ProLogis to Declare Quarterly Dividend on February 9, 2009

DENVER, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ProLogis (News), a leading global provider of distribution facilities, today announced that it will declare its first quarter 2009 common stock dividend of $0.25 per share when it reports fourth quarter and year-end results after market close on Monday, February 9, 2009.

The timing of the dividend declaration has been moved for the first quarter of 2009 as the company is still investigating whether to pay the dividend in cash or a combination of cash and common stock.

In November 2008, ProLogis announced a series of immediate, definitive actions and outlined a strategic plan to reduce debt, de-risk the development pipeline and right-size the company. In its plan, the company identified payment of the dividend in common stock as one of the many levers that may be used to preserve liquidity.

After 2 years, ProLogis gets OK for distribution center west of London
Denver Business Journal - by Paula Moore

ProLogis Inc. finally has gotten permission to build a 670,000-square-foot distribution center at Greenham Park near Newbury, England, after more than two years of trying.

An inspector with England’s Planning Inspectorate has decided Denver-based ProLogis can go forward with planning its proposed multiple-building New Greenham Park distribution center, according to the inspector’s report and Monday’s edition of the LogisticsManager.com trade publication. Newbury is about 50 miles west of London.

ProLogis expects to start developing the New Greenham Park project “when market conditions improve,” said company spokeswoman Jessica Crow on Monday.

ProLogis (NYSE: PLD) is the world’s largest developer and owner of distribution centers, with nearly 550 million square feet of assets valued at $40.8 billion worldwide.

Since the fall of 2008, ProLogis has been repositioning itself to deal with the global financial and debt crisis by scaling back on new development, selling assets, cutting costs and dividends, and replacing CEO Jeff Schwartz with former company president and COO Walter Rakowich.

The real estate company also said Monday that it’s considering paying its first-quarter dividend of 25 cents per share partly with stock.

Government groups in Greenham Parish, West Berkshire, Hampshire and Basingstoke and Dean objected to the new ProLogis project, worrying that it would increase traffic in the Newbury area and harm the Greenham Common, which is a restored heathland of historic significance that’s also home to wildlife.

Last year, the West Berkshire Council voted to deny ProLogis permission to develop New Greenham Park, but ProLogis appealed the decision. The planning inspector’s recent decision in ProLogis’ favor resolves that appeal.

The British planning inspector said in a report that the Newbury distribution center’s “impact on the surrounding road network would negligible” and “its effect in visual terms would … be minimal.” The inspector further stated he expected “no demonstrable harm to the ecological value of the Commons.”

ProLogis bought the 42-acre New Greenham Park site in 2005 from Britain’s Sainsbury supermarket chain, which was cutting capital expenditures. Sainsbury had gotten planning consent for a regional distribution center there in 2003.

ProLogis said in 2006 that it planned to build a distribution center on the site, which would create some 500 jobs.

The Colorado developer is expected to contribute at least $2.3 million to infrastructure costs for the project, according to LogisticsManager.com.

ProLogis Announces Leasing Activity in Louisville

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ProLogis (News), a leading global provider of distribution facilities, announced today the completion of four transactions in Louisville, bringing its overall leased percentage in the market to 97 percent.

"We are pleased to announce significant leasing activity in Louisville," said Darin Manning, first vice president and market officer for ProLogis. "The market is an attractive choice for our customers due to its availability of labor and strategic location in the Midwest along Interstates 65 and 71. And, Louisville is home to the UPS Worldport Facility, which enables businesses to offer expedited shipping options to their customers."

In early January, ProLogis signed a new lease agreement totaling 273,000 square feet of recently completed distribution space to a leading pharmaceutical services provider at ProLogis Park 65. The park comprises 1.2 million square feet in two buildings and is located off Interstate 65 in Brooks, Kentucky, approximately 14 miles south of Louisville; with this transaction, the park is now fully occupied.

Additional ProLogis leasing activity in Louisville includes three lease agreements for previously occupied space. Customers include:


-- APL Logistics, a leading third-party logistics provider, which expanded into an additional 167,000 square feet with a new lease agreement at ProLogis Park Cedar Grove, located in Shepherdsville, Kentucky at the intersection of Interstate 65 and KY 480. APL now occupies the entire space in building two at the park, totaling 382,800 square feet. This transaction marks the 22nd between the two companies. APL now occupies approximately 5.6 million square feet with ProLogis worldwide;

-- A leading industrial controls manufacturer, which leased 300,000 square feet at Riverport Distribution Center Building III. The park is located near the intersection of the Greenbelt Highway and Freeport Drive in the Jefferson Riverport International master-plans industrial park;

-- A third-party logistics provider specializing in the pharmaceutical industry, which leased 273,000 square feet at ProLogis Park I-65. The distribution park is located off Interstate 65 approximately 12 miles south of Louisville in Brooks, Kentucky.


