 

FOURTH QUARTER 2024 PREPARED COMMENTARY

FEBRUARY 25, 2025

 

This prepared commentary should be read in conjunction with the earnings press release, quarterly supplemental financial information and the Form 10-K when filed. All this information can be found on our Investor Relations page at ir.plymouthreit.com.

 

Before we get into the relevant detail from each area of the company, we’d like to call out some of the important takeaways from the quarter and the year:

· The results were in line with our expectations for the quarter and within the full year range for both Core FFO and net income at $0.46 per share and unit and $3.25 per weighted average common share, respectively. Additionally, AFFO was $0.40 per share and unit.
· SS NOI decreased 0.5% on a cash basis excluding early termination income for the quarter, while for the full year 2024, SS NOI increased 4.1% on a cash basis excluding early termination income compared with the same period in 2023.
· As disclosed in our January activity release, we made progress on our 2024 leasing opportunities, finishing with a 17.1% increase in rental rates on a cash basis - slightly below our expected mark-to-market of 18% to 20%.
· Our phase 1 development program consisting of 772,622 square feet across seven buildings was completed in 2024 and is 100% leased. The initial cash NOI yields on development projects completed is 7.5%.
· We completed the previously announced contribution of 34 properties located in and around the Chicago MSA totaling 5.8 million square feet to a joint venture with Sixth Street Partners, LLC for a total purchase price of $356.6 million.
· Our balance sheet improved with the JV proceeds along with a $600 million amended and restated unsecured credit facility that provides expanded borrowing capacity, extended maturities and enhanced our ability to pursue other unsecured debt.
· We acquired a 258,082-square-foot portfolio of industrial properties in Cincinnati, OH for $20.1 million, which equates to an initial NOI yield of 6.8%. The second tranche of this portfolio is under contract for $17.9 million, which equates to an initial NOI yield of 7.3%, and is expected to close in March 2025. In addition, we closed on another 263,000-square-foot industrial building in Cincinnati for $23.3 million on February 20, 2025, which equates to an initial NOI yield of 6.7%.
· Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA decreased sequentially for the eighth quarter in a row. We ended the year at 5.4x, which is half a turn less than we had originally anticipated for 2024. Until we are fully deployed with the JV proceeds this year, we would expect to stay in the 6 times range in 2025.

 

 

Plymouth Market Commentary

According to the latest Cushman & Wakefield, Moody’s Analytics CRE, and CBRE EA data, Plymouth’s markets experienced better trends than the broader national story on the industrial market in Q4 2024 and in what is projected for 2025. Cushman & Wakefield noted the following in their U.S National Industrial Q4 2024 Marketbeat and Midwest Industrial Insiders reports:

· Net absorption totaled 36.8 million square feet (msf) in the fourth quarter, up 10.5% quarter-over-quarter (QOQ). For 2024, 135 msf of industrial space was absorbed, on par with Cushman & Wakefield forecasts.
· The national average asking rent for industrial space rose by 0.9% QOQ to $10.13 per square foot (psf). Annual rent growth ticked marginally higher in the fourth quarter to 4.5%. In the Midwest at year-end 2024, the average net asking rental rates increased 8.0% to $6.59 per square foot psf with an additional 2.5% projected increase to $7.01 psf by year-end 2026.
· Driven by vacant, speculative supply, overall vacancy rose by 150 bps in 2024, to 6.7%. The pace of increase slowed significantly in the fourth quarter, suggesting vacancy may approach peak levels in the first half of 2025 amid softer completion totals and a moderation in space dispositions. Overall vacancy remained 30 bps below pre-pandemic levels, with half of the markets tracked by Cushman & Wakefield Research recording rates below 6.0% at year-end.
· Some markets with high speculative development or modest demand totals, such as Austin, Phoenix, Greenville and Las Vegas, posted double-digit vacancy rates. Vacancy rates continued to be nuanced by size segment with smaller industrial product (under 100,000 sf) remaining tight at 3.9%, which is the leasing segment that Plymouth mostly deals in with average tenant size at 58,340 sf. Big-box product (300,000+ sf) recorded a 10.7% vacancy rate, driven by 51% of YTD speculative deliveries in this segment. The rate at which vacant sublease space entered the market slowed in the fourth quarter as availabilities increased by just 5.0 msf. Only a few markets registered notable increases in sublet space in the fourth quarter.
· The Midwest industrial market is poised for an active 2025 and beyond as market fundamentals are forecasted to improve. The overall vacancy rate in the Midwest will reach 5.3% by year-end 2024, which is 210 basis points (bps) less than the average vacancy rate across all other regions. Additionally, the region’s vacancy rate is expected to decrease 50 bps by 2026 to 4.8%, the largest decrease amongst all other regions.

