  • "SCD" stands for the "Surplus Cash Distributions".

(Note 1) Total of SCD is the return of invested capital, which falls under the distributions through the reduction in unit holders' capital for tax purposes.

(Note 2) The ratios of net asset value attributable to a reduction in unit holders' paid-in capital for the fiscal periods ended May 31, 2022 and Nov. 30, 2021 are both 0.004. The payment of SCD is deemed a return of capital. This calculation methodology is pursuant to Article 23, Paragraph 1, Item 4 of the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation.

  1. Overview of the 19th Fiscal Period ended May 31, 2022

(i) Major Operational Results of NPR

NPR was established on Nov. 7, 2012 based on the Act on Investment Trust and Investment Corporation (investment trust law) and was listed on the REIT Securities Market (J-REIT Market) of the Tokyo Stock Exchange ("TSE") on Feb. 14, 2013 (securities code: 3283).

NPR has strategically focused on investment for Class-A logistics facilities from its inception backed by the Prologis Group's(*1) strong sponsor support and has increased unit holders' value by maintaining a portfolio that generates stable income. As a result of such investment management, NPR owned 55 properties (aggregate acquisition price(*2) : 821,983 million yen), all of which are Class-A logistics facilities(*3) developed by the Prologis Group, as of the end of the reporting fiscal period(*4).

(*1) The Prologis Group is a group of Prologis, Inc. and its affiliates, which include Prologis K.K., a Japanese subsidiary.

(*2) "Acquisition price" does not include national or local consumption taxes or expenses which were incurred in connection with the acquisition of the properties. Figures are rounded down to millions of yen. With respect to Prologis Park Zama 1, the acquisition price is as of the date of the initial acquisition and does not reflect the partial disposition and acquisition of land on Oct. 3, 2018. With respect to Prologis Park Iwanuma, from the reporting fiscal period, the acquisition price includes the acquisition price of its land and the construction cost of the building for its redevelopment project. In addition, NPR has changed its name from the former "Prologis Park Iwanuma 1" to "Prologis Park Iwanuma" upon the completion of the redevelopment project and the acquisition of the subject building as of April 28, 2022.

(*3) "Class-A logistics facilities" are our target logistics properties that meet the demands of logistics companies and other end-users with respect to operational efficiency and fulfill certain criteria with respect to size, location, state-of-the-art equipment, convenience and safety.

(*4) Prologis Park Funabashi 5 and the Annex to Prologis Park Funabashi 5 are deemed a single property; the Annex to Prologis Park Funabashi 5 was not developed by the Prologis Group and is considered by itself not to qualify as a Class- A logistics facility.

(ii) Operational Results of the 19th Fiscal Period ended May 31, 2022

In the Japanese logistics real estate market, we believe that the fundamental demand for Class-A logistics facilities continues to increase as NPR's customers (logistics space users) move from older and smaller buildings to larger/ more advanced facilities. In our view, this shift is a result of the ongoing reconfiguration of Japan's supply chain, triggered by (i) the transition from manufacturing to services, migration of manufacturing to overseas locations, continuous expansion in global trade and economic, industrial and social structural changes inside and outside of Japan, and (ii) the expansion of e-commerce ("EC") and third-party logistics ("3PL") providers.

The COVID-19 pandemic started in 2020 has further accelerated expansion of EC-related consumption and the amount of companies' inventories, and therefore, the demand for modern logistics properties has further increased. On the other hand, such business environment and continued monetary easing policy has motivated various real estate developers and investors to enter into the modern logistics properties development business, and resulted in continuous increase in the volume of new supply of properties. Under such environment, the vacancy rate of large multi-tenant logistics properties as of the end of Mar. 2022 demonstrated marginal increase but was still continuously at relatively low levels at 4.4% in the greater Tokyo market and 2.1% in the greater Osaka market, respectively (*1). While we will continue to closely monitor the status of supply and demand of the leasing market, we believe that the long-term supply and demand balance for modern logistics properties will likely be solid, backed by the fundamental demand arising from the structural reconfiguration of logistics industry in Japan.

Under these circumstances, the occupancy rate of NPR's portfolio remained high at 98.0% as of the end of the reporting fiscal period, backed by the competitive advantages of our portfolio and the strong leasing support from the sponsor, the Prologis Group.

