speaker
Hector Ibarzabal
Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Ale, and good morning, everyone. Let me begin by addressing the macroeconomic environment we are operating in. Trade uncertainty has increased from already elevated levels last quarter. Formal trade agreements between the U.S. and other countries remains unclear. A 30% tariff on all Mexican imports not compliant with the USMCA has been announced to take effect in August. This environment has led many export-oriented manufacturing customers, particularly those near the border, to put their new plans on hold. However, our manufacturing portfolio continues to outperform the market in terms of occupancy, a clear reflection of our differentiated customer service, strong property management, and strategic real estate location. At the same time, and by design, we maintain sector-leading exposure to key consumption-driven markets, notably Mexico City and Guadalajara, which deliver very strong performance during the quarter. Thanks to this solid diversification, Fibra Prologis delivered strong financial and outstanding operational results, and we maintain clear visibility getting into the second half of the year. Jorge will provide more details shortly. Let me now touch on what we are hearing directly from customers and brokers in the field. As we highlighted in our last call, we have seen a pickup in interest from select manufacturing sectors, particularly electronics and after April 2nd. However, Trade clarity remains a critical factor influencing decision-making for new projects. While interest remains, customers are more cautious, and material commitments are likely to take longer in the absence of resolution of global trade terms. On the other hand, demand coming from the consumption segment remains healthy. We continue to see a strong activity from e-commerce customers seeking a space to support ongoing growth. Competition for space, especially modern large-format facilities, remains intense. Despite expectations of flat GDP growth this year, vacancy and rental growth in consumption-led markets continue to perform exceptionally well. Turning now to overall market dynamics, New leasing activity totaled 5 million square feet, below the 2024 average of 11 million, largely due to softer demand in manufacturing regions. Notably, most of the leasing in those areas came from smaller expansions or first-time suppliers, typically requiring less space. Net absorption came in at 10 million square feet, consistent with the 2024 average. and was boosted by the delivery of several large release spaces in Mexico City, Monterrey, and Guadalajara, mainly to e-commerce customers. New supply reached 15 million square feet, the highest level on record, leading to an 80 basis points increase in vacancy, now at 4.9%, slightly above the 10-year average of 3.6%. Construction starts were 8 million square feet and are down 40% year-to-date, as developers have reduced the pace of new projects in the border. As we mentioned last quarter, overall market rent growth has flattened, but trends remain highly market-specific. Mexico City and Guadalajara continue to show a strong rent growth, approaching double digits. In contrast, Juarez is on track to post a mid double-digit decline by year end. Most other markets remain generally stable. In terms of asset values, quarterly appreciation was modest, but positive at around 1%. In summary, while the external environment remains challenging, particularly with ongoing trade uncertainty and reduced manufacturing momentum at the border, Our portfolio continues to demonstrate resilience. This is driven by our strategic exposure to consumption-led markets and disciplined operational execution. We expect to close the year on a strong note, both operationally and financially. And with a robust balance sheet, we remain well positioned to act on new opportunities as they arise. We are cautiously optimistic and remain closely aligned with evolving tenant sentiment and policy developments. Above all, we stay committed to delivering long-term value to our shareholders. With that, I will hand the call over to Jorge, who will walk you through the quarter's financial and operational highlights.

