Overview

We acquire, own and operate industrial real estate in six major coastal U.S. markets: Los Angeles, Northern New Jersey/New York City, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Miami, and Washington, D.C. We invest in several types of industrial real estate, including warehouse/distribution (approximately 79.5% of our total annualized base rent as of December 31, 2021), flex (including light industrial and research and development, or R&D) (approximately 4.8%), transshipment (approximately 6.4%) and improved land (approximately 9.3%). We target functional properties in infill locations that may be shared by multiple tenants and that cater to customer demand within the various submarkets in which we operate. Infill locations are geographic locations surrounded by high concentrations of already developed land and existing buildings. As of December 31, 2021, we owned a total of 253 buildings aggregating approximately 15.1 million square feet, 36 improved land parcels consisting of approximately 127.1 acres and four properties under redevelopment that, upon completion, will consist of two properties aggregating approximately 0.2 million square feet and two improved land parcels aggregating approximately 12.1 acres. As of December 31, 2021, our buildings and improved land parcels were approximately 95.5% and 94.8% leased (including 0.4 million square feet of vacancy acquired during the fourth quarter of 2021), respectively, to 554 customers, the largest of which accounted for approximately 4.9% of our total annualized base rent.

We are an internally managed Maryland corporation and elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2010.

Our Investment Strategy

We selected our target markets by drawing upon the experience of our executive management investing and operating in over 50 global industrial markets located in North America, Europe and Asia, the fundamentals of supply and demand, and in anticipation of trends in logistics patterns resulting from population changes, regulatory and physical constraints, changes in technology, e-commerce, the economic and environmental benefits of reducing vehicle miles traveled and other factors. We believe that our target markets have attractive long term investment attributes. We target assets with characteristics that include, but are not limited to, the following:

•Located in high population coastal markets;

•Close proximity to transportation infrastructure (such as sea ports, airports, highways and railways);

•Situated in supply-constrained submarkets with barriers to new industrial development, as a result of physical and/or regulatory constraints;

•Functional and flexible layout that can be modified to accommodate single and multiple tenants;

•Acquisition price at a discount to the replacement cost of the property;

•Potential for enhanced return through re-tenanting or operational and physical improvements; and

•Opportunity for higher and better use of the property over time.

In general, we prefer to utilize local third-party property managers for day-to-day property management and as a source of acquisition opportunities. We believe outsourcing property management is cost effective and provides us with operational flexibility. We may directly manage properties in the future if we determine such direct property management is in our best interest.

We have no current intention to acquire undeveloped or unimproved industrial land or to pursue greenfield ground up development. Nevertheless, we pursue redevelopment, renovation and expansion opportunities of properties that we own, acquire properties and improved land parcels with the intent to redevelop in the near-term, and acquire adjacent land to expand our existing facilities.

We expect that we will continue to acquire the significant majority of our investments as equity interests in individual properties or portfolios of properties. We may acquire industrial properties through the acquisition of other corporations or entities that own industrial real estate. We will opportunistically make investments in debt secured by industrial real estate that would otherwise meet our investment criteria with the intention of ultimately acquiring the underlying real estate. We currently do not intend to target specific percentages of holdings of particular types of industrial properties. This expectation is based upon prevailing market conditions and may change over time in response to different prevailing market conditions.

Table of Contents

The properties we acquire may be stabilized (fully leased) or unstabilized (have near term lease expirations, be partially or fully vacant and may require physical repositioning).

We sell properties from time to time when we believe the prospective total return from a property is particularly low relative to its market value and/or the market value of the property is significantly greater than its estimated replacement cost. Capital from such sales is reinvested into properties that are expected to provide better prospective returns or returned to shareholders. We have disposed of 25 properties since inception in 2010 for an aggregate sales price of approximately $407.7 million and a total gain of approximately $136.5 million.

2021 Developments

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic, including the emergence of various variants, has caused significant disruption to the U.S. and global economies and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. Our operations, including our occupancy, rent collections and acquisition volume, largely returned to pre-COVID levels during the year ended December 31, 2021. However, there can be no assurance that our business, and that of our tenants, will not be materially and adversely impacted by COVID-19 in the future. See "Item 1A - Risk Factors" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional discussion regarding the risks to which we are and may be subject to as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Acquisition Activity

During 2021, we acquired 34 industrial properties for a total purchase price of approximately $657.3 million. The properties were acquired from unrelated third parties using existing cash on hand, net proceeds from dispositions, net proceeds from the issuance of common stock and debt. The following table sets forth the industrial properties we acquired during 2021:

Table of Contents

1Excludes intangible liabilities and mortgage premiums, if any. The total aggregate initial investment was approximately $682.0 million, including $12.6 million in capitalized closing costs and acquisition costs and $34.2 million in assumed intangible liabilities and $22.1 million in other credits related to near term capital expenditures at the Countyline #24 & #25, Countyline #26 and Countyline #27 & #28 properties.

2Stabilized capitalization rates, referred to herein as stabilized cap rates, are calculated, at the time of acquisition, as annualized cash basis net operating income for the property stabilized to market occupancy (generally 95%) divided by the total acquisition cost for the property. Total acquisition cost basis for the property includes the initial purchase price, the effects of marking assumed debt to market, buyer’s due diligence and closing costs, estimated near-term capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to achieve stabilization. We define cash basis net operating income for the property as net operating income excluding straight-line rents and amortization of lease intangibles. These stabilized cap rates are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties, and factors that are beyond our control, including risks related to our ability to meet our estimated forecasts related to stabilized cap rates and those risk factors contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Redevelopment Activity

As of December 31, 2021, we had four properties under redevelopment that, upon completion, will consist of two properties aggregating approximately 0.2 million square feet and two improved land parcels aggregating approximately 12.1 acres with a total expected investment of approximately $75.8 million, including redevelopment costs, capitalized interest and other costs as follows:

1Total expected investment for the properties include the initial purchase price, buyer’s due diligence and closing costs, estimated near-term redevelopment expenditures, capitalized interest and leasing costs necessary to achieve stabilization.

2Estimated stabilized cap rates are calculated as estimated annualized cash basis net operating income for the properties stabilized to market occupancy (generally 95%) divided by the total acquisition cost for the property. We define cash basis net operating income for the property as net operating income excluding straight-line rents and amortization of lease intangibles. These estimated stabilized cap rates are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties, and factors that are beyond our control, including risks related to our ability to meet our estimated forecasts related to stabilized cap rates and those risk factors contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

3Improved land parcel of approximately 4.9 acres.

4Improved land parcel of approximately 7.2 acres.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, we completed redevelopment of our Sodo Row - North & South property in Seattle, Washington, an approximately 0.2 million square foot redevelopment property. The total investment was approximately $62.8 million. We capitalized interest associated with redevelopment and expansion activities of approximately $0.7 million, $1.6 million and $3.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Disposition Activity

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we sold one property located in the Seattle, Washington market for a sales price of approximately $10.3 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $3.2 million, and one property located in the New York/New Jersey market for a sales price of approximately $32.7 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $13.4 million.

The following summarizes the condensed results of operations of the properties sold during the year ended December 31, 2021 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands):

For the Year Ended December 31,

Depreciation and amortization (606) (936) (875)

Public Offering

On November 8, 2021, we completed a public offering of 3,500,000 shares of our common stock at a price per share of $74.50. On November 10, 2021, we sold an additional 525,000 shares upon the exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $296.5 million after deducting the underwriting discount and offering costs of approximately $3.3 million. We intend to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include, without limitation, working capital, repayment of indebtedness, future acquisitions and redevelopments.

