The transaction price for each of our share classes is equal to such class’s NAV per share as of July 31, 2020. A calculation of the NAV per share is set forth in the section of this Supplement titled “July 31, 2020 NAV Per Share.” The offering price of our common stock for each share class equals the transaction price of such class, plus applicable upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees.
● | JULY 31, 2020 NAV PER SHARE |
Our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, has adopted valuation procedures, as amended from time to time, that contain a comprehensive set of methodologies to be used in connection with the calculation of our NAV. Our most recent NAV per share for each share class, which is updated as of the last calendar day of each month, is posted on our website at www.blackcreekindustrialiv.com and is also available on our toll-free, automated telephone line at (888) 310-9352. See the “Net Asset Value Calculation and Valuation Procedures” section of the Prospectus for a more detailed description of our valuation procedures, including important disclosure regarding real property valuations provided by Altus Group U.S. Inc. (the “Independent Valuation Advisor”). All parties engaged by us in the calculation of our NAV, including the Advisor, are subject to the oversight of our board of directors. Generally, all of our real properties are appraised once each calendar year by third party appraisal firms in accordance with our valuation procedures and such appraisals are reviewed by the Independent Valuation Advisor.

As used below, “Fund Interests” means our outstanding shares of common stock, along with the partnership units in our operating partnership (“OP Units”) held directly or indirectly by the Sponsor, and “Aggregate Fund NAV” means the NAV of all of the Fund Interests.
The following table sets forth the components of Aggregate Fund NAV as of July 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020:
The following table sets forth the NAV per Fund Interest as of July 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020:
Under GAAP, we record liabilities for ongoing distribution fees that (i) we currently owe under the terms of the dealer manager agreement and (ii) we estimate we may pay to the Dealer Manager in future periods for shares of our common stock. As of July 31, 2020, we estimated approximately $42.6 million of ongoing distribution fees were potentially payable to the Dealer Manager. We intend for our NAV to reflect our estimated value on the date that we determine our NAV. As such, we do not deduct the liability for estimated future distribution fees in our calculation of NAV that may become payable after the date as of which our NAV is calculated.
The valuations of our real property as of July 31, 2020 were provided by the Independent Valuation Advisor in accordance with our valuation procedures. Certain key assumptions that were used by the Independent Valuation Advisor in the discounted cash flow analysis are set forth in the following table:

A change in the rates used would impact the calculation of the value of our real properties. For example, assuming all other factors remain constant, the hypothetical changes listed below would result in the following effects on the value of our real properties:
● | STATUS OF OUR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE OFFERINGS |
As of August 5, 2020, we had raised gross proceeds of $1.3 billion from the sale of 124.7 million shares of our common stock in our follow-on public offering, including $28.2 million from the sale of 2.8 million shares of our common stock through the distribution reinvestment plan. As of August 5, 2020, approximately $1.2 billion in shares of our common stock remained available for sale pursuant to
2
our follow-on public offering in any combination of Class T shares, Class W shares and Class I shares, including approximately $480.1 million in shares of common stock available for sale through our distribution reinvestment plan, which may be reallocated for sale in our primary offering.
● | MANAGEMENT TRANSITION |
On August 12, 2020, our board of directors appointed Scott A. Seager to serve as our Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. Thomas G. McGonagle stepped down as Managing Director, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective as of August 12, 2020, as part of the Company’s and the advisor’s succession plans. Mr. McGonagle will continue to be a key member of the management team of the Company’s advisor and will serve on the Combined Industrial Advisors Committee, which has responsibilities with respect to the review and approval of certain of the Company’s acquisition, disposition, leasing, capital expenditure and borrowing activities. Mr. Seager has had a long tenure with the Company and, immediately prior to this appointment, served as our Senior Vice President, Debt Capital Markets and Treasurer.

● | IMPACT OF COVID-19 |
The global pandemic and resulting shut down of large parts of the U.S. economy has created significant uncertainty and enhanced investment risk across many asset classes, including real estate. The extent of the impact on the commercial real estate sector continues to vary dramatically across real estate property types and markets, with certain property segments affected particularly harshly. While not immune to the effects of COVID-19, the industrial property sector continues to remain relatively resilient and we believe we are well-positioned to navigate this unprecedented period. From December 31, 2019 and through August 5, 2020, we raised over $788.8 million in equity capital. We believe that the increased pace at which we raised capital in early 2020 was primarily due to an influx of capital from shareholders of Industrial Property Trust (“IPT”) who determined to invest in shares of our common stock following the completion of IPT’s asset sale in January 2020. As a result, our balance sheet as of June 30, 2020 was strong with over $400.0 million of cash and less than 30% leverage, calculated as our total borrowings outstanding divided by the fair value of our real property plus cash and cash equivalents. We have continued to see steady capital inflows from new investors who invested $189.0 million of new capital into the Company during the second quarter. In addition, our portfolio was 97.1% leased and occupied as of June 30, 2020 and is diversified across 55 assets totaling 11.6 million square feet. Our buildings contain a diverse roster of 103 customers, large and small, spanning a multitude of industries and sectors across 18 markets, with a strategic weighting towards top tier markets where we have historically seen the lowest volatility combined with positive returns over time.
Our tenured and experienced asset management teams are working directly with our customers to manage through these turbulent times. Many of our customers’ businesses have been disrupted and some of our more impacted customers are experiencing lost revenue. Our teams are working with these customers to ensure they take advantage of any available insurance and government stimulus programs, which may help them pay rent whether in full or in part. Where appropriate, we have restructured leases and may restructure additional leases to provide temporary rent relief needed by certain customers while positioning ourselves to recapture abated rent over time. After adjusting for customers with such forbearance agreements in place, we received or agreed to defer 99% of our rent originally payable for the second quarter of 2020, compared to average annual collections of over 99% prior to the pandemic. We have executed or agreed to such forbearance agreements with approximately 5% of our customers (based on second quarter gross rent). Within our existing portfolio, and without adjusting for the effects of these forbearance agreements, we received 94% of our contractual rent for the second quarter of 2020, and 97% of our contractual rent for July. Rent relief requests did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to continue to collect rent at the same level that we did prior to the pandemic. Furthermore, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to recover unpaid rent.
While the uncertain length and depth of the damage from business disruptions remain a significant risk, we believe our NAV as of June 30, 2020 currently reflects this uncertainty, as the Independent Valuation Advisor has proactively increased credit loss reserves that may result from forbearance agreements or increased vacancies in the broader market since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. While we have not yet seen a reduction in deployment, going forward, the market disruption may slow our pace of deployment as sellers may be less willing to transact. Slower deployment of capital into income producing real estate further reduces near term cash flow generated to cover our distributions to our stockholders and may cause us to reduce our NAV in future periods in the absence of asset appreciation or expense support from the Advisor. However, we believe our strong balance sheet and ability as an operator will allow us to be a patient buyer of assets in order to maximize long-term total return and value creation for our stockholders.

● | REAL PROPERTIES |
The following information supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the disclosure contained in the section titled “Investments in Real Properties, Real Estate Securities and Debt Related Investments” beginning on page 129 of the Prospectus:
Real Estate Portfolio Overview
As of June 30, 2020, we owned and managed a real estate portfolio that included 55 industrial buildings totaling approximately 11.6 million square feet located in 18 markets throughout the U.S., with 103 customers, and was 97.1% leased and occupied with a weighted-average remaining lease term (based on square feet) of 4.8 years. The occupied rate reflects the square footage with a paying customer in place. The leased rate includes the occupied square footage and additional square footage with leases in place that have not yet commenced. Our portfolio has an estimated aggregate weighted-average purchase price capitalization rate of approximately 4.5% (4.8% excluding contractual free rent during a portion of the year following acquisition of certain of the properties).
The purchase price capitalization rate is based on the property’s projected cash net operating income from in-place leases for the 12 months after the date of purchase, including any contractual rent increases contained in such leases for those 12 months, divided by the purchase price for the property, exclusive of transfer taxes, due diligence expenses and other closing costs including acquisition costs.
Unless otherwise indicated, the term “property” as used herein refers to one or more buildings in the same market that were acquired by us in the same transaction.
Building Types. Our industrial buildings consist primarily of warehouse distribution facilities suitable for single or multiple customers. The following table summarizes our portfolio by building type as of June 30, 2020:
5
Portfolio Overview and Market Diversification. As of June 30, 2020, the average effective annual rent of our total real estate portfolio (calculated by dividing total annualized base rent, which includes the impact of any contractual tenant concessions (cash basis), by total occupied square footage) was approximately $5.37 per square foot. The following table summarizes certain operating metrics of our portfolio by market as of June 30, 2020:
(1) | The occupied rate reflects the square footage with a paying customer in place. The leased rate includes the occupied square footage and additional square footage with leases in place that have not yet commenced. |
(2) | Annualized base rent is calculated as monthly base rent including the impact of any contractual tenant concessions (cash basis) per the terms of the lease as of June 30, 2020, multiplied by 12. |
Lease Terms. Our industrial properties are typically subject to leases on a “triple net basis,” in which customers pay their proportionate share of real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and certain other operating costs. In addition, most of our leases include fixed rental increases or Consumer Price Index-based rental increases. Lease terms typically range from one to 10 years, and often include renewal options.
6
Lease Expirations. As of June 30, 2020, the weighted-average remaining lease term (based on square feet) of our total occupied portfolio was approximately 4.8 years, excluding renewal options. The following table summarizes the lease expirations of our occupied portfolio for leases in place as of June 30, 2020, without giving effect to the exercise of renewal options or termination rights, if any:
(1) | Annualized base rent is calculated as monthly base rent including the impact of any contractual tenant concessions (cash basis) per the terms of the lease as of June 30, 2020, multiplied by 12. |
Customer Diversification. As of June 30, 2020, there were two customers that individually represented more than 5.0% of total occupied square feet and two customers that individually represented more than 5.0% of total annualized base rent. The following table reflects our 10 largest customers, based on annualized base rent, which occupied a combined 4.7 million square feet as of June 30, 2020:
The majority of our customers do not have a public corporate credit rating. We evaluate creditworthiness and financial strength of prospective customers based on financial, operating and business plan information that is provided to us by such prospective customers, as well as other market, industry, and economic information that is generally publicly available.
7
Industry Diversification. The table below illustrates the diversification of our portfolio by industry classifications of our customers as of June 30, 2020:
(1) | Annualized base rent is calculated as monthly base rent including the impact of any contractual tenant concessions (cash basis) per the terms of the lease as of June 30, 2020, multiplied by 12. |
Debt Obligations. As of June 30, 2020, our indebtedness of $464.3 million is comprised of borrowings under our term loan and mortgage note debt, with a weighted-average interest rate of 2.39%. Our fixed interest rate debt consists of $350.0 million under our term loan, which is effectively fixed through the use of interest rate swap agreements, and $49.3 million of principal borrowings under our mortgage notes. Our variable interest rate debt consists of $65.0 million under our term loan. The total gross book value of properties encumbered by our mortgage note debt is $116.5 million. See “Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in the section of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020 (included at the end of this Supplement) titled “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes” for additional information.
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) that regulates LIBOR announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”), which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative rate for LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. We are not able to predict when LIBOR will cease to be available or when there will be sufficient liquidity in the SOFR markets. Any changes adopted by the FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR. If that were to occur, our interest payment could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rate and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in the current form.
As of June 30, 2020, our line of credit and term loan are our only indebtedness with maturities beyond 2021 that have exposure to LIBOR. The agreement governing the term loan provides procedures for determining a replacement or alternative base rate in the event that LIBOR is discontinued. However, there can be no assurances as to whether such replacement or alternative base rate will be more or less favorable than LIBOR. As of June 30, 2020, we have interest rate swaps in place to hedge LIBOR on $350.0 million of commitments under our term loan. We intend to monitor the developments with respect to the potential phasing out of LIBOR after 2021 and work with our lenders to seek to ensure any transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on our financial condition, but can provide no assurances regarding the impact of the discontinuation of LIBOR.