speaker
Jorge Giró
Chief Financial Officer

Thank you, Hector, and good morning, everyone. We are pleased to share that our second quarter results exceeded internal expectations. This strong performance highlights the tenacity of our team, the strength of our strategy, and the quality of our balance sheet and portfolio in challenging environments. While year-over-year comparisons are influenced by the Terrapin acquisition, the benefits of this transaction are clearly reflected in our results. Let's begin with the financial. FFO came in at $93.8 million, or 59 cents per CBFI, which represents a 21% increase versus last year. A FFO total $77 million, up 38% year-over-year, mainly driven by the successful integration of Terafina. We also had a strong quarter operationally. We leased 2.1 million square feet right on target. Occupancy remained high. ending the quarter at 97.7%, with an average occupancy of 98.2%, both exceeding expectations. Tender retention reached 86%, well above our internal goals. Net effective rent change on rollover hit a record high of 68%, showing the execution ability of our team and the strength of our mark-to-market strategy. While same-store cash NOI was reflected relative flat, GAAP NOI rose 5%, reflecting healthy rent growth and built-in escalation, despite some FX headwinds. Regarding our balance sheet, our balance sheet remains solid. We successfully refinanced short-term debt with long-term loans under FEBRA prologies, improving liquidity, extending maturity, and lowering our relative cost of debt. A similar strategy is in motion for Terratina. In terms of impact and sustainability, also known as ESG, we're proud to share our new annual impact and sustainability report, which is now available with enhanced disclosure that better reflects our progress and long-term commitments. I would like to now spend a moment on the integration of Terrapina. We're just a few weeks away from the first anniversary of the successful Terrapina acquisition. and it's a great opportunity to reflect on what we have accomplished. As of December 1st, 2024, we took over all systems and fully assumed operational control. We've integrated all Prologis markets and replaced third-party managers as applicable. We will continue to reduce costs during the year by eliminating certain third-party services among other efficiencies. On the revenue side, with a cheap rent increase on rollovers that are about three times higher than what the raffine achieved on its own. All of this is consistent with our initial projection and in line with our original underwriting. To put it in perspective, if we have selected raffine operations, FFO per CBFI is now approximately 10% higher than what it was before the acquisition. With this, let me to update you on the C Banco situation Terafina trustee. After Holder's approval last July 11 regarding change of trustee, we expect that C Banco transition will be completed in the next two to six weeks. Terafina operations remain unaffected. We ensure timely delivery on all obligations without any disruption. Let me now change gears to guidance. Because of the strong performance and positive outlook of our portfolio, we have updated our 2025 guidance as follows. We raised our FFO per certificate range from 20 to 22 cents up to 22 to 24 cents, which is a 9.5% increase to the midpoint. We're keeping the rest of the guidance unchanged, which you can find on page eight of our supplemental financial information. We are closer than ever to our customers. Policy stability and established trade agreements will be key drivers of new demand. In closing, I want to recognize our teams in the ground for their outstanding execution this quarter. We remain laser focused on our long-term strategy and ready to adapt as needed, guided by discipline and corporate agility. Thank you. I will now turn back to Krista for Q&A.

Thank you. We will now begin with the question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad to raise your hand and join the queue. And if you'd like to withdraw your question, again, press star one. We do ask that you limit yourself to one question. For any additional questions, please re-queue. And your first question comes from Alexandra Obregon with Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.

speaker
Alexandra Obregon
Equity Research Analyst, Morgan Stanley

Hi, good morning, everyone. Thank you, Prologisteam, for taking my question. I guess I was trying to look at record net effective rent change of nearly 70% and perhaps understand a little bit better how much of this is renewal versus new business. If you can also help us perhaps understand how much of this is coming from the legacy feudal prologies versus the Rafina market. And of course, if you can help us square the impressive spread in Juarez versus the vacancies in the state and the trends that you guys mentioned earlier in this particular one, it's quite impressive. Thank you.

speaker
Federico Cantu
Head of Operations

Thank you, Alexandra. This is Federico Cantu. As it relates to our net effective rents and a rent change, a record rent change, that came primarily from renewals. As you can see, most of the activity had to do with renewals on the over 2 million square feet. And our teams have been quite focused on making sure that we mark to market our leases upon every renewal. In Juarez, we continue to have good mark-to-market in our leases, despite some adjustments in market rents there in that market. As Eko mentioned, we've had some double-digit adjustments there, but we still have a positive mark-to-market in that market. And, again, most of the leasing activity, two-thirds of that was in Mexico City and Guadalajara, where we have the strongest fundamentals. So with our current flea market in the portfolio is 44% across our six markets. So we expect to continue to harvest good rent change into the future.

speaker
Hector Ibarzabal
Chief Executive Officer

One comment, Alejandra, regarding Ciudad Juarez. With incorporation of the Terrafina portfolio on a long-term hold, now we have 12.5 million square feet in Ciudad Juarez, and that converts Prologis as a clear market leader in the market. When you have this leadership position, you have a permanent competitive advantage as all of the transactions, the new ones, the renewals, potential expansions, et cetera, you know all of them, no couture door. So today, more than ever in Ciudad Juarez, we have a very clear understanding of the sentiment of customers and potential new business.

speaker
Alexandra Obregon
Equity Research Analyst, Morgan Stanley

Thank you, Hector. Thank you, Federico. That was very clear.

