Management's Report on Internal Control

We, as management of Duke Realty Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "General Partner"), are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

Management has evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 based on the control criteria established in a report entitled Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on such evaluation, we have concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria.

The independent registered public accounting firm of KPMG LLP, as auditors of the General Partner's consolidated financial statements, has also issued an audit report on the General Partner's internal control over financial reporting.

Duke Realty Corporation:

Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Duke Realty Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, cash flows, and changes in equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and financial statement schedule III - real estate and accumulated depreciation (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Basis for Opinions

The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.    

-3-

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Assessment of certain values assigned to acquired assets and liabilities in certain asset acquisitions

As discussed in Notes 2 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company acquired approximately $571 million of real estate assets in 2021. For asset acquisitions, the Company records the purchase price to the tangible and identified intangible assets based on its “as-if vacant” fair value and other valuation techniques.

We identified the assessment of the fair value of land and the below market component of in-place leases in certain asset acquisitions as a critical audit matter. There is a high degree of subjective auditor judgment in determining the fair value of land and market rents used to determine the below market component of in-place leases.

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following. We tested certain internal controls over the Company’s asset allocation process, including controls to identify and select publicly available comparable land sales and market rents used to estimate the fair value of land and the below market component of in-place leases, respectively. We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in comparing:

Management's Report on Internal Control

We, as management of Duke Realty Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries (the "Partnership"), are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, of Duke Realty Corporation (the "General Partner"), and effected by the General Partner's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

Management has evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 based on the control criteria established in a report entitled Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on such evaluation, we have concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria.

The independent registered public accounting firm of KPMG LLP, as auditors of the Partnership's consolidated financial statements, has also issued an audit report on the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Unitholders of Duke Realty Limited Partnership and the Board of Directors of Duke Realty Corporation:

Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Duke Realty Limited Partnership and subsidiaries (the  Partnership) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, cash flows, and changes in equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and financial statement schedule III - real estate and accumulated depreciation (collectively, the consolidated financial statements).

DUKE REALTY CORPORATION AND DUKE REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)The Company

The General Partner was formed in 1985, and we believe that it qualifies as a REIT under the provisions of the Code. The Partnership was formed on October 4, 1993, when the General Partner contributed all of its properties and related assets and liabilities, together with the net proceeds from an offering of additional shares of its common stock, to the Partnership. Simultaneously, the Partnership completed the acquisition of Duke Associates, a full-service commercial real estate firm operating in the Midwest whose operations began in 1972.

The General Partner is the sole general partner of the Partnership, owning approximately 99.1% of the Common Units at December 31, 2021. The remaining 0.9% of the Common Units are owned by limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Partnership, the General Partner has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Partnership. The General Partner and the Partnership are operated as one enterprise. The management of the General Partner consists of the same members as the management of the Partnership. As the sole general partner with control of the Partnership, the General Partner consolidates the Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the General Partner does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the General Partner and the Partnership are substantially the same.

Limited partners have the right to redeem their Limited Partner Units, subject to certain restrictions. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner is obligated to redeem the Limited Partner Units in shares of its common stock, unless it determines in its reasonable discretion that the issuance of shares of its common stock could cause it to fail to qualify as a REIT. Each Limited Partner Unit shall be redeemed for one share of the General Partner's common stock, or, in the event that the issuance of shares could cause the General Partner to fail to qualify as a REIT, cash equal to the fair market value of one share of the General Partner's common stock at the time of redemption, in each case, subject to certain adjustments described in the Partnership Agreement. The Limited Partner Units are not required, per the terms of the Partnership Agreement, to be redeemed in registered shares of the General Partner.

As of December 31, 2021, we owned and operated a portfolio primarily consisting of industrial properties and provided real estate services to third-party owners, customers and joint ventures.

Substantially all of our Rental Operations (see Note 9) are conducted through the Partnership. We conduct our Service Operations (see Note 9) through Duke Realty Services, LLC, Duke Realty Services Limited Partnership and Duke Construction Limited Partnership ("DCLP"), which are consolidated entities that are 100% owned by a combination of the General Partner and the Partnership. DCLP is owned through a taxable REIT subsidiary.

(2)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries. The equity interests in these controlled subsidiaries not owned by us are reflected as noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Investments in entities that we do not control, and variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which we are not the primary beneficiary (to the extent applicable), are not consolidated and are reflected as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of reporting.

