Our Position • Purchased on Dec 10, 1999 • 500 shares for 24.625 and 500 shares for 24.75 • Original Book Value of $24,687.50 • Cost of holding adjusted every year for dividends • Currently hold 1,018.28 shares currently at $39.29 with a listed book value of $20,154.16 • Unrealized gain of $19,848 (98.48%)

  3. Company History • Shidler Group founded in 1972 • Midwest operations would become First Industrial, formed in 1993 and IPO in June 1994 • Co-founded by former Shindler Group-Michael Brennan (CEO), Michael Havala (CFO), Johannson Yap (CIO) • Focus on acquiring land and property that local managers can create value with

  4. Company Information • Chicago, Illinois-based real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on industrial properties • Not subject to federal income tax, but must distribute 90% of taxable income to shareholders • Lease, develop, redevelop, buy, sell, and manage industrial facilities in the top 25 U.S. industrial markets

  5. The Economy • Controlled by general economic factors, highly dependent on industrial output • Rising fuel costs not a direct factor, but higher costs for manufacturers not good for industrial REITs • Expected continued economic growth and increased demand for space to increase

  6. The Industry • Disparity between public and private market for real estate • Trend for privatization of industrial REITs (5 this year alone) • Private investors willing to pay a premium over public investors in order to acquire real estate assets in bulk • Expected industry total return of 10% in 2006

  7. The Business • Largest national provider of diversified industrial real estate • 845 Properties owned with 2,500 tenants • <1% revenue comes from largest customer • Occupancy rates are up, but well below historical averages *from 2004 Annual Report

  8. The Strategy • I-N-D-L platform • Industrial focus • National scope • Diverse facility types • Local management and expertise • STP investment process • Seller-> find opportunity to buy under-value • Transaction-> complex transactions that reduces competing buyers • Property-> property that have greatest upside in hands of experience and expertise • Disciplined risk management • Diversified portfolio • Methodical investment/divestment process • Strong balance sheet • Local managers attentive to risk

  9. Competitive Advantage • High-quality customer service • 90% of tenants would recommend FR • 2 Hour Rule • Flexibility to adapt products to customer needs- “All things industrial.” • Local management • High local expertise, quick response • Solid balance sheet and strong financial position • 98% of properties unencumbered by mortgages

  12. Stock performance (5 year vs. S&P)

  13. Stock performance

  14. Dividends • Since the purchase of the stock, dividends have been paid every quarter and have been increased 5 times • Currently paying $0.70 per share every quarter

  15. Financial Analysis • Business is directly related to growth in the balance sheet, particularly Net Investments in Real Estate • Expense growth outpaces revenue growth • Grew balance sheet at historical rates • Grew income statement in proportion to Net Investments in Real Estate

  16. Financial Projections • With sustainable growth at 4% and WACC at 6.5%, the DCF values the stock between $39.38-$48.13 • Performance suggests management would be able to support continued dividend growth • 2006 EPS Forecast of $2.22 is within management guidance of $2.10-$2.30

  17. Multiples Analysis • FFO/Share multiples based on three competitors and peer average: 16.99x • FR’s implied FFO/Share based on FFO and share price- 8.71x • FR price using calculated peer multiple- $75.13 • First Industrial is valued at a discount versus its competitors

  18. Recommendation: Hold • DCF suggests price range $39.38-$48.13 vs. current price of 39.29 • FFO/Price multiple suggests that the stock is trading at a large discount in comparison to its peers • Although not the best performing company, it has provided consistent and growing dividends. I believe that FR’s skilled management and quality business strategy will continue to improve performance.
