PORTFOLIO LOCATION DRIVES OUTPERFORMANCE

“The operating environment for industrial real estate in Mexico remains healthy and is led by the consumption and manufacturing sectors,” said Luis Gutierrez, CEO, Prologis Property Mexico. “FIBRA Prologis’ focused investment strategy translated into record rent change at lease expiration, and our well-located portfolio is positioned to capture future growth. We expect to build on this momentum as we move in to the second half of the year.”

Operating Portfolio	2Q18	2Q17	Notes
Period End Occupancy	95.9%	97.3%	Driven by declines in Guadalajara and Tijuana, partially offset by increases in Monterrey and Reynosa
Leases Commenced	2.3 MSF	1.3 MSF	82% of leasing activity is related to renewals mainly in Mexico City and Reynosa markets
Customer Retention	87.1%	89.0%
Net Effective Rent Change	15.1%	13.2%	Led by Mexico City at 18.0%
Cash Same Store NOI	2.5%	3.6%	Lower occupancy and expense recoveries partly offset by higher rents
Same Store NOI	3.9%	1.7%

SOLID FINANCIAL POSITION

At June 30, 2018, FIBRA Prologis’ leverage was 32.8 percent and liquidity was Ps. 6.3 billion (US$318.7 million), which included Ps. 6.1 billion (US$305.0 million) of available capacity on its unsecured credit facility and Ps. 271.9 million (US$13.7 million) of unrestricted cash.

“Our balance sheet is in excellent shape with no near-term maturities and a healthy level of liquidity, which is a result of our risk management strategy,” said Jorge Girault, senior vice president, Finance, Prologis Mexico. “In line with this strategy, the option contract we entered into earlier this year effectively removes any impact from the peso weakening beyond 20MXN per USD for the remainder of the year. With the near-term addressed, we are actively working on addressing our medium- and long-term maturities.”