During the reporting fiscal period, in an attempt to further enhance its unit holder value, NPR acquired Prologis Park Inagawa 2, Prologis Park Kobe 5 and Prologis Park Ebina 2 (the "Acquisitions in the 19th Fiscal Period") (total acquisition price: 57,700 million yen), all of which are Class-A logistics facilities developed by the Prologis Group, at fair value with an average NOI yield of 4.4%. This continuous external growth has further enhanced NPR's portfolio diversification and cashflow stability. Besides, the construction work of the redevelopment project of Prologis Park Iwanuma (the "Redevelopment Project"), which NPR commenced in the fiscal period ended May 2021, has been completed in April 2022 as scheduled. Accordingly, NPR has acquired the subject redeveloped building (acquisition price: 5,934 million yen) on Apr. 28, 2022.

(iii) Overview of Financing

(a) Issuance of New Investment Units

NPR issued new investment units through its public follow-on offering (84,290 units) (the "Offering"), with a payment date of Dec. 10, 2021 and through a third-party allotment (4,210 units) with a payment date of Jan. 5, 2022, with an aim to procure funds to be used for the repayment of the Bridge Loans described below in "(b) Borrowings" upon the Acquisitions in the 19th Fiscal Period. As a result of these offerings, NPR successfully raised 30,964 million yen equity capital, and the balance of NPR's unit holders' capital has increased to 457,041 million yen and the total number of units issued and outstanding has increased to 2,670,350 as of the end of the reporting fiscal period.

(b) Borrowings

NPR borrowed short-term loans of 57,100 million yen (the "Bridge loans") on Dec. 1, 2021 for the purpose of funding the Acquisitions in the 19th Fiscal Period. These Bridge loans were subsequently prepaid with the net proceeds from a short-term loan of 7,300 million yen (the "Short-Term Loan") and long-term loans of 14,000 million yen borrowed on Dec. 13, 2021, the net proceeds from the Offering described above in "(a) Issuance of New Investment Units" and cash on hand. Additionally, NPR borrowed long- term loans of 6,000 million yen on Feb. 15, 2022, long-term loans of 14,000 million yen on Mar. 31, 2022 and 10,000 million yen on Apr. 28, 2022, respectively, for the purpose of repaying existing long-term loans in the total amount of 30,000 million yen at their maturities. Besides, NPR borrowed a long-term loan of 2,000 million yen on May 30, 2022 for the purpose of partial repayment of the Short-Term Loan in the amount of 2,000 million yen. As a result, the balance of NPR's interest-bearing debt was 303,800 million yen, out of which bank borrowings accounted for 267,800 million yen and investment corporation bonds accounted for 36,000 million yen as of the end of the reporting fiscal period. NPR's loan-to-value ratio (the ratio of aggregate balance of interest-bearing debt, including bank loans and the outstanding balance of long-term and short-term investment corporation bonds, to NPR's total assets, hereinafter "LTV") was 37.9% as of the end of the reporting fiscal period.

(iv) Overview of Financial Results and Distributions

As a result of aforementioned activities, NPR generated operating revenues of 26,859 million yen, operating income of 12,077 million yen and ordinary income of 11,006 million yen. In addition, NPR recorded an extraordinary income of 324 million yen from the profit insurance payment of 148 million yen covering Prologis Park Iwanuma and the compensation income of 175 million yen by former tenants of Prologis Park Iwanuma 1 (the "Compensation Income"). As a result, NPR generated net income of 11,329 million yen for the reporting fiscal period. The amount of NPR's distributions for the reporting period was 11,330 million yen, being determined to distribute all unappropriated retained earnings for the reporting period, excluding fractions less than 1 yen. Consequently, the distributions per unit (excluding Surplus Cash Distributions ("SCD")) for the reporting fiscal period was 4,243 yen.

In addition, NPR intends to regularly distribute cash in excess of the amount of retained earnings ("Regular Surplus Cash Distributions") in each fiscal period in accordance with a distribution policy set forth in its articles of incorporation of NPR (*1). Furthermore, to maintain the stability of NPR's distributions per unit ("DPU") in the event that DPU is expected to decline to a certain degree as a result of certain events, NPR may make additional distributions as one-time surplus cash distributions ("One-time Surplus Cash Distributions") (*2) in an amount determined by NPR.

For the reporting fiscal period, the total amount of NPR's Regular Surplus Cash Distributions is 1,770 million yen, which is the amount equivalent to 30 percent of NPR's depreciation expense of 6,488 million yen for the reporting fiscal period, deducting the amount of the Compensation Income. Consequently, the total amount of SCD per unit for the reporting fiscal period was determined at 663 yen from the Regular Surplus Cash Distributions.