ATM Program

We have an at-the-market equity offering program (the “$300 Million ATM Program”) pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million ($221.4 million remaining as of December 31, 2021) in amounts and at times as we determine from time to time. Prior to the implementation of the $300 Million ATM Program, we had a previous at-the-market equity program (the “Previous $300.0 million ATM Program”), which was substantially utilized as of June 10, 2021 and which is no longer active. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering of the shares under the $300 Million ATM Program, if any, for general corporate purposes, which may include future acquisitions, redevelopments and repayment of indebtedness, including borrowings under our revolving credit facility. During 2021, we issued an aggregate of 2,569,771 shares of common stock at a weighted average offering price of $63.23 per share under the Previous $300 Million ATM and the $300 Million ATM Program, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $160.1 million and paying total compensation to the applicable sales agents of approximately $2.4 million.

Share Repurchase Program

We have a share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to 3,000,000 shares of our outstanding common stock from time to time through December 31, 2022. Purchases made pursuant to this program, if any, will be made in either the open market or in privately negotiated transactions as permitted by federal securities laws and other legal requirements. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by us in our discretion and will be subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of December 31, 2021, we had not repurchased any shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program.

Senior Unsecured Notes

On July 15, 2021, we issued (i) $100.0 million of senior guaranteed green notes (the “Series A Notes”) and (ii) $50.0 million of senior guaranteed notes (the “Series B Notes”) in a private placement. The Series A Notes bear interest at a fixed annual interest rate of 2.41% and mature in July 2028, and the Series B Notes bear interest at a fixed annual interest rate of 2.84% and mature in July 2031. On October 28, 2021, we issued $125.0 million of senior guaranteed notes (the “2.38% Notes”) in a private placement. The 2.38% Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.38% and mature in August 2030. The 2.38% Notes and, together with the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes, the “Notes”, are guaranteed by us and by substantially all of the current and to-be-formed subsidiaries of the borrower that own an unencumbered property. The Notes are not secured by our properties or by interests in the subsidiaries that hold such properties. The Notes include a series of financial and other covenants with which we must comply.

Dividend and Distribution Activity

Table of Contents

On February 8, 2022, our board of directors declared a cash dividend in the amount of $0.34 per share of our common stock payable on April 8, 2022 to the stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 25, 2022.

The following table sets forth the cash dividends paid or payable per share during the year ended December 31, 2021:

Contractual Commitments

As of February 8, 2022, we have outstanding contracts with third-party sellers to acquire five industrial properties for a total aggregate purchase price of $125.8 million, as described under the heading “Material Cash Commitments” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. There is no assurance that we will acquire the properties under contract because the proposed acquisitions are subject to the completion of satisfactory due diligence and various closing conditions.

Outlook

Current operating conditions in our six markets for our business are excellent. We believe that on average, the rental rates we are likely to achieve on new or renewed leases for our 2022 expirations will be above the rates currently paid for the same space. However, new speculative development continues. This new development will slow potential rent growth from what it would be without such new development.

We see attractive acquisition opportunities. Nevertheless, our acquisition volume will be dependent on both the quality and pricing of the opportunity set and the price of our stock relative to net asset value (“NAV”). Those conditions, not knowable in advance, will determine our results. We will continue to sell assets and redeploy the capital to enhance NAV per share or return the capital to shareholders. We entered 2022 with our balance sheet exceedingly well positioned for growth as we have no balance outstanding on our $250.0 million revolving credit facility and a cash balance of approximately $204.4 million.

Within our six markets we have increasingly focused on urban infill locations. While our net growth will remain limited to a size where we can make directly informed operational decisions, we feel more strongly today than we did twelve years ago about the long-term investment merits of our strategy and the growth opportunities ahead. We are mindful, always, that it is per share rather than aggregate results that matter.

We believe in the long-term operating prospects of our functional, extremely infill coastal assets. We believe in sound balance sheet management. We believe in the benefits of our market-leading corporate governance and exceptionally aligned executive management compensation. As a result, we are enthusiastic about the future and our ability to produce superior results for our shareholders over time.

Our outlook is subject to the risks set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the risks set form in “Item 1A - Risk Factors”.

Inflation

The U.S. economy has experienced an increase in inflation rates recently. A wide variety of industries and sectors are affected by increasing commodity prices. Inflation has increased construction costs, including tenant improvements and capital projects, and operating costs, recently. Most of our leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. In addition, leases with respect to approximately 66.7% of our total rentable square feet expire within five years which enables us to seek to replace existing leases with new leases at the then-existing market rate.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Table of Contents

We derive substantially all of our revenues from rents received from tenants under existing leases on each of our properties. These revenues include fixed base rents and recoveries of certain property operating expenses that we have incurred and that we pass through to the individual tenants. Approximately 94.2% of our leased space includes fixed rental increases or Consumer Price Index-based rental increases. Lease terms typically range from three to ten years.

Our primary cash expenses consist of our property operating expenses, which include: real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, management expenses, insurance, utilities, general and administrative expenses, which include compensation costs, office expenses, professional fees and other administrative expenses, acquisition costs, which include third-party costs paid to brokers and consultants, and interest expense, primarily on our revolving credit facility, term loans and senior unsecured notes.

Our consolidated results of operations often are not comparable from period to period due to the impact of property acquisitions at various times during the course of such periods. The results of operations of any acquired property are included in our financial statements as of the date of its acquisition.

The analysis of our results below for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 includes the changes attributable to same store properties. The same store pool for the comparison of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 includes all properties that were owned and in operation as of December 31, 2021 and since January 1, 2020 and excludes properties that were either disposed of prior to, held for sale to a third party or in redevelopment as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the same store pool consisted of 210 buildings aggregating approximately 12.5 million square feet representing approximately 83.0% of our total square feet owned and 19 improved land parcels consisting of approximately 79.6 acres. As of December 31, 2021, the non-same store properties, which we acquired, redeveloped, or sold during 2020 and 2021 or were held for sale (if any) or in redevelopment as of December 31, 2021, consisted of 43 buildings aggregating approximately 2.6 million square feet, 17 improved land parcels consisting of approximately 47.5 acres and four properties under redevelopment that, upon completion, will consist of two properties aggregating approximately 0.2 million square feet and two improved land parcels aggregating approximately 12.1 acres. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, our consolidated same store pool occupancy was approximately 98.2% and 98.0%, respectively.

Our future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, straight-line rents and amortization of lease intangibles, may be impacted by the acquisitions of additional properties, and expenses may vary materially from historical results.

1Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements, allows us to elect not to separate lease and non-lease rental income. All rental income earned pursuant to tenant leases is reflected as one line, “Rental revenues and tenant expense reimbursements” on our accompanying consolidated statements of operations. We believe that the above presentation of rental revenues and tenant expense reimbursements is not, and is not intended to be, a presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We believe this information is frequently used by management, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate our performance. See “Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies” in our notes to consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our adoption of this standard.

Table of Contents

Revenues. Total revenues increased approximately $35.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the prior year due primarily to increased revenue on new and renewed leases, property acquisitions during 2021 and 2020. Cash rents on new and renewed leases totaling approximately 2.6 million square feet commencing during the year ended December 31, 2021 increased approximately 28.4% compared to the same period from the prior year. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, approximately $5.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively, was recorded in straight-line rental revenues related to contractual rent abatements given to certain tenants and approximately $0.3 million and $3.7 million, respectively, was recorded in lease termination revenue.

Property operating expenses. Total property operating expenses increased approximately $7.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the prior year. The increase in total property operating expenses was primarily due to an increase of approximately $4.6 million attributable to property acquisitions during 2021 and 2020 as well as increases in real estate taxes related to annual rate increases at certain of our properties.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $4.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the prior year primarily due to property acquisitions during 2020 and 2021.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased approximately $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to increased restricted stock amortization and other compensation expenses, including an increase in bonus expense of approximately $1.8 million and an increase in the number of employees compared to the prior year.

Interest and other income. Interest and other income decreased approximately $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the prior year primarily due to the pay down of our outstanding senior secured loan balance.