-2

 

 

The data from CBRE shows in the chart above that the vacancy rate for larger Class A buildings is more than 2.5 times more than smaller Class B properties, which supports the thesis that the increase in vacancy is largely due to big box speculative development coming online. According to Cushman & Wakefield, over 425 million sf was delivered in 2024 with 78% of new deliveries speculative, and only one-fourth of that space ended up being preleased before completion. The completion numbers dropped below 500 million sf mark for the first time since mid-year 2021 and 2025 numbers are projected to continue this trend.

 

-3

 

Nationally annual rent growth ticked marginally higher in the fourth quarter to 4.5%, fueled by the South region’s 6.0% YOY increase. Some rent increases were tied to deliveries of vacant, speculative industrial product, priced at a premium over market averages. However, 30% of U.S. markets saw annual declines, with notable drops along the West Coast. Asking rent growth is anticipated to slow to just over 2% in 2025 and 2026 before rising back to the 3% range (growth will continue to be market dependent) per Cushman & Wakefield. In Plymouth markets, according to Moody’s Analytics CRE data (which we’ve highlighted in the chart below), asking rents increased 2.4% during 2024 and are forecasted to grow 3.0% in 2025 with a five-year average annual asking rent growth of 3.5%. All Plymouth markets were in the 3.0% to 3.9% range. 

 

Development Program Update

The total investment in completed developments is approximately $70 million. The initial cash NOI yields on development projects completed is 7.5%.

 

The last project in the first phase of our 772,622-square-foot development program, the 52,920-square-foot fully leased industrial building in Jacksonville, was delivered on October 31, 2024, with cash rents commencing on December 1, 2024. Having completed a 10-year lease for 53,352 square feet during the fourth quarter for our last remaining space at Fisher Industrial Park in Cincinnati, we are now 100% leased in this phase of our development program.

Plymouth is in the early stages of constructing a spec-tenant development building on the last remaining site in our Liberty Business Park in Jacksonville, Florida. This new 42,000-square-foot building is projected to yield between 8% to 9% on a $5.7 million investment.

 

Beyond the Jacksonville project, Plymouth has 1.6 million square feet across six markets (see page 19 of the Supplemental), with approximately 400,000 square feet in Memphis and Cincinnati at various stages of pre-development. These sites could be ready for vertical construction in the short term.

 

Plymouth is partnering with the Green Building Initiative to align our environmental objectives with the execution of all new development and portfolio enhancement activities. Thus far, Plymouth has achieved a Three Green Globe certification on our Cincinnati development and a Two Green Globe certification on our completed developments in Boston, Jacksonville and Atlanta.

 

Leasing Update

2024 leasing activity finished with a strong fourth quarter, with our blended rental rates increasing 19.4% on a cash basis, compared to a third quarter blended rental rate of 12.2%. We believe this momentum will continue throughout 2025, where 14.0% of our total ABR is expiring.

 

The leasing results for Q4 and full year 2024 are broken down as follows for leases commencing during these periods (calculated on a cash basis):

· Fourth quarter
o 1,042,732 SF of renewal leases signed at a 12.6% increase
o Renewal rate was 68.1%
o 3.1% of these renewals were contractual
o 489,373 SF of new leases signed at a 30.2% increase
o Blended increase of 19.4% (Q1: 17.1%; Q2: 18.8%; Q3: 12.2%)
· Full year 2024
o 4,180,593 SF of renewal leases signed at a 12.9% increase
o Renewal rate was 71.7%
o 21.1% of these renewals were contractual
o 1,646,543 SF of new leases signed at a 28.2% increase
o Blended increase of 17.1% (2023: 21.0%; 2022: 18.5%; 2021: 11.1%)

Leases commencing during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024, all of which have terms of at least six months, totaled an aggregate of 1,532,105 square feet. These leases include 1,042,732 square feet of renewal leases and 489,373 square feet of new leases. Rental rates under these leases reflect a 19.4% increase on a cash basis, with renewal leases reflecting a 12.6% increase on a cash basis and new leases reflecting a 30.2% increase on a cash basis. Same store occupancy at December 31, 2024, was 95.2%. Total portfolio occupancy at December 31, 2024 was 92.5% and reflects a 110-basis-point negative impact from previously disclosed tenancy issues in Cleveland, a 10-basis-point positive impact from the inclusion of the recently acquired Cincinnati portfolio, and a 70-basis-point negative impact from net leasing activity in the fourth quarter of 2024. These figures include the Sixth Street Joint Venture’s Chicago portfolio, which saw a 14.1% cash rental rate increase and had an occupancy of 93.1% at December 31, 2024.

