Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K/A (Amendment No. 1) was filed by Industrial Logistics Properties Trust (ILPT) on April 22, 2019, to amend and supplement previous Current Reports dated February 14, 2019, and April 9, 2019. The filing provides historical financial statements and unaudited pro forma financial information regarding the acquisition of industrial properties from GPT Operating Partnership LP (GPT) and Cole Office & Industrial REIT (CCIT II), Inc. (CCIT II).
Key Financial Metrics and Transaction Details
- GPT Acquisition: ILPT acquired eight industrial properties (approx. 4.2 million rentable square feet) in Indianapolis and Cincinnati for a total purchase price of $280.0 million (excluding acquisition costs). Seven properties were acquired on February 14, 2019, for $249.5 million, and the remaining property was acquired on April 2, 2019, for $30.5 million.
- CCIT II Acquisition: ILPT acquired 18 industrial properties (approx. 8.7 million rentable square feet) across 12 states for a purchase price of $624.7 million (excluding acquisition costs). This transaction included the assumption of $57.0 million in mortgage debt and was completed on April 9, 2019.
- Financing: The pro forma financial data reflects $650.0 million of mortgage financing completed in January 2019 used to fund a portion of these acquisitions.
- Historical Data: The filing includes historical statements of revenues and certain expenses for the acquired properties for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Material Changes and Pro Forma Information
The primary material change reported is the inclusion of unaudited pro forma combined financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. These statements give effect to the GPT and CCIT II acquisitions and the $650.0 million mortgage financing as if they occurred on January 1, 2018. The filing explicitly states that the pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of future financial positions or results of operations.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management notes that actual future results may differ significantly from the pro forma data due to various factors, including:
- Changes in the portfolio of investments.
- Fluctuations in interest rates and capital structure.
- Variations in property-level operating expenses and revenues (including rent collections).
- Market demand, supply, and competitive factors in local and national industrial property markets.
- Tenant ability to make payments when due.
ILPT states that after reasonable inquiry, it is not currently aware of any other material factors relating to the properties that would cause the reported financial information not to be indicative of future operating results.
Investor Verification Checklist