We intend to continue to accrue and make distributions on a regular basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, approximately 2.1% of our total gross distributions were paid from cash flows from operating activities, as determined on a GAAP basis, and 97.9% of our total gross distributions were funded from sources other than cash flows from operating activities, as determined on a GAAP basis; specifically 48.1% of our total gross distributions were paid from cash provided by expense support from the Advisor, and 49.8% of our total gross distributions were funded with proceeds from shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. Some or all of our future cash distributions may be paid from sources other than cash flows from operating activities, such as cash flows from financing activities, which include borrowings (including borrowings secured by our assets), proceeds from the issuance of shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, proceeds from sales of assets, cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees otherwise payable to the Advisor or its affiliates (including cash received pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement as described in “Prospectus Summary—Compensation to the Advisor and its Affiliates—Expense Support Agreement” and “Management Compensation—Expense Support Agreement”), interest income from our cash balances, and the net proceeds from primary shares sold in this offering. We have not established a cap on the amount of our cash distributions that may be paid from any of these sources. The amount of any cash distributions will be determined by our board of directors, and will depend on, among other things, current and projected cash requirements, tax considerations and other factors deemed relevant by our board.
For the third quarter of 2020, our board of directors authorized monthly cash distributions to all common stockholders of record as of the close of business on the last business day of each month for the third quarter of 2020, or July 31, 2020, August 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020 (each a “Distribution Record Date”). The distributions were authorized at a quarterly rate of (i) $0.13625 per Class I share of common stock and (ii) $0.13625 per Class T share and per Class W share of common stock, less the respective annual distribution fees that are payable monthly with respect to such Class T shares and Class W shares. This quarterly rate is equal to a monthly rate of (i) $0.04542 per Class I share of common stock and (ii) $0.04542 per Class T share and per Class W share of common stock, less the respective annual distribution fees that are payable with respect to such Class T shares and Class W shares. Cash distributions for each month of the third quarter of 2020 have been or will be paid in cash or reinvested in shares of our common stock for those electing to
10
participate in our distribution reinvestment plan following the close of business on the respective Distribution Record Date applicable to such monthly distributions.
There can be no assurances that the current distribution rate or amount per share will be maintained. In the near-term, we expect that we may need to continue to rely on expense support from the Advisor and sources other than cash flows from operations, as determined on a GAAP basis, to pay cash distributions, which if insufficient could negatively impact our ability to pay cash distributions. See “Prospectus Summary—Compensation to the Advisor and its Affiliates—Expense Support Agreement” and “Management Compensation—Expense Support Agreement” for further detail regarding the waiver and expense support agreement among us, the Operating Partnership and the Advisor.
The following table outlines sources used, as determined on a GAAP basis, to pay total gross cash distributions (which are paid in cash or reinvested in shares of our common stock through our distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”)) for the quarters ended as of the dates indicated below:
(1) | For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Advisor provided expense support of $13.5 million. See “Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020 (included at the end of this Supplement) for further detail on the expense support provided during the quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Advisor provided expense support of $6.1 million. See “Prospectus Summary—Compensation to the Advisor and its Affiliates—Expense Support Agreement” for a description of the expense support agreement. |
(2) | Stockholders may elect to have cash distributions reinvested in shares of our common stock through our distribution reinvestment plan. |
(3) | Gross distributions are total distributions before the deduction of any distribution fees relating to Class T shares and Class W shares issued in the primary portion of our public offerings. |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our cash flows provided by operating activities on a GAAP basis were $18.7 million, as compared to our aggregate total gross distributions declared (which are paid in cash or reinvested in shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan) of $25.9 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, our cash flows provided by operating activities on a GAAP basis were $4.6 million, as compared to our aggregate total gross distributions declared (which are paid in cash or reinvested in shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan) of $8.2 million.
We believe that our FFO of $18.3 million, or $1.09 per share, as compared to the total gross distributions declared (which are paid in cash or reinvested in shares offered through our distribution reinvestment plan) of $51.4 million, or $2.02 per share, for the period from Inception (August 12, 2014) to June 30, 2020, are not indicative of future performance as we are in the acquisition phase of our life cycle and still receiving expense support from the Advisor. See the section of this Supplement titled “Selected Financial Data” for additional information concerning FFO and a reconciliation of FFO to our net income (loss) as determined on a GAAP basis.
● | REDEMPTIONS |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we received eligible redemption requests for approximately 0.1 million shares of our common stock, all of which we redeemed using cash flows from financing activities, for an aggregate amount of approximately $1.4 million, or an average price of $9.86 per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we received eligible redemption requests for 0.1 million shares of our common stock, all of which we redeemed using cash flows from financing activities, for an aggregate amount of approximately $1.0 million, or an average price of $9.99 per share.
11
● | SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA |
The following information supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the disclosure contained in the section titled “Selected Financial Data” beginning on page 207 of the Prospectus:
The following selected consolidated financial data should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, which is included in this Supplement.
12
(1) | The SEC declared our initial public offering effective on February 18, 2016. We broke escrow on November 30, 2016 and then adjusted our share class structure in July 2017. We commenced real estate operations on February 26, 2018 when we acquired our first property. On September 5, 2019, the SEC declared our follow-on offering effective and our initial public offering was terminated upon the effectiveness of the follow-on offering. We are early in the acquisition phase of our life cycle, and the results of our operations are primarily impacted by the timing of our acquisitions and the equity raised through this offering. Accordingly, our year-over-year financial data is not directly comparable. |
(2) | Gross cash distributions are total distributions before the deduction of distribution fees relating to Class T shares and Class W shares. |
(3) | Amounts reflect the quarterly distribution rate authorized by our board of directors per Class I share of common stock. Our board of directors authorized distributions at this same rate per Class T and Class W share of common stock less respective distribution fees that are payable monthly with respect to such Class T and Class W shares (as calculated on a daily basis). |
(4) | Refer to the section of this Supplement titled “Additional Performance Measures” for a definition of Company-defined FFO, as well as a detailed reconciliation of our net loss to Company-defined FFO. |
(5) | Included in our NAREIT adjustments is real estate-related depreciation and amortization. |
(6) | Included in our Company-defined adjustments are acquisition expense reimbursements, which reflect amounts reimbursable to the Advisor for all expenses incurred by the Advisor and its affiliates on our behalf in connection with the selection, acquisition, development or origination of an asset. |
Additional Performance Measures
We believe that FFO, Company-defined FFO, and MFFO, in addition to net income (loss) and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, are useful supplemental performance measures that our management uses to evaluate our consolidated operating performance. However, these supplemental, non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or to cash flows from operating activities as an indication of our performance and are not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. No single measure can provide users of financial information with sufficient information and only our disclosures read as a whole can be relied upon to adequately portray our financial position, liquidity, and results of operations. Fees deferred or waived by the Advisor and payments received from the Advisor and/or reimbursed to the Advisor pursuant to the expense support agreement are included in determining our net income (loss), which is used to determine FFO, Company-defined FFO, and MFFO. If we had not received support from the Advisor and/or reimbursed the Advisor pursuant to the expense support agreement, our FFO, Company-defined FFO, and MFFO would have been lower or higher. In addition, other REITs may define FFO and similar measures differently and choose to treat acquisition-related costs and potentially other accounting line items in a manner different from us due to specific differences in investment and operating strategy or for other reasons.
FFO. As defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), FFO is a non-GAAP measure that excludes certain items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization. We believe FFO is a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance that is useful to investors because depreciation and amortization in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. We use FFO as an indication of our consolidated operating performance and as a guide to making decisions about future investments.
Company-defined FFO. Similar to FFO, Company-defined FFO is a non-GAAP measure that excludes real estate-related depreciation and amortization and also excludes acquisition-related costs, which are characterized as expenses in determining net income (loss) under GAAP. The purchase of operating properties has been a key strategic objective of our business plan focused on generating growth in operating income and cash flow in order to make distributions to investors. However, the corresponding acquisition-related costs are driven by transactional activity rather than factors specific to the on-going operating performance of our properties or investments. Company-defined FFO may not be a complete indicator of our operating performance, and may not be a useful measure of the long-term operating performance of our properties if we do not continue to operate our business plan as disclosed.
MFFO. As defined by the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (“IPA”), MFFO is a non-GAAP supplemental financial performance measure used to evaluate our operating performance. Similar to FFO, MFFO excludes items such as real estate-related depreciation and
13
amortization. Similar to Company-defined FFO, MFFO excludes acquisition-related costs. MFFO also excludes straight-line rent and amortization of above- and below-market leases. In addition, there are certain other MFFO adjustments as defined by the IPA that are not applicable to us and are not included in our presentation of MFFO.
We are in the acquisition phase of our life cycle. Management does not include historical acquisition-related costs in its evaluation of future operating performance, as such costs are not expected to be incurred once our acquisition phase is complete. We use FFO, Company-defined FFO and MFFO to, among other things: (i) evaluate and compare the potential performance of the portfolio after the acquisition phase is complete, and (ii) evaluate potential performance to determine liquidity event strategies. Although some REITs may present similar measures differently from us, we believe FFO, Company-defined FFO and MFFO generally facilitate a comparison to other REITs that have similar operating characteristics to us. We believe investors are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analyses and evaluation with the same performance metrics used by management in planning and executing our business strategy. We believe that these performance metrics will assist investors in evaluating the potential performance of the portfolio after the completion of the acquisition phase. However, these supplemental, non-GAAP measures are not necessarily indicative of future performance and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or to cash flows from operating activities and is not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs. Neither the SEC, NAREIT, nor any regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments used to calculate FFO, Company-defined FFO and MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT, or a regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-traded REIT industry at which point we may adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO, Company-defined FFO and MFFO.

The following unaudited table presents a reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to NAREIT FFO, Company-defined FFO and MFFO:
● | FEES AND EXPENSES PAYABLE TO THE ADVISOR, THE DEALER MANAGER AND THEIR AFFILIATES |
1) The following data supplements, and should be read in conjunction with the tables in the section of the Prospectus titled “Prospectus Summary—Compensation to the Advisor and its Affiliates” and “Management Compensation” on pages 22 and 177 to 178, respectively, of the Prospectus:
15
The table below provides information regarding fees paid to the Dealer Manager, the Advisor, and their affiliates in connection with our operations and this offering. This table includes amounts incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, as well as amounts payable as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
(1) | We are reimbursing the Advisor for all organization and offering costs incurred on our behalf as of December 31, 2019 ratably over 60 months. Beginning January 1, 2020, we either pay directly or reimburse the Advisor for offering costs as and when incurred. |
(2) | The distribution fees accrue daily and are payable monthly in arrears. The monthly amount of distribution fees payable is included in distributions payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, we accrue for future estimated trailing amounts payable based on the shares outstanding as of the balance sheet date, which are included in distribution fees payable to affiliates on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Dealer Manager will reallow the distribution fees to participating broker dealers and broker dealers servicing accounts of investors who own Class T shares and/or Class W shares. |
(3) | Reflects amounts reimbursable to the Advisor for all expenses incurred by the Advisor and its affiliates on our behalf in connection with the selection, acquisition, development or origination of an asset. Beginning January 1, 2020, we either pay directly or reimburse the Advisor for such expenses. |
(4) | Other expense reimbursements include certain expenses incurred in connection with the services provided to us under the Advisory Agreement by and among us, the Operating Partnership, and the Advisor. These reimbursements include a portion of compensation expenses of individual employees of the Advisor, including certain of our named executive officers, related to services for which the Advisor does not otherwise receive a separate fee. A portion of the compensation received by certain employees of the Advisor and its affiliates may be in the form of a restricted stock grant awarded by us. We show these as reimbursements to the Advisor to the same extent that we recognize the related share-based compensation on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We reimbursed the Advisor approximately $1.4 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, for such compensation expenses. The remaining amount of other expense reimbursements relate to other general overhead and administrative expenses including, but not limited to, allocated rent paid to both third parties and affiliates of the Advisor, equipment, utilities, insurance, travel and entertainment. |
2) The following supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the tables at the end of each of the sections titled “Prospectus Summary—Compensation to the Advisor and its Affiliates—Expense Support Agreement” and “Management Compensation—Expense Support Agreement” on pages 25 and 180, respectively, of the Prospectus:
16
The table below provides information regarding the fees deferred and expense support provided by the Advisor, pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement. As of June 30, 2020, the aggregate amount paid by the Advisor pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement was $27.1 million. Of this amount, total reimbursements to the Advisor was $16.8 million and $10.3 million remains available to be reimbursed, subject to certain conditions.
(1) | As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, approximately $3.2 million and $5.4 million, respectively, was payable to the Advisor by us, and is included in due to affiliates on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. |

BLACK CREEK INDUSTRIAL REIT IV INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company” refers to Black Creek Industrial REIT IV Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain disclosures normally included in the annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) have been omitted. As such, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2020 (“2019 Form 10-K”).
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with GAAP.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-03, “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2020-03”), which updates various codification topics related to financial instruments by clarifying or improving the disclosure requirements to align with the SEC’s regulations. The Company adopted this standard immediately upon its issuance. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)” (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments only apply to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after March 12, 2020, with early adoption permitted, through December 31, 2022. The expedients and exceptions do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into after December 31, 2022. The Company adopted this standard immediately upon its issuance. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2020, the FASB issued a Staff Question-and-Answer to clarify whether lease concessions related to the effects of COVID-19 require the application of lease modification guidance under the new lease standard, which we adopted on January 1, 2019. The guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition
The Company must make estimates as to collectability of its accounts receivable related to rental income and straight-line rent. Management analyzes accounts receivable by considering customer creditworthiness, current economic trends, including the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 on customers’ businesses, and customers’ ability to make payments on time and in full when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2020, the impact of COVID-19 on customer collectability has been minimal and has not had a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2020 was approximately $34,000 and the Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2019.

