Logistic Properties of the Americas (NYSE:LPA) (together with its subsidiaries, "LPA" or "the Company"), announced today its audited consolidated financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024 ("FY24"). The financial results are expressed in U.S. dollars and are presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), which differ in certain significant respects from the U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). This information should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Company's audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto. All comparisons within this announcement are year-over-year ("YoY"), unless otherwise noted. LPA's financial results are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. LPA is a leading developer, owner, acquirer and manager of logistics and industrial real estate of institutional quality in the Americas, and one of the few internally managed, vertically integrated, and institutional platforms operating across the region.

FY24 Financial and Operating Highlights

• Revenue increased 11.2% to $43.8 million in 2024, primarily due to $3.6 million in additional rental income from three buildings that were stabilized in 2024 and to a $1.9 million increase in revenue related to higher rental rates associated with lease rollovers and contractual rent increases. These YoY revenue increases were partially offset by the November 2023 tactical divestment of a building in Colombia that had contributed $0.9 million in rental revenues for full year 2023 and by a $0.8 million revenue decline related to frictional vacancies at previously occupied properties while preparations for new tenants and new leases were being implemented.

• 2024 Net Operating Income (NOI) increased 7.1% to $36.6 million, while Same-Property Cash NOI increased 5.0% to $33.9 million, primarily due to rent growth and the expiration of rent abatements.

• On December 31, 2024, the occupancy rate of LPA's operating portfolio was 98.3%, as compared to 100% at year-end 2023. Notable new lease agreements during the year were signed with Porsche and DSV for a combined GLA of 125,282 square feet in Colombia, and with Scharff International Courier & Cargo and Signia Soluciones Logisticas for a combined GLA of 92,537 square feet in Peru.

• General and Administrative expenses increased 83.6% to $15.6 million in 2024, primarily reflecting increased compliance and reporting obligations since LPA became a public company in the first quarter of the year, as well as the implementation of a Restricted Stock Unit compensation plan for officers and directors and increased headcount costs.

• During the fourth quarter, LPA repurchased $0.9 million of its ordinary shares under a share repurchase program that allows the Company to buy back up to $10.0 million of its outstanding Ordinary Shares from November 29, 2024 to November 20, 2025.

Subsequent Events

• On March 3, 2025, LPA announced that it had achieved 100% occupancy at its operating portfolio with a new lease for 71,580 square feet of GLA at Parque Logistico Lima Sur in Peru that was signed with a major global third-party logistics provider that expanded its footprint within the Company's properties to become LPA's largest customer.

• On March 6, 2025, LPA entered into a loan agreement with BBVA Peru for a total of $25.0 million. The Company plans to utilize the funds to finance the construction of warehouses strategically located in Lima, Peru.

• During the first quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased an additional $0.8 million of its ordinary shares under the above mentioned share repurchase program, bringing the total amount of repurchased shares to $2.1 million.

CEO Commentary

Our Company made substantial achievements last year and has maintained strong momentum going into 2025. It has been just over one year since we became a public company through LPA's listing on the New York Stock Exchange. The listing was a major milestone that has strengthened our corporate brand and improved access to equity capital, enabling our vertically integrated logistics property platform's continued regional expansion to capture more of the growing demand for institutional quality facilities across the underpenetrated markets we serve.

During 2024 we continued taking a patient and disciplined approach to leasing, to fully capitalize on highly favorable mark-to-market lease renewals and to wait for the right new tenants, always seeking to maximize the opportunities presented by acute supply and demand imbalances in our foundational markets: Costa Rica, Colombia and Peru. That approach helped drive an 11.2% increase in revenue and a 7.1% increase in net operating income for the year. Further, our premium, strategically located properties continue attracting high-quality tenants, such as Porsche, DSV, and one of the world's leading food and beverage companies. In March 2025, we achieved 100% occupancy in LPA's operating portfolio, with total Leased GLA that expanded 6.2% to 5.6 million square feet as of the end of 2024. Additionally, virtually all of our development portfolio had been pre-leased at year-end, which significantly mitigates our development risk and speaks to the fast-growing, consumer-led economies to which we cater.

Although there is considerable uncertainty surrounding Mexico's nearshoring sectors today, we still see select opportunities in logistics, given the strength of domestic demand in the country. Therefore, investing in Mexico will remain integral to our long-term value-creation strategy, although we intend be more discerning in our approach in the current environment. Fundamentally, we see this market as a path to serving not only our global but also leading U.S. customers that operate in this market in a cost-effective manner. As always, we will maintain a disciplined approach to investing, working closely with current and prospective local partners, among them Falcon. Moreover, many opportunities to expand LPA's platform remain in our foundational markets – whose economies are not as dependent on exports, making them less exposed to the threat of trade tariff increases and where local consumption continues to grow. As with all investments, we are guided by a strong and independent board, which welcomed two new independent directors last year. They have brought additional international and regional experience as well as complementary skillsets and insights to our board.

Another way we are deploying capital to increase shareholder value is LPA's share repurchase program, under which we bought back $1.3 million worth of our ordinary shares during the fourth quarter of 2024, and another $0.8 million in the first quarter of this year. These buybacks demonstrate our confidence in LPA's unique value proposition with its largely USD contracted revenue, global and diversified customer base, and differentiated geographic scope of operations—one of our key competitive advantages.

Looking ahead, we are confident in our ability to create additional value and momentum within our unique, internally managed, multinational platform of Class A logistics properties. We are still in the early innings of growth. With a diverse set of pipeline opportunities, we are well-positioned to scale into a larger, stronger and more profitable company. Backed by our executive team's deep industry and regional expertise, we have built a solid operational and development foundation as well as a widely recognized brand in the region—other key advantages that will enable us to continue expanding to drive long-term shareholder value.