Your next question comes from the line of Rodolfo Ramos with Bradesco BBI. Please go ahead.

speaker
Rodolfo Ramos
Analyst, Bradesco BBI

Thank you, Hector, Jorge, Alex, Federico. Thanks for the space for questions, and congratulations on the results. My question is a little bit of a follow-up. The current state of demand and your view on rental adjustments ahead of what seems to be a very important period for lease expiration, and your portfolio has performed better than the market, but we're still caught in this context that you described, Hector, of Mexico's negotiation, these tariffs. I just want to get a sense of what kind of pickup in activity do you foresee in uh, in these next 12 months, you know, once we clear these, um, these negotiations, we, we, which we as a house have remained optimistic. And also, can you talk about any preliminary discussions with your existing clients ahead of, uh, you know, next year's, um, this year and next year's, uh, expirations? Thank you.

speaker
Hector Ibarzabal
Chief Executive Officer

Thank you. Thank you, Rodolfo. And, um, you know, your question is a very difficult question as, uh, it has, uh, as a fundamental when this trade uncertainty is going to end. Our conversations with customers make us be confident that the projects that they are chasing and that it's today a standby pipeline is comprised by projects that have not been canceled. And I think that this is a very important point. Those projects are just waiting for definitions in order to be able to get their final approvals. And actually, we have a very active interaction with customers trying to update costs and trying to exchange ideas on when and how this situation is going to be solved. The particularly momentum that we're facing reminds me a little bit what happened in the pandemic days. because on the pandemic days all the activity was placed on hold as nobody really knew what was happening. And as the situation got under control, and particularly when the vaccines went out in the market, there was an immediate recognition of the project. I think that probably in a different magnitude, but this situation is what is going to be happening once that the final agreement between the Mexico and in the U.S. is reached about our trading situation. Projects will keep on being feasible as Mexico will remain with a competitive advantage no matter what is the final number of tariffs, and this is important, a very important factor. Our location is not being modified, and our availability of efficient labor hands is right there. So I'm very optimistic that once that the definition is reached under this trade uncertainty, that most of these projects are going to be reactivated, and not only Prologis, but all of the market will start receiving a lot of requests for new space. This does not necessarily need to wait until 2026. This is just waiting for definition. Hopefully, definitions are to be reached before their end. This is our view.

speaker
Federico Cantu
Head of Operations

If I may add to what Hector mentioned, in our conversations with our customers, we'd say they're increasingly looking past the headlines and planning for the long term. In what has been an evolution of their thinking over the last few months where, as we know, the headlines constantly change. Interesting to note, some data points are showings over the summer, which typically tends to be a softer season, are actually higher than last year's. So we're encouraged to see that activity in our spaces, as well as proposal volume is actually pretty healthy. So I do feel that there is pent-up demand building, and there is that – as Prologis mentioned in the earnings call, you know, water building up in the dam, I do feel there is that activity that will be released once we have a bit more certainty as to the trade landscape. Great. Thank you. Very useful.

speaker
Krista
Conference Operator

Your next question comes from the line of Pablo Raquel with Etal. Please go ahead.

speaker
Pablo Raquel
Analyst, Etal

Hi. Good morning, Prologis team. I have two questions. The first one is very quick. I don't know if you can provide an update on the listing. I don't know if there's something new in that branch. And the other one is on that retention rate, which is on the quarter. I don't know if you can talk us, walk us through, what are your negotiations evolving with your tenants? That's it.