ProLogis entered Louisville in 1995 and is the largest provider of bulk distribution space in the market with 5.5 million square feet in 17 buildings. Additional customers in the area include Exel Logistics, Kellogg's and Master Lock Company.

ProLogis Leases 178,000 Square Feet in Mexico

REYNOSA, Mexico, Feb. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ProLogis (News), a leading global provider of distribution facilities, announced today it has leased approximately 178,000 square feet of recently developed industrial space in Reynosa, Mexico.

"We are pleased to announce new lease activity in Reynosa, bringing our overall leased percentage in the market to 92 percent," said Silvano Solis, ProLogis senior vice president and head of Mexico operations. "The Reynosa area is considered to be a prime distribution and light manufacturing market with excellent access to major highway corridors."

Both transactions included new lease agreements with auto-parts manufacturers. ProLogis leased 94,500 square feet at ProLogis Park Pharr Bridge, Building 11. The facility was completed during the first quarter of 2008 and is now fully occupied.

ProLogis also leased 83,400 square feet at El Puente Industrial Center, Building 3. The 106,200-square-foot facility was completed at the end of August 2008.

"Our customers have chosen locations ideally suited for their specific needs," said Juan Carlos Lopez, market officer for ProLogis in Reynosa. "El Puente Industrial Center enables cost-effective options due to its proximity to a qualified labor force and position at the intersection of two major highways. Likewise, Pharr Bridge Industrial Center offers convenient highway access and is minutes from Reynosa International Airport. In addition, both parks are near the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge, which is one of the key ports of entry for the U.S.-Mexico border."

ProLogis Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2008 Results

DENVER, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ProLogis (News), a leading global provider of distribution facilities, today reported funds from operations as defined by ProLogis (FFO), excluding significant non-cash items, of $3.68 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared with $4.61 per share in 2007. FFO, including significant non-cash items, was $0.68 per share, compared with $4.61 in 2007. For 2008, the company reported a net loss of $1.65 per diluted share, compared with net earnings of $3.94 in 2007.

For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008, FFO, excluding significant non-cash items, was $0.61 per share, compared with $0.79 in 2007. FFO, including significant non-cash items, for the fourth quarter of 2008 was a net loss of $2.43 per diluted share, compared with a net gain of $0.79 in the fourth quarter of 2007. The company reported a net loss of $3.34 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with net earnings of $0.43 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2007.

"After a thorough review of the assets on our balance sheet and in our unconsolidated investees, we recognized impairment charges where appropriate, given the current economic climate and our long-term intent for the properties," said Walter C. Rakowich, chief executive officer. "Excluding these adjustments, our results were in line with expectations, and these non-cash charges do not affect our liquidity or our conviction in the long-term value of our global portfolio."

Fundamentals Held Up in Fourth Quarter but Now Seeing Softening

"Our operating fundamentals held up reasonably well in the fourth quarter, with essentially flat same-store net operating income, stable levels of leasing activity and above-average customer retention, despite a decrease in activity levels toward the end of the year," Rakowich added.

"Companies are dealing with capital limitations and the uncertainties of the current economic environment and are therefore hesitant to incur the cost to relocate their facilities. As a result, our customer retention is healthy, but lease-up of newly developed inventory space is tepid. Fortunately, most markets are not significantly oversupplied, and new development deliveries in 2009 are expected to be at the lowest level in decades. We continue to closely monitor market conditions and believe that the quality of our people and strength of our customer relationships will help us maintain better leasing levels than overall market averages during these difficult times."

Disposition and Contribution Activity Supports De-leveraging Goal

In November 2008, ProLogis outlined a series of actions to achieve a reduction of roughly $2 billion in direct debt during 2009. The plan includes reducing the company's development pipeline through fund contributions, asset sales and a halt in all but previously committed development starts.

