Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased to $4,323,534 thousand, up 9.04% from $3,964,575 thousand in the prior year period. This growth was primarily driven by a 9.03% increase in rental revenue, reaching $4,012,597 thousand, indicating robust demand for logistics properties.
Consolidated net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased significantly to $622,304 thousand from $911,501 thousand in 2024. This decline was largely attributable to a shift from foreign currency and derivative gains of $37,152 thousand in 2024 to losses of $(122,829) thousand in 2025, and reduced gains on property dispositions.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025, improved to $2,402,470 thousand, an increase of 12.16% from $2,141,913 thousand in the same period of 2024. This indicates strong underlying operational performance and cash generation capabilities.
The company achieved a significant 53.6% net effective rent change on leases commenced during the six months ended June 30, 2025, reflecting strong pricing power. Occupancy rates remained high at 95.0% across the operating portfolio, indicating sustained demand and effective leasing strategies.
Consolidated development starts totaled $867 million in the second quarter of 2025, with 63.4% being build-to-suit projects, demonstrating a focus on tailored solutions for customers. The development portfolio has a Total Expected Investment (TEI) of $5.2 billion, with $2.3 billion remaining to be invested, signaling future growth potential.
Investments in and advances to unconsolidated entities increased to $10,618,184 thousand at June 30, 2025, up from $10,079,448 thousand at December 31, 2024. This reflects ongoing expansion through co-investment ventures, which allows the company to grow its O&M portfolio and diversify returns.
Despite significant growth and expansion, General and Administrative (G&A) expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025, remained relatively stable at $222 million, compared to $218 million in 2024. This suggests effective cost management and scalable operations.
Management successfully maintained a high operating portfolio occupancy of 95.0% and achieved a substantial 53.6% rent change on lease rollovers. These metrics demonstrate effective property management and leasing capabilities, aligning with stated objectives for organic NOI growth.

The company reported unrealized foreign currency and derivative losses of $(193) million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a substantial negative swing from gains of $40 million in 2024. A hypothetical 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar could result in a $164 million cash payment on settlement of contracts, highlighting ongoing currency risk.

While current leasing activity is strong, this forward-looking statement signals potential macroeconomic headwinds.
