Key insights and themes extracted from this filing
Rental operations generally contributes 90% to 95% of the consolidated revenues, earnings and FFO. The primary driver of revenue growth will be the rolling of in-place leases to current market rents when leases expire.
The net proceeds and gains are principally from the contribution of properties to unconsolidated co-investment ventures in the U.S. and Europe and sales of non-strategic properties to third parties in the U.S.
G&A expenses were $419 million and $390 million for 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase is principally due to inflationary increases and higher compensation expenses.

As a global company, we are subject to social, geopolitical and economic risks associated with conducting business in many countries and our results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.
We are required to comply with many regulations in different countries, including (but not limited to) the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act and similar laws and regulations. Noncompliance could result in the imposition of governmental fines or the award of damages to private litigants.
To the extent there is turmoil in the global financial markets, this turmoil has the potential to adversely affect: (i) the value of our properties; (ii) the availability or the terms of financing that we have or may anticipate utilizing; (iii) our ability to make principal and interest payments on, or refinance any outstanding debt when due; and (iv) the ability of our customers to enter into new leasing transactions or satisfy rental payments under existing leases.
Real estate ownership is highly fragmented, and we face competition from many owners and operators. Competitively priced logistics space could impact our occupancy rates and have an adverse effect on how much rent we can charge, which in turn could affect our operating results.
Despite the competition, our global reach and local market knowledge over the years have given us distinct competitive advantages, including the following: a portfolio of properties strategically located in markets characterized by large population densities, growing consumption and high barriers to entry.
A strong balance sheet and credit ratings, coupled with significant liquidity, borrowing capacity and long-term fixed debt with low rates.
We have scalable systems and infrastructure in place to grow both our consolidated and O&M portfolios with limited incremental G&A expense. We use adjusted G&A expenses as a percentage of the O&M portfolio (based on gross book value) to measure and evaluate the overhead costs associated with the O&M portfolio.
We are focused on creating value beyond real estate by enhancing our customers' experience, leveraging our scale in procurement and innovating through data analytics and digitization efforts.

Proceeds from property dispositions, generally achieved by contributing newly developed properties to our co-investment ventures and selling of non-strategic properties to third parties, enable us to recycle capital back into our ongoing investment activities.
The co-investment ventures provide capital from third parties that allows us to grow our O&M portfolio, contribute to self-funding our development activities through the sale or contribution of newly developed assets to these vehicles and produce substantial fees for our management of the assets.