During the fourth quarter, ProLogis completed total dispositions with aggregate proceeds of $1.33 billion, including contributions to ProLogis property funds of $1.25 billion. Ted R. Antenucci, chief investment officer, said, "We pulled several development projects in the fourth quarter that were previously included in our year-to-date new construction starts, resulting in a reduction of over $345 million. For the full year, new development starts were just $2.1 billion in 2008, down by more than half from our initial expectation of $4.4 to $4.8 billion, in light of the rapidly deteriorating economic environment in the fourth quarter of 2008.

"While we have an additional $885 million of costs associated with completing and leasing our development pipeline, we do not anticipate significant commitments beyond that level because we intend to pursue development management opportunities and projects funded by venture partners that enable us to leverage our development infrastructure and monetize land. Between the reduction in new development spending, the sale of our China operations and 2008 disposition activity, we have reduced our development pipeline to just over $5 billion, from nearly $8 billion at the end of the third quarter."

Summary of Impairments and Non-cash Adjustments

In total, the company recorded impairments and non-cash adjustments of approximately $811 million.

Components of the non-cash charges recognized in the fourth quarter are as follows:

-- Impairment of goodwill and other assets of $320.6 million;
-- Impairment of land and operating properties of $274.7 million;
-- Impairment related to assets held for sale - China operations of $198.2 million;
-- ProLogis' share of losses and impairments in property funds of $108.2 million; and
-- Gain on early extinguishment of debt of $90.7 million.

The company also recognized a charge of $26.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter related to its reduction in workforce. This amount is reflected in FFO, excluding significant non-cash items.

Asia Transaction Closed

Additionally, the company said that it has closed the previously announced sale of its operations in China and property fund interests in Japan to affiliates of GIC Real Estate (GIC RE), the real estate investment arm of the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation. Total cash consideration for the transaction is $1.3 billion, which will be used to reduce debt and for general corporate purposes. The funding will occur in two phases; $500 million was received by ProLogis upon closing and the remaining $800 million will be funded upon completion of year-end audits of certain entities, which the company expects to provide as soon as possible, but no later than early in the second quarter.

GIC RE has assumed all liabilities associated with the properties acquired. In addition, GIC RE will reimburse ProLogis approximately $45 million of development funding expended by the company in China since November 1, 2008.

While the impairment charge of $198 million associated with the sale of the company's China operations is included in the non-cash charges taken in 2008 outlined above, the gain of approximately $140 million associated with the sale of the company's property fund interests in Japan will be recognized in 2009. As a result of the Asia transaction, ProLogis' development pipeline is reduced by $1.0 billion, including over $200 million in costs to complete development of the assets previously owned directly and within ProLogis' development joint ventures in China.

First Quarter Dividend to be Paid in Cash

William E. Sullivan, chief financial officer, added, "With our recently closed sale of certain Asian operations for $1.3 billion and other initiatives, we are making significant progress toward our de-leveraging goal. Additionally, the ProLogis Board has declared the company's first quarter dividend of $0.25 per common share, which will be paid in cash."

The company noted that it is the ProLogis Board's intent to pay regular quarterly dividends in cash; however, it reserves the right to review this decision in light of overall credit availability and the company's liquidity position each quarter. The $0.25 per share first quarter common dividend will be payable on February 27, 2009, to shareholders of record on February 19, 2009.

Business Drivers Support 2009 Guidance

Additionally, the company provided revised 2009 guidance of $1.85 to $2.05 in FFO per share and $1.05 to $1.15 in earnings per share. "With economic weakness anticipated to persist through 2009, we are focused on our core industrial business in our existing markets. Our guidance reflects that focus; however, sizeable asset sales or other corporate actions could alter our expectations, which we will reflect in future guidance," Sullivan added. For details on the key business drivers and assumptions that support the company's 2009 guidance, please use this link: http://ir.prologis.com/investors/business_drivers.cfm or visit the company's website at http://ir.prologis.com/.

Selected Financial and Operating Information -- Same-store net operating income in the quarter was essentially flat. Average full-year, same-store net operating income grew by 1.62 percent with a 0.84 percent increase in same-store leasing and 2.81 percent same-store rent growth on turnovers. -- Reported leasing of 94.7 percent in the direct owned, non-development portfolio, compared with 95.2 percent at December 31, 2007. -- Recycled a total of $4.9 billion of capital through contributions and dispositions during the year. Post-deferral, post-tax margins for all CDFS dispositions averaged 10.6 percent for the fourth quarter and 16.0 percent for full year 2008. -- Grew income from ProLogis' Investment Management business by 20.7 percent, to $306.6 million for the year, before our share of losses in ProLogis European Properties, compared with $254.1 million in 2007. -- Ended the year with total liquidity of $1.25 billion, including cash and availability under the company's global lines of credit.

