Insights

FR reported strong Q2 results with 8.7% cash SS NOI growth and 33% rental rate increases, while maintaining solid 94.2% occupancy.

First Industrial Realty Trust delivered impressive Q2 2025 results that demonstrate the fundamental strength of the industrial real estate sector despite some occupancy challenges. The company achieved $0.76 FFO per share, a substantial 15.2% increase from $0.66 in Q2 2024, while diluted EPS rose to $0.42 from $0.39 year-over-year.

The most compelling metric is FR's cash same-store NOI growth of 8.7%, driven primarily by substantial rental rate increases on new and renewal leases. The company secured an extraordinary 28.0% cash rental rate increase (47.1% on a straight-line basis) on new and renewal leasing during the quarter. Even more impressive, excluding a 1.3 million square foot fixed-rate renewal, cash rental rates jumped 46.1% (67.3% straight-line).

While occupancy dipped to 94.2% from 95.3% in both Q1 2025 and Q2 2024, this was expected due to a previously disclosed 708,000 square foot move-out in Central Pennsylvania and the temporary impact of new developments placed in service. The company's leasing progress remains strong, having already secured a 33% cash rental rate increase on leases signed for 2025 commencements, covering 88% of 2025 expirations.

FR's capital position strengthened considerably, earning a BBB+ credit rating from Fitch and completing a $450 million bond offering at 5.25% - their first public bond issuance since 2007. This strategic move pushes their next debt maturity to 2027, providing significant financial flexibility.

Management maintained their 2025 guidance with FFO projected between $2.88 and $2.96 per share and cash same-store NOI growth forecast at 6.0% to 7.0%. The company continues to balance strategic development (starting two new projects totaling 402,000 square feet with $54 million investment) with maintaining a conservative capital structure.

  • Second Quarter Cash Same Store NOI Growth of 8.7%
  • 33% Cash Rental Rate Increase on Leases Signed To-Date Commencing in 2025; 38% Increase Excluding 1.3 MSF Fixed-Rate Renewal
  • Signed a 58,000 SF Lease at First Loop Logistics Park Building 4 in Orlando in the Second Quarter
  • Earned 'BBB+' Unsecured Credit Rating from Fitch Ratings
  • Issued $450 Million of 5.25% Senior Unsecured Notes Due January 2031, Our First Public Bond Offering Since 2007

CHICAGO, July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: FR), a leading fully integrated owner, operator and developer of logistics real estate, today announced results for the second quarter of 2025. First Industrial's diluted net income available to common stockholders per share (EPS) was $0.42 in the second quarter, compared to $0.39 a year ago and second quarter funds from operations (FFO) was $0.76 per share/unit on a diluted basis, compared to $0.66 per share/unit a year ago.

"Our diverse portfolio continues to perform strongly with cash rental rate growth among the sector leaders coupled with healthy renewal activity," said Peter E. Baccile, First Industrial's president and chief executive officer. "We look forward to further clarity on tariffs so businesses have the inputs they need to invest in growth which would benefit demand for logistics real estate, including our high quality developments."

Portfolio Performance

  • In service occupancy was 94.2% at the end of the second quarter of 2025, compared to 95.3% at the end of both the first quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2024. 2Q25 Occupancy reflects the previously known 708,000 square-foot move-out in Central Pennsylvania and the impact of two developments placed in service, partially offset by some new leasing.
  • In the second quarter, cash rental rates on new and renewal leasing increased 28.0% and increased 47.1% on a straight-line basis. Excluding the previously disclosed 1.3 MSF fixed-rate renewal, the cash rental rates on new and renewal leasing increased 46.1% and increased 67.3% on a straight-line basis.
  • The Company has achieved a cash rental rate increase of approximately 33% on leases signed to-date commencing in 2025 reflecting 88% of 2025 expirations by square footage. Excluding the 1.3 million square-foot fixed-rate renewal previously disclosed, the cash rental rate increase is 38%.
  • In the second quarter, cash basis same store net operating income before termination fees ("SS NOI") increased 8.7% primarily reflecting increases in rental rates on new and renewal leasing and contractual rent escalations, partially offset by lower average occupancy.

Development Leasing Highlights

During the second quarter, the Company:

  • Leased 58,000 square feet of its 107,000 square-foot First Loop Logistics Park Building 4 in Orlando; commenced in the second quarter.

Investment and Disposition Highlights

During the second quarter, the Company:

  • Started two development projects totaling 402,000 square feet, estimated total investment of $54 million, comprised of:
    • First Park 121 Building F in Dallas - 176,000 square feet; $23 million estimated investment.
    • First Park New Castle Building B in Philadelphia - 226,000 square feet; $31 million estimated investment.
  • Sold one building in Detroit - 18,000 square feet; $2 million.