Excluding the Chicago portfolio leasing, the wholly-owned portfolio had 957,076 square feet commence during the quarter with 501,660 square feet renewed and 455,416 square feet leased to new tenants. The renewal rate was 52.4% with a 12.9% rental rate increase on renewals and 29.2% on new leases, resulting in an overall 21.7% cash rental rate increase. The fourth quarter occupancy rate, excluding the Chicago Portfolio, was 92.3%.

 

 

Executed leases commencing during 2024, all of which had terms of at least six months, totaled an aggregate of 5,827,136 square feet. These leases, which represent 71.4% of total 2024 expirations, include 4,180,593 square feet of renewal leases (21.1% of these renewal leases were associated with contractual renewals; there are no remaining 2024 contractual renewals) and 1,646,543 square feet of new leases, of which 138,924 square feet was vacant at the start of 2024. The total square footage of new leases commenced excludes 160,292 square feet of development leasing completed in 2024. Rental rates under these leases reflect a 17.1% increase on a cash basis, with renewal leases reflecting a 12.9% increase in rental rates on a cash basis and new leases reflecting a 28.2% increase on a cash basis. These figures include the Chicago joint venture portfolio, which saw a 17.0% cash rental rate increase. Excluding the Chicago portfolio leasing, the wholly-owned portfolio had 5,039,886 square feet commence during the year with 3,482,812 square feet renewed and 1,557,074 square feet leased to new tenants. The renewal rate was 69.1% with a 12.5% rental rate increase on renewals and 27.9% on new leases, resulting in an overall 17.4% cash rental rate increase.

 

Plymouth executed a two-year lease at its 769,500-square-foot Class A industrial building in the Metro East submarket of St. Louis, Missouri that commenced on January 15, 2025. The lease is for 600,000 square feet during the first year and 450,000 square feet during the second year with a major international logistics service provider. This deal was done on an “as is” basis with no abatements making it very attractive from a net effective rent perspective. While we continue to actively market the balance of the building, we are also working with our new tenant on expansion options.

The remaining 2025 expirations include 624,159 square feet in St. Louis, which we are expecting to renew in July, and 772,450 square feet in Columbus, which is expected to downsize or vacate. A 300,000-square-foot replacement tenant has been identified in Columbus, which we expect to have executed shortly. In total for 2025, we have 3,683,898 square feet of lease expirations.

 

-6

 

Through February 24, 2025, the Company has addressed 52% of its total 2025 expirations. These leases included 3,369,622 square feet of renewal leases and 740,487 square feet of new leases from vacant space at the start of 2025. In total, we have already executed 4,276,832 square feet of leases that will commence during 2025. Plymouth will experience a 12.7% increase in rental rates on a cash basis with renewal leases experiencing a 16.2% increase (7.7% of these renewals were contractual) and new leases experience a 0.9% increase on a cash basis. The new St. Louis lease was lower on a face rent basis than the prior lease but higher on a net lease rate basis. Excluding that lease, overall rental rates would have increased 16.7% and new leases would have increased 20.6%. As a result of this leasing activity, overall occupancy is up to 94.3%.

 

 

Disposition Update

We began the year having identified a number of potential dispositions that we could explore in 2024 and 2025. Our biggest deal was our transaction with Sixth Street Partners, where we completed the previously announced contribution of 100% of our equity interests in directly and indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries owning 34 properties located in and around the Chicago MSA to Isosceles JV, LLC, an affiliate of Sixth Street Partners, for a total purchase price of $356.6 million. The JV portfolio consists of 34 buildings with 5,957,335 square feet and a portfolio occupancy of 93.1% with a blended mix of 59.1% multi-tenant and 40.9% single tenant. Upon the derecognition of the Chicago Properties, the Company recognized a net gain of $136.8 million. This transaction is a good example of our goal for any potential dispositions – to provide accretive sources of capital to fund additional growth opportunities or, at a minimum, to pay down debt.

