EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2017 of DCT Industrial Trust Inc., a Maryland corporation, and DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership. Except as otherwise indicated herein, the terms “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to DCT Industrial Trust Inc. and its subsidiaries, including its operating partnership, DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP. When we use the term “DCT” or “DCT Industrial,” we are referring to DCT Industrial Trust Inc. by itself, and not including any of its subsidiaries, and when we use the term “Operating Partnership,” we are referring to DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP by itself, and not including any of its subsidiaries.
We are a leading industrial real estate company specializing in the ownership, acquisition, development, leasing and management of bulk-distribution and light-industrial properties located in high-demand distribution markets in the United States. DCT's actively managed portfolio is strategically located near population centers and well-positioned to take advantage of market dynamics. DCT has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We are structured as an umbrella partnership REIT under which substantially all of our current and future business is, and will be, conducted through a majority owned and controlled subsidiary, DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership, for which DCT is the sole general partner. We own our properties through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2017, DCT owned approximately 96.4% of the outstanding equity interests in the Operating Partnership.
We operate DCT and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The management of DCT consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, DCT consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes. DCT does not have significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of DCT and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements.
We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of DCT and the Operating Partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:
enhances investors’ understanding of DCT and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
eliminates duplicative disclosures and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation as a substantial portion of the Company’s disclosures apply to both DCT and the Operating Partnership; and
creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
Stockholders’ equity, partners’ capital and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the Consolidated Financial Statements of DCT and those of the Operating Partnership. Equity interests in the Operating Partnership held by entities other than DCT are classified within partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in DCT’s financial statements. Equity interests of 3.6% of the Operating Partnership were owned by executives and non-affiliated limited partners as of June 30, 2017.
To help investors understand the differences between DCT and the Operating Partnership, this report provides separate Consolidated Financial Statements for DCT and the Operating Partnership; a single set of consolidated notes to such financial statements that includes separate discussions of each entity’s stockholders’ equity or partners’ capital, as applicable; and a combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section that includes distinct information related to each entity.
This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibits 31 and 32 certifications for DCT and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that DCT and the Operating Partnership are both compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

DCT INDUSTRIAL TRUST INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
DCT INDUSTRIAL OPERATING PARTERNSHIP LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
 
Note 1 – Organization
DCT Industrial Trust Inc. is a leading industrial real estate company specializing in the ownership, acquisition, development, leasing and management of bulk-distribution and light-industrial properties located in high-demand distribution markets in the United States. DCT's actively managed portfolio is strategically located near population centers and well-positioned to take advantage of market dynamics. As used herein, the terms “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to DCT Industrial Trust Inc. and its subsidiaries, including its operating partnership, DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP. When we use the term “DCT” or “DCT Industrial,” we are referring to DCT Industrial Trust Inc. by itself, and not including any of its subsidiaries, and when we use the term “Operating Partnership,” we are referring to DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP by itself, and not including any of its subsidiaries.
DCT was formed as a Maryland corporation in April 2002 and has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We are structured as an umbrella partnership REIT under which substantially all of our current and future business is, and will be, conducted through a majority owned and controlled subsidiary, DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership, for which DCT is the sole general partner. DCT owns properties through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2017, DCT owned approximately 96.4% of the outstanding equity interests in the Operating Partnership.
As of June 30, 2017, the Company owned interests in approximately 73.3 million square feet of properties leased to approximately 860 customers, including:
63.8 million square feet comprising 397 consolidated operating properties, including one building totaling 0.3 million square feet classified as held for sale, that were 97.5% occupied;
7.6 million square feet comprising 21 unconsolidated properties that were 99.1% occupied and which we operated on behalf of one institutional capital management partner and an unconsolidated joint venture; 
0.3 million square feet comprising three consolidated value-add acquisitions;
0.2 million square feet comprising two consolidated properties under redevelopment; and
1.4 million square feet comprising five consolidated properties developed by DCT which are shell-complete and in lease-up.
In addition, the Company has 12 projects under construction and several projects in pre-development. See “Note 3 – Investment in Properties” for further details related to our development activity.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Financial Information 
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with GAAP. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2016 and related notes thereto included in our Form 10-K filed on February 17, 2017.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, the Operating Partnership, their wholly-owned qualified REIT subsidiaries and taxable REIT subsidiaries, and their consolidated joint ventures in which they have a controlling interest.