Due to the fact that the Limited Partners do not have kick out rights, or substantive participating rights, the Partnership is a VIE.  Because the General Partner holds majority ownership and exercises control over every aspect

-18-

DUKE REALTY CORPORATION AND DUKE REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

of the Partnership's operations, the General Partner has been determined as the primary beneficiary of the Partnership and, therefore, consolidates the Partnership.

The assets and liabilities of the General Partner and the Partnership are substantially the same, as the General Partner does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the Partnership.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2021 consolidated financial statement presentation.

Real Estate Investments

Rental real property, including land, land improvements, buildings and tenant improvements, are included in real estate investments and are generally stated at cost. Construction in process and undeveloped land are included in real estate investments and are stated at cost. Real estate investments also include our equity interests in unconsolidated joint ventures that own and operate rental properties and hold land for development.  

Depreciation

Buildings and land improvements are depreciated on the straight-line method over their estimated lives not to exceed 40 and 15 years, respectively, for properties that we develop, and not to exceed 30 and 10 years, respectively, for acquired properties. Tenant improvement costs are depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or term of the related lease.

Cost Capitalization

Direct and certain indirect costs, including interest, clearly associated with the development, construction or expansion of real estate investments are capitalized as a cost of the property. Direct costs include all leasing commissions paid to third parties for new leases or lease renewals. We capitalize a portion of our indirect costs associated with our construction and development efforts. Costs that are incremental to executing a lease are capitalized. In assessing the amount of direct and indirect costs to be capitalized, allocations are made based on estimates of the actual amount of time spent in each activity. We do not capitalize any costs attributable to downtime or to unsuccessful projects.  

We capitalize interest and direct and indirect project costs during the period when we commence activities necessary to get the property ready for its intended use, including land entitlement and preconstruction activities, up to the time the property is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. In addition, we capitalize costs, including real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, that have been allocated to vacant space based on the square footage of the portion of the building not held available for immediate occupancy during the extended lease-up periods after construction of the building shell has been completed if costs are being incurred to ready the vacant space for its intended use. If costs and activities incurred to ready the vacant space cease, then cost capitalization is also discontinued until such activities are resumed. Once necessary work has been completed on a vacant space, project costs are no longer capitalized.

We cease capitalization of all project costs on extended lease-up periods when significant activities have ceased, which does not exceed the shorter of a one-year period after the completion of the building shell or when the property attains 90% occupancy.

Impairment

-19-

DUKE REALTY CORPORATION AND DUKE REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We evaluate our real estate assets, with the exception of those that are classified as held-for-sale, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If such an evaluation is considered necessary, we compare the carrying amount of that real estate asset, or asset group, with the expected undiscounted cash flows that are directly associated with, and that are expected to arise as a direct result of, the use and eventual disposition of that asset, or asset group. Our estimate of the expected future cash flows used in testing for impairment is based on, among other things, our estimates regarding future market conditions, rental rates, occupancy levels, costs of tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other tenant concessions, assumptions regarding the residual value of our properties at the end of our anticipated holding period and the length of our anticipated holding period and is, therefore, subjective by nature. These assumptions could differ materially from actual results. If our strategy changes or if market conditions otherwise dictate a reduction in the holding period and an earlier sale date, an impairment loss could be recognized and such loss could be material. To the extent the carrying amount of a real estate asset, or asset group, exceeds the associated estimate of undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its fair value.

The determination of the fair value of real estate assets is also highly subjective, especially in markets where there is a lack of recent comparable transactions. We primarily utilize the income approach to estimate the fair value of our income producing real estate assets. We utilize marketplace participant assumptions to estimate the fair value of a real estate asset when an impairment charge is required to be measured. The estimation of future cash flows, as well as the selection of the discount rate and exit capitalization rate used in applying the income approach, are highly subjective measures in estimating fair value.

Real estate assets classified as held-for-sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Once a property is designated as held-for-sale, no further depreciation expense is recorded.

Asset Acquisitions

Our acquisitions of properties have been accounted for as asset acquisitions as they have not met the definition of a business. Transaction costs related to asset acquisitions are capitalized. To the extent that we gain control of real estate properties that are accounted for as asset acquisitions, as opposed to business combinations, we accumulate the costs of any pre-existing equity interests and consideration paid for additional interest acquired and we do not remeasure our pre-existing equity interest. Generally contingencies arising from an asset acquisition are only recognized when probable.