Interest expense, including amortization. Interest expense increased approximately $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the prior year. This increase was primarily due to the issuance of approximately $275 million of senior unsecured notes during 2021, partially offset by the repayment of a $32.7 million mortgage loan in 2020 and an $11.3 million mortgage loan in 2021.

Gain on sales of real estate investments. Gain on sales of real estate investments decreased approximately $10.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the prior year. The aggregate sales price for property sales for the year ended December 31, 2021 was approximately $43.0 million as compared to approximately $73.5 million for the prior year.

Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2020 to the Year Ended December 31, 2019:

Discussion of the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 was included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 on page 34 under Part II, Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of Operations”, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 10, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary objective of our financing strategy is to maintain financial flexibility with a conservative capital structure using retained cash flows, proceeds from dispositions of properties, long-term debt and the issuance of common and perpetual preferred stock to finance our growth. Over the long-term, we intend to:

•limit the sum of the outstanding principal amount of our consolidated indebtedness and the liquidation preference of any outstanding perpetual preferred stock to less than 35% of our total enterprise value;

•maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio in excess of 2.0x;

•maintain a debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio below 6.0x;

•limit the principal amount of our outstanding floating rate debt to less than 20% of our total consolidated indebtedness; and

•have staggered debt maturities that are aligned to our expected average lease term (5-7 years), positioning us to re-price parts of our capital structure as our rental rates change with market conditions.

Table of Contents

We intend to preserve a flexible capital structure with a long-term goal to maintain our investment grade rating and be in a position to issue additional unsecured debt and perpetual preferred stock. Fitch Ratings assigned us an issuer rating of BBB with a stable outlook. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit rating. Our credit rating can affect the amount and type of capital we can access, as well as the terms of any financings we may obtain. In the event our current credit rating is downgraded, it may become difficult or expensive to obtain additional financing or refinance existing obligations and commitments. We intend to primarily utilize senior unsecured notes, term loans, credit facilities, dispositions of properties, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock and perpetual preferred stock. We may also assume debt in connection with property acquisitions which may have a higher loan-to-value ratio.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash provided by operations, existing cash balances and, if necessary, short-term borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We believe that our net cash provided by operations will be adequate to fund operating requirements, pay interest on any borrowings and fund distributions in accordance with the REIT requirements of the federal income tax laws. In the near-term, we intend to fund future investments in properties with cash on hand, term loans, senior unsecured notes, mortgages, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, perpetual preferred and common stock issuances and, from time to time, property dispositions. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements, including with respect to other investments in industrial properties, property acquisitions, property redevelopments, renovations and expansions and scheduled debt maturities, through borrowings under our revolving credit facility, periodic issuances of common stock, perpetual preferred stock, and long-term unsecured and secured debt, and, from time to time, with proceeds from the disposition of properties. The success of our acquisition strategy may depend, in part, on our ability to obtain and borrow under our revolving credit facility and to access additional capital through issuances of equity and debt securities.

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Debt Sources of Liquidity

As of December 31, 2021, we had $50.0 million of senior unsecured notes that mature in September 2022, $100.0 million of senior unsecured notes that mature in July 2024, $50.0 million of senior unsecured notes that mature in July 2026, $50.0 million of senior unsecured notes that mature in October 2027, $100.0 million of Series A Notes, $100.0 million of senior unsecured notes that mature in December 2029, $125.0 million of 2.38% Notes, and $50.0 million of Series B Notes (collectively, the “Senior Unsecured Notes”).

On August 20, 2021, our subsidiary entered into a Sixth Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement (the “Amended Facility”) which consists of a $250.0 million revolving credit facility that matures in August 2025 and a $100.0 million term loan that matures in January 2027. Among other things, the Amended Facility extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility and the $100.0 million term loan. As of both December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no borrowings outstanding on our revolving credit facility and $100.0 million of borrowings outstanding on our term loan.

The aggregate amount of the Amended Facility may be increased to a total of up to $650.0 million, subject to the approval of the administrative agent and the identification of lenders willing to make available additional amounts. Outstanding borrowings under the Amended Facility are limited to the lesser of (i) the sum of the $100.0 million term loan and the $250.0 million revolving credit facility, or (ii) 60.0% of the value of the unencumbered properties. Interest on the Amended Facility, including the term loan is generally to be paid based upon, at our option, either (i) LIBOR plus the applicable LIBOR margin or (ii) the applicable base rate which is the greatest of the administrative agent’s prime rate, 0.50% above the federal funds effective rate, or thirty-day LIBOR plus the applicable LIBOR margin for LIBOR rate loans under the Amended Facility plus 1.25%. The applicable LIBOR margin will range from 1.00% to 1.45% (1.00% as of December 31, 2021) for the revolving credit facility and 1.15% to 1.65% (1.15% as of December 31, 2021) for the $100.0 million term loan, depending on the ratio of our outstanding consolidated indebtedness to the value of our consolidated gross asset value. The Amended Facility requires quarterly payments of an annual facility fee in an amount ranging from 0.15% to 0.30%, depending on the ratio of our outstanding consolidated indebtedness to the value of our consolidated gross asset value.

The Amended Facility and the Senior Unsecured Notes are guaranteed by us and by substantially all of the current and to-be-formed subsidiaries of the borrower that own an unencumbered property. The Amended Facility and the Senior Unsecured Notes are not secured by our properties or by interests in the subsidiaries that hold such properties. The Amended Facility and the Senior Unsecured Notes include a series of financial and other covenants with which we must comply. We were in compliance with the covenants under the Amended Facility and the Senior Unsecured Notes as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had an outstanding mortgage loan payable, net of deferred financing costs, of approximately $0 and $11.3 million, respectively, and held cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $204.4 million and $107.2 million, respectively. The mortgage loan payable was fully repaid in January 2021.

The following tables summarize our debt maturities and principal payments as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, and market capitalization, capitalization ratios, Adjusted EBITDA, interest coverage, fixed charge coverage and debt ratios as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

The following table sets forth the cash dividends paid or payable per share during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our principal sources of cash are cash from operations, borrowings under loans payable, draws on our Amended Facility, common and preferred stock issuances, proceeds from property dispositions and issuances of unsecured notes. Our principal uses of cash are asset acquisitions, debt service, capital expenditures, operating costs, corporate overhead costs and common stock dividends.

Cash From Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $132.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to approximately $101.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase in cash provided by operating activities is primarily attributable to additional cash flows generated from the properties acquired during 2021 and 2020, as we acquired 34 properties during year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 11 properties acquired in the prior year, and increased rents on new and renewed leases at our same store properties.

Cash From Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $666.4 million and $52.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which consisted primarily of cash paid for property acquisitions of approximately $645.0 million and $98.1 million, respectively, additions to capital improvements of approximately $62.6

million and $40.6 million, respectively, partially offset by net cash received for the senior secured loan of $0 and $15.9 million, respectively, and net proceeds from sales of real estate investments of approximately $41.1 million and $70.7 million, respectively, in each case for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Cash From Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $631.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, which consisted primarily of approximately $456.7 million in net common stock issuance proceeds and borrowings of $275.0 million in connection with our issuance of senior unsecured notes partially offset by approximately $84.6 million in equity dividend payments and approximately $11.3 million in mortgage loan payments. Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $53.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which consisted primarily of approximately $63.8 million in net common stock issuance proceeds, partially offset by approximately $74.8 million in equity dividend payments and approximately $33.0 million in mortgage loan payments.

Critical Accounting Policies

Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that we believe are critical. We consider these policies critical because they require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain, involve various assumptions and require significant management judgment, and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments will affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Applying different estimates or assumptions may result in materially different amounts reported in our financial statements.

