Strong Cash Same‑Store NOI Growth in Q1
Cash same‑store NOI growth (excluding termination fees) was 8.7% for the quarter, driven by higher rental rates on new and renewal leasing, lower free rent and contractual rent bumps.
Large Cash Rental Rate Increases
Company has taken care of roughly 61% of 2026 rollovers by square footage and reported an overall cash rental rate increase for new and renewal leasing of ~41%, including a Southern California renewal (556,000 sq ft) that materially exceeded the top end of the 40% guidance range.
Development Leasing Wins

High‑Value Land Sale Pending
Ground lessee exercised an option to purchase 100 acres in Phoenix for $131 million (~$30 per land sq ft), ~3x local industrial land values; transaction expected to close in June and disclosed cap rate ~5.3% (on‑balance sheet sale).
FFO Stability (Excluding One‑Time Proxy Costs)
NAREIT FFO was $0.68 per diluted share in Q1 2026, unchanged YoY; excluding $0.04 per share of incremental advisory costs tied to a contested proxy campaign, FFO would have been $0.72 per share.
Low Bad Debt and Collections Progress
Bad debt expense was low at $100,000 in Q1 (guidance remains $250,000 per quarter) and a 3PL on the watch list made a lump‑sum payment of ~60% of its balance with a schedule to pay the remainder by end of 2026; no impact to same‑store NOI or FFO.
Prudent Capital Allocation and Shareholder Engagement
