Industrial Logistics Properties Trust (ILPT) has spent the recent periods heavily focused on de-levering and managing its capital structure in the aftermath of a major historical transaction. The company continues to digest its transformational February 2022 acquisition of Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation, a $4.0 billion all-cash deal priced at $21.00 per share. This equated to approximately $154 per square foot for the 26 million square foot portfolio of Class A, e-commerce-focused assets. The transaction was executed at a 4.0% cash cap rate and a 4.3% GAAP cap rate. To manage the significant debt load incurred from this acquisition, ILPT previously reduced its quarterly dividend to $0.01 per share to preserve liquidity and currently prioritizes operational stability, organic cash flow growth, and strong rent roll-ups over external portfolio expansion.
