CONTINUED RECOVERY IN THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR 2 ECONOMY This section discusses quarterly changes and trends occurring within the economy and supply chain components that influence industrial space demand. GDP & EMPLOYMENT For 3Q13, real GDP growth increased at an annualized rate of 2.8% (advance estimate), which was better than the consensus expectation of 1.9%. The growth rate was up 30 bps from 2Q13 and up 120 bps from a year ago. The improvement was due to reduced reliance on imports, greater investment in inventories, and stronger growth in state and local government spending. The offsets to this were slower growth in exports, business fixed investment, and consumer spending. For the third consecutive quarter, inventories added 0.8% to growth, though they will likely be a drag in the near-term. Job gains during the quarter were 490,000, with the largest additions among the goodsproducing, retail trade, and professional and business services industries. The unemployment rate decreased during 3Q13 by 40 bps to 7.2%. PRODUCTION ACTIVITY The Empire Survey (blue line) indicated that conditions during 3Q13 improved modestly for the fourth straight month. The general business conditions index, at 6.3 in September, edged down two points from the prior month, but remained in positive territory. Indices for the six-month outlook conveyed increasingly widespread optimism, with the future general business conditions index rising three points in September to 40.6 (its highest level since spring of ). The Philadelphia Business Outlook (orange line) 10% 8% 6% 4% 2% 0% -2% -4% -6% -8% -10% 75 50 25 0-25 -50 2000 2000 2001 2014 2015 indicated that general activity, new orders, shipments, and employment for September were all positive and higher than the previous month. Future activity indicators were significantly higher, suggesting improved optimism about growth. The survey s broadest measure of manufacturing conditions, the diffusion index of current activity, increased from 9.3 in August to 22.3 in September (the fourth consecutive month of a positive reading). The future general activity index increased from 38.9 to 58.2, exceeding its previous high since the end of the recession in. The Institute of Supply Management s Purchase Managers Index (green line) registered 56.2 for September, which was an increase of 80 bps from July. This represents growth for the 52 nd consecutive month in the overall economy. Of the 18 manufacturing industries, 11 reported growth in September the top among these including Electrical Equipment, Appliances & Components, and Food, Beverage, & Tobacco Products. 2001 03/01-11/01 03/01-11/01 Q/Q CHANGE (SAAR) Y/Y CHANGE ISM PMI Sources: Moody's Analytics, PNC Real Estate Market Research NY EMPIRE SURVEY PHILLY FED OUTLOOK 12/07-06/09 MANUFACTURING SURVEYS US REAL GDP Sources: Bureau of Economic Analysis, Moody's Analytics, PNC Economics Group (August ), PNC Real Estate Market Research 12/07-06/09 PNC Projections 4.1% 1.1% 1.8% 2.5% 3.5% 3.1% 2.7% 1.9% -0.3% -3.1% 2.4% 1.8% 2.2% 2.3% 2.5%

CONTINUED RECOVERY IN THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR 3 Industrial production increased 0.6% in September, following a gain of 0.4% in August. For the third quarter as a whole, industrial production rose at an annual rate of 2.3%. Manufacturing production edged up by 0.1%. The Fed s Industrial Production Index (shaded blue area) increased at an annualized rate of 2.3%.

According to PNC Economics, Industrial Production is expected to grow at 2.4% for the remainder of, and by 3.1% during 2014. INVENTORY AND TRANSPORT The Business Inventory to Sales ratio (blue line) shows a reading of 1.29 for 3Q13, which is unchanged from the previous quarter. The movement of freight and railroad activity serves as a useful gauge in assessing the economy s trajectory. Total U.S. intermodal volume for September was 1.0 million units, up 4.4% compared to a year ago. For 3Q13, total volume was 3.3 million units, which was an increase of 3.7% from 3Q12. Air freight (orange line), through August, declined 4.2% annually.

The Port of New York/New Jersey, the biggest on the Atlantic coast, experienced a decrease of 5.2% yearover-year for the same month. The Cass Truckload Linehaul Index reflected a 1.3% annual gain during the quarter. TRADE Trade activity among major U.S. partners (Europe, Canada, Mexico, and China) remained flat in the third quarter.

CONTINUED RECOVERY IN THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR 4 INDUSTRIAL MARKET FUNDAMENTALS As discussed in the Economy Section, positive movements in key industrial space drivers (Production, Inventories, and Transport) have lead to a continued recovery of industrial market fundamentals. Please refer to the Appendix for additional data on PNC s 22 Footprint Markets, which represent approximately 37.0% of the nation s industrial space and include five of the nation s largest industrial markets. ABSORPTION Net absorption on a national basis totaled 40.8 msf in 3Q13, a 9.0 msf increase from the previous quarter and a 15.4 msf increase from one year prior. Quarterly industrial space demand (warehouse and flex-space) over the past year has continued to remain in positive territory, with consistent gains since the beginning of. The trend for both sectors has been positive since 2Q10. The nation s 10 largest industrial markets leased 55.9 msf through 3Q13, accounting for almost 38.0% of the national total. Large distribution markets that have shown exceptional performance include Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Atlanta, and the Inland Empire, while Houston, Detroit, the SF Bay Area, and Northern New Jersey all had healthy gains above 4.0 msf from the year prior. Markets with weaker performance include Philadelphia and Los Angeles. PNC s 22 footprint markets accounted for 50.4 msf of the nation s net absorption YTD for 3Q13. The largest industrial markets continued to register gains (Atlanta, Chicago, and Detroit), while smaller metros such as Charlotte, Cincinnati, and Cleveland showed noticeable improvement around 3.0 msf. Markets that reflected little to no change include Dayton, Milwaukee, and Mobile. Birmingham and Philadelphia were the only footprint markets to experience negative absorption for the third quarter. msf 60 40 20 0-20 -40-60 -80 Sources: CoStar, PNC Real Estate Market Research Chicago Philadelphia Los Angeles N.