speaker
Hector Ibarzabal
Chief Executive Officer

Yeah, I will answer your first question, Pablo, and Federico will take the second one. Today we are very busy and we are fully concentrated on executing what we anticipated we were going to do with Terrafina. I feel very pleased about the stabilization and actually some of an important part of the rent change that we're showing is part of what we offered when we were trying to get such transaction. We have full operational control We can take any kind of disposition or listening decision, and it is there where we are concentrated. I think that eventually the terrafina final privatization will happen, but as of today, we want to concentrate on what is under our control, which is on the operational side.

speaker
Federico Cantu
Head of Operations

And hello, Pablo. Thank you for your question. On the second part of it, As you can see, you know, this year we've had very high retention, which is a reflection, as Hector mentioned in the opening remarks, of the diligence and talent of our teams, our top locations in our markets. And I must say our diligence in locating in the best of markets in every city that we're in is reflected in this great performance. And, of course, our platform, our teams on the ground do a phenomenal job. So it's all about staying in front of the customers and understanding their business. In this environment with high uncertainty, customers that are already operating and serving their markets are staying put and are planning, like I said, companies plan for the long term, have that long-term vision, and we're bullish on Mexico in terms of our precision vis-a-vis trade with the U.S. and being the number one trading partner. So this is a result, again, of just being in front of and having the best customer service out in the market. We're optimistic in our conversations with our customers as far as what they see. But again, in this environment with uncertainty, new spaces are probably the ones that are more muted. But we do expect, as we get certainty, for that activity to reignite.

speaker
Krista
Conference Operator

Your next question comes from the line of Francisco Suarez with Scotiabank. Please go ahead.

speaker
Francisco Suarez
Analyst, Scotiabank

Thank you. Good morning. Congrats for the earnings chance. Very well done. The question that I have relates with the decisions on PLD in Mexico in terms of overall starts. It's been a year since the company hasn't made any new starts. And the question that I have is because I already saw that PLD also cancel the, sorry, they actually expect zero deliveries for the rest of the years of new facilities. So I think that what I want to know and understand is if this is entirely linked to overall uncertainties related with precisely USMCA trade and everything, or if there is anything that doesn't allow you to develop the properties, namely lack of energy, permits, whatever. Thank you.

speaker
Hector Ibarzabal
Chief Executive Officer

Thank you. Thank you for your questions, Paco. The short answer to your concern is related 100% to market conditions. PLD is eager to keep on doing things in Mexico, And I think that one of the competitive advantages that we have is that we have the ability to stop and to reignite development very rapidly. Today, the same situations that our customers are facing with uncertainty of what the final reconfiguration of the supply chain is going to be is affecting as well any potential decision of starting any speculative building. Actually, it's not only Prologis the one taking these kind of actions. Most of the speculative development has been placed on hold until a definition and the final conditions are known. Regarding PLD, I want to reiterate that we have all the support that Mexico today is one of the best performing markets that they have. And if you analyze the PLD information, you will notice that there was an important increase on built-to-suit opportunities. Built-to-suit opportunities are coming from customers that are not being able to find in the market the needs that they have from space. And in Mexico as well, they are not reflected in the numbers, but we are currently working on two or three important built-to-suit opportunities as well. It is not because of the lack of energy. It is not because of the lack of confidence in the market. It is just the moment that the market is facing.

speaker
Gordon Lee
Analyst, BTG Pactual

much your next question comes from the line of gordon lee with btg please go ahead hi thank you very much for the call um two two quick ones the first um and and this may be a question for hector for federico i was wondering if you could give us a little color of how you're feeling about monterrey um it's seen obviously a slippage in occupancy year to date And from what I understand, there's a very significant amount of inventory that's going to hit the market over the next six to 12 months. So I was wondering how you feel about the resiliency of that market, which is obviously a core national market and a core market for you as well. And then just one quick one for Jorge. I was wondering, Jorge, why you decided to keep the distributions guidance unchanged in spite of raising the FFO guidance. Thank you.