Capital Markets Highlights

In the second quarter, the Company:

  • Received an upgrade of its senior unsecured debt ratings to 'BBB+' from Fitch Ratings in May.
  • Completed its first public bond offering since 2007 of $450 million of 5.25% senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2031.

"With our first public bond offering since 2007, we further strengthened our capital position, with our next maturity coming due in 2027 assuming exercise of available extension options on one of our bank loans," said Scott Musil, First Industrial's chief financial officer. "We would like to thank our banking partners for their outstanding execution and support in this important transaction for our company."

(c) Investors and analysts in the real estate industry commonly use funds from operations ("FFO"), net operating income ("NOI"), adjusted EBITDA and adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO") as supplemental performance measures. While we consider net income, as defined by GAAP, the most appropriate measure of our financial performance, we acknowledge the relevance and widespread use of these supplemental performance measures for evaluating performance and financial position in the real estate industry. FFO principally adjusts for the effects of GAAP depreciation and amortization of real estate assets to account for the inherent assumption that real estate asset values rise or fall with market conditions.  NOI provides a measure of rental operations, and does not factor in depreciation and amortization and non-property specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses. Adjusted EBITDA further evaluates the ability to incur and service debt, fund dividends and meet other cash obligations. AFFO provides a tool to further evaluate the ability to fund dividends, adjusting for additional factors such as straight-line rent and certain capital expenditures.

These supplemental performance measures are commonly used in various financial analyses including ratio calculations, pricing multiples/yields and returns and valuation metrics used to measure financial position, performance and value. We calculate our supplemental measures as follows:

FFO is calculated as net income available to common stockholders, unitholders and participating securities, plus depreciation and other amortization of real estate, plus impairment of real estate, minus gain (or plus loss) on sale of real estate, adjusted for any associated income tax provisions or benefits. Similar adjustments are made for our share of net income from an unconsolidated joint venture. This calculation methodology is in accordance with the NAREIT definition of FFO.

NOI is calculated as total property revenues minus property expenses such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as NOI plus equity in FFO from our investment in joint venture (net of noncontrolling interest) and minus general and administrative expenses.

AFFO is calculated as adjusted EBITDA minus interest expense, capitalized interest and overhead, plus amortization of debt discounts and hedge costs, minus straight-line rent, amortization of above (below) market leases, lease inducements and provision for income taxes allocable to FFO or plus income tax benefit allocable to FFO, plus amortization of equity based compensation and minus non-incremental capital expenditures. Non-incremental capital expenditures refer to building improvements and leasing costs required to maintain current revenues plus tenant improvements amortized back to the tenant over the lease term. Excluded are first generation leasing costs, capital expenditures underwritten at acquisition and development/redevelopment costs.

FFO, NOI, adjusted EBITDA and AFFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily indicative of cash available for debt repayment or dividend payments. They should not be considered substitutes of GAAP measures such as net income, cash flows or liquidity measures. Furthermore, the methodologies used to calculate these measures may vary across real estate companies, limiting comparability.

We consider cash basis same store NOI ("SS NOI") to be a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. We believe SS NOI enhances the comparability of a company's real estate portfolio to that of other real estate companies. Same store properties are properties that were owned and placed in service prior to January 1, 2024 and held as an in service property through the end of the current reporting period including certain income-producing land parcels, and developments and redevelopments that were placed in service prior to January 1, 2024 (the "Same Store Pool"). Properties acquired with occupancy of at least 75% at acquisition are placed in service, unless we anticipate tenant move-outs within two years of ownership would reduce occupancy below 75%, in which case such properties are placed in service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or twelve months after tenant move out. Properties acquired with less than 75% occupancy are placed in service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or one year following acquisition. Developments, redevelopments and acquired income-producing land parcels for which our ultimate intent is to redevelop or develop are placed in service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or one year after construction completion.

We define SS NOI as NOI, less NOI from properties not in the Same Store Pool, and further adjusted to exclude the impact of straight-line rent, the amortization of above (below) market rent and the impact of lease termination fees. These items are excluded because we believe excluding them provides a more meaningful reflection of cash-basis rental growth and allows for a more consistent year-over-year analysis of property-level performance. SS NOI does not reflect general and administrative expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, income tax benefit and expense, gains and losses on the sale of real estate, equity in income or loss from joint venture, joint venture fees, joint venture development services expense, capital expenditures and leasing costs. SS NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, nor should it be used as a substitute in evaluating our liquidity or overall operating performance. Additionally, our method for calculating SS NOI may differ from those used by other real estate companies, limiting comparability.