CONTINUED RECOVERY IN THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR 5 SUPPLY Continuing the trend from the second quarter, construction activity remained minimal throughout the nation. The number of square feet under construction increased since the last quarter from 63.3 msf to 70.8 msf, but this figure still equates to just 0.3% of inventory. PNC s footprint markets accounted for approximately 43.3% of the space underway, an increase of 180 bps from the prior quarter. The number of markets with more than 1.0 msf of construction activity decreased to 20, compared to 21 last quarter (Los Angeles dropped below this threshold).

The largest project to break ground during 3Q13, according to CoStar, was the 672K sf Pinnacle Business Center in Chicago s South I-55 Corridor Submarket. Completion of the building is scheduled for first quarter 2014. For 3Q13, CoStar data indicated that deliveries totaled 19.0 msf. Completions by building size improved from the last quarter. Mid-sized buildings (100,000 499,999 sf) constituted 30.2% of the space and were 66.5% leased (compared to 49.9% last quarter), while large buildings (>500,000 sf) comprised 26.8% of space and were 62.6% leased (27.6% for 2Q13). The largest delivery to the market for the quarter was the Helen of Troy Building, a 1.2 msf industrial distribution building (100.0% preleased) located in Memphis DeSoto Submarket.

CONTINUED RECOVERY IN THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR 6 VACANCY The national industrial (flex-space and warehouse) vacancy rate continued to improve in 3Q13. It ended the quarter at 8.4%, down 20 bps sequentially and 80 bps annually. The national rate is now 200 bps below this cycle s 10.4% peak and only 40 bps above its low. Warehouse (blue line) decreased by 20 bps from the previous quarter and moved down 80 bps from the prior year to 7.9%, while flexspace (orange line) decreased 30 bps and 90 bps, respectively, to 12.0%. The number of markets with improved vacancy slipped slightly during the quarter. Of the 142 industrial markets that we monitor, 113 had lower vacancy rates than a year ago (down from 117 in 2Q13). Small markets (<100 msf of inventory) accounted for 18 of the 29 markets with higher 3Q13 vacancy rates. However, the average small market vacancy rate was only 10 bps above the national rate, which was unchanged from last quarter. 15% 14% 13% 12% 11% 10% 9% 8% 7% 6% 9.6% The nation s 10 largest industrial markets 10.0% had an average vacancy rate 20 bps below the Detroit 11.6% 5.3% national rate, an improvement of 10 bps from Houston 5.3% the previous quarter. While the major 6.3% Inland Empire 7.6% markets had a lower vacancy rate from a year ago, Philadelphia s rate was higher for the Sources: CoStar, PNC Real Estate Market Research second consecutive quarter. In addition, all markets improved sequentially, with the exception of Houston, which saw a vacancy rate increase of 20 bps. Flex-Space Warehouse The average weighted vacancy rate within PNC s 22 footprint markets was 9.2%, down 25 bps sequentially and 81 bps annually. The largest quarterly declines were posted by Columbus and Detroit, which dropped 100 bps to 8.5% and 70 bps to 10.0%, respectively. Columbus has repeated its downward movement in vacancy for the second consecutive quarter, and its vacancy rate is now only 20 bps above the national average. Markets that continue to struggle include Dayton and Mobile, with vacancy rates above the 13.0% mark, despite Dayton have a 26 bps drop since last quarter. The healthier markets with vacancies below the national average continue to be found in the Midwest, such as St. Louis, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, and Chicago, along with those found in the Ohio Valley region such as Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh.

CONTINUED RECOVERY IN THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR 9 DISTRESS & DELINQUENCIES During 3Q13, the amount of distressed (Troubled and REO) industrial real estate declined by approximately $0.4 billion to $11.2 billion. Among the core property types, industrial represented only 7.4% (the lowest) of the remaining $151.2 billion in total outstandings. While industrial workouts (Restructured and Resolved) improved to 61.2%, this figure still trails the all property type average of 62.8%. Billions ($) RCA data indicated that four markets $5 (Chicago, Detroit, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles) accounted for nearly 24.0% of the nation s $- outstanding distressed industrial property, a decrease of 100 bps from the previous quarter. The tertiary southeast markets represented an additional 5.4%, a decrease of 80 bps sequentially. $35 $30 $25 $20 $15 $10 Resolved: Restructured: REO: Troubled: Sources: Real Capital Analytics, PNC Real Estate Market Research 3Q13 INDUSTRIAL CUMULATIVE DISTRESS VOLUME $13.1 Billion $ 4.5 Billion $ 4.8 Billion $ 6.4 Billion As reported by Trepp, the overall CMBS delinquency rate declined for the fourth consecutive month and ended the quarter at 8.1%, a decrease of 30 bps sequentially and down 190 bps annually. During the quarter, the industrial CMBS delinquency rate rose approximately 8 bps to 11.6%. Despite this high number, it is still below the figure of 12.2% from the year prior. According to RCA, new instances of distress involving industrial properties continue to slow, and in 3Q13 were less than a third of levels a year ago. By year-end, close to 65% of the $29.0B of industrial loans that soured this cycle will have been resolved. While CMBS issuance is on track to double this year, its share of industrial financings declined, as lenders from all sectors have stepped up their activity. However, significant gains in the share of lending by national banks likely reflect conduit originations not yet securitized. Regional banks are increasing their market share and may well account for a quarter of industrial mortgage originations soon.