5. DEBT
The Company’s indebtedness is currently comprised of borrowings under its term loan and mortgage notes. Borrowings under the non-recourse mortgage notes are secured by mortgages or deeds of trust and related assignments and security interests in collateralized and certain cross-collateralized properties, which are generally owned by single purpose entities. A summary of the Company’s debt is as follows:
(1) | The effective interest rate is calculated based on either: (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin ranging from 1.30% to 2.10%; or (ii) an alternative base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.30% to 1.10%, each depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. Customary fall-back provisions apply if LIBOR is unavailable. The line of credit is available for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, the acquisition and operation of permitted investments by the Company. As of June 30, 2020, total commitments for the line of credit were $315.0 million and the unused and available portions under the line of credit were both $314.9 million. |
10
(2) | The effective interest rate is calculated based on either (i) LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.05%; or (ii) an alternative base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.05%, depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The weighted-average effective interest rate is the all-in interest rate, including the effects of interest rate swap agreements. As of June 30, 2020, total commitments for the term loan were $415.0 million, and there were no unused nor available amounts. This term loan is available for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, the acquisition and operation of permitted investments by the Company. |
(3) | Interest rates range from 3.59% to 3.75%. The assets and credit of each of the Company’s properties pledged as collateral for the Company’s mortgage notes are not available to satisfy the Company’s other debt and obligations, unless the Company first satisfies the mortgage notes payable on the respective underlying properties. |
(4) | The weighted-average remaining term of the Company’s debt was approximately 3.8 years as of June 30, 2020, excluding any extension options on the line of credit. |
As of June 30, 2020, the principal payments due on the Company’s consolidated debt during each of the next five years and thereafter were as follows:
(1) | The line of credit matures in November 2023 and the term may be extended pursuant to a one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions. |
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) that regulates LIBOR announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”), which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative rate for LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. We are not able to predict when LIBOR will cease to be available or when there will be sufficient liquidity in the SOFR markets. Any changes adopted by the FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR. If that were to occur, our interest payment could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rate and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in the current form.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s line of credit and term loan are the only indebtedness with maturities beyond 2021 that have exposure to LIBOR. The agreement governing the term loan provides procedures for determining a replacement or alternative base rate in the event that LIBOR is discontinued. However, there can be no assurances as to whether such replacement or alternative base rate will be more or less favorable than LIBOR. As of June 30, 2020, we have interest rate swaps in place to hedge LIBOR on $350.0 million of commitments under our term loan. We intend to monitor the developments with respect to the potential phasing out of LIBOR after 2021 and work with our lenders to seek to ensure any transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on our financial condition, but can provide no assurances regarding the impact of the discontinuation of LIBOR.
Debt Covenants
The Company’s line of credit, term loan and mortgage note agreements contain various property-level covenants, including customary affirmative and negative covenants. In addition, the line of credit and term loan agreements contain certain corporate level financial covenants, including leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, and tangible net worth thresholds. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2020.
11
Derivative Instruments
To manage interest rate risk for certain of its variable-rate debt, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its risk management strategy. These derivatives are designed to mitigate the risk of future interest rate increases by providing a fixed interest rate for a limited, pre-determined period of time. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the interest rate swap agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Certain of the Company’s variable-rate borrowings are not hedged, and therefore, to an extent, the Company has on-going exposure to interest rate movements.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and is reclassified into earnings as interest expense for the same period that the hedged transaction affects earnings, which is when the interest expense is recognized on the related debt. The gain or loss on the derivative instrument is presented in the same line item on the condensed consolidated statement of operations as the earnings effect of the hedged item.
During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that approximately $3.5 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense related to active effective hedges of existing floating-rate debt.
The following table summarizes the location and fair value of the cash flow hedges on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
The following table presents the effect of the Company’s cash flow hedges on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. There were no cash flow hedges in place as of June 30, 2019.
6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments using available market information and valuation methodologies it believes to be appropriate for these purposes. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates and, accordingly, they are not necessarily indicative of amounts that the Company would realize upon disposition of its financial instruments.
12
Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis
The following table presents the Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:
Derivative Instruments. The derivative instruments are interest rate swaps. The interest rate swaps are standard cash flow hedges whose fair value is estimated using market-standard valuation models. Such models involve using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements, which we have concluded are not material to the valuation. Due to the interest rate swaps being unique and not actively traded, the fair value is classified as Level 2. See “Note 5” above for further discussion of the Company’s derivative instruments.
Nonrecurring Fair Value of Financial Measurements
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant receivables, prepaid expenses, other assets, due from/to affiliates, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and distributions payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The table below includes fair values for certain of the Company’s financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The carrying values and fair values of these financial instruments were as follows:
(1) | The carrying value reflects the principal amount outstanding. |

7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Public Offerings
On September 5, 2019, the Company’s initial public offering was terminated immediately upon effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement for its follow-on public offering of up to $2.0 billion of shares of its common stock, and the follow-on public offering commenced the same day. Under the follow-on public offering, the Company is offering up to $1.5 billion of shares of its common stock in the primary offering and up to $500.0 million of shares of its common stock pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan, in any combination of Class T shares, Class W shares and Class I shares. The Company may reallocate amounts between the primary offering and distribution reinvestment plan. The Company’s follow-on public offering is a continuous offering that will end no later than September 5, 2021, unless extended in accordance with federal and state securities laws.
Pursuant to its public offerings, the Company offered and continues to offer shares of its common stock at the “transaction price,” plus applicable selling commissions and dealer manager fees. The “transaction price” generally is equal to the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Company’s common stock most recently disclosed. The Company’s NAV per share is calculated as of the last calendar day of each month for each of its outstanding classes of stock, and will be available generally within 15 calendar days after the end of the applicable month. Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan are offered at the transaction price, as indicated above, in effect on the distribution date. The Company may update a previously disclosed transaction price in cases where the Company believes there has been a material change (positive or negative) to its NAV per share relative to the most recently disclosed monthly NAV per share.
Summary of the Public Offerings
A summary of the Company’s public offerings, including shares sold through the primary offering and the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”), as of June 30, 2020, is as follows:

10. SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Significant Risks and Uncertainties
Currently, one of the most significant risks and uncertainties is the adverse effect of the current pandemic of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The extent of the impact from COVID-19 on the commercial real estate sector continues to vary dramatically across real estate property types and markets, with certain property segments such as hospitality, transportation, gaming, shopping malls, senior housing, and student living being impacted particularly hard. While not immune to the effects of COVID-19, the industrial property sector in which the Company invests continues to remain relatively resilient; however, the Company has had customers request rent deferral or rent abatement during this pandemic. The outbreak has triggered a period of global economic slowdown and could trigger a global recession.
The COVID-19 pandemic could have material and adverse effects on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in the near term due to, but not limited to, the following:
● | reduced economic activity severely impacts the Company’s customers’ businesses, financial condition and liquidity and may cause customers to be unable to fully meet their obligations to the Company or to otherwise seek modifications of such obligations, resulting in increases in uncollectible receivables and reductions in rental income; |
● | the negative financial impact of the pandemic could impact the Company’s future compliance with financial covenants of the Company’s credit facility and other debt agreements; and |
● | weaker economic conditions could cause the Company to recognize impairment in value of its tangible or intangible assets. |
While COVID-19 has not had a material effect on the Company as of the date of this report, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s operations and those of the Company’s customers will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others.
11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company and the Operating Partnership are not presently involved in any material litigation nor, to the Company’s knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries.
Environmental Matters
A majority of the properties the Company acquires have been or will be subject to environmental reviews either by the Company or the previous owners. In addition, the Company may incur environmental remediation costs associated with certain land parcels it may acquire in connection with the development of land. The Company has or may acquire certain properties in urban and industrial areas that may have been leased to or previously owned by commercial and industrial companies that discharged hazardous material. The Company may purchase various environmental insurance policies to mitigate its exposure to environmental liabilities. The Company is not aware of any environmental liabilities that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, or results of operations as of June 30, 2020.

As of August 5, 2020, the Company had raised gross proceeds of $1.3 billion from the sale of 124.7 million shares of its common stock in its public offerings, including $28.2 million from the sale of 2.8 million shares of its common stock through its distribution reinvestment plan. As of August 5, 2020, approximately $1.2 billion in shares of the Company’s common stock remained available for sale pursuant to its follow-on public offering in any combination of Class T shares, Class W shares or Class I shares, including approximately $480.1 million in shares of common stock available for sale through its distribution reinvestment plan, which may be reallocated for sale in the Company’s primary offering.
Acquisitions Under Contract
The Company has entered into contracts to acquire properties with an aggregate contract purchase price of approximately $69.2 million, comprised of four industrial buildings. There can be no assurance that the Company will complete the acquisition of the properties under contract.