 

During 2024, we also completed one disposition with the sale of the 527,127-square-foot industrial property in Columbus, Ohio, to the tenant for approximately $21.1 million in net proceeds and recognized a net gain of $7.8 million. As we have previously stated, our preference is to redeploy to acquisitions where we could earn the spread over and above the exit cap rate on the sale to drive expansion in our key markets where we perform property management services in-house and create incremental value.

 

Sixth Street Update

With the closing of the joint venture, the Chicago properties have been deconsolidated and our initial investment in the unconsolidated joint venture is recorded on the balance sheet and our share of net income or loss from the joint venture will be included within the statement of operations. We will include our 35% share of the results of the unconsolidated joint venture for the purpose of calculating the non-GAAP measures of EBITDAre, FFO, AFFO, Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Debt metrics.

-7

 

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has drawn approximately $60.9 million of the $140.0 million Preferred. The remaining draw on the Preferred is represented on the balance sheets as a forward contract asset. This asset represents the fair market value (FMV) of the Company’s contractual obligation to draw the remaining approximately $79.1 million of the Preferred. The warrants are reflected at FMV in liabilities on the balance sheets and will be marked to market each reporting period. The warrants, upon exercise, can be net settled in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock at the Company’s sole election.

 

 

Acquisitions

With the turning of the calendar into 2025, we have been pleased with the uptick in new acquisition opportunities. During the first two months of the year, 28 deals totaling 16.8 million square feet and $1.8 billion of target value (5.8% seller target cap rate) have been reviewed/underwritten across our key markets.

 

Our active pipeline is currently comprised of 15 opportunities, containing an aggregate of 8.5 million square feet and a target value of over $1 billion. The average seller asking price across the active pipeline would equate to a going-in yield in the low 6 range.

 

We continue to see pockets of very aggressive capital across our markets, particularly for larger deals, which are commanding capitalization rates in the low- to mid-5% range. However, pricing in certain Midwest and Southeast markets has been more attractive recently, as demonstrated by our success with our latest acquisitions in Cincinnati, totaling $61.3 million at a blended going-in capitalization rate of 6.88%.

 

Earlier in the year, we acquired a 1,621,241-square-foot portfolio of industrial properties located across the Southeast and Northeast submarkets of Memphis, Tennessee. The purchase price of $100.5 million equates to an initial NOI yield of 8.0%. The portfolio consists of 14 buildings that are currently 94.0% leased to 46 tenants with a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 3.4 years. Existing contract rents are below market consistent with the Company’s targeted mark-to-market range of 18% to 20%. This most recent acquisition in Memphis reinforces our confidence in the market’s strong fundamentals and strategic importance. The city's world-class transportation infrastructure and central location continue to make it a key hub for industrial growth and long-term value creation.

Balance Sheet Update

We believe an already strong balance sheet was made stronger when we entered into a $600 million amended and restated unsecured credit facility that provided expanded borrowing capacity, extended maturities and enhanced ability to pursue other unsecured debt.

 

The new unsecured credit facility is comprised of:

  • A revolving credit facility that expanded from $350 million to $500 million, matures in November 2028 (compared with August 2025 previously) and has one, one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions; and
  • A $100 million term loan that that now matures in November 2028 (compared with August 2026 previously) and has one, one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions.

The facility complements the Company’s existing $200 million term loan that matures in February 2027 and has a fixed rate swap of SOFR at 1.527% and an existing $150 million term loan that matures in May 2027 and has a fixed rate swap of SOFR at 2.904%.

Some of the balance sheet highlights as of December 31, 2024, are as follows (see page 17 and 18 of the supplemental):

· Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA of 5.4x
· 72.7% of our total debt is unsecured
· 84.5% of our debt is fixed, including with the use of interest rate swaps with a total weighted average cost of 3.58%
· $480.0 million of availability on our unsecured credit facility

 

Discussion of Fourth Quarter of 2024

The fourth quarter saw Core FFO at $0.46 per share driven primarily by sequential improvement in leasing spreads, a full quarter contribution from the 1,621,241-square foot Memphis portfolio acquired in the third quarter, along with lower interest expense, partially offset by contribution and derecognition of the 34 property Chicago portfolio (the “Chicago Portfolio”) that seeded the joint venture with Sixth Street.