13




Equity interests in the Operating Partnership held by entities other than DCT are classified within partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in DCT’s financial statements. Equity interests in entities consolidated into the Operating Partnership that are held by third parties are reflected in our accompanying balance sheets as noncontrolling interests. We also have noncontrolling partnership interests in unconsolidated institutional capital management and other joint ventures, which are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
We hold interests in both consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures for the purposes of operating and developing industrial real estate. All joint ventures over which we have financial and operating control, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary, are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. We use the equity method of accounting for joint ventures over which we do not have a controlling interest or where we do not exercise significant control over major operating and management decisions but where we exercise significant influence and include our share of earnings or losses of these joint ventures in our consolidated results of operations.
We analyze our joint ventures in accordance with GAAP to determine whether they are VIEs and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Our judgment with respect to our level of influence or control over an entity and whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE involves consideration of various factors including the form of our ownership interest, our representation on the entity’s board of directors (or equivalent body), the size of our investment (including loans), our obligation or right to absorb its losses or receive its benefits and our ability to participate in major decisions.  
If a joint venture does not meet the characteristics of a VIE, we apply the voting interest model to determine whether the entity should be consolidated. Our ability to assess our influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these investments in the Consolidated Financial Statements and our financial position and results of operations.
We concluded our Operating Partnership meets the criteria of a VIE as the Operating Partnership’s limited partners do not have the right to remove the general partner and do not have substantive participating rights in the operations of the Operating Partnership. Under the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”), DCT is the primary beneficiary of the Operating Partnership as we have the obligation to absorb losses and receive benefits, and the power to control substantially all of the activities which most significantly impact the economic performance of the Operating Partnership. Accordingly, the Operating Partnership is consolidated within DCT’s financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in financial institutions and other highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. We have not realized any losses in our cash and cash equivalents and believe that these short-term instruments are not exposed to any significant credit risk. Restricted cash consists of escrow deposits held by lenders for real estate taxes, insurance and capital replacement reserves, security deposits and amounts held by intermediary agents to be used for tax-deferred, like-kind exchange transactions. As of June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, approximately $36.3 million and $48.2 million, respectively, of restricted cash was included in “Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash” in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows related to tax deferred, like-kind exchange transactions. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the funds that had been obtained in tax deferred, like-kind exchange transactions were utilized during 2016.

Revenue Recognition
At the inception of a new lease arrangement, including new leases that arise from amendments, we assess the terms and conditions to determine the proper lease classification. A lease arrangement is classified as an operating lease if none of the following criteria are met: (i) transfer of ownership to the lessee, (ii) lessee has a bargain purchase option during or at the end of the lease term, (iii) the lease term is equal to 75% or more of the underlying property’s economic life, or (iv) the present value of future minimum lease payments (excluding executory costs) are equal to 90% or more of the excess estimated fair value (over retained investment tax credits) of the leased building. Generally our leases do not meet any of the listed criteria above and are classified as operating leases.
We record rental revenues on a straight-line basis under which contractual rent increases are recognized evenly over the lease term. Certain properties have leases that provide for tenant occupancy during periods where no rent is due or where minimum rent payments change during the term of the lease. Accordingly, receivables from tenants that we expect to collect over the remaining lease term are recorded on the balance sheet as straight-line rent receivables. The total increase to “Rental revenues” due to straight-line rent adjustments was approximately $0.8 million and $4.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and approximately $5.7 million and $11.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.
If the lease provides for tenant improvements, we determine whether the tenant improvements are owned by the tenant or us. When we are the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant generally is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially complete. When we are the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvements funded by the tenant are treated as lease payments which are deferred and amortized into rental revenues over the lease term. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, we record any tenant improvement allowance funded as a lease incentive and amortize it as a reduction of rental revenue over the lease term. Tenant recovery income includes reimbursements due from tenants pursuant to their leases for real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance and other recoverable property operating expenses and is recognized as “Rental revenues” during the period the related expenses are incurred. The reimbursements are recognized and presented on a gross basis, as the Company is generally the primary obligor and, with respect to purchasing goods and services from third party suppliers, has discretion in selecting the supplier and bears the associated credit risk. Tenant recovery income recognized as “Rental revenues” was approximately $24.7 million and $50.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and approximately $22.3 million and $44.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. We maintain an allowance for estimated losses that may result from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If a customer fails to make contractual payments beyond any allowance, we may recognize additional bad debt expense in future periods equal to the net outstanding balances.
In connection with property acquisitions we may acquire leases with rental rates above or below the market rental rates. Such differences are recorded as an intangible lease asset or liability and amortized to “Rental revenues” over the reasonably assured term of the related leases. We consider a reasonably assured term to be the measurement period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The unamortized balances of these assets and liabilities associated with the early termination of leases are fully amortized to their respective revenue line items in our Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining contractual lease term. The total net impact to “Rental revenues” due to the amortization of above and below market rents was an increase of approximately $0.7 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and approximately $0.8 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