Capitalization of Costs. We capitalize costs directly related to the redevelopment, renovation and expansion of our investment in real estate. Costs associated with such projects are capitalized as incurred. If the project is abandoned, these costs are expensed during the period in which the redevelopment or expansion project is abandoned. Costs considered for capitalization include, but are not limited to, construction costs, interest, real estate taxes and insurance, if appropriate. These costs are capitalized only during the period in which activities necessary to ready an asset for its intended use are in progress. In the event that the activities to ready the asset for its intended use are suspended, the capitalization period will cease until such activities are resumed. Costs incurred for maintaining and repairing properties, which do not extend their useful lives, are expensed as incurred.

Interest is capitalized based on actual capital expenditures from the period when redevelopment, renovation or expansion commences until the asset is ready for its intended use, at the weighted average borrowing rate during the period.

Property Acquisitions.Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the integrated set of assets and activities is not considered a business. To be a business, the set of acquired activities and assets must include inputs and one or more substantive processes that together contribute to the ability to create outputs. We have determined that our real estate property acquisitions will generally be accounted for as asset acquisitions under the clarified definition. Upon acquisition of a property we estimate the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting generally of land, buildings and improvements) and intangible assets and liabilities (consisting generally of the above and below-market leases and the origination value of all in-place leases). We determine fair values using Level 3 inputs such as replacement cost, estimated cash flow projections and other valuation techniques and applying appropriate discount and capitalization rates based on available market information. Mortgage loans assumed in connection with acquisitions are recorded at their fair value using current market interest rates for similar debt at the date of acquisition. Acquisition-related costs associated with asset acquisitions are capitalized to individual tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis and acquisition-related costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred.

insurance and an estimate of lost rental revenue at market rates during the estimated time required to lease up the property from vacant to the occupancy level at the date of acquisition.

Impairment. Carrying values for financial reporting purposes are reviewed for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be fully recoverable. Examples of such events or changes in circumstances may include classifying an asset to be held for sale, changing the intended hold period or when an asset remains vacant significantly longer than expected. The intended use of an asset either held for sale or held for use can significantly impact how impairment is measured. If an asset is intended to be held for the long-term, the recoverability is based on the undiscounted future cash flows. If the asset carrying value is not supported on an undiscounted future cash flow basis, then the asset carrying value is measured against the lower of cost or the present value of expected cash flows over the expected hold period. An impairment charge to earnings is recognized for the excess of the asset’s carrying value over the lower of cost or the present values of expected cash flows over the expected hold period. If an asset is intended to be sold, impairment is determined using the estimated fair value less costs to sell. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on assumptions, among other things, regarding current and future economic and market conditions and the availability of capital. We determine the estimated fair values based on its assumptions regarding rental rates, lease-up and holding periods, as well as sales prices. When available, current market information is used to determine capitalization and rental growth rates. If available, current comparative sales values may also be used to establish fair value. When market information is not readily available, the inputs are based on our understanding of market conditions and the experience of our management team. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. The discount rates used in the fair value estimates represent a rate commensurate with the indicated holding period with a premium layered on for risk.

Revenue Recognition. We record rental revenue from operating leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases and maintain an allowance for estimated losses that may result from the inability of our tenants to make required payments. If tenants fail to make contractual lease payments that are greater than our allowance for doubtful accounts, security deposits and letters of credit, then we may have to recognize additional doubtful account charges in future periods. We monitor the liquidity and creditworthiness of our tenants on an on-going basis by reviewing their financial condition periodically as appropriate. Each period we review our outstanding accounts receivable, including straight-line rents, for doubtful accounts and provide allowances as needed. We also record lease termination fees when a tenant has executed a definitive termination agreement with us and the payment of the termination fee is not subject to any conditions that must be met or waived before the fee is due to us. If a tenant remains in the leased space following the execution of a definitive termination agreement, the applicable termination will be deferred and recognized over the term of such tenant’s occupancy.

Tenant expense reimbursement income includes payments and amounts due from tenants pursuant to their leases for real estate taxes, insurance and other recoverable property operating expenses and is recognized as revenues during the same period the related expenses are incurred.

Income Taxes. We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code and operate as such beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2010. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to our stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent we distribute qualifying dividends to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the IRS grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we believe we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT.

Stock-Based Compensation and Other Long-Term Incentive Compensation. We follow the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to account for our stock-based compensation plan, which requires that the compensation cost relating to stock-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements and that the cost be measured on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Our 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) provides for the grant of restricted stock awards, performance share awards, unrestricted shares or any combination of the foregoing. Stock-based compensation is recognized as a general and administrative expense in the financial statements and measured at the fair value of the award on the date of grant. We estimate the forfeiture rate based on historical experience as well as expected behavior. The amount of the expense may be subject to adjustment in future periods depending on the specific characteristics of the stock-based award.

Table of Contents

In addition, we have awarded long-term incentive target awards (the “Performance Share awards”) under the Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the “Amended LTIP”), which we amended and restated on January 8, 2019, to our executives that are payable in shares of our common stock after the conclusion of each pre-established performance measurement period, which is generally three years. The amount that may be earned is variable depending on the relative total shareholder return of our stock as compared to the total shareholder return of the MSCI U.S. REIT Index (RMS) and the FTSE Nareit Equity Industrial Index over the pre-established performance measurement period. Under the Amended LTIP, each participant’s Performance Share award granted on or after January 1, 2019 will be expressed as a number of shares of common stock and settled in shares of common stock. Target awards were previously expressed as a dollar amount and settled in shares of common stock. Commencing with Performance Share awards granted on or after January 1, 2019, the grant date fair value of the Performance Share awards will be determined under current accounting treatment using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of grant and recognized on a straight-line basis over the performance period. For Performance Share awards granted prior to January 1, 2019, we estimate the fair value of the Performance Share awards using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of grant and at each reporting period. The Performance Share awards granted prior to January 1, 2019 are recognized as compensation expense over the requisite performance period based on the fair value of the Performance Share awards at the balance sheet date, which varies quarter to quarter based on our relative share price performance, and are included as a component of Performance Share awards payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Material Cash Commitments

As of February 8, 2022, we have five outstanding contracts with third-party sellers to acquire five industrial properties for a total aggregate purchase price of $125.8 million. There is no assurance that we will acquire the properties under contract because the proposed acquisitions are subject to the completion of satisfactory due diligence and various closing conditions.

The following table summarizes our material cash commitments due by period as of December 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

1As of February 8, 2022

As of February 8, 2022, we executed four non-binding letters of intent with third-party sellers to acquire four industrial properties for a total anticipated purchase price of approximately $94.9 million. In the normal course of its business, we enter into non-binding letters of intent to purchase properties from third parties that may obligate us to make payments or perform other obligations upon the occurrence of certain events, including the execution of a purchase and sale agreement and satisfactory completion of various due diligence matters. There can be no assurance that we will enter into purchase and sale agreements with respect to these properties or otherwise complete any such prospective purchases on the terms described or at all.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use the following non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to investors as key supplemental measures of our operating performance: funds from operations, or FFO, Adjusted EBITDA, net operating income, or NOI, same store NOI and cash-basis same store NOI. FFO, Adjusted EBITDA, NOI, same store NOI and cash-basis same store NOI should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with GAAP. Further, our computation of FFO, Adjusted EBITDA, NOI, same store NOI and cash-basis same store NOI may not be comparable to FFO, Adjusted EBITDA, NOI, same store NOI and cash-basis same store NOI reported by other companies.

We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), which defines FFO as net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of property and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, plus depreciation and amortization on real estate assets and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures (which are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis). We

Table of Contents

believe that presenting FFO provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance because it is a measure of our operations without regard to specified non-cash items, such as real estate depreciation and amortization and gain or loss on sale of assets.

We believe that FFO is a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our operating performance.

