ITEM 1.	BUSINESS

•	65.1 million square feet comprising 398 consolidated operating properties, including five properties totaling 1.9 million square feet classified as held for sale, that were 97.8% occupied;

•	1.0 million square feet comprising six consolidated properties developed by DCT which are shell-construction complete and in lease-up;

•	0.1 million square feet comprising one consolidated property under redevelopment;

•	1.0 million square feet comprising three consolidated value-add acquisitions; and

•	7.6 million square feet comprising 21 unconsolidated properties that were 98.4% occupied and which we operated on behalf of two unconsolidated joint ventures.

•

Maximizing Cash Flows From Existing Properties. We intend to maximize the cash flows from our existing properties by active leasing and management, maintaining strong customer relationships, controlling operating expenses and physically maintaining the quality of our properties. Renewing tenants, leasing space and effectively managing expenses are critical to achieving our objectives and are a primary focus of our local real estate teams.

•

Selectively Pursuing New Development. To create value and enhance the quality of our portfolio, we expect to continue developing new assets in select markets where strong tenant demand, rents and vacancy levels demonstrate the need for new construction at returns that make sense for the Company. During 2017, we acquired 12 land parcels for development totaling approximately 344.3 acres and we commenced construction on 19 development and redevelopment buildings comprising 4.0 million square feet with a projected investment of approximately $335.4 million. In 2017, we also stabilized six development buildings, three redevelopment buildings and three value-add acquisitions totaling 2.9 million square feet with cumulative costs of approximately $232.8 million. As of December 31, 2017, there were six shell-construction complete buildings under development totaling 1.0 million square feet, 19 projects under construction totaling approximately 4.9 million square feet and three value-add acquisitions in lease-up totaling 1.0 million square feet. All of the buildings under construction are projected to be completed during 2018.

•

Profitably Acquiring Properties. We seek to acquire properties that meet our asset, location and financial criteria at prices and potential returns which we believe are attractive. We have selected certain markets and sub-markets where we focus our efforts on identifying buildings to acquire. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we acquired five buildings comprising 1.3 million square feet located in our Chicago, Denver, Northern California, Orlando and Southern California markets for a total purchase price of approximately $129.0 million.

•	Recycling Capital. We intend to selectively dispose of non-strategic assets and redeploy the proceeds into higher growth acquisition and development opportunities. In 2017, we sold 12 consolidated operating properties for gross proceeds of approximately $115.3 million. The proceeds have been designated for deployment into new development and higher growth assets.

•	Conservatively Managing Our Balance Sheet. We plan to maintain financial metrics, including leverage and coverage ratios on a basis consistent with our investment grade ratings. We believe that a conservatively managed balance sheet provides for a competitive long-term cost of capital.

---

•

High-Quality Industrial Property Portfolio. Our portfolio of industrial properties primarily consists of high-quality bulk-distribution facilities in high demand leasing markets. Our properties are specifically designed to meet the warehousing needs of local, regional and national companies. The majority of our properties are readily divisible to take advantage of re-tenanting opportunities. We believe that our concentration of well located, high-quality bulk-distribution properties provides us with a competitive advantage in attracting and retaining distribution users across the markets in which we operate.

•	Experienced and Committed Management Team. Our executive management team collectively has an average of nearly 30 years of commercial real estate experience and 19 years of industrial real estate experience. Additionally, our executive management team has extensive public company operating experience.

•

Strong Operating Platform. We have a team of approximately 90 experienced transaction and property management professionals working in 13 offices to maximize market opportunities through local expertise, presence and relationships. We believe successfully meeting the needs of our customers and anticipating and responding to market opportunities will result in achieving superior returns from our properties as well as provide opportunities for the sourcing of new acquisitions and development opportunities.

•

Extensive Development and Redevelopment Expertise. Our local market teams have significant experience in all facets of value-add activities including development and redevelopment capabilities. We believe our local teams’ knowledge of our markets and their relationships with key market participants, including land owners, users and brokers, combined with the technical expertise required to successfully execute on complex transactions, provides us with an excellent platform to create value while appropriately managing risk.

