# Logistics REITs Industry

## Direct Answer

110 SEC filers are classified under the Standard Industrial Classification code that describes the logistics reits industry, and their latest annual reports show $180.6 billion of combined revenue and a median operating margin of 20.0%. Investors should still evaluate its revenue model, industry-specific KPIs, valuation framework and the risks that can change the group's economics.

## Industry Overview

Logistics REITs own distribution centers, fulfillment warehouses and last-mile sites near population centers, leased to retailers, carriers and logistics companies. Rents depend on supply, location and e-commerce. The first numbers to compare across companies here are occupancy, rent growth on new leases and same-store net operating income.

## Key Industry Metrics

- **Occupancy**: The share of distribution space that is leased. High occupancy supports rent growth, while falling occupancy after new supply suggests softening demand.
- **Rent growth on new leases**: The change in rent on newly signed leases compared with prior rent. It shows whether space is being re-leased above or below the old rent.
- **Same-store net operating income**: Rent less operating costs on buildings owned in both periods. It excludes acquisitions and development to show underlying performance.
- **Development yield**: Expected annual income divided by the cost of new facilities. A yield above market cap rates implies value creation if leasing and costs go to plan.
- **Funds from operations per share**: Net income with depreciation added back and sale gains removed, divided by shares. It is the main REIT earnings measure and the basis for dividend comparisons.

## Primary Macro Drivers

- **E-commerce growth**: Online orders need fulfillment space near customers, so growth shows in occupancy and rent growth on new leases.
- **Trade and inventory levels**: Imports, exports and inventory levels decide space needs, shown in occupancy and leasing spreads.
- **New supply**: New buildings in a market compete for tenants and can limit rent growth, shown in occupancy and NOI.
- **Interest rates**: Higher rates raise financing costs and required yields, shown in valuation and development yield.

## Major Risks

- **Overbuilding and tenant inventory cuts**: Too many new buildings or tenants shedding inventory leave space empty, so watch occupancy and leasing spreads.
- **Customer concentration**: A few large tenants can account for much of rent, so one leaving moves occupancy and NOI.
- **Higher rates**: A rise in borrowing costs lowers property values and lifts interest expense on refinanced debt, so compare maturities with funds from operations per share.
- **Construction costs**: Rising materials and labor lower development yield, so watch pipeline disclosures.