The following table reflects the calculation of FFO reconciled from net income for the three months and years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands except per share data):

1To be consistent with our policies of determining whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities and accounting for earnings per share, the FFO per common share is adjusted for FFO distributed through declared dividends (if any) and allocated to all participating securities (weighted average common shares outstanding and unvested restricted shares outstanding) under the two-class method. Under this method, allocations were made to 288,976, 203,729 and 426,985 of weighted average unvested restricted shares outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 245,075, 341,673 and 402,380 of weighted average unvested restricted shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

2Includes performance share award expense of approximately $1.3 million, $2.9 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and approximately $5.3 million, $6.6 million and

$8.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. See “Note 10 – Stockholders’ Equity” in our notes to consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our performance share awards.

FFO increased by approximately $7.8 million and $22.5 million for the three months and years ended December 31, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods from the prior year due primarily to same store NOI growth of approximately $4.2 million and $15.5 million for the three months and years ended December 31, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods from the prior year, as well as property acquisitions during 2021. The FFO increase was partially offset by increased weighted average common shares outstanding and increased general and administrative expenses due to additional headcount, for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same periods from the prior year.

We compute Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain on sales of real estate investments, acquisition costs and stock-based compensation. We believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance because it is a measure of our operations on an unleveraged basis before the effects of tax, gain (loss) on sales of real estate investments, non-cash depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition costs and stock-based compensation. By excluding interest expense, Adjusted EBITDA allows investors to measure our operating performance independent of our capital structure and indebtedness and, therefore, allows for more meaningful comparison of our operating performance between quarters and other interim periods as well as annual periods and for the comparison of our operating performance to that of other companies, both in the real estate industry and in other industries. As we are currently in a growth phase, acquisition costs are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA to allow for the comparison of our operating performance to that of stabilized companies.

The following table reflects the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA reconciled from net income for the three months and years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands):

For the Three Months Ended December 31, For the Three Months Ended December 31,

same store basis. NOI excludes depreciation, amortization, general and administrative expenses, acquisition costs and interest expense, including amortization. We compute cash-basis same store NOI as same store NOI excluding straight-line rents and amortization of lease intangibles. The same store pool for the comparison of the three months and years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 includes all properties that were owned and in operation as of December 31, 2021 and since January 1, 2020 and excludes properties that were either disposed of prior to, held for sale to a third party or in redevelopment as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the same store pool consisted of 210 buildings aggregating approximately 12.5 million square feet representing approximately 83.0% of our total square feet owned and 19 improved land parcels containing approximately 79.6 acres. The same store pool for the comparison of the three months and years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 includes all properties that were owned as of December 31, 2020 and since January 1, 2019 and excludes properties that were either disposed of prior to, held for sale to a third-party or in redevelopment as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, the same store pool consisted of 198 buildings aggregating approximately 12.0 million square feet representing approximately 91.1% of our total square feet owned and 14 improved land parcels containing approximately 54.2 acres. We believe that presenting NOI, same store NOI and cash-basis same store NOI provides useful information to investors regarding the operating performance of our properties because NOI excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of the properties, such as depreciation, amortization, general and administrative expenses, acquisition costs and interest expense. By presenting same store NOI and cash-basis same store NOI, the operating results on a same store basis are directly comparable from period to period.

The following table reflects the calculation of NOI, same store NOI and cash-basis same store NOI reconciled from net income for the three months and years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands):

3Includes 2019 and 2020 acquisitions and dispositions, eleven improved land parcels consisting of approximately 37.3 acres, one property under redevelopment and two completed redevelopment properties with an aggregate gross book value of approximately $49.3 million as of December 31, 2020.

Cash-basis same store NOI increased by approximately $4.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period from the prior year due to increased rental revenue on new and renewed leases and contractual rent increases. For the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, total contractual rent abatements of approximately $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, were given to certain tenants in the same-store pool and approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, in lease termination income was received from certain tenants in the same store pool. In addition, approximately $0.2 million of the increase in cash-basis same store NOI for the three months ended December 31, 2021 related to properties that were acquired vacant or with near term expirations in 2019.

Cash-basis same store NOI increased by approximately $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period from the prior year primarily due to increased rental revenue on new and renewed leases and increased occupancy. For the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, total contractual rent abatements of approximately $2.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively, were given to certain tenants in the same-store pool and approximately $0.3 million and $3.7 million, respectively, in lease termination income was received from certain tenants in the same store pool. In addition, approximately $2.3 million of the increase in cash-basis same store NOI for the year ended December 31, 2021 related to properties that were acquired vacant or with near term expirations in 2019.

Item 7A. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business strategies, the primary market risk which we are exposed to is interest rate risk. We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of debt used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures and expand our investment portfolio and operations. We seek to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. As described below, some of our outstanding debt bears interest at variable rates, and we expect that some of our future outstanding debt will have variable interest rates. We may use interest rate caps and/or swap agreements to manage our interest rate risks relating to our variable rate debt. We expect to replace variable rate debt on a regular basis with fixed rate, long-term debt to finance our assets and operations.

As of December 31, 2021, we had $100.0 million of borrowings outstanding under our Amended Facility, none of which were subject to interest rate caps. See “Note 8 - Derivative Financial Instruments” in our notes to consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our prior interest rate cap. Amounts borrowed under our Amended Facility bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus an applicable LIBOR margin. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under our Amended Facility was 1.2% as of December 31, 2021. If the LIBOR rate were to fluctuate by 0.25%, interest expense would increase or decrease, depending on rate movement, future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.3 million annually on the total of the outstanding balances on our Amended Facility as of December 31, 2021.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority announced it intended to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. In March 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, announced its intention to cease publication of certain LIBOR settings after 2021, while continuing to publish overnight and one-, three-, six-, and twelve-month U.S. dollar LIBOR rates through June 30, 2023. While this announcement extended the transition period to June 2023, the United States Federal Reserve Board and other regulatory bodies concurrently issued guidance encouraging banks and other financial market participants to cease entering into new contracts that use U.S. dollar LIBOR as a reference rate as soon as practicable and in any event no later than December 31, 2021. In the U.S., the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”), which was convened by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, has recommended that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a recommended spread adjustment as its preferred alternative to USD-LIBOR. There are significant differences between LIBOR and SOFR, such as LIBOR being an unsecured lending rate while SOFR is a secured rate, and SOFR is an overnight rate while LIBOR reflects term rates at different maturities.

We expect that all LIBOR settings relevant to us will cease to be published or will no longer be representative after June 30, 2023. As a result, any of our LIBOR-based borrowings that extend beyond such date will need to be converted to a replacement rate. Certain risks may arise in connection with transitioning contracts to SOFR or any other alternative variable rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. The value of loans, securities, or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted. The Amended Facility, which we entered into in August 2021, provides for the replacement of LIBOR if it becomes unavailable during the term of the facility. However, for some instruments, the method of transitioning to an alternative rate may be challenging, as they may require substantial negotiation with each respective counterparty. If a contract is not transitioned to an alternative variable rate and LIBOR is discontinued, the impact is likely to vary by contract.

The discontinuation of LIBOR will not affect our ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings or swaps, but if our contracts indexed to LIBOR, including certain contracts governing our variable rate debt and our interest rate swaps, are converted to SOFR, the differences between LIBOR and SOFR, plus the recommended spread adjustment, could result in interest costs that are higher than if LIBOR remained available. Additionally, although SOFR is the ARRC’s recommended replacement rate, it is also possible that lenders may instead choose alternative replacement rates that may differ from LIBOR in ways similar to SOFR or in ways that would result in higher interest costs for us. It is not yet possible to predict the magnitude of LIBOR’s end on our borrowing costs given the remaining uncertainty about which rates will replace LIBOR.

Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), and has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Terreno Realty Corporation’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. This internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Terreno Realty Corporation’s management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 framework). Based on its assessment, management of Terreno Realty Corporation believes that, as of December 31, 2021, the company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria. Terreno Realty Corporation’s independent auditors have issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting, as stated in their report included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (which expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021).

