Rexford Industrial Completes a $1.2 Billion Industrial Portfolio Sale
Rexford advances its $2.0 billion non-core realignment, using large 2026 asset sales to reduce leverage and repurchase shares.
Rhea-AI Summary
Rexford Industrial (REXR) closed a previously announced sale of a 22‑property industrial portfolio to an EQT Real Estate affiliate for approximately $1.2 billion as part of its $2.0 billion non-core disposition program.
The portfolio totals 5.2 million rentable square feet with a weighted average remaining lease term of 2.7 years and in-place rents 28% above current market rates, implying an estimated 2027 cash NOI yield of about 5.5% given anticipated rent roll-downs and tenant moveouts. Year to date, Rexford has completed $1.5 billion of dispositions, including $86 million closed in the third quarter to date, positioning it within its 2026 disposition guidance range of $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion.
Third quarter to date, disposition proceeds funded $485 million of debt repayment and $205 million of share repurchases, bringing year-to-date totals to $492 million and $505 million, respectively. The company estimates year-end 2026 Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre of 3.5x and reaffirmed its 2026 guidance.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which are based on current expectations, forecasts and assumptions that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," or "potential" or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. While forward-looking statements reflect the Company's good faith beliefs, assumptions and expectations, they are not guarantees of future performance. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industry in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described above. These and other factors, including the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Portfolio Transaction, could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in our estimates and beliefs and in the estimates prepared by independent parties. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause the Company's future results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, see the reports and other filings by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Definitions / Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre: Calculated as Net Debt divided by annualized Adjusted EBITDAre. We calculate Adjusted EBITDAre as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), before interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization, gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, impairment losses of depreciable property, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, acquisition expenses, the pro-forma effects of dispositions and other nonrecurring expenses. We believe that Adjusted EBITDAre is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of our operating performance as a real estate company because it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of our industrial properties. We also use this measure in ratios to compare our performance to that of our industry peers. In addition, we believe Adjusted EBITDAre is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of Equity REITs. However, because Adjusted EBITDAre is calculated before recurring cash charges including interest expense and income taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of our business, its utility as a measure of our liquidity is limited. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (as computed in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity. Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss as an indicator of our operating performance. Other Equity REITs may calculate Adjusted EBITDAre differently than we do; accordingly, our Adjusted EBITDAre may not be comparable to such other Equity REITs' Adjusted EBITDAre. Adjusted EBITDAre should be considered only as a supplement to net income (as computed in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our performance. We do not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates of Net Debt or Adjusted EBITDAre on a forward-looking basis, as we are unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amount of various items that would impact net income, which is the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure. This includes, for example, other non-core items that have not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.