Interests Purchase
On July 15, 2020, the Company entered into an Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Industrial Property Operating Partnership LP, the operating partnership of Industrial Property Trust (“IPT”), in order to acquire interests in two portfolios aggregating 83 industrial properties, which properties are described below. The interest purchase closed upon signing.
The Agreement conveys all of the ownership interests (the “Interests) in IPT Real Estate Holdco LLC (“IPT Holdco”), which in turn owns all the interests in: (i) IPT BTC I LP LLC (the “BTC I LP”), the owner of a 19.9% limited partner interest in Build-To-Core Industrial Partnership I LP (“BTC I”); (ii) IPT BTC I GP LLC (the “BTC I GP”), the owner of a 0.1% general partner interest in BTC I; (iii) IPT BTC II LP LLC (the “BTC II LP”), the owner of a 7.9% limited partner interest in Build-To-Core Industrial Partnership II LP (“BTC II”); and (iv) IPT BTC II GP LLC (the “BTC II GP”), the owner of a 0.1% general partner interest in BTC II. The purchase price for the Interests was $301 million in cash paid at closing, exclusive of due diligence expenses and other closing costs. The Company funded the acquisition of the Interests using proceeds from the Company’s public offering.
The external advisor to IPT is an affiliate of the Company’s external advisor, BCI IV Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”). The Company and IPT also have certain common officers. Certain officers of IPT and certain trustees of the IPT board of trustees (the “IPT Board”) are also stockholders of the Company. The Company and IPT are also sponsored by affiliates of Black Creek Group, LLC, and such sponsors hold partnership units in the operating partnerships of the Company and IPT, respectively. In addition, certain trustees of IPT are also members of the Company’s board of directors. The IPT Board and the Company’s board of directors each established a special committee of independent trustees or directors, as applicable, to review and approve the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the sale of the Interests. The members of the IPT special committee did not overlap with members of the Company’s special committee, and none of the members of the Company’s special committee are trustees of IPT. All of the members of the Company’s special committee were disinterested in the Agreement, including the sale of the Interests. Each of the special committees engaged legal counsel and an independent financial advisor to assist the special committees in their evaluation and negotiation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement. CBRE Capital Advisors, Inc., the independent financial advisor to the IPT special committee, delivered a fairness opinion to the IPT special committee. Duff & Phelps, the independent financial advisor to the Company special committee, delivered a fairness opinion to the Company special committee. The Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the sale of the Interests, were approved by the special committees of each of the Company and IPT.
The BTC Portfolio
BTC I and BTC II together own a portfolio (the “BTC Portfolio”) consisting of 64 acquired or completed industrial buildings totaling approximately 16.6 million square feet on approximately 504 acres located in 16 markets throughout the U.S., with 92 customers, which is 79.2% leased with a weighted-average remaining lease term (based on square feet) of approximately 4.8 years as of July 15, 2020; 10 buildings under construction totaling 2.9 million square feet; eight buildings in the pre-construction phase for an additional 2.5 million square feet; and one land parcel. More specifically, as of July 15, 2020:
● | BTC I owned a real estate portfolio that consisted of 41 acquired or completed buildings totaling approximately 11.5 million square feet that were approximately 87.8% leased; three buildings under construction totaling 0.6 million square feet; two buildings in the pre-construction phase for an additional 0.4 million square feet; and one land parcel. |
● | BTC II owned a real estate portfolio that consisted of 23 acquired or completed buildings totaling approximately 5.1 million square feet that were approximately 59.5% leased; seven buildings under construction totaling 2.3 million square feet; and six buildings in the pre-construction phase for an additional 2.1 million square feet. |
There were no customers that individually lease more than 10% of the total rentable area of the BTC Portfolio as of July 15, 2020.
Related-Party Agreements
Amendment to Advisory Agreement
On July 15, 2020, in connection with the acquisition of the Interests, the Company, BCI IV Operating Partnership LP (the Company’s operating partnership, referred to as the “Operating Partnership”) and the Advisor entered into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (2020), dated as of June 12, 2020. Amendment No. 1 provides that the Advisor shall receive a development fee in connection with providing services related to the development, construction, improvement or stabilization, including tenant improvements, of development properties or overseeing the provision of these services by third parties on behalf of the Company. The fee will be an amount that will be equal to 4.0% of total project cost of the development property (or the Company’s proportional interest therein with respect to real property held in joint ventures or other entities that are co-owned). If the Advisor engages a third party to provide development services, the third party will be compensated directly by the Company, and the Advisor will receive the development fee if it provides development oversight services.
BTC I Services Agreement and Incentive Distributions Sharing
20
Pursuant to the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of BTC I, as amended (the “BTC I Partnership Agreement”), the BTC I GP will provide, directly or indirectly by appointing an affiliate or a third party, acquisition and asset management services and, to the extent applicable, development management and development oversight services (the “BTC I Advisory Services”). As compensation for providing the BTC I Advisory Services, the BTC I Partnership will pay the BTC I GP, or its designee, certain fees in accordance with the terms of the BTC I Partnership Agreement. On February 12, 2015, the BTC I GP and Industrial Property Advisors LLC, the external Advisor to IPT (the “IPT Advisor”) and an entity owned by affiliates of the Advisor, entered into an agreement that Industrial Property Advisors LLC subsequently assigned to Industrial Property Advisors Sub I LLC (the “BTC I SLP”), an entity owned by affiliates of the Advisor. Pursuant to this agreement (the “BTC I Services Agreement”), the BTC I GP appointed the BTC I SLP to provide the BTC I Advisory Services and has assigned to the BTC I SLP the fees payable pursuant to the BTC I Partnership Agreement for providing the BTC I Advisory Services. As a result of the payment of the fees pursuant to the BTC I Services Agreement, the fees payable to the Advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement will be reduced by the product of (i) the fees actually paid to the BTC I SLP pursuant to the BTC I Services Agreement, and (ii) the percentage interest of the BTC I Partnership owned by the BTC I GP and the BTC I LP.
In connection with the sale of the Interests pursuant to the Agreement, the parties to the BTC I Services Agreement amended such agreement to make certain conforming changes to reflect the new indirect ownership structure of BTC I as a result of the sale of the Interests.
In addition, the BTC I Partnership Agreement contains procedures for making distributions to the parties, including incentive distributions to BTC I GP and the BTC I SLP, which are subject to certain return thresholds being achieved. BTC I GP and the BTC I SLP have agreed to split such incentive distributions such that BTC I SLP will receive 60% of the incentive distributions attributable to interests in BTC I which are not owned by the BTC I GP or BTC I LP.
The BTC I SLP has also entered into an agreement with the BTC I GP and the BTC I LP, dated September 15, 2016, providing that if the BTC I GP and the BTC I LP propose to transfer all (but not less than all) of their respective interests to an unrelated third party, then they can require the BTC I SLP to transfer its special limited partnership interest to the purchaser on the same terms and conditions.
BTC II Services Agreement and Incentive Distributions Sharing
Pursuant to the Agreement of Limited Partnership of BTC II, as amended (the “BTC II Partnership Agreement”), the BTC II GP will provide, directly or indirectly by appointing an affiliate or a third party, acquisition and asset management services and, to the extent applicable, development management and development oversight services (the “BTC II Advisory Services”). As compensation for providing the BTC II Advisory Services, the BTC II Partnership will pay the BTC II GP, or its designee, certain fees in accordance with the terms of the BTC II Partnership Agreement. On May 19, 2017, the BTC II GP and Industrial Property Advisors Sub III LLC (the “BTC II Service Provider”), an entity owned by affiliates of the Advisor, entered into that certain agreement (the “BTC II Services Agreement”), pursuant to which the BTC II GP appointed the BTC II Service Provider to provide the BTC II Advisory Services and has assigned to the BTC II Service Provider the fees payable pursuant to the BTC II Partnership Agreement for providing the BTC II Advisory Services. As a result of the payment of the fees pursuant to the BTC II Services Agreement, the fees payable to the Advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement will be reduced by the product of (i) the fees actually paid to the BTC II Service Provider pursuant to the BTC II Services Agreement, and (ii) the percentage interest of the BTC II Partnership owned by the BTC II GP and the BTC II LP.
In connection with the sale of the Interests pursuant to the Agreement, the parties to the BTC II Services Agreement amended such agreement to make certain conforming changes to reflect the new indirect ownership structure of BTC II as a result of the sale of the Interests.
In addition, the BTC II Partnership Agreement contains procedures for making distributions to the parties, including incentive distributions to BTC II GP and Industrial Property Advisors Sub IV LLC (the “BTC II SLP”), an entity owned by affiliates of the Advisor, which are subject to certain return thresholds being achieved. BTC II GP and the BTC II SLP have agreed to split such incentive distributions such that BTC II SLP will receive 80% of the incentive distributions attributable to interests in BTC II which are not owned by the BTC II GP or BTC II LP.
BTC I Partnership Agreement
The BTC I Partnership Agreement is by and among: (a) the BTC I GP; (b) the BTC I LP; (c) the BTC I SLP; (d) bcIMC (WCBAF) Realpool Global Investment Corporation, a Canadian corporation, as a limited partner (“BCIMC WCBAF”); (e) bcIMC (College) US Realty Inc., a Canadian corporation, as a limited partner (“BCIMC College”); (f) bcIMC (Municipal) US Realty Inc., a Canadian corporation, as a limited partner (“BCIMC Municipal”); (g) bcIMC (Public Service) US Realty Inc., a Canadian corporation, as a limited partner (“BCIMC Public Service”); (h) bcIMC (Teachers) US Realty Inc., a Canadian corporation, as a limited partner (“BCIMC Teachers”); (i) bcIMC (WCB) US Realty Inc., a Canadian corporation, as a limited partner (“BCIMC WCB”); and (j) bcIMC (Hydro) US Realty Inc., a Canadian corporation, as a limited partner (“BCIMC Hydro” and, together with BCIMC WCBAF,
21
BCIMC College, BCIMC Municipal, BCIMC Public Service, BCIMC Teachers and BCIMC WCB, collectively, the “BCIMC Limited Partner”).
The BTC I Partnership Agreement sets forth certain rights and obligations among the Partners, including the following key provisions:
Investments
The BTC I portfolio is summarized above. Approximately 89% of the capital commitments of BTC I have already been called and invested and the identification period for new investments has expired. The remaining 11% of capital commitments can be called to finalize development projects that are underway if existing sources of liquidity, including cash flow from operations or additional debt capacity, are not sufficient.
Management
The BTC I GP manages the day-to-day operations of BTC I, subject to the rights of the BCIMC Limited Partner to approve certain major decisions, including, but not limited to: the acquisition and sale of investments; the creation or assumption of debt financing; entering into or terminating certain material agreements; settling material litigation; materially changing the tax or legal structure of BTC I; entering into certain affiliate transactions; waiver of certain material rights; winding up, dissolution or liquidation of BTC I; and any merger or consolidation of BTC I.
As compensation for the BTC I GP providing acquisition and asset management services and, to the extent applicable, development management and development oversight services or acting as the sole guarantor of indebtedness of BTC I, BTC I will pay the BTC I GP, or its designee, certain fees in accordance with the terms of the BTC I Partnership Agreement. As described above, pursuant to the BTC I Services Agreement the BTC I GP appointed the BTC I SLP to provide the BTC I Advisory Services and has assigned to the BTC I SLP the fees payable pursuant to the BTC I Partnership Agreement for providing the BTC I Advisory Services. As a result of the payment of the fees pursuant to the BTC I Services Agreement, the fees payable to the Advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement will be reduced by the product of (i) the fees actually paid to the BTC I SLP pursuant to the BTC I Services Agreement, and (ii) the percentage interest of the BTC I Partnership owned by the BTC I GP and the BTC I LP. Thus, the Company is not affected by these fees either positively or negatively.
The BTC I GP is required to have the properties in the BTC I portfolio appraised by an independent appraiser within the calendar year following acquisition with respect to core investments and within the calendar year following the date of stabilization (as defined in the BTC I Partnership Agreement) with respect to development and value-add investments. Thereafter, the BTC I GP is required to have such investments appraised by an independent appraiser annually.
Distributions
The BTC I Partnership Agreement contains procedures for making distributions to the parties, including incentive distributions to the BTC I GP, which are subject to certain return thresholds being achieved.
Term
The term of BTC I shall continue until February 12, 2025 or such other date approved by the BTC I GP, the BTC I LP and the BCIMC Limited Partner. Upon expiration of the term, BTC I shall be dissolved and wound up unless otherwise approved by unanimous written consent of the partners.
Removal of General Partner; Transfer of Interests; Buy-Sell Rights
The BTC I GP may be removed for “cause,” as defined in the BTC I Partnership Agreement, which includes, but is not limited to: (i) the commission by the BTC I GP of an uncured material breach, a willful bad act, or gross negligence which has a material adverse effect on the BTC I Partnership; (ii) an unpermitted change in control of the Company; or (iii) the bankruptcy of the BTC I GP. If the BCIMC Limited Partner requests the removal of the General Partner, the removal determination will be made by binding arbitration. If the arbitration results in a determination to remove the BTC I GP, then the BCIMC Limited Partner will appoint a replacement general partner from a previously approved list of third-party real estate and investment management companies. The commencement of an arbitration proceeding to remove the General Partner will result in the BCIMC Limited Partner having the right to trigger the “buy-sell mechanism” described below with respect to the BTC I Partnership’s entire investment portfolio.
Each of the BTC I LP and the BCIMC Limited Partner will not be permitted to transfer their respective interests in BTC I to a third party until the date on which 85% of the rentable space of BTC I’s last acquired development investment has been leased to tenants under leases for which the lease commencement date has occurred and such tenants have taken occupancy of their premises and have commenced base rent payments (the “Trigger Date”), at which time each of the BTC I LP and the BCIMC Limited Partner will be permitted to transfer all (but not less than all) of their respective interests, subject to certain limitations and requirements (including, with respect to a transfer of the BTC I LP’s interest in BTC I to a transferee, the requirement that there be a concurrent transfer by the
22
BTC I GP of its interest in BTC I to such transferee, which transfer shall be subject to the limitations set forth in the immediately succeeding sentence). Following the Trigger Date, the BTC I GP also will be permitted to transfer its interest in BTC I to a third party institutional transferee meeting certain conditions set forth in the BTC I Partnership Agreement, subject to the approval of the BCIMC Limited Partner. Each partner may transfer its respective interest to an affiliate of such partner at any time, subject to certain limitations. With respect to a transfer to a third party, any non-transferring partner will have a right of first offer with respect to the transferring partner’s interest, as well as customary tag-along rights.
At any time after the Trigger Date, the BTC I LP or the BCIMC Limited Partner will have the right to trigger a buy-sell mechanism. For purposes of the buy-sell mechanism, the BTC I LP and the BTC I GP will be deemed a single party. Upon delivery of a buy-sell notice, the buy-sell mechanism shall commence by any party offering to purchase the entire interest of the other party and the offeree must either sell its interest at the offered price or elect to buy the interest of the offering partner at the offered price. The BTC I LP and the BTC I GP will have a one-time right to delay any liquidation of the portfolio and the buy-sell process for up to 90 days (which in certain events may be extended to not more than six months in aggregate) if the Company is pursuing a transaction by which its common shares would become listed on a national securities exchange.
Not more than 12 months prior to the expiration of the Term, each of the BTC I LP and the BCIMC Limited Partner will have the right to cause a forced sale of the investment portfolio and other assets of BTC I for a proposed portfolio price, subject to a right of first offer in favor of the non-initiating partners to acquire the entire interest of the initiating partner for a price determined in accordance with the terms of the BTC I Partnership Agreement (the “ROFO Price”). In the event the non-initiating partners decline to purchase the interest of the initiating Partner for the ROFO Price, the initiating partner will have the right to market the portfolio to a third party at a price not less than 98% of the initiating partner’s original proposed portfolio price. The initiating partner may thereafter elect to present a forced sale of the portfolio for a price less than 98% of the initiating partner’s original proposed portfolio price, subject to a right of first refusal in favor of the non-initiating partners.
Dissolution and Liquidation
BTC I shall be dissolved on the first to occur of the following: bankruptcy of BTC I, withdrawal of the BTC I GP, sale of all or substantially all of the property of BTC I, at the time there is no limited partner, or the expiration of the Term. Upon dissolution of BTC I, the assets shall be liquidated and distributed in the following order of priority: payment of the expenses of the liquidation, satisfaction of BTC I debt and all other liabilities to creditors other than partners who are creditors, the satisfaction of any liabilities to partners who are creditors, and to the partners.
Dispute Resolution
In the event of (i) a dispute as to “cause” (as described above) or (ii) a deadlock event prior to the Trigger Date, each of the BTC I LP and the BCIMC Limited Partner may deliver a written arbitration notice to the other Partners and initiate a final and binding arbitration procedure as described in the BTC I Partnership Agreement
Articles of Amendment
On August 4, 2020, the Company filed Articles of Amendment (the "Charter Amendment”) to its Third Articles of Amendment and Restatement (the “Charter”) with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation. The Charter Amendment revised Section 12.2 of Article XII of the Charter, which sets forth the voting rights of stockholders. This amendment removed language that certain state securities administrators believe could be used to dilute common stockholder voting rights, in the event that the Company has classes or series of stock in the future with special voting rights. As the Company does not have any classes or series of stock with special voting rights, such as preferred stock, the Company does not expect this amendment to have a meaningful impact on the Company or its stockholders.