•

Proven Acquisition and Disposition Capabilities. The Company has extensive experience in acquiring industrial real estate, including both smaller transactions as well as larger portfolio acquisitions. Our local market teams are an important advantage in sourcing potential marketed as well as off-market transactions. Further, consistent with our capital recycling strategy, we have disposed of a cumulative $2.2 billion of real estate investments since the inception of the Company.

•

Strong Industry Relationships. We believe that our extensive network of industry relationships with the brokerage and investor communities will allow us to execute successfully our development, acquisition and capital recycling strategies. These relationships augment our ability to source acquisitions in off-market transactions outside of competitive marketing processes, capitalize on development opportunities and capture repeat business and transaction activity. Our strong relationships with local and nationally focused brokers aids in attracting and retaining customers.

•

Capital Structure. Our capital structure provides us with sufficient financial flexibility and capacity to fund future growth. As of December 31, 2017, we had $164.1 million available under our $400.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility, net of two letters of credit totaling $1.9 million. As of December 31, 2017, 366 of our consolidated properties with a gross book value of $4.2 billion were unencumbered. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we also issued approximately 1.8 million shares of common stock through the continuous equity offering program, at a weighted average price of $54.48 per share for proceeds of approximately $95.5 million, net of offering expenses.

(7)	Percentage owned is based on equity ownership weighted by square feet.

(8)

Our economic interest in unconsolidated joint ventures (as distinct from our legal ownership interest) may fluctuate from time to time and may not wholly align with our legal ownership interests because of provisions in certain joint venture agreements regarding distributions of cash flow, allocations of profits and losses, payments of preferred returns and control over major decisions. Additionally, DCT Industrial does not control our unconsolidated joint ventures and the presentation of certain items, such as assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, from these unconsolidated joint ventures does not represent our legal claim or obligation for such items.

(9)	Although we contributed 100% of the initial cash equity capital required by the venture, after return of certain preferential distributions on capital invested, profits and losses are generally split 50/50.

•	For taxable years beginning before January 1, 2018, no more than 25% of the value of our assets may consist of stock or securities of one or more TRSs.  For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Act reduces this limit to 20%.

•

For purposes of the REIT asset tests for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2015, the PATH Act provides that debt instruments issued by publicly offered REITs will constitute “real estate assets.”  However, unless such a debt instrument is secured by a mortgage or otherwise would have qualified as a real estate asset under prior law, (i) interest income and gain from such a debt instrument is not qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test and (ii) all such debt instruments may represent no more than 25% of the value of our total assets.

•	For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2015, certain obligations secured by a mortgage on both real property and personal property will be treated as a qualifying real estate asset and give rise to qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test if the fair market value of such personal property does not exceed 15% of the total fair market value of all such property.

•	A 100% excise tax is imposed on “redetermined TRS service income,” which is income of a TRS attributable to services provided to, or on behalf of its associated REIT and which would otherwise be increased on distribution, apportionment, or allocation under Section 482 of the Code.

•	For distributions made in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2014, the preferential dividend rules no longer to apply to us.

•	Additional exceptions to the rules under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Act (“FIRPTA”) were introduced for non-U.S. persons that constitute “qualified shareholders” (within the meaning of Section 897(k)(3) of the Code) or “qualified foreign pension funds” (within the meaning of Section 897(l)(2) of the Code).

•	After February 16, 2016, the FIRPTA withholding rate under Section 1445 of the Code for dispositions of U.S. real property interests is increased from 10% to 15%.

•	The PATH Act increases from 5% to 10% the maximum stock ownership of the REIT that a non-U.S. shareholder may have held to avail itself of the FIRPTA exception for shares regularly traded on an established securities market.

•	For assets we acquired from a C corporation in a carry-over basis transaction, the Path Act, in conjunction with recently promulgated Treasury Regulations, reduces the recognition period during which we could be subject to corporate tax on any built-in gains recognized on the sale of such assets from 10 years to 5 years.

---

•

For tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026, (i) the U.S. federal income tax rates on ordinary income of individuals, trusts and estates have been generally reduced and (ii) non-corporate taxpayers are permitted to take a deduction for certain pass-through business income, including dividends received from REITs that are not designated as capital gain dividends or qualified dividend income, subject to certain limitations.