ProLogis Closes on $120 Million Portfolio Refinancing for ProLogis California Fund

DENVER, March 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ProLogis (News), a leading global provider of distribution facilities and services, announced today that it has closed on a $120 million, ten-year, secured financing with a major life insurance company on behalf of the ProLogis California Fund. The financing has a loan-to-value of approximately 50 percent with 11 industrial properties located in the LA Basin and Inland Empire as security. The proceeds will be used to partially refinance a $176 million secured debt facility that was set to mature in March 2009 but has been extended to March 2010.

In November 2008, ProLogis announced a series of immediate, definitive actions and outlined a strategic plan to reduce debt, de-risk the development pipeline and right-size the company. The plan includes re-financing and/or renegotiating debt maturities on ProLogis' balance sheet and in its property funds, halting new development starts, shrinking the development pipeline, de-levering the balance sheet, and retaining capital through G&A cuts and a reduction of the dividend.

ProLogis Reports First Quarter 2009 Results / - Significant Progress on De-leveraging Initiatives -

DENVER, April 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ProLogis (News), a leading global provider of distribution facilities, today reported first quarter 2009 funds from operations as defined by ProLogis (FFO), excluding significant non-cash items, of $0.86 per diluted share, compared with $1.34 in 2008. Net earnings per diluted share for the first quarter were $0.66 in 2009, compared with $0.69 in 2008.

FFO, including significant non-cash items, was $0.90 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2009, primarily due to gains from early extinguishment of debt, partially offset by ProLogis' share of property fund losses resulting from derivative activity. Net earnings and FFO per diluted share as previously reported for the first quarter of 2008 were reduced by $10.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the company's retroactive adoption of APB 14-1 and related additional interest expense.

"We have accomplished a great deal in the first part of 2009, making significant progress on our objectives to de-leverage and de-risk the company," said Walter C. Rakowich, chief executive officer. "As a result of our recent equity offering, the sale of certain operations and property fund interests in Asia and property fund contributions, we have generated nearly $2.7 billion of cash in just the past few weeks.

"Taking into consideration additional asset sale and refinancing agreements and the remaining capital requirements related to our development pipeline, we believe we have substantially addressed our anticipated cash needs through 2012. Our swift execution of these de-leveraging initiatives enables us to further enhance our focus on operating property performance, completing and leasing properties in our development portfolio and pursuing opportunities to generate value from our land bank," Rakowich said.

Property Market Fundamentals Soft

During the quarter, industrial property fundamentals continued to reflect global economic weakness and the slowdown in global trade. Throughout the majority of the company's markets, activity levels were reduced and leasing concessions are on the rise. Partially offsetting these trends are higher-than-average customer retention and sharply reduced levels of new supply. ProLogis' same-store net operating income (excluding same-store assets associated with the company's development portfolio), decreased 1.9 percent, reflecting a 1.8 percent decrease in leased percentage and negative rent growth of 4.2 percent for the quarter. Including development portfolio assets, in line with previous reporting, same-store net operating income for the period increased 0.78 percent, with a 0.16 percent increase in leased percentage and negative rent growth of 4.2 percent.

"On average, the company's non-development portfolio was 93.0 percent leased at the end of the first quarter, down from 94.7 percent at year-end 2008, in line with our expectations," Rakowich added. "We have been actively addressing our lease turnovers for the remainder of the year as well as the continued lease up of our development portfolio. Despite the challenging environment, we improved leasing within our development portfolio by 500 basis points, prior to contributions and reflecting the reversal of previous starts."

Asset Sales, Fund Contributions and Debt Repurchases Support De-leveraging Goal

In November 2008, ProLogis outlined a series of actions to achieve a reduction of roughly $2 billion in direct debt by the end of 2009. The plan included reducing the company's development pipeline through fund contributions, asset sales and a halt in all but previously committed development starts, as well as cash savings through a reduction of the common dividend and G&A expenses.

