Here are some highlights:

• Operating conditions in Mexico were the strongest on record in 2016:
• At the end of 2016, our portfolio reported an all-time high occupancy of 96.8 percent—up from 96.5 percent at the end of 2015 and 130 basis points above the market.
• Demand in Mexico is being driven largely by consumption, e-commerce and exports:
• E-commerce is growing rapidly, leading e-commerce operators and logistics providers to expand their operations in Mexico.
• Mexico's youthful population and rapidly growing middle class together are driving higher consumption.
• Despite geopolitical uncertainty, the long-term outlook continues to be positive:
• While Mexico occupies an important role in global supply and manufacturing chains, our business proposition gives us the most confidence—no portfolio in Mexico has a better location strategy than ours.

FIBRA Prologis closed out an excellent 2016, entering the new year with a sound financial position, healthy liquidity and a best-in-class operating portfolio that is expected to continue to deliver solid results.