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Terreno Realty Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Terreno Realty Corporation (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 of the Company and our report dated February 9, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Terreno Realty Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Organization

Terreno Realty Corporation (“Terreno”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) acquires, owns and operates industrial real estate in six major coastal U.S. markets: Los Angeles, Northern New Jersey/New York City, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Miami, and Washington, D.C. All square feet, acres, occupancy and number of properties disclosed in these notes to the consolidated financial statements are unaudited. As of December 31, 2021, the Company owned 253 buildings aggregating approximately 15.1 million square feet, 36 improved land parcels consisting of approximately 127.1 acres and four properties under redevelopment that, upon completion, will consist of two properties aggregating approximately 0.2 million square feet and two improved land parcels aggregating approximately 12.1 acres.

The Company is an internally managed Maryland corporation and elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2010.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of the Company’s accounts and its subsidiaries and all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Capitalization of Costs. The Company capitalizes costs directly related to the redevelopment, renovation and expansion of its investment in real estate. Costs associated with such projects are capitalized as incurred. If the project is abandoned, these costs are expensed during the period in which the redevelopment, renovation or expansion project is abandoned. Costs considered for capitalization include, but are not limited to, construction costs, interest, real estate taxes and insurance, if appropriate. These costs are capitalized only during the period in which activities necessary to ready an asset for its intended use are in progress. In the event that the activities to ready the asset for its intended use are suspended, the capitalization period will cease until such activities are resumed. Costs incurred for maintaining and repairing properties, which do not extend their useful lives, are expensed as incurred.

Investments in Real Estate. Investments in real estate, including tenant improvements, leasehold improvements and leasing costs, are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, unless circumstances indicate that the cost cannot be recovered, in which case, an adjustment to the carrying value of the property is made to reduce it to its estimated fair value. The Company also reviews the impact of above and below-market leases, in-place leases and lease origination costs for acquisitions and records an intangible asset or liability accordingly.

Table of Contents

conditions and the availability of capital. The Company determines the estimated fair values based on its assumptions regarding rental rates, lease-up and holding periods, as well as sales prices. When available, current market information is used to determine capitalization and rental growth rates. If available, current comparative sales values may also be used to establish fair value. When market information is not readily available, the inputs are based on the Company’s understanding of market conditions and the experience of the Company’s management team. Actual results could differ significantly from the Company’s estimates. The discount rates used in the fair value estimates represent a rate commensurate with the indicated holding period with a premium layered on for risk. There were no impairment charges recorded to the carrying values of the Company’s properties during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 or 2019.

Property Acquisitions. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the integrated set of assets and activities is not considered a business. To be a business, the set of acquired activities and assets must include inputs and one or more substantive processes that together contribute to the ability to create outputs. The Company has determined that its real estate property acquisitions will generally be accounted for as asset acquisitions under the clarified definition. Upon acquisition of a property the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting generally of land, buildings and improvements) and intangible assets and liabilities (consisting generally of the above and below-market leases and the origination value of all in-place leases). The Company determines fair values using Level 3 inputs such as replacement cost, estimated cash flow projections and other valuation techniques and applying appropriate discount and capitalization rates based on available market information. Mortgage loans assumed in connection with acquisitions are recorded at their fair value using current market interest rates for similar debt at the date of acquisition. Acquisition-related costs associated with asset acquisitions are capitalized to individual tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis and acquisition-related costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred.

The fair value of the tangible assets is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant. Land values are derived from current comparative sales values, when available, or management’s estimates of the fair value based on market conditions and the experience of the Company’s management team. Building and improvement values are calculated as replacement cost less depreciation, or management’s estimates of the fair value of these assets using discounted cash flow analyses or similar methods. The fair value of the above and below-market leases is based on the present value of the difference between the contractual amounts to be received pursuant to the acquired leases (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the acquired leases) and the Company’s estimate of the market lease rates measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the leases plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options. The above and below-market lease values are amortized to rental revenues over the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options that are considered bargain renewal options of the respective leases. The total net impact to rental revenues due to the amortization of above and below-market leases was a net increase of approximately $7.7 million, $5.4 million and $4.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The origination value of in-place leases is based on costs to execute similar leases, including commissions and other related costs. The origination value of in-place leases also includes real estate taxes, insurance and an estimate of lost rental revenue at market rates during the estimated time required to lease up the property from vacant to the occupancy level at the date of acquisition. The remaining weighted average lease term related to these intangible assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2021 was 7.0 years. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s intangible assets and liabilities, including properties held for sale (if any), consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

Projected net amortization of the intangible assets and liabilities for the next five years and thereafter as of December 31, 2021 is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Depreciation and Useful Lives of Real Estate and Intangible Assets. Depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or liabilities. The following table reflects the standard depreciable lives typically used to compute depreciation and amortization. However, such depreciable lives may be different based on the estimated useful life of such assets or liabilities.

Description Standard Depreciable Life

Land Not depreciated

Building 40 years

Building Improvements 5-40 years

Tenant Improvements Shorter of lease term or useful life

Leasing Costs Lease term

In-place Leases Lease term

Above/Below-Market Leases Lease term

Held for Sale Assets. The Company considers a property to be held for sale when it meets the criteria established under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (See “Note 5 - Held for Sale/Disposed Assets”). Properties held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell and are not depreciated while they are held for sale.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash held in a major banking institution and other highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are generally invested in U.S. government securities, government agency securities or money market accounts.

Restricted Cash. Restricted cash includes cash held in escrow in connection with property acquisitions and reserves for certain capital improvements, leasing, interest and real estate tax and insurance payments as required by certain mortgage loan obligations.

The following summarizes the reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows (dollars in thousands):

Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition. The Company records rental revenue from operating leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases and maintains an allowance for estimated losses that may result from the inability of its tenants to make required payments. If tenants fail to make contractual lease payments that are greater than the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts, security deposits and letters of credit, then the Company may have to recognize additional doubtful account charges in future periods. The Company monitors the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants on an on-going basis by reviewing their financial condition periodically as appropriate. Each period the Company reviews its outstanding accounts receivable, including straight-line rents, for doubtful accounts and provides allowances as needed. The Company also records lease termination fees when a tenant has executed a definitive termination agreement with the Company and the payment of the termination fee is not subject to any conditions that must be met or waived before the fee is due to the Company. If a tenant remains in the leased space following the execution of a definitive termination agreement, the applicable termination will be deferred and recognized over the term of such tenant’s occupancy. Tenant expense reimbursement income includes payments and amounts due from tenants pursuant to their leases for real estate taxes, insurance and other recoverable property operating expenses and is recognized as revenues during the same period the related expenses are incurred.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, approximately $39.7 million and $32.5 million, respectively, of straight-line rent and accounts receivable, net of allowances of approximately $0.5 million and $0.9 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were included as a component of other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Deferred Financing Costs. Costs incurred in connection with financings are capitalized and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the related loan. Deferred financing costs associated with the Company’s revolving credit facility are classified as an asset, as a component of other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and deferred financing costs associated with debt liabilities are reported as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Deferred financing costs related to the revolving credit facility and debt liabilities are carried at cost, net of accumulated amortization in the aggregate of approximately $10.6 million and $9.4 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Income Taxes. The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code and operates as such beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2010. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to its stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes qualifying dividends to its stockholders. If it fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the IRS grants it relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect the Company’s net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, the Company believes it is organized and operates in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT.

ASC 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”), provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740-10 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax expense in the current year. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and does not believe that there will be any material changes in unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months. The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by federal, state and local tax jurisdictions, which as of December 31, 2021, include years 2018 to 2020 for federal purposes.