 

Same store NOI, including full quarter results of the Chicago Portfolio, and excluding early termination fees, experienced a 0.5% decrease on a cash basis during the quarter. While for the year, Same Store NOI saw an increase of 4.1%. Same store performance reflects the persistent transitory vacancy in Cleveland as disclosed in the prior quarter, along with planned lease-up of approximately 190,000 square feet in Cincinnati that has pushed to the first half of 2025.

-9

 

 

G&A for both the quarter and full year was lower, compared to last year’s period, respectively, bringing total G&A in at 10.9% of cash NOI for FY 2024, a 30-basis-point improvement compared with FY 2023.

 

Interest expense during the fourth quarter was down, compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to two factors: 1) the payoff of the line of credit ($202.4 million) and the Midland National Life Insurance Mortgage ($10.5 million); and 2) the assignment of the Transamerica Loan to the Sixth Street Joint Venture ($56.7 million). Secured debt outstanding declined by approximately $68.2 million sequentially.

 

During the quarter, we entered into a $600 million amended and restated unsecured credit facility that provides expanded borrowing capacity, extended maturities and enhanced ability to pursue other unsecured debt.

 

Discussion of 2025 Guidance and Assumptions

Our FY 2025 outlook (see page 9 of the supplemental) reflects the benefit of the lease up of the vacancies in Cleveland and St. Louis, incremental NOI from 2024 and 2025 acquisitions, partially offset by higher preferred dividends. At the midpoint of guidance of $1.87 per share, we assume the following roll forward from FY 2024 Core FFO of $1.83 per share:

· Proportionate share of FFO from the Chicago Portfolio - $0.09
· Lease up of the two Cleveland buildings and the 769,500-square-foot Class A industrial building in St. Louis - $0.07
· Decreased interest expense resulting from the payoff of the line of credit and Midland National Life Insurance Mortgage and the assignment of the Transamerica Loan during Q4 2024, partially offset by interest expense associated with utilizing the line of credit for 2025 acquisitions - $0.07
· Increase in Series C Preferred Unit dividends (cash + PIK) - ($0.15)
· Increase in G&A in-line with quarterly run rate as experienced during Q4 2024 - ($0.03)
· Net impact from the loss of consolidated NOI from the Chicago Portfolio ($0.42), offset by the full realization of NOI contribution of 2024 acquisitions and incremental NOI contribution from forecasted 2025 acquisitions of $0.41, resulting in a net impact of ($0.01).

Our FY 2025 guidance ranges for net loss and Core FFO per weighted average common share and units are noted below:

 

 

1 Our 2025 guidance refers to the Company's in-place portfolio as of February 26, 2025, and includes prospective acquisition volumes as outlined above. Our 2025 guidance does not include the impact of any prospective dispositions or capitalization activities.
2 The Same Store Portfolio consists of 168 buildings aggregating 26,107,300 rentable square feet, representing approximately 89.3% of the total in-place portfolio square footage as of February 26, 2025. The Same Store projected performance reflects an annual NOI on a cash basis, excluding termination income. The Same Store Portfolio is a subset of the consolidated portfolio and includes properties that are wholly-owned by the Company as of December 31, 2023.
3 Includes non-cash stock compensation of $5.1 million for 2025.
4 As of February 26, 2025, the Company has 46,041,197 common shares and units outstanding.
5 Series C Preferred dividend includes cash and accrued (PIK) dividends at an annualized rate of 7.0%.
6 Proportionate share of Core FFO from unconsolidated joint ventures adjusts for the Hypothetical Liquidation of Book Value (“HLBV”) calculation and resulting net loss on investment of unconsolidated joint ventures recognized within the Statements of Operations and adds back the Company's proportionate share of Core FFO from the unconsolidated joint venture.

 

Conclusion

2024 brought both challenges and opportunities. Historically low vacancy and record-high leasing activity have moderated to what we see as a more "normal" market. In Cleveland, a couple of tenants faced issues that led to forced bankruptcies. Despite this, Cleveland remains one of our tightest industrial markets, and our experienced Ohio team is actively working to backfill the space.

Across our portfolio, supply and demand fundamentals remain strong, reinforcing the resilience of our markets. The strategic Sixth Street transaction has positioned us to be net acquirers in 2025—an opportunity that the public equity markets did not provide for most of 2023 and 2024. Our current trading price remains at a significant discount to a conservative NAV, but our focus for 2025 remains unchanged: to work closely with our tenants, providing cost-effective industrial space that is functional, flexible, and safe, while continuing to drive long-term shareholder value.

 

Thank you for your continued interest and investment in Plymouth.