15




Early lease termination fees are recorded in “Rental revenues” on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining contractual lease term or upon collection if collectability is not assured. Early lease termination fees were approximately $0.4 million and $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and approximately $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.
We earn revenues from asset management fees, acquisition fees, property management fees and fees for other services pursuant to joint venture and other third-party agreements. These are included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations in “Institutional capital management and other fees.” We recognize revenues from asset management fees, acquisition fees, property management fees and fees for other services when the related fees are earned and are realized or realizable.
New Accounting Standards
New Accounting Standards Adopted
In March 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, the classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and the classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. Effective January 1, 2017, we elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimate expected forfeitures. The adoption of the guidance was applied prospectively and did not have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU that clarifies the definition of a business. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this standard prospectively effective January 1, 2017. As a result, we anticipate that fewer of our acquisitions made in the normal course of business will meet the definition of a business, as our typical acquisitions consist of properties whereby substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (land, building and in-place leases).
New Accounting Standards Issued but not yet Adopted
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard update (“ASU”), 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), that requires companies to recognize revenue from contracts with customers based upon the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also results in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provides guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively and improves guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The FASB subsequently issued additional ASUs which improve guidance and provide clarification of the new standard. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company expects to adopt the standard effective January 1, 2018 and utilize the modified retrospective transition method. We have developed a project plan and are in the process of evaluating and concluding on our revenue streams. Given the nature of our business, our primary revenue stream is from relatively short-term operating leases with tenants. Additionally, our historical property dispositions have been cash sales with no contingencies and no future involvement in the property operations. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

16




In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that modifies existing accounting standards for lease accounting. The new standard requires a lessee to record a lease asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Leases in which we are the lessee will generally be accounted for as operating leases and we will record a lease asset and a lease liability. Leases in which we are the lessors will be accounted as sales-type leases, direct financing leases or operating leases. Revenue related to the lease components of a lease contract will be recognized on a straight-line basis while revenue related to non-lease components will be recognized under ASU 2014-09. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Leases in which we are the lessor will continue to be accounted for as operating leases with minimal impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operation; however, this standard may impact the timing of recognition and disclosures related to our tenant recovery income earned from leasing our consolidated operating properties. Additionally, the standard allows only for the capitalization of the initial direct costs that would have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained. The adoption of this guidance will impact our current policy regarding the capitalization of internal direct costs related to the successful origination of new leases. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company expects to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2019.

Development Activity
Our properties under development include the following:
Five buildings in the Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, Orlando and Seattle markets totaling approximately 1.4 million square feet that we completed shell construction as of June 30, 2017 with cumulative costs to date of approximately $88.8 million. These properties are 29.6% leased and occupied based on weighted average square feet.
Twelve projects under construction totaling approximately 2.7 million square feet with cumulative costs to date of approximately $157.9 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we acquired approximately 101.2 acres of land in the Dallas, Houston, Northern California, Orlando and Pennsylvania markets for approximately $18.5 million that is held for future development or is under construction.
During June 2017, we determined the carrying value of one land parcel in our West operating segment exceeded its estimated fair value and recorded an impairment loss on land of approximately $0.9 million. The estimated fair value of the impaired land was based upon a quoted market price, a Level 2 fair value measurement.
Disposition Activity
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we sold four consolidated operating properties totaling approximately 0.8 million square feet from our Baltimore/Washington D.C., Cincinnati and Phoenix markets to third-parties for gross proceeds of approximately $53.0 million. We recognized gains of approximately $28.1 million on the disposition of these properties.
Intangible Lease Assets and Liabilities
Aggregate amortization expense for intangible lease assets recognized in connection with property acquisitions (excluding assets and liabilities related to above and below market rents; see “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for additional information) was approximately $2.6 million and $5.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and approximately $3.0 million and $6.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

