[Management View]
Peakstone Realty Trust (PKST) has successfully transitioned to an industrial-only REIT, with over 60% of annualized base rent (ABR) now derived from industrial assets. The company has strategically sold office properties and focused on industrial outdoor storage (iOS) leasing and acquisitions. Management emphasized the importance of strengthening liquidity, disciplined office divestitures, and proactive iOS leasing in their ongoing transformation strategy.

[Outlook]
Management declined to provide forward guidance due to ongoing portfolio transitions. However, they expressed confidence in their strategy, supported by strong supply and demand fundamentals in the iOS sector. The company plans to use proceeds from remaining office asset sales to further reduce debt and invest in iOS opportunities.

[Q&A Highlights]
Question 1: From the prepared remarks, it sounds like you will pay down an additional $250 to $300 million of debt. When should we expect an acceleration in iOS acquisitions, or are current levels a good run rate for that?
Answer: We have ample liquidity and our debt ratios are below long-term targets. We will continue to be disciplined in managing our growth and strengthening our balance sheet. We have reduced our leverage ratio to 5.4%, giving us some leeway.

Question 2: Have you seen any increased competition for the iOS assets? If so, are you seeing the same private buyers or maybe even REIT players potentially?
Answer: There is more acceptance of iOS assets, and the lender community has been more accepting. This trend seems to be continuing.

Question 3: Another quarter of strong same-store NOI growth. As you implement your optimization, what do you see as a sustainable same-store NOI growth for the portfolio? And when do you think you could start guiding around that?
Answer: We are not providing guidance at this time due to significant changes in our business. However, we provide a fair amount of information and metrics in our reports to help you understand our growth.

Question 4: Another quarter of solid leasing, with some nice lease spreads and strong escalations. Can you explain the tenant improvement dollars and the return on the money you are putting in?
Answer: We have been surprised at how little money we have had to spend outside of our redevelopment opportunities. We have achieved many deals with no tenant improvements and very little downtime, which has proven the attributes of iOS.

Question 5: I think you mentioned that you have around $300 million to $350 million from office sales to pay down the debt. Is that additional $300 million of asset sales in the fourth quarter?
Answer: Yes, that is the net proceeds from the remaining 12 assets we are selling. We plan to pay down debt by $250 to $300 million from these future sales.

Question 6: How confident are you in achieving that pricing range? Are there any active LIs or notable tenant interest supporting that valuation?
Answer: We are feeling good about achieving that pricing range. Virtually every asset is engaged, and half of them are officially under control.