We allocate the purchase price of asset acquisitions to tangible and identified intangible assets based on their relative fair values, using all pertinent information available at the date of acquisition. Capitalized acquisition costs are also included in the total cost basis of acquired properties that are asset acquisitions. The allocation to tangible assets (buildings, tenant improvements and land) is based upon management's determination of the value of the property as if it were vacant. This “as-if vacant” value is estimated using an income, or discounted cash flow, approach that relies upon internally determined assumptions that we believe are consistent with current market conditions for similar properties.  The most important assumptions in determining the allocation of the purchase price to tangible assets are the exit capitalization rate, estimated market rents and the fair value of the underlying land. The purchase price of real estate assets is also allocated to intangible assets consisting of the above or below market component of in-place leases and the value of in-place leases.

The value allocable to the above or below market component of an acquired in-place lease is determined based upon the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be received pursuant to the lease over its remaining term and (ii) management's estimate of the amounts that would be received using fair market rates over the remaining term of the lease. The amounts allocated to above market leases are included in deferred leasing and other costs in the

-20-

DUKE REALTY CORPORATION AND DUKE REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

balance sheet and below market leases are included in other liabilities in the balance sheet; both are amortized to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases.

Factors considered in determining the value allocable to in-place leases include estimates, during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, of space that is actually leased at the time of acquisition, of lost rent at market rates, fixed operating costs that will be recovered from tenants and theoretical leasing commissions required to execute similar leases. These intangible assets are included in deferred leasing and other costs in the balance sheet and are amortized over the remaining term of the existing lease.

Joint Ventures

We have equity interests in unconsolidated joint ventures that are primarily engaged in the operation and development of industrial real estate properties.

We consolidate joint ventures that are considered to be VIEs where we are the primary beneficiary. We analyze our investments in joint ventures to determine if the joint venture is considered a VIE and would require consolidation. We (i) evaluate the sufficiency of the total equity investment at risk, (ii) review the voting rights and decision-making authority of the equity investment holders as a group and whether there are limited partners (or similar owning entities) that lack substantive participating or kick out rights, guaranteed returns, protection against losses, or capping of residual returns within the group and (iii) establish whether activities within the venture are on behalf of an investor with disproportionately few voting rights in making this VIE determination.

To the extent that we own interests in a VIE and we (i) have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) have the obligation or rights to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE, then we would be determined to be the primary beneficiary and would consolidate the VIE.  To the extent that we own interests in a VIE, then at each reporting period, we re-assess our conclusions as to which, if any, party within the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary. Consolidated joint ventures that are VIE's were not significant in any period presented in these consolidated financial statements.

To the extent that our joint ventures do not qualify as VIEs, they are consolidated if we control them through majority ownership interests or if we are the managing entity (general partner or managing member) and our partner does not have substantive participating rights. Control is further demonstrated by our ability to unilaterally make significant operating decisions, refinance debt and sell the assets of the joint venture without the consent of the non-managing entity and the inability of the non-managing entity to remove us from our role as the managing entity.  Consolidated joint ventures that are not VIEs are not significant in any period presented in these consolidated financial statements.

We use the equity method of accounting for those joint ventures where we exercise significant influence but do not have control. Under the equity method of accounting, our investment in each joint venture is included on our balance sheet; however, the assets and liabilities of the joint ventures for which we use the equity method are not included on our balance sheet.

When we sell or contribute properties to unconsolidated joint ventures and retain a non-controlling ownership interest in such assets, we recognize the difference between the consideration received and the carrying amount of the asset sold or contributed when its derecognition criteria are met.  The equity method investment we retain in such partial sale transactions is noncash consideration and is measured at fair value.  As a result, the accounting for a partial sale results in the recognition of a full gain or loss.

When circumstances indicate there may have been a reduction in the value of an equity investment, we evaluate whether the loss in value is other than temporary.  If we conclude it is other than temporary, we recognize an impairment charge to reflect the equity investment at fair value.

-21-

DUKE REALTY CORPORATION AND DUKE REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In July 2021, we entered into a 20%-owned unconsolidated joint venture with CBRE Global Investors ("CBREGI") with plans to contribute three tranches of properties. We contributed two separate tranches of properties to the joint venture during 2021 (see Note 5) while the third tranche was closed in January 2022 (see Note 14). The joint venture financed the acquisition of these properties with a combination of third party first mortgage loans and equity contributions from our partner in this joint venture.