Stock-Based Compensation and Other Long-Term Incentive Compensation. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to account for its stock-based compensation plan, which requires that the compensation cost relating to stock-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements and that the cost be measured on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) provides for the grant of restricted stock awards, performance share awards, unrestricted shares or any combination of the foregoing. Stock-based compensation is recognized as a general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and measured at the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The Company estimates the forfeiture rate based on historical experience as well as expected behavior. The amount of the expense may be subject to adjustment in future periods depending on the specific characteristics of the stock-based award.

In addition, the Company has awarded long-term incentive target awards (the “Performance Share awards”) under its Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended and restated the “Amended LTIP”), which the Company amended and

Table of Contents

restated on January 8, 2019, to its executives that may be payable in shares of the Company’s common stock after the conclusion of each pre-established performance measurement period, which is generally three years. The amount that may be earned is variable depending on the relative total shareholder return of the Company’s common stock as compared to the total shareholder return of the MSCI U.S. REIT Index (RMS) and the FTSE Nareit Equity Industrial Index over the pre-established performance measurement period. Under the Amended LTIP, each participant’s Performance Share award granted on or after January 1, 2019 will be expressed as a number of shares of common stock and settled in shares of common stock. Target awards were previously expressed as a dollar amount and settled in shares of common stock. Commencing with Performance Share awards granted on or after January 1, 2019, the grant date fair value of the Performance Share awards will be determined under current accounting treatment using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of grant and recognized on a straight-line basis over the performance period. For Performance Share awards granted prior to January 1, 2019, the Company estimates the fair value of the Performance Share awards using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of grant and at each reporting period. The Performance Share awards granted prior to January 1, 2019 are recognized as compensation expense over the requisite performance period based on the fair value of the Performance Share awards at the balance sheet date, which varies quarter to quarter based on the Company’s relative share price performance, and are included as a component of performance share awards payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Use of Derivative Financial Instruments. ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (See “Note 8 – Derivative Financial Instruments”), provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why the Company uses derivative instruments, (b) how the Company accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the Company’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures are required that explain the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments.

The Company records all derivatives on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) (See “Note 9 - Fair Value Measurements”), defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also provides guidance for using fair value to measure financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 requires disclosure of the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall, including measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active (Level 2), and significant valuation assumptions that are not readily observable in the market (Level 3).

Segment Disclosure. ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about an enterprise’s reportable segments. The Company has determined that it has one reportable segment, with activities related to investing in real estate. The Company’s investments in real estate are geographically diversified and the chief operating decision makers evaluate operating performance on an individual asset level. As each of the Company’s assets has similar economic characteristics, the assets have been aggregated into one reportable segment.

Note 3. Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company may maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. However, the Company’s management believes the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2021, the Company owned 62 buildings aggregating approximately 3.4 million square feet and 10 improved land parcels consisting of approximately 54.2 acres located in Northern New Jersey/New York City, which accounted for a combined percentage of approximately 27.3% of its annualized base rent. Such annualized base rent percentages are based on contractual base rent from leases in effect as of December 31, 2021, excluding any partial or full rent abatements.

Other real estate companies compete with the Company in its real estate markets. This results in competition for tenants to occupy space. The existence of competing properties could have a material impact on the Company’s ability to lease space and on the level of rent that can be achieved. The Company had no tenant that accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's annualized base rent for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

The Company recorded revenues and net income for the year ended December 31, 2020 of approximately $2.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, related to the 2020 acquisitions.

The above assets and liabilities were recorded at fair value, which uses Level 3 inputs. The properties were acquired from unrelated third parties using existing cash on hand, proceeds from property sales and the issuance of common stock and borrowings on the revolving credit facility.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had four properties under redevelopment that, upon completion, will consist of two properties aggregating approximately 0.2 million square feet and two improved land parcels aggregating approximately 12.1 acres with a total expected investment of approximately $75.8 million, including redevelopment costs, capitalized interest and other costs. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company completed redevelopment of its Sodo Row - North & South property in Seattle, Washington, an approximately 0.2 million square foot redevelopment property. The total investment was approximately $62.8 million. The Company capitalized interest associated with redevelopment and expansion activities of approximately $0.7 million, $1.6 million and $3.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Note 5. Held for Sale/Disposed Assets

The Company considers a property to be held for sale when it meets the criteria established under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. Properties held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell and are not depreciated while they are held for sale. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any properties held for sale.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold one property located in the Seattle market for a sales price of approximately $10.3 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $3.2 million, and one property located in the New York/New Jersey market for a sales price of approximately $32.7 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $13.4 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company sold three properties located in the Washington, D.C. market for a total aggregate sales price of approximately $51.3 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $17.8 million, and one property located in the Miami market for a sales price of approximately $22.2 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $9.0 million.

2The interest rates on these loans are comprised of LIBOR plus a LIBOR margin. The LIBOR margins will range from 1.00% to 1.45% (1.00% as of December 31, 2021) for the revolving credit facility and 1.15% to 1.65% (1.15% as of December 31, 2021) for the $100.0 million term loan, depending on the ratio of the Company’s outstanding consolidated indebtedness to the value of the Company’s consolidated gross asset value.

3As of December 31, 2020, interest on $50.0 million of the $100.0 million term loan was effectively capped through the use of an interest rate cap that expired on May 4, 2021. See “Note 8 - Derivative Financial Instruments” for more information regarding the Company’s prior interest rate cap.

5Collectively, the “Senior Unsecured Notes”.

On August 20, 2021, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a Sixth Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement (the “Amended Facility”) which consists of a $250.0 million revolving credit facility that matures in August 2025 and a $100.0 million term loan that matures in January 2027. Among other things, the Amended Facility extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility and the $100.0 million term loan. As of both December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no

Table of Contents

borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility and $100.0 million of borrowings outstanding on the term loan. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no interest rate caps. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had one interest rate cap to hedge the variable cash flows associated with $50.0 million of its $100.0 variable-rate term loan, which expired on May 4, 2021. See “Note 8 - Derivative Financial Instruments” for more information regarding the Company’s prior interest rate cap.

The aggregate amount of the Amended Facility may be increased to a total of up to $650.0 million, subject to the approval of the administrative agent and the identification of lenders willing to make available additional amounts. Outstanding borrowings under the Amended Facility are limited to the lesser of (i) the sum of the $100.0 million term loan and the $250.0 million revolving credit facility, or (ii) 60.0% of the value of the unencumbered properties. Interest on the Amended Facility, including the term loan, is generally to be paid based upon, at the Company’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus the applicable LIBOR margin or (ii) the applicable base rate which is the greatest of the administrative agent’s prime rate, 0.50% above the federal funds effective rate, or thirty-day LIBOR plus the applicable LIBOR margin for LIBOR rate loans under the Amended Facility plus 1.25%. The applicable LIBOR margin will range from 1.00% to 1.45% (1.00% as of December 31, 2021) for the revolving credit facility and 1.15% to 1.65% (1.15% as of December 31, 2021) for the $100.0 million term loan, depending on the ratio of the Company’s outstanding consolidated indebtedness to the value of the Company’s consolidated gross asset value. The Amended Facility requires quarterly payments of an annual facility fee in an amount ranging from 0.15% to 0.30%, depending on the ratio of the Company’s outstanding consolidated indebtedness to the value of the Company’s consolidated gross asset value.

The Amended Facility and the Senior Unsecured Notes are guaranteed by the Company and by substantially all of the current and to-be-formed subsidiaries of the Company that own an unencumbered property. The Amended Facility and the Senior Unsecured Notes are not secured by the Company’s properties or by interests in the subsidiaries that hold such properties. The Amended Facility and the Senior Unsecured Notes include a series of financial and other covenants with which the Company must comply. The Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Amended Facility and the Senior Unsecured Notes as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company fully repaid its $11.3 million mortgage loan payable. As of December 31, 2020, this mortgage loan payable, net of deferred financing costs, totaled approximately $11.3 million, and bore interest at a weighted average fixed annual rate of 5.5%. The mortgage loan payable was collateralized by one property. As of December 31, 2020, the total gross book value of the property securing the debt was approximately $32.7 million. As of December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any encumbered properties.