COVID-19
The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business, including how it will impact its customers and business partners. While the Company did not incur significant disruptions during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is unable to predict the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties and the impact could be material.
The Company has continued to receive certain rent relief requests in July and August 2020, most often in the form of rent deferral requests, as a result of COVID-19. The Company is evaluating each customer relief request on an individual basis, considering a number of factors. Where appropriate, the Company has restructured leases and may restructure additional leases to provide temporary rent relief needed by certain customers while positioning itself to recapture abated rent over time; however, rent relief requests have remained steady and have not had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2020. Not all customer requests will ultimately result in modification of lease agreements, nor is the Company forgoing its contractual rights under its lease agreements. The Company can provide no assurances that it will be able to recover unpaid rent.

OVERVIEW
General
Black Creek Industrial REIT IV Inc. is a Maryland corporation formed on August 12, 2014 to make investments in income-producing real estate assets consisting primarily of high-quality distribution warehouses and other industrial properties that are leased to creditworthy corporate customers. We currently operate as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and elected to be treated as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2017. We utilize an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust (“UPREIT”) organizational structure to hold all or substantially all of our assets through the Operating Partnership.
On September 5, 2019, our initial public offering was terminated immediately upon the effectiveness of our registration statement for our follow-on public offering of up to $2.0 billion of shares of our common stock, and the follow-on public offering commenced the same day. Under the follow-on public offering, we are offering up to $1.5 billion of shares of our common stock in our primary offering and up to $500.0 million of shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, in any combination of Class T shares, Class W shares and Class I shares. We may reallocate amounts between the primary offering and distribution reinvestment plan. Our follow-on public offering is a continuous offering that will end no later than September 5, 2021, unless extended in accordance with federal securities laws.
Pursuant to our public offerings, we offered and continue to offer shares of our common stock at the “transaction price,” plus applicable selling commissions and dealer manager fees. The “transaction price” generally is equal to the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of our common stock most recently disclosed. Our NAV per share is calculated as of the last calendar day of each month for each of our outstanding classes of common stock, and is available generally within 15 calendar days after the end of the applicable month. Shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan are offered at the transaction price, as indicated above, in effect on the distribution date. We may update a previously disclosed transaction price in cases where we believe there has been a material change (positive or negative) to our NAV per share relative to the most recently disclosed monthly NAV per share. See “Net Asset Value” below for further detail.
As of June 30, 2020, we had raised gross proceeds of approximately $1.2 billion from the sale of 118.6 million shares of our common stock and the issuance of notes payable in our public offerings, including shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. See “Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for information concerning our public offerings.
As of June 30, 2020, we owned and managed a real estate portfolio that included 55 industrial buildings totaling approximately 11.6 million square feet located in 18 markets throughout the U.S., with 103 customers, and was 97.1% leased and occupied with a weighted-average remaining lease term (based on square feet) of 4.8 years. The occupied rate reflects the square footage with a paying customer in place. The leased rate includes the occupied square footage and additional square footage with leases in place that have not yet commenced.
We have used, and intend to continue to use, the net proceeds from our offerings primarily to make investments in real estate assets. We may use the net proceeds from our offerings to make other real estate-related investments and debt investments and to pay distributions. The number and type of properties we may acquire and debt and other investments we may make will depend upon real estate market conditions, the amount of proceeds we raise in our offerings, and other circumstances existing at the time we make our investments.
Our primary investment objectives include the following:
There is no assurance that we will attain our investment objectives. Our charter places numerous limitations on us with respect to the manner in which we may invest our funds. In most cases these limitations cannot be changed unless our charter is amended, which may require the approval of our stockholders.
We may acquire assets free and clear of mortgage or other indebtedness by paying the entire purchase price in cash or equity securities, or a combination thereof, and we may selectively encumber all or only certain assets with debt. The proceeds from our borrowings may be used to fund investments, make capital expenditures, pay distributions, and for general corporate purposes.
We expect to execute our corporate financing strategy by considering various lending sources, which may include long-term fixed-rate mortgage loans, unsecured or secured lines of credit or term loans, private placement or public bond issuances, and the assumption of existing loans in connection with certain property acquisitions, or any combination of the foregoing.
Net Asset Value
Our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, has adopted valuation procedures, as amended from time to time, that contain a comprehensive set of methodologies to be used in connection with the calculation of our NAV. See our valuation procedures, incorporated by reference as Exhibit 99.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for a more detailed description of our valuation procedures, including important disclosures regarding real property valuations provided by Altus Group U.S. Inc. (the “Independent Valuation Advisor”). All parties engaged by us in the calculation of our NAV, including the Advisor, are subject to the oversight of our board of directors. Generally, all of our real properties are appraised once each calendar year by third party appraisal firms in accordance with our valuation procedures and such appraisals are reviewed by the Independent Valuation Advisor. As used below, “Fund Interests” means our outstanding shares of common stock, along with the partnership units in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) held directly or indirectly by the Sponsor, and “Aggregate Fund NAV” means the NAV of all of the Fund Interests.
Our valuation procedures, which address specifically each category of our assets and liabilities and are applied separately to the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, involve adjustments from historical cost. There are certain factors which cause NAV to be different from net book value on a GAAP basis. Most significantly, the valuation of our real estate assets, which is the largest component of our NAV calculation, is provided to us by the Independent Valuation Advisor on a monthly basis. For GAAP purposes, these assets are generally recorded at depreciated or amortized cost. Other examples that will cause our NAV to differ from our GAAP net book value include the straight-lining of rent, which results in a receivable for GAAP purposes that is not included in the determination of our NAV. Third party appraisers may value our individual real estate assets using appraisal standards that deviate from fair value standards under GAAP. The use of such appraisal standards may cause our NAV to deviate from GAAP fair value principles. We did not develop our valuation procedures with the intention of complying with fair value concepts under GAAP and, therefore, there could be differences between our fair values and the fair values derived from the principal market or most advantageous market concepts of establishing fair value under GAAP.
The following table sets forth the components of Aggregate Fund NAV as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:
27
The following table sets forth the NAV per Fund Interest as of June 30, 2020:
Under GAAP, we record liabilities for ongoing distribution fees that (i) we currently owe under the terms of the dealer manager agreement and (ii) we estimate we may pay to the Dealer Manager in future periods for shares of our common stock. As of June 30, 2020, we estimated approximately $42.3 million of ongoing distribution fees were potentially payable to the Dealer Manager. We intend for our NAV to reflect our estimated value on the date that we determine our NAV. As such, we do not deduct the liability for estimated future distribution fees in our calculation of NAV that may become payable after the date as of which our NAV is calculated.
The valuations of our real property as of June 30, 2020 were provided by the Independent Valuation Advisor in accordance with our valuation procedures. Certain key assumptions that were used by the Independent Valuation Advisor in the discounted cash flow analysis are set forth in the following table:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Weighted-Average Basis |
|
Exit capitalization rate |
|
5.4 |
% |
Discount rate / internal rate of return |
|
6.4 |
% |
Holding period of real properties (years) |
|
10.0 |
|
A change in the rates used would impact the calculation of the value of our real properties. For example, assuming all other factors remain constant, the hypothetical changes listed below would result in the following effects on the value of our real properties:
From November 1, 2017 through January 31, 2020, we valued our debt-related investments and real estate-related liabilities generally in accordance with fair value standards under GAAP. Beginning with our valuation for February 29, 2020, our property-level mortgages and our corporate-level credit facilities that are intended to be held to maturity, including those subject to interest rate hedges, were valued at par (i.e. at their respective outstanding balances). In addition, because we utilize interest rate hedges to stabilize interest payments (i.e. to fix all-in interest rates through interest rate swaps or to limit interest rate exposure through interest rate caps) on individual loans, each loan and associated interest rate hedge is treated as one financial instrument which is valued at par if intended to be held to maturity. This policy of valuing at par applies regardless of whether any given interest rate hedge is considered as an asset or liability for GAAP purposes. We currently estimate the fair value of our debt (inclusive of associated interest rate hedges) that was intended to be held to maturity as of June 30, 2020 was $5.3 million higher than par for such debt in aggregate, meaning that if we used the fair value of our debt rather than par (and treated the associated hedge as part of the same financial instrument), our NAV would be lower by approximately $5.3 million, or $0.05 per share, as of June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, we classified all of our debt as intended to be held to maturity. See “Performance” below for further information concerning the impact of interest rate movements on our share returns assuming we continue to include the mark-to-market adjustments for all borrowing-related interest rate hedge and debt instruments.