There were no unconsolidated joint ventures, in which we have any recognized assets or liabilities or have retained any economic exposure to loss at December 31, 2021 that met the criteria to be considered VIEs. At December 31, 2021, we guaranteed the repayment of a loan associated with one of our unconsolidated joint ventures. The maximum guarantee exposure for the loan was approximately $4.8 million.

Cash Equivalents

Investments with an original maturity of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents.

Valuation of Receivables

Our determination of the adequacy of our allowances for tenant receivables includes a binary assessment of whether or not the amounts due under a tenant’s lease agreement are probable of collection. For such amounts that are deemed probable of collection, revenue continues to be recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For such amounts that are deemed not probable of collection, revenue is recorded as the lesser of (i) the amount which would be recognized on a straight-line basis or (ii) cash that has been received from the tenant, with any tenant and deferred rent receivable balances charged as a direct write-off against rental income in the period of the change in the collectability determination.

Deferred Costs

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are deferred and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related loan. The costs for issuing debt, other than lines of credit, are presented on the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the debt's carrying value, while debt issuance costs related to the Partnership's unsecured line of credit are presented as assets on the consolidated balance sheets, as part of other escrow deposits and other assets.

Lease Related Costs and Acquired Lease-Related Intangible Assets

Costs that are directly incremental to executing a lease are capitalized.

Acquired lease-related intangible assets consist of above market lease assets and the value allocable to in-place leases. Above market lease assets are amortized as a reduction to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. In-place lease intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis and included within depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Deferred leasing costs and acquired lease-related intangible assets at December 31, 2021 and 2020, excluding amounts classified as held-for-sale, were as follows (in thousands):

-22-

DUKE REALTY CORPORATION AND DUKE REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Amounts recorded related to amortization expense for in-place leases for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 totaled $20.4 million, $19.5 million and $22.0 million, respectively. Charges to rental income related to the amortization of above market lease assets for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 totaled $367,000, $639,000 and $703,000, respectively.

The expected future amortization, or charge to rental income, of acquired lease-related intangible assets is summarized in the table below (in thousands):

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests relate to the minority ownership interests in the Partnership and interests in consolidated property partnerships that are not wholly owned by the General Partner or the Partnership. Noncontrolling interests are subsequently adjusted for additional contributions, distributions to noncontrolling holders and the noncontrolling holders' proportionate share of the net earnings or losses of each respective entity. We report noncontrolling interests as a component of total equity.

When a Common Unit of the Partnership is redeemed (Note 1), the change in ownership is treated as an equity transaction by the General Partner and there is no effect on its earnings or net assets.

Revenue Recognition

Rental and Related Revenue

Rental income from leases to customers is recognized on a straight-line basis.  If a lease provides for tenant improvements, we determine whether we or the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements. 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 as revenue over the lease term. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, and we fund such improvements, we record such tenant improvement allowances as lease incentives and amortize as a reduction of revenue over the lease term.

We record lease termination fees when a tenant has executed a definitive termination agreement with us and the payment of the termination fee is not subject to any material conditions that must be met or waived before the fee is due to us.

General Contractor and Service Fee Revenue

General contractor and service fee revenues are comprised primarily of construction and development related revenues earned from third parties while acting in capacity of a developer, as a general contractor or a construction manager. We evaluate the goods and services provided in these construction arrangements to determine whether we are acting as principal or agent and, accordingly, recognize revenue on a gross or net basis based on that evaluation.  There are other ancillary streams of revenue included in general contractor and service fee revenues (see Note 9), such as management fees earned from unconsolidated joint ventures in accordance with the terms specific to each arrangement, which are not significant.

Our construction arrangements are typically structured with only one performance obligation, which generally represents an obligation either to construct a new building or to construct fixtures in an existing building, and these single performance obligations are satisfied over time as construction progresses. We recognize revenue as we satisfy such performance obligations using the percentage of completion method, which is an input method.  Using this method, profits are recorded based on our estimates of the percentage of completion of individual contracts, commencing when the work performed under the contracts reaches a point where the final costs can be estimated with reasonable accuracy. The percentage of completion estimates are based on a comparison of the contract expenditures incurred to the estimated final costs. We believe the percentage of completion method is a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods and services as changes in job performance and estimated profitability, which result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined, have not historically been significant. We typically receive regular progress payments on the majority of our construction arrangements and such arrangements generally have an original duration of less than one year. As the result of the relatively short duration of our construction arrangements, we apply the optional disclosure exemptions, related to our remaining performance obligations for our in-process construction projects, for which any future variable consideration is not material. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.  To the extent that a fixed-price contract is estimated to result in a loss, the loss is recorded immediately.