•

The maximum U.S. federal income tax rate for corporations has been reduced from 35% to 21%, and the alternative minimum tax has been eliminated for corporations, which would generally reduce the amount of U.S. federal income tax payable by our TRSs and by us to the extent we were subject to corporate U.S. federal income tax (for example, if we distributed less than 100% of our taxable income or recognized built-in gains in assets acquired from C corporations). In addition, the maximum withholding rate on distributions by us to non-U.S. stockholders that are treated as attributable to gain from the sale or exchange of a U.S. real property interest is reduced from 35% to 21%.

•	Certain new limitations on the deductibility of interest expense now apply, which limitations may affect the deductibility of interest paid or accrued by us or our TRSs.

•	Certain new limitations on net operating losses now apply, which limitations may affect net operating losses generated by us or our TRSs.

•	A U.S. tax-exempt stockholder that is subject to tax on its unrelated business taxable income (“UBTI”) will be required to separately compute its taxable income and loss for each unrelated trade or business activity for purposes of determining its UBTI.

•	New accounting rules generally require us to recognize income items for federal income tax purposes no later than when we take the item into account for financial statement purposes, which may accelerate our recognition of certain income items.

ITEM 6.	SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

---

---

---

---

(1)

Property NOI is defined as rental revenues, which includes expense reimbursements, less rental expenses and real estate taxes, and excludes institutional capital management fees, depreciation, amortization, casualty and involuntary conversion gain (loss), gain on disposition of real estate interests, impairment, general and administrative expenses, equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures, interest expense, interest and other income and income tax benefit (expense) and other taxes, and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. We consider property NOI to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure because property 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 amortization, depreciation, impairment, interest expense, interest and other income, income tax expense and other taxes and general and administrative expenses. However, property NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it excludes expenses which could materially impact our results of operations. Further, our property NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating property NOI. Therefore, we believe net income, as defined by GAAP, to be the most appropriate measure to evaluate our overall financial performance.

(2)

On November 17, 2014, we completed a one-for-four reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock and a corresponding reverse split of the partnership interests of the Operating Partnership.  The number of authorized shares and the par value of the common stock were not changed.  All common stock/unit and per share/unit data for all periods presented have been restated to give effect to the reverse stock split.

(3)	Includes gain on dispositions of non-depreciable assets and gains on dispositions not meeting the definition of a discontinued operation, which changed in 2014 upon the Company's adoption of accounting standard update (“ASU”) 2014–12, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.

(4)	Information for all periods presented prior to 2017 has been retroactively restated to reflect the Company's 2016 adoption of ASU 2016–18 related to the presentation of restricted cash and cash equivalents. See “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting policies” for further discussion.

(5)	Equity in FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures is determined as our share of FFO from each unconsolidated joint venture.

(6)

DCT Industrial believes that net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure.  However, DCT Industrial considers funds from operations (“FFO”), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), to be a useful supplemental, non-GAAP measure of DCT Industrial’s operating performance. NAREIT developed FFO as a relative measure of performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that the value of income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. FFO is generally defined as net income attributable to common stockholders, calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization, less gains from dispositions of operating real estate held for investment purposes, plus impairment losses on depreciable real estate and impairments of in substance real estate investments in investees that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of the depreciable real estate held by the unconsolidated joint ventures and adjustments to derive DCT Industrial’s proportionate share of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures.  We exclude gains and losses on business combinations and include the gains or losses from dispositions of properties which were acquired or developed with the intention to sell or contribute to an investment fund in our definition of FFO.  Although the NAREIT definition of FFO predates the guidance for accounting for gains and losses on business combinations, we believe that excluding such gains and losses is consistent with the key objective of FFO as a performance measure. We also present FFO, as adjusted, which excludes hedge ineffectiveness, certain severance costs, acquisition costs, debt modification costs, impairment losses on properties which are not depreciable and expense related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 impact. We believe that FFO excluding hedge ineffectiveness, certain severance costs, acquisition costs, debt modification costs, impairment losses on non-depreciable real estate and expense related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 impact is useful supplemental information regarding our operating performance as it provides a more meaningful and consistent comparison of our operating performance and allows investors to more easily compare our operating results. Readers should note that FFO captures neither the changes in the value of DCT Industrial’s properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of DCT Industrial’s properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact DCT Industrial’s results from operations. NAREIT’s definition of FFO is subject to interpretation, and modifications to the NAREIT definition of FFO are common. Accordingly, DCT Industrial’s FFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ FFO and FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) as a measure of DCT Industrial’s performance.