Note 8. Derivative Financial Instruments

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments may be used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of its known or expected cash payments principally related to its borrowings.

Derivative Instruments

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company has historically used interest rate caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate caps involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty at the end of each period in which the interest rate exceeds the agreed fixed price. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company requires that hedging derivative instruments be highly effective in reducing the risk exposure that they are designated to hedge. As a result, there is no significant ineffectiveness from any of its derivative activities.

The accounting for changes in fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. For a derivative that is designated and that qualifies as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”). Amounts recorded in AOCI are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had one interest rate cap to hedge the variable cash flows associated with $50.0 million of its existing $100.0 million variable-rate term loan, that expired on May 4, 2021. The cap had a notional value of $50.0 million and effectively capped the annual interest rate payable at 4.0% plus 1.20% to 1.70%, depending on leverage, with respect to $50.0 million for the period from December 1, 2014 (effective date) to May 4, 2021. The Company previously had an additional interest rate cap with a notional value of $50.0 million (which expired on February 3, 2020) to hedge the variable cash flows associated with $50.0 million of its existing $100.0 million variable-rate term loan. Under each interest rate cap, the Company was required to make certain monthly variable rate payments on the term loan, while the applicable counterparty was obligated to make certain monthly floating rate payments based on LIBOR to the Company in the event LIBOR was greater than 4.0%, referencing the same notional amount.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualified as cash flow hedges is recorded in AOCI and will be reclassified to interest expense in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings on the Company’s variable rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings into interest expense.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 requires disclosure of the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall, including measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active (Level 2), and significant valuation assumptions that are not readily observable in the market (Level 3).

Financial Instruments Disclosed at Fair Value

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these investments or liabilities based on Level 1 inputs. The fair values of the Company’s mortgage loan payable and Senior Unsecured Notes were estimated by calculating the present value of principal and interest payments, based on borrowing rates available to the Company, which are Level 2 inputs, adjusted with a credit spread, as applicable, and assuming the loans are outstanding through maturity. The fair value of the Company’s Amended Facility approximated its carrying value because the variable interest rates approximate market borrowing rates available to the Company, which are Level 2 inputs.

Note 10. Stockholders’ Equity

The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 400,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. The Company has an at-the-market equity offering program (the “$300 Million ATM Program”) pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million ($221.4 million remaining as of December 31, 2021) in amounts and at times to be determined by the Company from time to time. Prior to the implementation of the $300 Million ATM Program, the Company had a previous at-the-market equity offering program (the “Previous $300 Million ATM Program”), which was substantially utilized as of June 10, 2021 and is no longer active. Actual sales under the $300 Million ATM Program, if any, will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock, determinations by the Company of the appropriate sources of funding for the Company and potential uses of funding available to the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,569,771 shares of common stock at a weighted average offering price of $63.23 per share under the Previous $300 Million ATM Program and the $300 Million ATM Program, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $160.1 million and paying total compensation to the applicable sales agents of approximately $2.4 million. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,197,597 shares of common stock at a

Table of Contents

weighted average offering price of $54.08 per share under the Previous $300 Million ATM Program, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $63.8 million, and paying total compensation to the applicable sales agents of approximately $0.9 million.

On November 8, 2021, the Company completed a public offering of 3,500,000 shares of common stock at a price per share of $74.50. On November 10, 2021, the Company sold an additional 525,000 shares upon the exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $296.5 million after deducting the underwriting discount and offering costs of approximately $3.3 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include, without limitation, working capital, repayment of indebtedness, future acquisitions and redevelopments.

The Company has a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 3,000,000 shares of its outstanding common stock from time to time through December 31, 2022. Purchases made pursuant to the program will be made in either the open market or in privately negotiated transactions as permitted by federal securities laws and other legal requirements. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company in its discretion and will be subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had not repurchased any shares of stock pursuant to its share repurchase program.

In connection with the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 4, 2021, the Company granted a total of 10,362 shares of the Company's common unrestricted stock to its independent directors under the 2019 Plan with a grant date fair value per share of $63.70. The grant date fair value of the common stock was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The Company recognized approximately $0.7 million in compensation costs for the year ended December 31, 2021 related to this issuance.

The Company has a Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) maintained for the benefit of select employees and members of the Company’s Board of Directors, in which certain of their cash and equity-based compensation may be deposited. Deferred Compensation Plan assets are held in a rabbi trust, which is subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency. The shares held in the Deferred Compensation Plan are classified within stockholders’ equity in a manner similar to the manner in which treasury stock is classified. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the shares are not recognized. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,136,503 and 139,224 shares of common stock, respectively, were deposited into the Deferred Compensation Plan.

As of December 31, 2021, there were 1,898,961 shares of common stock authorized for issuance as restricted stock grants, unrestricted stock awards or Performance Share awards under the 2019 Plan, of which 1,000,935 were remaining and available for issuance. The grant date fair value per share of restricted stock awards issued during the period from February 16, 2010 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2021 ranged from $14.20 to $75.28. The fair value of the restricted stock that was granted during the year ended December 31, 2021 was approximately $6.6 million and the vesting period for the restricted stock is typically between one and five years. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $10.8 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock issuances, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of approximately 3.1 years. The Company recognized compensation costs of approximately $3.6 million, $2.6 million and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to the restricted stock issuances.

Note 11. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share allocates earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under the two-class method, earnings per common share are computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common stockholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company’s non-vested shares of restricted stock are considered participating securities since these share-based

Table of Contents

awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends irrespective of whether the awards ultimately vest or expire. The Company had no antidilutive securities or dilutive restricted stock awards outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

In accordance with the Company’s policies of determining whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities and accounting for earnings per share, the net income (loss) per common share is adjusted for earnings distributed through declared dividends (if any) and allocated to all participating securities (weighted average common shares outstanding and unvested restricted shares outstanding) under the two-class method. Under this method, allocations were made to 245,075, 341,673 and 402,380 of weighted average unvested restricted shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Performance Share awards which may be payable in shares of the Company’s common stock after the conclusion of each pre-established performance measurement period are included as contingently issuable shares in the calculation of diluted weighted average common shares of stock outstanding assuming the reporting period is the end of the measurement period, and the effect is dilutive. Diluted shares related to the Performance Share awards were 259,468, 407,139 and 294,570 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation. The Company is not involved in any material litigation nor, to its knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against it. In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company may be involved in legal actions relating to the ownership and operations of its properties. Management does not expect that the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions will have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Contractual Commitments. As of February 8, 2022, the Company has five outstanding contracts with third-party sellers to acquire five industrial properties for a total purchase price of approximately $125.8 million. There is no assurance that the Company will acquire the properties under contract because the proposed acquisitions are subject to due diligence and various closing conditions.

As of February 8, 2022, the Company has four non-binding letters of intent with third-party sellers to acquire four industrial properties for a total anticipated purchase price of approximately $94.9 million. In the normal course of its business, the Company enters into non-binding letters of intent to purchase properties from third parties that may obligate the Company to make payments or perform other obligations upon the occurrence of certain events, including the execution of a purchase and sale agreement and satisfactory completion of various due diligence matters. There can be no assurance that the Company will enter into purchase and sale agreements with respect to these properties or otherwise complete any such prospective purchases on the terms described or at all.

Note 13. Subsequent Events

On February 8, 2022, the Company’s board of directors declared a cash dividend in the amount of $0.34 per share of its common stock payable on April 8, 2022 to the stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 25, 2022.