Opening and closing balances of construction receivables are presented separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under billed and over billed receivables on construction contracts totaled $45.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2021 and $16.6 million and $105,000, respectively, at December 31, 2020.  Over billed receivables are included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We generally do not have any contract assets associated with our construction arrangements.

Management fees are based on a percentage of rental receipts of properties managed and are recognized as the rental receipts are collected. Maintenance fees are based upon established hourly rates and are recognized as the services are performed.

Property Sales

Only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations (for example, a disposal of a major geographic area or a major line of business) should be presented as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20, without consideration of significant continuing involvement.

We recognize gains on sales of properties, including partial sales, of non-financial assets (and in-substance non-financial assets) when the recognition criteria are met.  In the typical course of our business, sales of non-financial assets represent only one performance obligation and are recognized when an enforceable contract is in place, collectability is ensured and control is transferred to the buyer.

Leases

-24-

DUKE REALTY CORPORATION AND DUKE REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As a lessor, our primary business is the development, acquisition, and operation of industrial real estate properties that are held for investment and leased to tenants. We manage residual risk through investing in properties that we believe will appreciate in value over time. We also evaluate the collectability of the cash flows of our leases prior to their execution, and on an ongoing basis, to ensure collectability is probable prior to recognizing lease revenues on an accrual basis.

We only capitalize the incremental costs of signing a lease. Non-incremental costs attributable to successful leases, as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, represent internal costs allocable to successful leasing activities and exclude estimated costs related to downtime and/or unsuccessful deals.  These costs primarily consist of compensation and other benefits for internal leasing and legal personnel.  These costs are not capitalizable "incremental costs" in the context of the applicable lease accounting rules, but we believe separate presentation on the Consolidated Statements of Operations provides useful information for purposes of comparability with economically similar success-based costs incurred by other organizations that outsource their leasing functions, which are generally capitalizable.

We exclude certain lessor costs, such as real estate taxes and insurance, that are paid directly by lessees to third parties, from rental revenue and the associated rental expense. Lessor costs that are paid by the lessor and reimbursed by the lessee continue to be recorded through rental revenue and the associated rental expense.

The applicable lease accounting rules allow a practical expedient for lessors to not separate rental recovery revenue related to lease-related services from the associated rental revenue related to the lease when certain criteria are met. The lease-related services provided to our tenants include property management, common area maintenance ("CAM") and utilities. We assessed the applicable criteria, concluding that the timing and straight-line pattern of transfer to the lessees for rental recovery revenue from our lease-related services and revenue from the underlying leases are the same and that lease classification does not change, and we have consistently applied this practical expedient in all periods presented.

As a lessee, we apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset. This classification determines whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In the capacity of a lessee, we record a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of classification.

See Note 3 for further disclosure on our leases as a lessor and lessee.

Net Income Per Common Share or Common Unit

Basic net income per common share or Common Unit is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders or common unitholders, less dividends or distributions on share-based awards expected to vest (referred to as "participating securities" and primarily composed of unvested restricted stock units), by the weighted average number of common shares or Common Units outstanding for the period.

Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing the sum of net income attributable to common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in earnings allocable to Limited Partner Units (to the extent the Limited Partner Units are dilutive), less dividends or distributions on participating securities that are anti-dilutive, by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and, to the extent they are dilutive, weighted average number of Limited Partner Units outstanding and any potential dilutive securities for the period. Diluted net income per Common Unit is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common unitholders, less dividends or distributions on participating securities that are anti-dilutive, by the sum of the weighted average number of Common Units outstanding and any potential dilutive securities for the period.

Federal Income Taxes

General Partner

The General Partner has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code, as amended. To qualify as a REIT, the General Partner must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders. Management intends to continue to adhere to these requirements and to maintain the General Partner's REIT status. As a REIT, the General Partner is entitled to a tax deduction for the dividends it pays to shareholders. Accordingly, the General Partner generally will not be subject to federal income taxes as long as it currently distributes to shareholders an amount equal to or in excess of its taxable income. The General Partner is, however, generally subject to federal income taxes on any taxable income that is not currently distributed to its shareholders. If the General Partner fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years.