speaker
Federico Cantu
Head of Operations

Thank you, Gordon, for your question. So talking about Monterrey, as you probably know, Monterrey benefits from having both manufacturing and logistics dynamics and demand. So we are seeing activity across both of those sectors. We've had showings. So we feel good about the prospects of that market. We continue to outperform the overall vacancy in that market. We did have But I would point towards, you know, very healthy occupancy at over 95%. And let's bear in mind, you know, pre-pandemic levels, you know, 95 was a very good occupancy. So we're slightly above that. And with the activity that we're seeing across various sectors, we feel good about the second half of the year and into next year.

speaker
Jorge Giró
Chief Financial Officer

Gordon, thank you for making a question. the financials i mean the way you have to see the dividend uh to give you some background i mean we increase 6.4 percent of the dividend in dollar terms versus 2024 and yeah i i kind of agree that increasing the dividend though it sounds appealing and the results are strong and supported it is also true that uh you know we're selling half of the rapina portfolio and eventually starting next year there's going to be some debt refinancing To this extent, we will be recycling capital. This process, as you now know, takes some time. So we want to be prudent with our dividend distribution, as we always have been, and give you certainty, give the market certainty on our guidance.

speaker
Krista
Conference Operator

That's it. Your next question comes from the line of Jarell Gulati with Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead.

speaker
Jarell Gulati
Analyst, Goldman Sachs

Good morning. Thank you for taking my question. I wanted to address the decline in occupancy we saw in this quarter. So it was nearly 100 basis points. We saw this was concentrated in three markets. So Monterey declined 300 basis points, Guadalajara 300, Reynosa 180 basis points. I mean, when I look, and this is just referred to, right, that you still are at a fairly strong occupancy level at the high 90s. But I just want to understand what happened in these three markets. Is it just one-offs and move-outs? And how do you expect leasing to proceed for these three markets going forward?

speaker
Hector Ibarzabal
Chief Executive Officer

Thank you. Thank you, Yarel, for your question. One of the strengths that Frida Prology has is a real estate strategy. We have a very balanced diversification between consumption and earsharing. Both of them comprise the industrial real estate world in Mexico, but the two of them eventually could obey two different fundamentals. In the last couple of years, the fundamentals in the border were very strong. because of these important nearshoring activities. Today, what is happening is that the border markets, including a little bit Monterrey, which is a hybrid market, is facing uncertainty because of this lack of definitions that we have been talking during this call. I think that the fundamentals are very strong, location, access to labor, and the complexity of the already established supply chain where most of this investment is coming from the U.S. So eventually, as these definitions take place, and we have seen how definitions eventually get solved in just a weekend, as it happened last weekend between Europe and the United States. So I'm optimistic that once these definitions are reached, the new demand, which is what is driving vacancy up, will reignite, and the markets that we are referring to will go back to their wrong rate dynamic of occupancy. Federico mentioned in the previous answer, you know, the occupancy that we are showing makes us to be very proud about the performance of our teams on the ground. I mean, a diversified portfolio is the one that we have. showing these levels of occupancy, believe me, above market, I think that speaks very highly about the job that the teams are doing on the field. On the consumption side, which is a different story, we are seeing the two most important e-commerce players more active than ever. The two big players are showing and are working on important plans And PLD, with the exclusive relation that has with Fibra Prologis, is very active on trying to entertain those needs. So I think that on the consumption and the e-commerce front, there will be positive news that are not going to be hitting the 2025 numbers, but they will be impacting the 2026 figures.

Your next question comes from the line of Adrian Warczak with JP Morgan. Please go ahead.

speaker
Adrian Warczak
Analyst, JP Morgan

Thank you. Thank you for that response, Hector. Just a follow-up on the previous question. You can just give a few details on the companies that did not renew, the reasons, the sectors that they are in and the reasons why they did not renew.

speaker
Hector Ibarzabal
Chief Executive Officer

I had a little trouble understanding. Could you repeat? The final part, which specific aspects are you interested?

speaker
Adrian Warczak
Analyst, JP Morgan

Sure, Hector. I just wanted to have more details on those tenants that did not renew and explain the drop in coupons. Any more data you can provide on the reasons why they left and which sectors they were focusing on, et cetera?