During the first quarter, ProLogis completed dispositions with aggregate proceeds of $1.49 billion, including the previously announced sale of its China operations and Japan property fund interests for $1.35 billion and fund contributions and asset sales of $136 million. Ted R. Antenucci, president and chief investment officer, said, "In addition to these completed transactions at quarter end, we had approximately $700 million of direct-owned assets for sale, 85 percent of which were under contract or letter of intent. In addition, we had another $585 million of development properties greater than 93 percent leased that are available for contribution to our Europe and Mexico property funds throughout the remainder of 2009. Given the significant improvement in our liquidity, we will continue to evaluate the level of asset sales and contributions throughout the year."

William E. Sullivan, chief financial officer, said, "In light of our successful equity offering, we anticipate substantially exceeding our $2 billion de-leveraging goal by the end of 2009 and will continue to pursue opportunities to further de-leverage the company." Between October 1, 2008 and March 31, 2009, the company reduced its outstanding debt by $1.7 billion. "Since the end of the first quarter, we have created incremental de-leveraging of $1.2 billion from the equity offering as well as from additional bond and convertible note buybacks.

"In addition, we have a sizeable base of unencumbered assets on our balance sheet, which provides secured debt financing capacity," said Sullivan. "As such, we intend to utilize the secured debt market to provide additional liquidity to re-finance near-term maturities and have $344 million of such financings in documentation."

Company Declares Common Dividend

Earlier this month, following the issuance of approximately 175 million shares of common stock, the company's Board reduced the 2009 annualized dividend rate to $0.70 per share, including the $0.25 per share paid in February 2009. Sullivan noted, "Our projected annual dividend rate is generally tied to our anticipated taxable income for that same year. While the new dividend level represents approximately the same cash expenditure as the previous dividend amount, the quarterly amount per share for the remainder of the year of $0.15 was established to adjust for the additional shares outstanding."

Also today, the company declared its second quarter common dividend of $0.15 per share, which will be payable on May 29, 2009, to shareholders of record on May 15, 2009.

- Group Gives ProLogis' Renewable Energy Program Executive Leadership, Local Presence and Dedicated Global Resources -
- ProLogis Announces New Solar Project For 4.8 Megawatts in Spain -

DENVER, Sept 29, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- ProLogis (NYSE: PLD), a leading global provider of distribution facilities, announced today it has formed a Global Renewable Energy Group to procure new business, manage installations and provide development management services for renewable energy projects globally.

"Even through the challenges of the global recession we are finding more ways to create additional value from existing assets," said Walt Rakowich, chief executive officer at ProLogis. "We are excited to announce the formation of this group, which will enable us to expand upon the proven success in wind and solar projects we already have demonstrated in five countries across Europe, Asia and North America."

In addition, ProLogis today announced a new, 4.8-megawatt (MW) solar project to be installed on eight of its rooftops at ProLogis Park Sant Boi in Barcelona and ProLogis Park Alcala in Madrid, Spain. ProLogis completed its first solar installation in France in 2005, and now has solar installations on 20 buildings covering 7.2 million square feet (669,000 square meters) of roof space.

"Upon completion of the new project in Spain, we will have more than 11 MW of solar installations on our rooftops, which is enough energy to power more than 1,100 homes per year," said Jack Rizzo, chief sustainability officer for ProLogis. "We are excited about the results of our renewable energy program so far, and expect to grow our portfolio significantly through the ongoing efforts of our Global Renewable Energy Group."

ProLogis has signed a lease agreement with Recurrent Energy, a distributed power company and a leading provider of solar energy, for two million square feet (180,000 square meters) of roof space in Spain. Recurrent Energy, the owner and operator of the system, will use the roof space to host the 4.8-MW solar installation, and will sell the energy produced to the local utility company through a feed-in tariff. ProLogis will provide construction management services in addition to receiving roof rental fees. Construction is expected to commence in October 2009.

"We have more than 450 million square feet (42 million square meters) of roof space worldwide, all of which is large, flat, unobstructed and ready to be permitted," said Drew Torbin, director of global renewable energy for ProLogis. "Even with this new installation, we are only utilizing less than two percent of this available roof space, leaving a lot of room for us to grow this new business."

Torbin added, "Our industrial rooftops create a unique host-site opportunity for utilities as well as private groups like Recurrent that invest in clean energy. With this space, we are able to solve one of the most basic issues involved in developing large-scale solar projects - the question of appropriate host sites - while also providing the construction management experience to get solar installations on the fast-track to completion."

The installation will be ProLogis' third solar project in Spain; the company also has installations in Tarragona and Zaragoza. Worldwide, ProLogis has projects located in the United States, Japan, France, Germany and Spain.