Note 4 – Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
We enter into joint ventures primarily for purposes of operating and developing industrial real estate. Our investments in these joint ventures are included in “Investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During May 2017, the Southern California Logistics Airport (“SCLA”) joint venture entered into a $30.0 million secured fixed rate term note with a maturity date of May 2024. The proceeds were used to pay down a portion of the existing term note maturing in October 2017 and as a return of contributions to the joint venture partners.
During June 2017, the TRT-DCT Venture III disposed of its three remaining properties. We received approximately $2.7 million for our share of the gross proceeds and recognized our share of the gain on the sale of approximately $1.2 million, which is included in "Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures, net" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During June 2017, the SCLA joint venture completed development activities and stabilized one building totaling 0.4 million square feet.

Note 5 – Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their carrying values due to the short-term nature of settlement of these instruments. The fair values of other financial instruments subject to fair value disclosures were determined based on available market information and valuation methodologies we believe to be appropriate estimates for these purposes. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates. Our estimates may differ from the actual amounts that we could realize upon disposition.

The fair values of our borrowings were estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology. Credit spreads and market interest rates used to determine the fair value of these instruments are based on unobservable Level 3 inputs which management has determined to be its best estimate of current market values.
(2) 
The carrying amount of our fixed rate debt includes premiums and discounts and excludes deferred loan costs.
(3) 
The fair value of our interest rate swaps is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash flows and the discounted expected variable cash flows based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from Level 2 observable market interest rate curves. We also incorporate a credit valuation adjustment, which is derived using unobservable Level 3 inputs, to appropriately reflect both our nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement. The asset or liability is included in “Other assets, net” or “Other liabilities,” respectively, in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table presents a reconciliation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The table also displays gains and losses due to changes in fair value, including both realized and unrealized, recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheets for Level 3 assets and liabilities. When assets and liabilities are transferred between levels, we recognize the transfer at the beginning of the period. There were no transfers between levels during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Hedging Activities
To manage interest rate risk for variable rate debt and issuances of fixed rate debt, we primarily use treasury locks and interest rate swaps as part of our cash flow hedging strategy. These derivatives are designed to mitigate the risk of future interest rate increases by providing a fixed interest rate for a limited, pre-determined period of time. Such derivatives have been used to hedge the variability in existing and future interest expense associated with existing variable rate borrowings and forecasted issuances of debt, which may include issuances of new debt, as well as refinancing of existing debt upon maturity.
Accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the designation of the derivative, whether we have elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.
For derivatives designated as “cash flow” hedges, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in “Other comprehensive income (“OCI”)” in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (i.e., not included in earnings) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings or the hedging relationship is no longer effective at which time the ineffective portion of the derivative’s change in fair value is recognized directly into earnings. We assess the effectiveness of each hedging relationship whenever financial statements are issued or earnings are reported and at least every three months. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
During June 2013, certain of our consolidated ventures entered into two pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps to hedge the variability of future cash flows attributable to changes in the 1 month USD LIBOR rates. The pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps have an effective date of June 2013 and a maturity date of June 2023. These interest rate swaps effectively fix the interest rate on the related debt instruments at 4.72%. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had borrowings payable subject to these pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps with aggregate principal balances of approximately $6.5 million and $6.6 million, respectively.