REIT qualification reduces, but does not eliminate, the amount of state and local taxes we pay. In addition, our financial statements include the operations of taxable corporate subsidiaries that are not entitled to a dividends paid deduction and are subject to federal, state and local income taxes.  As a REIT, the General Partner may also be subject to certain federal excise taxes if it engages in certain types of transactions.

Partnership

For the Partnership, the allocated share of income and loss other than the operations of its taxable REIT subsidiary is included in the income tax returns of its partners; accordingly the only federal income taxes included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Partnership are in connection with its taxable REIT subsidiary.

Income taxes are not material to our operating results or financial position. Our taxable REIT subsidiary has no significant net deferred income tax positions or unrecognized tax benefit items.

Cash Paid for Income Taxes

We paid federal, state and local income taxes, net of income tax refunds, of $22.2 million and $7.8 million in 2021 and 2019, respectively. We received income tax refunds, net of federal, state and local income tax payments, of $308,000 in 2020.

Fair Value Measurements

We estimate fair value using available market information and valuation methodologies. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

-27-

DUKE REALTY CORPORATION AND DUKE REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to which we have access.

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity's own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We periodically enter into certain interest rate protection agreements to effectively convert or cap floating rate debt to a fixed rate, and to hedge anticipated future financing transactions, both of which qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The entire effect of any hedging instruments and hedged items are presented in the same income statement line item.

If a derivative qualifies as a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. For all hedging relationships, we formally document the hedging relationship and its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively.  

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(3)Leases

Lease Income

Our leases generally include scheduled rent increases, but do not include variable payments based on indexes.  Our rental revenue is primarily based on fixed, non-cancelable leases.  Our variable rental revenue primarily consists of amounts recovered from lessees for property tax, insurance and CAM.

All revenues related to lease and lease-related services are included in, and comprise substantially all of, the caption "Rental and Related Revenue" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The components of Rental and Related Revenue are as follows (in thousands):

The future minimum rents due to us under non-cancelable operating leases are as follows (in thousands):

Lessee Accounting

As of December 31, 2021, our lease arrangements, where we are the lessee, primarily consisted of office and ground leases.  For these lease arrangements, we recognized ROU assets and the corresponding lease liabilities representing the discounted value of future lease payments required.  In determining these amounts, we elected an available practical expedient that allows us, as a lessee, to not separate lease and non-lease components. Expenses recognized on these leases for the year ended December 31, 2021 were not material.

Our operating leases primarily include all of our office leases and two ground leases.  As of December 31, 2021, a $36.8 million ROU asset associated with operating leases was included within Other Escrow Deposits and Other Assets and a corresponding lease liability of $41.4 million was included in Other Liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2020, total ROU assets and liabilities for operating leases were $38.9 million and $42.9 million, respectively. The following table summarizes the future lease payments (in thousands) to be made under non-cancellable operating lease arrangements:

The weighted average remaining lease term for our operating lease arrangements, on a combined basis as of December 31, 2021, was 34.3 years. The weighted average discount rate for our operating lease arrangements as of

-29-

DUKE REALTY CORPORATION AND DUKE REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2021 was 4.42%. As the discount rates implied in our operating lease arrangements were not readily determinable, we utilized our current credit ratings and credit yields observed from market traded securities with similar credit ratings to form a reasonable basis to establish secured borrowing rates when determining the present value of future operating lease payments.

Our finance leases include two long term ground leases.  As of December 31, 2021, a $37.5 million ROU asset associated with finance leases was included within Other Escrow Deposits and Other Assets and a corresponding $39.2 million lease liability was included within Other Liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2020, total finance lease related ROU assets and liabilities were $19.2 million and $19.4 million, respectively. The future lease payments (in thousands) under our finance leases as of December 31, 2021 for five years and thereafter are as follows:

The ground lease payment obligation for one ground lease is subject to an annual consumer price index increase limited within a minimum 2% and a maximum 3% increase. The contractual obligations for both leases included above assume the minimum annual increase for the remainder of the lease term since we cannot predict future adjustments. The weighted average remaining lease term for our finance lease arrangements, on a combined basis as of December 31, 2021 was 54.2 years. The weighted average discount rate for our finance lease arrangements as of December 31, 2021 was 5.12%. The lessors' implicit rates in the leases were readily determinable when the leases were commenced.

