 imposition of significant tariffs or other trade restrictions by the U.S. on imported goods could adversely impact trading volumes and global supply chains and thereby decrease demand for our properties. In addition, the anticipation of these issues could result in a decrease in demand for our properties.

Natural disasters could adversely impact our results.

Natural disasters, including earthquakes, storms, tornados, floods and hurricanes, could impact our properties. Incurring losses, costs or business interruptions related to natural disasters may adversely affect our operating and financial results.

We are exposed to the potential direct and indirect impacts of climate change. 

We are exposed to physical risks from changes in climate. Our properties, especially the properties near seaports, may be exposed to rare catastrophic weather events, such as severe storms, drought, earthquakes, floods, wildfires or other extreme weather events. If the frequency of extreme weather events increases, our exposure to these events could increase and could impact our tenants' operations and their ability to pay rent. We carry comprehensive insurance coverage to mitigate our casualty risk, in amounts and of a kind that we believe are appropriate for the markets where each of our properties and their business operations are located given climate change risk.

We may be adversely impacted in the future by potential impacts to the supply chain or stricter energy efficiency standards or greenhouse gas regulations for the commercial building sectors. Compliance with new laws or regulations relating to climate change, including compliance with “green” building codes, may require us to make improvements to our existing properties or result in increased operating costs that we may not be able to effectively pass on to our tenants. Any such laws or regulations could also impose substantial costs on our tenants, thereby impacting the financial condition of our tenants and their ability to meet their lease obligations and to lease or re-lease our properties. We cannot give any assurance that other such conditions do not exist or may not arise in the future. The potential impacts of climate change on our real estate properties could adversely affect our ability to lease, develop or sell such properties or to borrow using such properties as collateral.