Performance
Our NAV decreased from $10.0763 per share as of December 31, 2019 to $10.0591 per share as of June 30, 2020. The decrease in NAV was primarily driven by the repayment of organization and offering costs that were previously funded on behalf of the Company by the Advisor, partially offset by the performance of our real estate portfolio in the second quarter, which includes the performance of eight operating properties acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2020, for an aggregate purchase price of $277.0 million. Additionally, in light of current economic conditions, the Independent Valuation Advisor recently made certain COVID-19 related adjustments to the cash flows used to determine our real estate valuations, which ultimately drive our NAV. The adjustments primarily relate to increased credit loss reserves in light of potential business disruptions caused by COVID-19. We believe these adjustments reflect the current risk to our portfolio as a result of COVID-19, and the Independent Valuation Advisor will continue to update these assumptions as events unfold.
As noted above, effective February 29, 2020, our board of directors approved amendments to our valuation procedures which revised the way we value property-level mortgages, corporate-level credit facilities and associated interest rate hedges when loans, including associated interest rate hedges, are intended to be held to maturity, effectively eliminating all mark-to-market adjustments for such loans and hedges from the calculation of our NAV. The following table summarizes the impact of interest rate movements on our Class I share return assuming we continued to include the mark-to-market adjustments for all borrowing-related interest rate hedge and debt instruments beginning with the February 29, 2020 NAV:
(1) | Performance is measured by total return, which includes income and appreciation (i.e., distributions and changes in NAV) and reinvestment of all distributions (“Total Return”) for the respective time period. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Performance data quoted above is historical. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Actual individual stockholder returns will vary. The returns have been prepared using unaudited data and valuations of the underlying investments in our portfolio, which are estimates of fair value and form the basis for our NAV. Valuations based upon unaudited or estimated reports from the underlying investments may be subject to later adjustments or revisions, may not correspond to realized value and may not accurately reflect the price at which assets could be liquidated on any given day. |
29
(2) | The inception date for Class I shares and Class T shares was November 1, 2017, which is when shares of our common stock were first issued to third-party investors in our initial public offering. The inception date for Class W shares was July 2, 2018, which is when Class W shares of common stock were first issued to third-party investors. |
(3) | The Total Returns presented are based on the actual NAVs at which stockholders transacted, calculated pursuant to our valuation procedures. With respect to the “Class T Share Total Return (with Sales Charge),” the Total Returns are calculated assuming the stockholder also paid the maximum upfront selling commission, dealer manager fee and ongoing distribution fees in effect during the time period indicated. With respect to “Class T Share Total Return (without Sales Charge),” the Total Returns are calculated assuming the stockholder did not pay any upfront selling commission or dealer manager fee, but did pay the maximum ongoing distribution fees in effect during the time period indicated. From NAV inception to January 31, 2020, these NAVs reflected mark-to-market adjustments on our borrowing-related debt instruments and our borrowing-related interest rate hedge positions. |
(4) | The Adjusted Total Returns presented are based on adjusted NAVs calculated as if we had continued to mark our borrowing-related hedge and debt instruments to market following a policy change to largely exclude borrowing-related interest rate hedge and debt marks to market from our NAV calculations (except in certain circumstances pursuant to our valuation procedures), beginning with our NAV calculated as of February 29, 2020. Therefore, the NAVs used in the calculation of Adjusted Total Returns were calculated in the same manner as the NAVs used in the calculation of the unadjusted total return for periods through January 31, 2020. The Adjusted Total Returns include the incremental impact of the adjusted NAVs on advisory fees and performance fees; however, they do not include the incremental impact that the adjusted NAVs would have had on any expense support from our Advisor, or the prices at which shares were purchased in our public offering or pursuant to our share redemption program. For calculation purposes, transactions in our common stock were assumed to occur at the adjusted NAVs. |
Impacts of COVID-19
The global pandemic and resulting shut down of large parts of the U.S. economy has created significant uncertainty and enhanced investment risk across many asset classes, including real estate. The extent of the impact on the commercial real estate sector continues to vary dramatically across real estate property types and markets, with certain property segments affected particularly harshly. While not immune to the effects of COVID-19, the industrial property sector continues to remain relatively resilient and we believe we are well-positioned to navigate this unprecedented period. From December 31, 2019 and through August 5, 2020, we raised over $788.8 million in equity capital. We believe that the increased pace at which we raised capital in early 2020 was primarily due to an influx of capital from IPT shareholders who determined to invest in our common shares following the completion of IPT’s asset sale in January 2020. As a result, our balance sheet as of June 30, 2020 was strong with over $400.0 million of cash and less than 30% leverage, calculated as our total borrowings outstanding divided by the fair value of our real property plus cash and cash equivalents. We have continued to see steady capital inflows from new investors who invested $189.0 million of new capital into the Company during the second quarter. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Resources and Uses of Liquidity—Offering Proceeds” for further information concerning capital raised thus far in 2020 and our expectations regarding the pace of capital raising in the near term. In addition, our portfolio was 97.1% leased and occupied as of June 30, 2020 and is diversified across 55 assets totaling 11.6 million square feet. Our buildings contain a diverse roster of 103 customers, large and small, spanning a multitude of industries and sectors across 18 markets, with a strategic weighting towards top tier markets where we have historically seen the lowest volatility combined with positive returns over time.
Our tenured and experienced asset management teams are working directly with our customers to manage through these turbulent times. Many of our customers’ businesses have been disrupted and some of our more impacted customers are experiencing lost revenue. Our teams are working with these customers to ensure they take advantage of any available insurance and government stimulus programs, which may help them pay rent whether in full or in part. Where appropriate, we have restructured leases and may restructure additional leases to provide temporary rent relief needed by certain customers while positioning ourselves to recapture abated rent over time. After adjusting for customers with such forbearance agreements in place, we received or agreed to defer 99% of our rent originally payable for the second quarter of 2020, compared to average annual collections of over 99% prior to the pandemic. We have executed or agreed to such forbearance agreements with approximately 5% of our customers (based on second quarter gross rent). Within our existing portfolio, and without adjusting for the effects of these forbearance agreements, we received 94% of our contractual rent for the second quarter of 2020, and 97% of our contractual rent for July. Rent relief requests have remained steady and did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to continue to collect rent at the same level that we did prior to the pandemic. Furthermore, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to recover unpaid rent.
While the uncertain length and depth of the damage from business disruptions remain a significant risk, we believe our NAV as of June 30, 2020 currently reflects this uncertainty, as the Independent Valuation Advisor has proactively increased credit loss reserves that may result from forbearance agreements or increased vacancies in the broader market since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. While we have not yet seen a reduction in deployment, going forward, the market disruption may slow our pace of
30
deployment as sellers may be less willing to transact. Slower deployment of capital into income producing real estate further reduces near-term cash flow generated to cover our distributions to our stockholders and may cause us to reduce our NAV in future periods in the absence of asset appreciation or expense support from the Advisor. However, we believe our strong balance sheet and ability as an operator will allow us to be a patient buyer of assets in order to maximize long-term total return and value creation for our stockholders.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Summary of 2020 Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we completed the following activities:
● | Our NAV was $10.0591 per share as of June 30, 2020 as compared to $10.0763 per share as of December 31, 2019. |
● | We raised $724.5 million of gross equity capital from our public offerings during the six months ended June 30, 2020. |
● | We acquired 10 industrial buildings comprised of 3.1 million square feet for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $295.8 million, which is equal to the total consideration paid. We funded these acquisitions with proceeds from our public offerings and debt financings. |
● | We entered into interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $150.0 million during the first quarter of 2020 to hedge LIBOR on our term loan, including one that became effective during the second quarter. These interest rate swaps, in combination with those already in place, effectively fix LIBOR at a weighted-average of 1.14% and result in an all-in interest rate on our term loan ranging from 1.84% to 2.60% depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. |

Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to the Same Periods in 2019
The following table summarizes the changes in our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same periods in 2019. We evaluate the performance of consolidated operating properties we own and manage using a same store analysis because the population of properties in this analysis is consistent from period to period, thereby eliminating the effects of any material changes in the composition of the aggregate portfolio on performance measures. We have defined the same store portfolio to include consolidated operating properties owned for the entirety of both the current and prior reporting periods for which the operations had been stabilized. “Other properties” includes buildings not meeting the same store criteria. The same store operating portfolio for the three month periods presented below included 17 buildings totaling approximately 3.2 million square feet owned as of April 1, 2019, which represented 27.2% of total rentable square feet, 35.6% of total revenues, and 35.4% of net operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The same store operating portfolio for the six month periods presented below included 13 buildings totaling approximately 2.7 million square feet owned as of January 1, 2019, which represented 23.6% of total rentable square feet, 31.0% of total revenues, and 31.4% of net operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Rental Revenues. Rental revenues are comprised of rental income, straight-line rent, and amortization of above- and below-market lease assets and liabilities. Total rental revenues increased by approximately $11.3 million and $22.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to an increase in non-same store revenues, which was attributable to the significant growth in our portfolio during the past 12 months. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, non-same store rental revenues reflect the addition of 42 and 38 buildings we have acquired since January 1, 2019 and April 1, 2019, respectively. Same store rental revenues increased $0.2 million, or 3.1%, and $0.2 million, or 2.2%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to an increase in recoverable expenses that resulted in increases to recovery revenue.
32
Rental Expenses. Rental expenses include certain property operating expenses typically reimbursed by our customers, such as real estate taxes, property insurance, repair and maintenance, and utilities. Total rental expenses increased by approximately $2.7 million and $5.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to an increase in non-same store rental expenses attributable to the significant growth in our portfolio since January 1, 2019. Same store rental expenses increased by $0.1 million, or 9.7%, and $0.1 million, or 3.9%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to an increase in portfolio-wide property taxes, partially offset by a decrease in repairs and maintenance, including lower snow removal and HVAC costs.
Other Expenses. Other expenses, in aggregate, increased by approximately $8.0 million and $11.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to the following:
● | an increase in real estate-related depreciation and amortization expense and advisory fees totaling an aggregate amount of $10.4 million and $17.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as a result of the growth in our portfolio as compared to the same periods in 2019; |
● | an increase in interest expense of $1.7 million and $3.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, primarily related to: (i) an increase in the interest expense from the two mortgage notes assumed in connection with the acquisition of the Dallas Infill Industrial Portfolio in June 2019 of $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same periods in 2019; and (ii) an increase in the interest expense of $0.8 million and $2.8 million from borrowings under the term loan due to an increase in average net borrowings of $273.0 million and $270.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively; partially offset by a decrease in interest from borrowings under the line of credit due to a decrease in average net borrowings of $12.7 million and $20.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019; and |
Partially offset by:
● | a net increase in the expense support from the Advisor of $4.7 million and $11.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, due to the $5.8 million and $10.3 million of net expense support received for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to the $1.0 million of net expense support received for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and the net reimbursement to the Advisor of $1.2 million pursuant to the expense support agreement between us and the Advisor of deferred fees and other expenses that were previously supported for the six months ended June 30, 2019. |
ADDITIONAL MEASURES OF PERFORMANCE
Net Loss and Net Operating Income (“NOI”)
We define NOI as GAAP rental revenues less GAAP rental expenses. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure and believe NOI provides useful information to our investors regarding our results of operations because NOI reflects the operating performance of our properties and excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of the properties, such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization, acquisition-related expenses, impairment charges, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. However, NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it excludes such expenses, which expenses could materially impact our results of operations. Further, our NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI. Therefore, we believe our net income (loss), as defined by GAAP, to be the most appropriate measure to evaluate our overall performance. Refer to “Results of Operations” above for a reconciliation of our GAAP net income (loss) to NOI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
33
Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Company-defined Funds from Operations (“Company-defined FFO”) and Modified Funds from Operations (“MFFO”)
We believe that FFO, Company-defined FFO, and MFFO, in addition to net income (loss) and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, are useful supplemental performance measures that our management uses to evaluate our consolidated operating performance. However, these supplemental, non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or to cash flows from operating activities as an indication of our performance and are not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. No single measure can provide users of financial information with sufficient information and only our disclosures read as a whole can be relied upon to adequately portray our financial position, liquidity, and results of operations. Fees deferred or waived by the Advisor and payments received from the Advisor and/or reimbursed to the Advisor pursuant to the expense support agreement are included in determining our net income (loss), which is used to determine FFO, Company-defined FFO, and MFFO. If we had not received support from the Advisor and/or reimbursed the Advisor pursuant to the expense support agreement, our FFO, Company-defined FFO, and MFFO would have been lower or higher. In addition, other REITs may define FFO and similar measures differently and choose to treat acquisition-related costs and potentially other accounting line items in a manner different from us due to specific differences in investment and operating strategy or for other reasons.
FFO. As defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), FFO is a non-GAAP measure that excludes certain items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization. We believe FFO is a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance that is useful to investors because depreciation and amortization in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. We use FFO as an indication of our consolidated operating performance and as a guide to making decisions about future investments.
Company-defined FFO. Similar to FFO, Company-defined FFO is a non-GAAP measure that excludes real estate-related depreciation and amortization and also excludes acquisition-related costs, which are characterized as expenses in determining net income (loss) under GAAP. The purchase of operating properties has been a key strategic objective of our business plan focused on generating growth in operating income and cash flow in order to make distributions to investors. However, the corresponding acquisition-related costs are driven by transactional activity rather than factors specific to the on-going operating performance of our properties or investments. Company-defined FFO may not be a complete indicator of our operating performance, and may not be a useful measure of the long-term operating performance of our properties if we do not continue to operate our business plan as disclosed.
MFFO. As defined by the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (“IPA”), MFFO is a non-GAAP supplemental financial performance measure used to evaluate our operating performance. Similar to FFO, MFFO excludes items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization. Similar to Company-defined FFO, MFFO excludes acquisition-related costs. MFFO also excludes straight-line rent and amortization of above- and below-market leases. In addition, there are certain other MFFO adjustments as defined by the IPA that are not applicable to us and are not included in our presentation of MFFO.
We are in the acquisition phase of our life cycle. Management does not include historical acquisition-related costs in its evaluation of future operating performance, as such costs are not expected to be incurred once our acquisition phase is complete. We use FFO, Company-defined FFO and MFFO to, among other things: (i) evaluate and compare the potential performance of the portfolio after the acquisition phase is complete, and (ii) evaluate potential performance to determine liquidity event strategies. Although some REITs may present similar measures differently from us, we believe FFO, Company-defined FFO and MFFO generally facilitate a comparison to other REITs that have similar operating characteristics to us. We believe investors are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analyses and evaluation with the same performance metrics used by management in planning and executing our business strategy. We believe that these performance metrics will assist investors in evaluating the potential performance of the portfolio after the completion of the acquisition phase. However, these supplemental, non-GAAP measures are not necessarily indicative of future performance and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or to cash flows from operating activities and is not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs. Neither the SEC, NAREIT, nor any regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments used to calculate FFO, Company-defined FFO and MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT, or a regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-traded REIT industry at which point we may adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO, Company-defined FFO and MFFO.
34
The following unaudited table presents a reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to NAREIT FFO, Company-defined FFO and MFFO:
We believe that: (i) our NAREIT FFO of $9.4 million, or $0.08 per share, as compared to the total gross distributions declared (which are paid in cash or reinvested in shares offered through our distribution reinvestment plan) in the amount of $15.7 million, or $0.14 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2020; (ii) our NAREIT FFO of $19.1 million, or $0.20 per share, as compared to the total gross distributions declared (which are paid in cash or reinvested in shares offered through our distribution reinvestment plan) in the amount of $25.9 million, or $0.27 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2020; and (iii) our NAREIT FFO of $18.3 million, or $1.09 per share, as compared to the total gross distributions declared (which are paid in cash or reinvested in shares offered through our distribution reinvestment plan) of $51.4 million, or $2.02 per share, for the period from inception (August 12, 2014) to June 30, 2020, are not indicative of future performance as we are in the acquisition phase of our life cycle and still receive expense support from the Advisor. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Distributions” below for details concerning our distributions, which are paid in cash or reinvested in shares of our common stock by participants in our distribution reinvestment plan.
35
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
Our primary sources of capital for meeting our cash requirements during our acquisition phase are, and will be, net proceeds from our public offerings, including proceeds from the sale of shares offered through our distribution reinvestment plan, debt financings, cash resulting from the expense support provided by the Advisor and cash generated from operating activities. We currently intend to maintain an allocation of at least 10% of our NAV to cash and cash equivalents. Our principal uses of funds are, and will be, for the acquisition of properties and other investments, capital expenditures, operating expenses, payments under our debt obligations, and distributions to our stockholders. Over time, we intend to fund a majority of our cash needs for items other than asset acquisitions, including the repayment of debt and capital expenditures, from operating cash flows and refinancings. There may be a delay between the deployment of proceeds raised from our public offerings and our purchase of assets, which could result in a delay in the benefits to our stockholders, if any, of returns generated from our investments.
The global pandemic and resulting shut down of large parts of the U.S. economy has created significant uncertainty and enhanced investment risk across many asset classes, including real estate. The COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as the reduced economic activity severely impacts certain of our customers’ businesses, financial condition and liquidity and may cause certain customers to be unable to meet their obligations to us in full. However, since December 31, 2019 and through August 5, 2020, we have raised over $788.8 million in equity capital. We believe that the increased pace at which we raised capital in early 2020 was primarily due to an influx of capital from IPT shareholders who determined to invest in our common shares following the completion of IPT’s asset sale in January 2020. As a result, our balance sheet as of June 30, 2020 was strong with over $400.0 million of cash and less than 30% leverage, calculated as our total borrowings outstanding divided by the fair value of our real property plus cash and cash equivalents. We have continued to see steady capital inflows from new investors who invested $189.0 million of new capital into the Company during the second quarter. See “—Capital Resources and Uses of Liquidity—Offering Proceeds” for further information concerning capital raised thus far in 2020 and our expectations regarding the pace of capital raising in the near term. In addition, our portfolio was 97.1% leased as of June 30, 2020 and is diversified across 55 assets totaling 11.6 million square feet. Our buildings contain a diverse roster of 103 customers, large and small, spanning a multitude of industries and sectors across 18 markets, with a strategic weighting towards top tier markets where we have historically seen the lowest volatility combined with positive returns over time. Within our existing portfolio, we collected 94% of our contractual rent for the second quarter of 2020, and 97% of our contractual rent for July.
The Advisor, subject to the oversight of our board of directors and, under certain circumstances, the investment committee or other committees established by our board of directors, will continue to evaluate potential acquisitions and will engage in negotiations with sellers and lenders on our behalf. Pending investment in property, debt, other investments, and our 10% cash allocation mentioned above, we may decide to temporarily invest any unused proceeds from our public offering in certain investments that are expected to yield lower returns than those earned on real estate assets. During these times of economic uncertainty, we have seen a slow down in transaction volume, which has adversely impacted our ability to acquire real estate assets, which would cause us to retain more lower yielding investments and hold them for longer periods of time while we seek to acquire additional real estate assets. These lower returns may affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Potential future sources of capital include proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from the sale of assets, and undistributed funds from operations.
We believe that our cash on-hand, anticipated net offering proceeds, anticipated financing activities and cash resulting from the expense support provided by the Advisor will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.
Cash Flows. The following table summarizes our cash flows, as determined on a GAAP basis, for the following periods:
36
Cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased by approximately $14.1 million as compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to the growth in our property operations. Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased by approximately $46.8 million as compared to the same period in 2019. While acquisition volume was comparable between periods, we assumed two mortgage notes in the aggregate amount of $49.3 million in connection with an acquisition in 2019, resulting in decreased cash flows used in investing activities as compared to 2020. Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased approximately $393.6 million as compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to an increase in net proceeds raised in our public offerings of $510.3 million, partially offset by a decrease of $111.2 million in our net borrowing activity.
Capital Resources and Uses of Liquidity
In addition to our cash and cash equivalents balance available, our capital resources and uses of liquidity are as follows:
Line of Credit and Term Loan. As of June 30, 2020, we had an aggregate of $730.0 million of commitments under our credit agreement, including $315.0 million under our line of credit and $415.0 million under our term loan. As of that date, we had no amounts outstanding under our line of credit and $415.0 million outstanding under our term loan with an effective interest rate of 2.24%, which includes the effect of the interest rate swap agreements. The unused and available portions under our line of credit were both $314.9 million as of June 30, 2020. There were no unused nor available amounts under our term loan as of June 30, 2020. Our $315.0 million line of credit matures in November 2023 and may be extended pursuant to a one-year extension option, subject to continuing compliance with certain financial covenants and other customary conditions. Our $415.0 million term loan matures in February 2024. Our line of credit and term loan borrowings are available for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, the acquisition and operation of permitted investments by us. Refer to “Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding our line of credit and term loan.
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) that regulates LIBOR announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”), which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative rate for LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. We are not able to predict when LIBOR will cease to be available or when there will be sufficient liquidity in the SOFR markets. Any changes adopted by the FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR. If that were to occur, our interest payment could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rate and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in the current form.
As of June 30, 2020, our line of credit and term loan are our only indebtedness with maturities beyond 2021 that have exposure to LIBOR. The agreement governing the term loan provides procedures for determining a replacement or alternative base rate in the event that LIBOR is discontinued. However, there can be no assurances as to whether such replacement or alternative base rate will be more or less favorable than LIBOR. As of June 30, 2020, we have interest rate swaps in place to hedge LIBOR on $350.0 million of commitments under our term loan. We intend to monitor the developments with respect to the potential phasing out of LIBOR after 2021 and work with our lenders to seek to ensure any transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on our financial condition, but can provide no assurances regarding the impact of the discontinuation of LIBOR.
Mortgage Notes. As of June 30, 2020, we had property-level borrowings of approximately $49.3 million of principal outstanding with a weighted-average remaining term of 4.9 years. These borrowings are secured by mortgages or deeds of trust and related assignments and security interests in the collateralized properties, and had a weighted-average interest rate of 3.71%. Refer to “Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding the mortgage notes.
Debt Covenants. Our line of credit, term loan and mortgage note agreements contain various property-level covenants, including customary affirmative and negative covenants. In addition, the agreement governing our line of credit and term loan contains certain corporate level financial covenants, including leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, and tangible net worth thresholds. These covenants may limit our ability to incur additional debt, to make borrowings under our line of credit, or to pay distributions. We were in compliance with all of our debt covenants as of June 30, 2020.
37