(4)Restricted Cash

Restricted cash primarily consists of cash proceeds from dispositions but restricted only for qualifying like-kind exchange transactions and cash held in escrow related to acquisition and disposition holdbacks.  The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (in thousands):

(5)Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisitions and dispositions for the periods presented were completed in accordance with our strategy to reposition our investment concentration among the markets in which we operate and to increase our overall investment concentration in Coastal Tier 1 markets. Transaction costs related to asset acquisitions are capitalized.

Acquisitions

The following table summarizes our real estate acquisition activities for the years ended December 31 (dollars in thousands):

During 2021, we acquired a container storage lot in Northern New Jersey for a combination of $64.0 million of cash and Limited Partner Units with a fair value of $11.6 million. This income producing acquisition is included as part of land and other real estate assets above and also included in the table below.

The following table summarizes amounts recognized for each major class of assets and liabilities (in thousands) for  acquisitions of income producing properties during the years ended December 31:

The leases in the acquired properties had a weighted average remaining life at acquisition of approximately 11.0 years, 6.4 years and 6.5 years during 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Distribution of Joint Venture Properties

As part of a plan of dissolution, we received a non-cash distribution of real estate assets from two 50%-owned unconsolidated joint ventures. These joint ventures distributed their ownership in two in-service properties and certain parcels of undeveloped land to our partner, who shares control with us over both joint ventures, while distributing their ownership interest in an in-service property, a property under construction and a parcel of undeveloped land to us. These distributions were based on values negotiated between us and our partner on an arms-length basis and we determined that these negotiated values represented the fair value of the assets at their highest and best use, as determined from the perspective of a market participant. Concurrent with these asset distributions, both we and our partner assumed and repaid all of the joint ventures' unsecured debt, with each party paying off an amount necessary for the value of the assets distributed, net of debt repayments, to be equal.

DUKE REALTY CORPORATION AND DUKE REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As the result of this dissolution transaction, we recognized a gain of $10.6 million (included in equity in earnings in the Consolidated Statements of Operations), which was related to the properties distributed to our partner. We did not recognize a gain to remeasure our existing ownership interest in the assets we received in distribution and we recognized such assets at a combined basis of $52.2 million in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (not included in the 2021 Acquisitions table above). We assumed and immediately repaid unsecured debt of the joint ventures totaling $40.2 million.

Fair Value Measurements

We determine the fair value of the individual components of income producing real estate asset acquisitions primarily through calculating the "as-if vacant" value of a building, using an income approach, which relies significantly upon internally determined assumptions. We have determined that these estimates primarily rely on Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions. The most significant assumptions used in calculating the "as-if vacant" value for acquisition activity during 2021 and 2020, respectively, are as follows:

The estimate of the portion of the "as-if vacant" value that is allocated to the land underlying the acquired real estate relies on Level 3 inputs and is primarily determined by reference to recent comparable transactions.

Capitalized acquisition costs were insignificant and the fair value of net assets acquired from unrelated parties during the year ended December 31, 2021 was substantially the same as the cost of acquisition.

Dispositions

Dispositions of buildings (see Note 7 for the number of buildings sold in each year) and undeveloped land generated net cash proceeds of $1.07 billion, $336.3 million and $432.7 million in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

On July 22, 2021, we closed on the sale of 14 wholly-owned buildings and 15 acres of undeveloped land, for net cash proceeds of $286.3 million, which completed our previously announced exit from the St. Louis market.  This sale did not represent a strategic shift in operations.

In addition, in July 2021 we entered into a 20%-owned unconsolidated joint venture with plans to contribute three tranches of properties for a total of nine properties. Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture, on July 27, 2021, we contributed to the joint venture the first tranche of three properties, which consisted of two buildings and one trailer storage lot in Chicago and Atlanta, for net cash proceeds of $115.7 million. On September 21, 2021, we contributed the second tranche of three properties, which consisted of two buildings and one trailer storage lot in Baltimore, to the joint venture for net cash proceeds of $172.9 million. The joint venture financed the acquisition of these properties with a combination of third party first mortgage loans and equity contributions from our partner. we  received $41.1 million for our ownership share of proceeds from such third party first mortgage loans, which was included in capital distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2021. We closed on the contribution of the third tranche in January 2022 (see Note 14).

During 2020, we collected the remaining $110.0 million of principal on our outstanding notes receivable, which was related to the sale of our medical office portfolio during 2017.