speaker
Federico Cantu
Head of Operations

Yes, Adrian. Thank you for your question. So it's a diverse mix, some of them in consumption, some of them in manufacturing markets. A couple were 3PLs. We had one that was a customer default that we took control of the space. But, again, you know, nothing specific, and it mostly related to consolidations.

speaker
Jorge Giró
Chief Financial Officer

Andrea, just let me – this is Jorge. Sorry for jumping in. Just let me give you some – Since IPO back in June 2014, only five clients have less space because of rent increase. That gives you some clarity on why they leave. Most of them leave because of either we don't have the space, they need more space, or M&A activity on their part. Thank you.

speaker

Your next question comes from the line of Enrique Cantu with GBM. Please go ahead.

speaker
Enrique Cantu
Analyst, GBM

Hello, everybody, and thank you for the call and for taking my question. My question is about the intent to sell around 50% of Terra VLA. What cap rate range do you expect? What is the likely timeline you see? And how will you prioritize the proceeds?

speaker
Hector Ibarzabal
Chief Executive Officer

Thank you very much, Enrique, for your question. We continue to make steady progress on our disposition process. The full portfolio has been segmented into five equivalent portfolios that allow us to pursue a more flexible approach and minimize risks at the same time. We have selected several third-party advisors to manage the deal. And while we are not in a position to share further specifics at this time, such as expected cap rates, we remain very positive with investors' response received at this point. Our guidance show that we might be showing some disposition progress before year end, but this is related as well, you know, to some approvals that we need to reach. before participating in the process. So some concrete activity should be seen either before year end or in the first quarter of next year.

speaker
Jorge Giró
Chief Financial Officer

In terms of use of capital proceeds, Enrique, I mean, we want to recycle capital. We want to invest in our core markets. That, as I said in one of the questions, in the answers, takes a little bit of time. In the short term, we will be paying short-term debt in terra fina. and to the extent that is required, making the distributions that are by law.

speaker
Enrique Cantu
Analyst, GBM

That's it. All right. That's really clear. Thank you very much.

Your next question comes from the line of David Soto with Scotiabank. Please go ahead.

speaker
David Soto
Analyst, Scotiabank

Hi. Thanks for taking my question. Just a follow-up question regarding to your guidance. Could you please share if the driver for Revising upwards your FFO pressure guidance was driven by the delay of the other disposition, or do you expect better performance across your market?

speaker
Jorge Giró
Chief Financial Officer

Thank you, David. It was hard hearing you, but what I heard is we increased our FFO guidance, and that's related to not selling the assets yet and the performance. It's a little bit of both. I mean, the performance of our corporate portfolio is one thing. And as you saw, 68%, I mean, that's a record rent increase on rollover, high occupancy, et cetera, has been very strong. And that's part of the reason. And the other one, obviously, if we, the more it takes to sell a portfolio, the more FFO you generate, that's only math. And it's a matter of time. Everything takes process. takes time in this world of taking these kind of decisions. So it's a mix of both, David. Perfect. Thanks, Jorge. Congratulations.

Your next question comes from the line of Piero Trota with Citi. Please go ahead.

speaker
Piero Trota
Analyst, Citi

Hi, team. Thank you for the call. I have two questions. The first one is a quick question. A quick one. The difference between the NOI cash and the NOI net effective would be related to grace period of rent free for tenants, right? Could you confirm that for me? And the second one is about the guidance. It implies a midpoint for same store NOI cash around between 4% and 7%. So should we see this indicator accelerating in the second half of the year? and if you could walk us through the reasons why, the rationale. Thank you.

speaker
Jorge Giró
Chief Financial Officer

Thank you, Piero. This is Jorge. Your first question wasn't on the cash. Yes, it's related to the net effective rent on the cash. The difference is straight line rent. That's the main difference. And the other one on guidance, you have to take into consideration two things. One is FX. Last year, if you remember the first half of last year, FX was at 17 or below 17 pesos per dollar. These first half have to do, it's around 19 pesos, or close to 19 pesos, maybe 20, 19, et cetera. So if you take the same store cash FX neutral, the same store cash for this year would have been around 4%. So what we see in the second half is that FX is going to be around what it was in the last year, in the second half of last year. So it's going to be more neutralized, the effect of the best of the evaluation. In that sense, we do expect to get to the 4% to 7% range given the second half of the year. Thank you, Piero.