(7)	Effective as of January 1, 2017, the Company no longer separately records hedge ineffectiveness in earnings per the adoption of the Derivatives and Hedging ASU 2017-12.

ITEM 7.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

•	maximize cash flows from existing properties;

•	deploy capital into development and redevelopment opportunities which meet our asset, location and financial criteria; and

•	recycle capital by selling assets that no longer fit our investment criteria and reinvesting the proceeds into higher growth opportunities.

---

•	Acquisitions

•	During the year ended December 31, 2017, we acquired five buildings comprising 1.3 million square feet located in our Chicago, Denver, Northern California, Orlando and Southern California markets for a total purchase price of approximately $129.0 million. Weighted average occupancy upon the acquisition of the properties was 31.5%.

•	Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2017, we acquired land totaling approximately 344.3 acres for development in our Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, New Jersey, Northern California, Orlando, Pennsylvania and Seattle markets for approximately $57.0 million.

•	Development Activities

•	During the year ended December 31, 2017, we stabilized six development buildings, three redevelopment buildings and three value-add acquisitions totaling 2.9 million square feet in our Atlanta, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Orlando, Seattle and Southern California markets.

•

In 2017 we commenced construction on 19 development and redevelopment buildings. As of December 31, 2017, we had completed shell-construction on six buildings in our Chicago, Dallas, Denver and Miami markets totaling 1.0 million square feet with cumulative costs to date of approximately $75.3 million and a total projected investment of approximately $83.4 million. These properties were 39.0% leased based on weighted average square feet as of December 31, 2017.

•	Also, as of December 31, 2017, we had 19 projects under construction totaling 4.9 million square feet with cumulative costs to date of approximately $205.2 million and a total projected investment of approximately $404.3 million. These projects were 13.4% pre-leased as of December 31, 2017.

---

(1)	Percentage owned is based on equity ownership weighted by square feet.

(2)	The completion date represents the date of building shell-construction completion or estimated date of shell-completion.

(3)	Percentage leased is computed as of the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

•	Dispositions

•

During the year ended December 31, 2017, we sold 12 consolidated operating properties, totaling 1.5 million square feet, located in our Baltimore/Washington D.C., Cincinnati, Dallas, Louisville, Miami, Northern California, Orlando and Phoenix markets to third-parties for gross proceeds of approximately $115.3 million. We recognized gains of approximately $47.1 million on the disposition of 11 properties.

•	Debt Activity

•	During March 2017, we repaid the remaining $25.0 million outstanding on our $100.0 million term loan maturing April 2017 at par using proceeds from our senior unsecured revolving credit facility.

•

During March 2017, the Operating Partnership issued $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes due 2023 at 103.88% of face value in a public offering for net proceeds of approximately $51.2 million after offering costs and excluding accrued interest of approximately $0.9 million. The notes were issued under our indenture dated October 9, 2013 and form part of the same series as our previously issued 4.50% senior notes due 2023. We primarily used the net proceeds to pay down our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

---

•	During June 2017, we paid-off our $51.0 million senior unsecured note maturing June 2017 at par using proceeds from our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our continuous equity offering program.

•	During the year ended December 31, 2017, we paid-off four mortgage notes totaling $34.5 million maturing in 2017 at par using proceeds from our senior unsecured revolving credit facility.

•	During December 2017, we amended our existing $200.0 million variable rate senior unsecured term loan, lowering our LIBOR plus a margin 50 bps at the midpoint to between .90% to 1.75% per annum effective January 1, 2018, and based on our public debt credit rating, resulted in a fixed rate of 2.81% beginning on that date.

•	As of December 31, 2017, we had $234.0 million outstanding and $164.1 million available under our $400.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility, net of two letters of credit totaling $1.9 million

•	During May 2017, the SCLA joint venture entered into a $30.0 million secured fixed rate term note with a maturity date of May 2024. The proceeds were used to pay down a portion of the existing term note maturing in October 2017 and as a return of contributions to the joint venture partners.