Offering Proceeds. As of June 30, 2020, aggregate gross proceeds raised since inception from our public and private offerings, including proceeds raised through our distribution reinvestment plan, were $1.24 billion ($1.17 billion net of direct selling costs). These proceeds include $528.2 million from the sale of 50.6 million shares of our common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2020. We believe that the increased pace at which we raised capital in early 2020 was primarily due to an influx of capital from IPT shareholders who determined to invest in our common shares following the receipt of a special distribution from IPT related to the completion of IPT’s asset sale in January 2020. Due to the unique nature of these circumstances, we do not expect that this increased pace will be sustained throughout 2020. Although we have continued to steadily raise capital, with $189.0 million of new capital inflows during the second quarter, we have noted a slowdown in capital raising, which we attribute primarily to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, due to the economic disruption created by the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect the pace of capital raising to be slower in the near term and to return to a pace more consistent with or slower than the pace we experienced during 2019.
Distributions. We intend to continue to accrue and make distributions on a regular basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, approximately 2.1% of our total gross distributions were paid from cash flows from operating activities, as determined on a GAAP basis, and 97.9% of our total gross distributions were funded from sources other than cash flows from operating activities, as determined on a GAAP basis; specifically 48.1% of our total gross distributions were paid from cash provided by expense support from the Advisor, and 49.8% of our total gross distributions were funded with proceeds from shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. Some or all of our future distributions may be paid from sources other than cash flows from operating activities, such as cash flows from financing activities, which include borrowings (including borrowings secured by our assets), proceeds from the issuance of shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, proceeds from sales of assets, cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees otherwise payable to the Advisor or its affiliates (including cash received pursuant to the expense support agreement), interest income from our cash balances, and the net proceeds from primary shares sold in our public offerings. We have not established a cap on the amount of our distributions that may be paid from any of these sources. The amount of any distributions will be determined by our board of directors, and will depend on, among other things, current and projected cash requirements, tax considerations and other factors deemed relevant by our board.
For the third quarter of 2020, our board of directors authorized monthly distributions to all common stockholders of record as of the close of business on the last business day of each month for the third quarter of 2020, or July 31, 2020, August 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020 (each a “Distribution Record Date”). The distributions were authorized at a quarterly rate of (i) $0.13625 per Class I share of common stock and (ii) $0.13625 per Class T share and per Class W share of common stock, less the respective annual distribution fees that are payable monthly with respect to such Class T shares and Class W shares. This quarterly rate is equal to a monthly rate of (i) $0.04542 per Class I share of common stock and (ii) $0.04542 per Class T share and per Class W share of common stock, less the respective annual distribution fees that are payable with respect to such Class T shares and Class W shares. Distributions for each month of the third quarter of 2020 have been or will be paid in cash or reinvested in shares of our common stock for those electing to participate in our distribution reinvestment plan following the close of business on the respective Distribution Record Date applicable to such monthly distributions.
There can be no assurances that the current distribution rate or amount per share will be maintained. In the near-term, we expect that we may need to continue to rely on expense support from the Advisor and sources other than cash flows from operations, as determined on a GAAP basis, to pay distributions, which if insufficient could negatively impact our ability to pay such distributions.
38
The following table outlines sources used, as determined on a GAAP basis, to pay total gross distributions (which are paid in cash or reinvested in shares of our common stock through our distribution reinvestment plan) for the quarters ended as of the dates indicated below:
(1) | For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, the Advisor provided expense support of $13.5 million and $6.1 million, respectively. Expense support from the Advisor used to pay distributions is presented above without the effect of our reimbursements to the Advisor of previously deferred fees and other expenses. We reimbursed the Advisor $3.2 million and $13.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, respectively. See “Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for further detail on the expense support from and reimbursement to the Advisor during the quarter. Refer to Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in our 2019 Form 10-K for a description of the expense support agreement. |
(2) | Stockholders may elect to have their distributions reinvested in shares of our common stock through our distribution reinvestment plan. |
(3) | Gross distributions are total distributions before the deduction of any distribution fees relating to Class T shares and Class W shares issued in the primary portion of our public offerings. |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our cash flows provided by operating activities on a GAAP basis were $18.7 million, as compared to our aggregate total gross distributions declared (which are paid in cash or reinvested in shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan) of $25.9 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, our cash flows provided by operating activities on a GAAP basis were $4.6 million, as compared to our aggregate total gross distributions declared (which are paid in cash or reinvested in shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan) of $8.2 million.
Refer to “Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for further detail on our distributions.
Redemptions. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we received eligible redemption requests for approximately 0.1 million shares of our common stock, all of which we redeemed using cash flows from financing activities, for an aggregate amount of approximately $1.4 million, or an average price of $9.86 per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we received eligible redemption requests for 0.1 million shares of our common stock, all of which we redeemed using cash flows from financing activities, for an aggregate amount of approximately $1.0 million, or an average price of $9.99 per share. See Part II, Item 2. “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds—Share Redemption Program,” for further description of our share redemption program.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Status of the Public Offerings
As of August 5, 2020, we had raised gross proceeds of $1.3 billion from the sale of 124.7 million shares of our common stock in our public offerings, including $28.2 million from the sale of 2.8 million shares of our common stock through our distribution reinvestment plan. These proceeds include $528.2 million from the sale of 50.6 million shares of our common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2020. We believe that the increased pace at which we raised capital in early 2020 was primarily due to an influx of capital from IPT shareholders who determined to invest in our common shares following their receipt of a special distribution from IPT related to the completion of IPT’s asset sale in January 2020. Due to the unique nature of these circumstances, we do not expect that this increased pace will be sustained throughout 2020. Although we have continued to steadily raise capital, with $189.0 million of new capital inflows during the second quarter, we have noted a slowdown in capital raising, which we attribute primarily to the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect sales of our common shares to return to a pace more consistent with the pace we experienced during 2019. As of August 5, 2020, approximately $1.2 billion in shares of our common stock remained available for sale pursuant to our follow-on public offering in any combination of Class T shares, Class W shares and Class I shares, including approximately $480.1 million in shares of common stock available for sale through our distribution reinvestment plan, which may be reallocated for sale in our primary offering.
Acquisitions Under Contract
We have entered into contracts to acquire properties with an aggregate contract purchase price of approximately $69.2 million, comprised of four industrial buildings. There can be no assurance that we will complete the acquisition of the properties under contract.
Interests Purchase and Related Agreements
See “Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for information regarding the Interest Purchase Agreement, Related-Party Agreements and the BTC I Partnership Agreement.
Articles of Amendment
On August 4, 2020, we filed Articles of Amendment (the “Charter Amendment”) to our Third Articles of Amendment and Restatement (the “Charter”) with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation. The Charter Amendment revised Section 12.2 of Article XII of our Charter, which sets forth the voting rights of our stockholders. The Charter Amendment removed language that certain state securities administrators believe could be used to dilute common stockholder voting rights, in the event that we have classes or series of stock in the future with special voting rights. As we have no classes or series of stock with special voting rights, such as preferred stock, we do not expect this amendment to have a meaningful impact on us or our stockholders.
COVID-19
We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, including how it will impact our customers and business partners. While we did not incur significant disruptions during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to predict the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties and the impact could be material.
We continued to receive certain rent relief requests in July and August 2020, most often in the form of rent deferral requests, as a result of COVID-19. We are evaluating each customer relief request on an individual basis, considering a number of factors. Where appropriate, we have restructured leases and may restructure additional leases to provide temporary rent relief needed by certain customers while positioning ourselves to recapture abated rent over time. After adjusting for customers with such forbearance agreements in place, we received or agreed to defer 99% of our rent originally payable for July, compared to average annual collections of over 99% prior to the pandemic. We have executed or agreed to forbearance agreements with approximately 2% of our customers (based on July gross rent). Within our existing portfolio, and without adjusting for the effects of these forbearance agreements, we collected approximately 97% of our rent (based on gross rent) for July. Not all customer requests will ultimately result in modification of lease agreements, nor are we forgoing our contractual rights under our lease agreements. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to recover unpaid rent.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
A summary of future obligations as of December 31, 2019 was disclosed in our 2019 Form 10-K. Except as otherwise disclosed in “Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” relating to borrowings under our line of credit and term loan, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business from the future obligations disclosed in our 2019 Form 10-K.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of June 30, 2020, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect, on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions, and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. For a detailed description of our critical accounting estimates, see Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2019 Form 10-K. As of June 30, 2020, our critical accounting estimates have not changed from those described in our 2019 Form 10-K.
41
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
We may be exposed to the impact of interest rate changes. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows, and optimize overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we plan to borrow on a fixed interest rate basis for longer-term debt and utilize interest rate swap agreements on certain variable interest rate debt in order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our results of operations. As of June 30, 2020, our debt outstanding consisted of borrowings under our term loan and mortgage notes.
Fixed Interest Rate Debt. As of June 30, 2020, our fixed interest rate debt consisted of $350.0 million under our term loan, which was effectively fixed through the use of interest swap agreements, and $49.3 million of principal borrowings under our mortgage notes. In total, our fixed rate debt represented approximately 86.0% of our total debt as of June 30, 2020. The impact of interest rate fluctuations on our fixed interest rate debt will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows unless such borrowings mature, are otherwise terminated or payments are made on the principal balance. However, interest rate changes could affect the fair value of our fixed interest rate debt. As of June 30, 2020, the fair value and the carrying value of our fixed interest rate debt, excluding the values of hedges, were $394.0 million and $399.3 million, respectively. The fair value estimate of our fixed interest rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loans were originated on June 30, 2020. Based on our debt as of June 30, 2020, we do not expect that market fluctuations in interest rates will have a significant impact on our future earnings or operating cash flows.
Variable Interest Rate Debt. As of June 30, 2020, our variable interest rate debt consisted of $65.0 million under our term loan, which represented 14.0% of our total debt. Interest rate changes on the variable portion of our variable-rate debt could impact our future earnings and cash flows, but would not significantly affect the fair value of such debt. As of June 30, 2020, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $65.0 million of borrowings. A hypothetical 25 basis points increase in the all-in interest rate on the outstanding balance of our variable interest rate debt as of June 30, 2020, would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $0.2 million.
Derivative Instruments. As of June 30, 2020, we had seven outstanding interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, with a total notional amount of $350.0 million. See “Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for further detail on our interest rate swaps. We are exposed to credit risk of the counterparty to our interest rate swap agreements in the event of non-performance under the terms of the agreements. If we were not able to replace these swaps in the event of non-performance by the counterparty, we would be subject to variability of the interest rate on the amount outstanding under our term loan that is fixed through the use of the swaps.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2020. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the six months ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
42
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our 2019 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (“Form 10-Q”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition, and/or future results. The risks described in our 2019 Form 10-K and Form 10-Q are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 2019 Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.
43
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Share Redemption Program
Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our share redemption program may provide a limited opportunity for stockholders to have shares of our common stock redeemed for cash. To the extent our board of directors determines that we have sufficient available cash for redemptions, we initially intend to redeem shares under our share redemption program on a monthly basis; however, our board of directors may determine from time to time to adjust the timing of redemptions or suspend, terminate or otherwise modify our share redemption program.
While stockholders may request on a monthly basis that we redeem all or any portion of their shares pursuant to our share redemption program, we are not obligated to redeem any shares and may choose to redeem only some, or even none, of the shares that have been requested to be redeemed in any particular month, in our discretion. In addition, our ability to fulfill redemption requests is subject to a number of limitations. As a result, share redemptions may not be available each month. Under our share redemption program, to the extent we determine to redeem shares in any particular month, we will only redeem shares as of the last calendar day of that month (each such date, a “Redemption Date”). Redemptions will be made at the transaction price in effect on the Redemption Date, except that all shares of our common stock that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be redeemed at 95.0% of the transaction price and Class T shares that have been outstanding for at least one year but less than two years will be redeemed at 97.5% of the transaction price. Each of these deductions is referred to as an “Early Redemption Deduction.” An Early Redemption Deduction will not be applied with respect to: (i) Class W shares and Class I shares that have been outstanding for at least one year; and (ii) Class T shares that have been outstanding for at least two years. The “transaction price” generally will be equal to the NAV per share of our common stock most recently disclosed by us. We will redeem shares at a price that we believe reflects the NAV per share of such stock more appropriately than the most recently disclosed monthly NAV per share, including by updating a previously disclosed transaction price, in cases where we believe there has been a material change (positive or negative) to the NAV per share relative to the most recently disclosed monthly NAV per share. An Early Redemption Deduction may be waived in certain circumstances including: (i) in the case of redemption requests arising from the death or qualified disability of the holder; (ii) in the event that a stockholder’s shares are redeemed because the stockholder has failed to maintain the $2,000 minimum account balance; or (iii) with respect to shares purchased through our distribution reinvestment plan or received from us as a stock dividend. To have shares redeemed, a stockholder’s redemption request and required documentation must be received in good order by 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the second to last business day of the applicable month. Settlements of share redemptions will be made within three business days of the Redemption Date. An investor may withdraw its redemption request by notifying the transfer agent before 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the last business day of the applicable month.
Under our share redemption program, we may redeem during any calendar month shares whose aggregate value (based on the price at which the shares are redeemed) is 2.0% of our aggregate NAV as of the last calendar day of the previous quarter and during any calendar quarter whose aggregate value (based on the price at which the shares are redeemed) is up to 5.0% of our aggregate NAV as of the last calendar day of the prior calendar quarter. During a given quarter, if in each of the first two months of such quarter the 2.0% redemption limit is reached and stockholders’ redemptions are reduced pro rata for such months, then in the third and final month of that quarter, the applicable limit for such month will likely be less than 2.0% of our aggregate NAV as of the last calendar day of the previous month because the redemptions for that month, combined with the redemptions in the previous two months, cannot exceed 5.0% of our aggregate NAV as of the last calendar day of the prior calendar quarter.
Although the vast majority of our assets consist of properties that cannot generally be readily liquidated on short notice without impacting our ability to realize full value upon their disposition, we intend to maintain a number of sources of liquidity including: (i) cash equivalents (e.g. money market funds), other short-term investments, U.S. government securities, agency securities and liquid real estate-related securities; and (ii) one or more borrowing facilities. We may fund redemptions from any available source of funds, including operating cash flows, borrowings, proceeds from our public offering and/or sales of our assets.
44
Should redemption requests, in our judgment, place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on us as a whole, or should we otherwise determine that investing our liquid assets in real properties or other illiquid investments rather than redeeming our shares is in the best interests of the company as a whole, then we may choose to redeem fewer shares than have been requested to be redeemed, or none at all. In the event that we determine to redeem some but not all of the shares submitted for redemption during any month for any of the foregoing reasons, shares submitted for redemption during such month will be redeemed on a pro rata basis. All unsatisfied redemption requests must be resubmitted after the start of the next month or quarter, or upon the recommencement of the share redemption program, as applicable. If the transaction price for the applicable month is not made available by the tenth business day prior to the last business day of the month (or is changed after such date), then no redemption requests will be accepted for such month and stockholders who wish to have their shares redeemed the following month must resubmit their redemption requests.
The preceding summary does not purport to be a complete summary of our share redemption program and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the share redemption program, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Refer to Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional details regarding our redemption history.
The table below summarizes the redemption activity for the three months ended June 30, 2020:
(1) | We limit the number of shares that may be redeemed per calendar quarter under the program as described above. |