Your next question comes from the line of Alan Amesias with Bank of America. Please go ahead.

speaker
Alan Amesias
Analyst, Bank of America

Hi. Good morning. Thank you for the call. Just a quick question on if you have seen any changes in the new government versus the previous government in terms of, I guess, policies or infrastructure or security in the regarding the industry. Are there more positives or negatives, or is it the same level of support to the industry? Thank you.

speaker
Hector Ibarzabal
Chief Executive Officer

Thank you for your question, Alan. There's only one difference from the land to the sky. The support that we have been receiving from the current administration is humongously more powerful than, you know, basically the lack of answers that we received during the previous administration. Development of industrial parks is part of the priorities of President Sheinbaum, and I think that she's acting accordingly. She has appointed Marcelo Everard, our Minister of Economy, as the ambassador to try to solve all the different aspects and all the different challenges that we have in front of us. Today, I can tell you that there's an open dialogue. There is committees that work permanently trying to solve infrastructure, access, security in highways, entitlement, regulation, et cetera. And I'm part of the board of the Mexican Association of Industrial Parks, and I think that we are very active in this regard, and we are very pleased with the responses and the action plans the authorities are taking. Some of these aspects of energy and security are going to take some time to get told, but at least I'm confident that all of them are moving in the right direction.

speaker
Antoine Mortibello
Analyst, GBM

Hi, guys. Thanks for taking my question and congrats on your results. I just have two quick ones. One is, aside from the dispositions you're trying to do from Terra's portfolio, I mean, are there any tenants or sectors you're actively trying to reduce exposure to or you're trying to avoid, and also just would like to understand a little bit better how are tenant demands evolving, maybe in terms of, more so on the operational side, maybe in terms of what kind of infrastructure are they asking for, maybe in terms of ESG and all of that. Thank you.

speaker
Hector Ibarzabal
Chief Executive Officer

Thank you. Thank you for your question, Anton. To leave a space For Prologis, we take that decision very seriously. We make very effective financial credit analysis of all and each one of our customers. And believe it or not, we reject, I would say, probably 10 to 20% of the potential business that we could have just because we do not feel comfortable with the financial conditions of our potential customers. we're very clear on this we act like if we were a bank we are not lending money but we are lending a building that might be worth 20 30 35 million dollars we're not receiving any interest but we're receiving rent coming from our customers uh that's why we keep always our receivables uh way below the standard so uh we do not and uh our customers they do have the obligation to present to us an update on their financial performance every year. So when we see that the customer might be facing difficulties because the market is changing or the financial situation is changing, we try to anticipate and we design a preventive action plan and not a corrective action plan. So we do not have any specific concern about any specific customer at this point of time regarding prologies, and I will pass the word to Federico to provide a little bit more column.

speaker
Federico Cantu
Head of Operations

Yeah, so on tenant demand, starting off with the consumption markets, particularly in Mexico City, Guadalajara, I know we're seeing, and as Hector mentioned, very encouraging signs of activity and firm activity from e-commerce and retail, you know, driven by domestic consumption. You know, with very, you know, just standard warehouse space with not much in terms of energy requirements. In the border markets, and Monterrey included, you know, we're seeing some activity across various sectors, electronics, durable goods, to mention a couple. You know, we're seeing good terms, as you can see in our WALT. We're achieving good lease terms. Also seeing activity on logistics, both related to consumption, particularly in Monterrey, as well as, you know, supporting manufacturing. And even seeing some trends of manufacturers optimizing their spaces and taking out of their operations the warehouse components, sometimes outsourcing. So that is a trend that we continue to observe and activity across that sector. As it relates to just sustainable initiatives, we're making progress in solar implementation and offering our customers through qualified supply 100% renewable energy. So we're seeing interest from companies in going green, and we can support that as part of our program and qualified supply. So all in all, again, just speaking to some of the trends that we're observing. And thank you, Anton.