•	During June 2017, the TRT-DCT Venture III disposed of its three remaining properties. We received approximately $2.7 million for our share of the gross proceeds and recognized our share of the gain on the sale of approximately $1.2 million, which is included in "Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures, net" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

•

During July 2017, the SCLA joint venture entered into a $13.5 million secured variable rate term note which bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 2.50% per annum with a maturity date of July 2024. The proceeds were used to return contributions to the joint venture partners. During August 2017, the SCLA joint venture entered into a pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap which effectively fixed the interest rate on the related debt instrument at 4.55% with a maturity date of July 2024.

•	In October 2017, the SCLA joint venture entered into an agreement to extend the maturity date of its $61.0 million secured construction loan from October 2017 to October 2019.

•

On September 10, 2015, we registered a continuous equity offering program, to replace our continuous equity offering program previously registered on May 29, 2013, whereby the Company may issue 5.0 million shares of common stock, at a par value of $0.01 per share, from time-to-time through September 10, 2018 in “at-the-market” offerings or certain other transactions. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we issued approximately 1.8 million shares of common stock through the continuous equity offering program, at a weighted average price of $54.48 per share for proceeds of approximately $95.5 million, net of offering expenses. The proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock were contributed to the Operating Partnership for an equal number of OP units in the Operating Partnership and were used for general corporate purposes, including funding developments and redevelopments. As of December 31, 2017, approximately 0.7 million shares of common stock remain available to be issued under the current offering.

•

$18.8 million increase in total revenues in our non-same-store portfolio, of which $26.2 million is attributed to eight operating property acquisitions, three value-add acquisitions and 28 development, redevelopment properties and value-add acquisitions placed into our operating portfolio since January 1, 2016, offset in part by a $7.4 million decrease attributed to 27 consolidated property dispositions since January 1, 2016.

•	$11.2 million increase in total revenues in our annual same-store portfolio primarily due to the following:

•	$17.7 million increase in base rent primarily resulting from increased rental rates and a 40 basis point increase in average occupancy period over period;

•	$3.3 million increase in operating expense recoveries related to higher average occupancy and increases in property tax expense; and

•	$1.0 million increase in early lease termination fees in 2017; which was partially offset by

•	$9.7 million decrease in straight-line rental revenue;

•	$0.6 million decrease in miscellaneous income primarily due to higher move-out repairs in 2016 compared to the same period in 2017; and

•	$0.5 million decrease in below market rent adjustments.

•	$1.6 million increase in developments, redevelopments, and value-add acquisitions total revenues primarily attributed to two development properties and two value-add acquisitions that were not stabilized at 61.0% occupancy as of December 31, 2017.

(1)	Reflects leases executed during the periods presented. Excludes leases with a term shorter than one year.

(2)	Net effective rent is the average monthly base rental income over the term of the lease, calculated on a straight-line basis.

(3)

Straight-line basis rent growth reflects the percentage change in net effective rent of the lease executed during the period compared to the net effective rent of the prior lease on the same space (holdover payments are excluded). All net effective rents are compared on a net basis. Net effective rent under gross or similar type leases are converted to net effective rent based on an estimate of the applicable recoverable expenses.

(4)	Assumes no exercise of lease renewal options, if any.

(5)

Property NOI is defined as rental revenues, which includes expense reimbursements, less rental expenses and real estate taxes, and excludes institutional capital management fees, depreciation, amortization, casualty and involuntary conversion gain (loss), development profit, net of taxes, gain on disposition of real estate interests, impairment, general and administrative expenses, equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures, interest expense, interest and other income and income tax benefit (expense) and other taxes, and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. We consider property NOI to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure because property 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 amortization, depreciation, impairment, interest expense, interest and other income, income tax expense and other taxes and general and administrative expenses. However, property NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it excludes expenses which could materially impact our results of operations. Further, our property NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating property NOI. Therefore, we believe net income, as defined by GAAP, to be the most appropriate measure to evaluate our overall financial performance.