20




During December 2015, we entered into a pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap to hedge the variability of future cash flows attributable to changes in the 1 month USD LIBOR rates on our $200.0 million unsecured term loan. The pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap has an effective date of December 2015 and a maturity date of December 2022. The interest rate swap effectively fixes the interest rate on the related debt instrument at 3.31%, however, there is no floor on the variable interest rate of the swap whereas the current variable rate debt is subject to a 0.0% floor. In the event that USD LIBOR is negative, the Company will make payments to the hedge counterparty equal to the negative spread between USD LIBOR and zero. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $6,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, of hedge ineffectiveness in earnings attributable to a 0.0% floor mismatch in the hedging relationships (i.e., there is no floor on the variable interest rate of the swap whereas the current variable rate debt from which the hedged forecasted transactions are expected to flow is subject to a 0.0% floor on the USD LIBOR component of the interest rate). As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the entire $200.0 million principal amount of the term loan was subject to this pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap.

Amounts reported in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” related to derivatives will be amortized to “Interest expense” as interest payments are made on our current debt and anticipated debt issuances. During the next 12 months, we estimate that approximately $4.8 million will be reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” to “Interest expense” resulting in an increase in interest expense.

Note 6 – Outstanding Indebtedness
As of June 30, 2017, our outstanding indebtedness of approximately $1.6 billion consisted of mortgage notes, senior unsecured notes and bank unsecured credit facilities, excluding approximately $45.5 million representing our proportionate share of non-recourse debt associated with unconsolidated joint ventures. As of December 31, 2016, our outstanding indebtedness of approximately $1.6 billion consisted of mortgage notes, senior unsecured notes and bank unsecured credit facilities, excluding approximately $35.2 million representing our proportionate share of non-recourse debt associated with unconsolidated joint ventures.
As of June 30, 2017, the gross book value of our consolidated properties was approximately $4.5 billion and the gross book value of all properties securing our mortgage debt was approximately $0.5 billion. As of December 31, 2016, the gross book value of our consolidated properties was approximately $4.4 billion and the gross book value of all properties securing our mortgage debt was approximately $0.6 billion. Our debt has various covenants with which we were in compliance as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
Line of Credit
As of June 30, 2017, we had $133.0 million outstanding and $265.1 million available under our $400.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility, net of two letters of credit totaling $1.9 million. As of December 31, 2016, we had $75.0 million outstanding and $323.1 million available under our $400.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility, net of two letters of credit totaling $1.9 million.

Debt Issuance and Payoffs
During March 2017, we repaid the remaining $25.0 million outstanding on our $100.0 million term loan at par maturing April 2017 using proceeds from our senior unsecured revolving credit facility.
During June 2017, we paid-off our $51.0 million senior unsecured note at par maturing June 2017 using proceeds from our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our continuous equity offering program.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we paid-off four mortgage notes at par totaling $34.5 million maturing in 2017 using proceeds from our senior unsecured revolving credit facility.
During March 2017, the Operating Partnership issued $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes due 2023 at 103.88% of face value in a public offering for net proceeds of approximately $51.2 million after offering costs and excluding accrued interest of approximately $0.9 million. The notes were issued under our indenture dated October 9, 2013 and form part of the same series as our previously issued 4.50% senior notes due 2023. We primarily used the net proceeds to pay down our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
Guarantee of Debt
DCT has guaranteed the Operating Partnership’s obligations with respect to the senior unsecured notes and the bank unsecured credit facilities.

Note 7 – Noncontrolling Interests
DCT
Noncontrolling interests are the portion of equity, or net assets, in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. Noncontrolling interests of DCT primarily represent limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and equity interests held by third party partners in consolidated real estate investments, including related parties as discussed in “Note 9 – Related Party Transactions.”
Operating Partnership
Equity interests in the Operating Partnership held by third-parties and LTIP Units, as defined in “Note 8 – Stockholders’ Equity of DCT and Partners’ Capital of the Operating Partnership,” are classified as permanent equity of the Operating Partnership and as noncontrolling interests of DCT in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 8 – Stockholders’ Equity of DCT and Partners’ Capital of the Operating Partnership
DCT
Common Stock
As of June 30, 2017, approximately 93.0 million shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.
On September 10, 2015, we registered a continuous equity offering program whereby the Company may issue 5.0 million shares of common stock, at a par value of $0.01 per share, from time-to-time through September 10, 2018 in “at-the-market” offerings or certain other transactions. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we issued approximately 1.2 million
