The financial results are expressed in U.S. dollars and are presented in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, 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 condensed consolidated interim 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-quality platforms operating across the region.1Q26 Financial and Operating HighlightsRevenue growth momentum accelerated in the first quarter, increasing 21.6%. Growth was mainly driven by a 39.9% increase in rental revenues in Peru, primarily reflecting the stabilization of newly constructed buildings in LPA’s Callao Logistics Park. Rental rate growth and a positive foreign exchange effect drove a 24.8% revenue increase in Colombia, while Mexico contributed $0.5 million of rental revenue generated by the two investment properties acquired in Puebla in August 2025.1Q26 Net Operating Income (NOI) increased 28.6% to $12.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, driven by improved operating leverage across the Colombia and Peru segments of LPA’s logistics platform.Same-Property Cash NOI increased 10.9% to $9.82 million in 1Q26, primarily due to rental rate growth and the expiration of rent abatements.Operating GLA increased 9.7% to 5.8 million square feet across 34 operating properties, compared to 5.3 million square feet across 31 operating properties as of March 31, 2025. Average rent per square foot increased 9.8% to $8.74, primarily driven by contractual rent escalators, positive leasing spreads, and favorable currency movements. As of March 31, 2026, the occupancy rate in LPA’s operating portfolio was 100.0%, compared to 98.0% as of March 31, 2025.General and administrative expenses increased 13.3% to $4.0 million in 1Q26, primarily reflecting a one‑time tax charge in Colombia in connection with a government‑declared emergency during the quarter.CEO CommentaryWe are off to an exceptional start in 2026. Revenue surged 21.6% year-over-year and NOI expanded 28.6%, underscoring the powerful earnings trajectory of our regional logistics platform as recently stabilized and acquired assets begin to fully ramp. Peru delivered standout performance, driven by the successful stabilization of new buildings at our Callao logistics park, anchored by the LEED Gold-certified facility delivered to PepsiCo, which sharply accelerated rental revenue growth. The DHL-anchored properties we acquired last year in Mexico added further fuel to the quarter, validating both the strategic value of our initial entry into this much larger, high-growth market and the significant opportunity ahead.Just as importantly, this growth was powered by the strength of our underlying portfolio - not portfolio expansion alone. Same-Property Cash NOI climbed 10.9%, average rent per square foot rose 9.8%, and stabilized occupancy held at a full 100.0% across our operating portfolio. These results showcase the exceptional quality of our Class A logistics assets, the depth and durability of demand from global and regional tenants, and the significant pricing power we command with modern, well-located facilities in markets that remain structurally underserved. They also underscore the operating leverage materializing in our platform: NOI outpaced revenue growth for yet another quarter.Equally notable, we delivered this performance against a backdrop of continued macroeconomic and political volatility across our markets and globally, including an unforeseen one-time emergency tax in Colombia, a presidential transition in Peru, and escalating conflict in the Middle East. While these developments created near-term noise and incremental costs, they in no way detract from the strength of our underlying operations, our team’s ability to navigate complex environments, or our conviction in the fundamentals and secular trends of the markets and global customers we serve. If anything, they reinforce our conviction. Across Costa Rica, Peru, Colombia, and Mexico, the fundamental mid- and long-term demand drivers remain firmly intact and increasingly compelling: resilient domestic consumption, accelerating e-commerce adoption, supply chain regionalization, and pronounced structural undersupply of institutional-quality logistics infrastructure. Combined with the strength of our platform and the caliber of our team, we are exceptionally well positioned to continue capturing this opportunity.Against this backdrop, we remain laser-focused on disciplined capital allocation, proactive asset management, and long-term value creation as a fully integrated, internally managed logistics and industrial real estate company. Our execution is deliberate, and our strategy is built to compound value through cycles. With roughly 92% of our development pipeline already pre-leased, meaningful embedded rent growth potential, and a fully occupied operating portfolio, LPA is exceptionally well positioned to accelerate its expansion, scale its regional footprint, and further compound its earnings power. We are not just growing - we are strengthening our position as the only truly cross-border, diversified logistics partner for leading companies expanding across the Americas.Quarter after quarter, we are delivering on our vision: bridging local insight with global impact.Esteban SaldarriagaChief Executive OfficerReal Estate Portfolio As of March 31, 2026As of December 31, 2025As of March 31, 2025Number of operating real estate properties343431Operating GLA (sq. ft)5,804,2615,804,2615,292,588Leased area (sq. ft)6,208,6395,992,9955,810,181Number of tenants575857Average rent per square foot$8.74$8.65$7.96Weighted average remaining lease term4.7 years4.9 years5.0 yearsStabilized occupancy rate (% of GLA)100.0%100.0%98.0%Financial Performance Revenues (Amounts expressed in thousands of dollars, unless otherwise noted) For the three months ended March 31,20262025% Chg.Rental revenueCosta Rica6,1986,0013.3%Colombia2,9962,40024.8%Peru4,7063,36439.9%Mexico461—NMUnallocated revenue3875(49.5%)Total revenue$14,398$11,84021.6%Investment Property Operating Expenses (Amounts expressed in thousands of dollars, unless otherwise noted) For the three months ended March 31,20262025% Chg.Investment property operating expenseCosta Rica(935)(849)10.1%Colombia(383)(459)(16.5%)Peru(905)(1,030)(12.2%)Mexico(19)—NMTotal investment property operating expense$(2,242)$(2,338)(4.1%)Supplemental InformationPlease refer to LPA’s quarterly Supplemental Information and Management Discussion and Analysis, both of which are available on the Company’s Investor Relations website at: https://ir.lpamericas.com1Q26 Earnings Conference CallWhen: Thursday, May 14, 2026, 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time/8:00 a.m. Central TimeWho: Mr. Esteban Saldarriaga, Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Paul Smith, Chief Financial Officer, and Mr. Camilo Ulloa, Investor RelationsDial-in: +1 800 715 9871 (North American Toll-Free), +1 646 307 1963 (USA/International)Conference ID: Conference ID: 1974421Pre-Register: You may pre-register at any time: Click here.
