1. Interest Rate Risk: The most significant near-term concern for LXP, like other REITs, is the impact of rising interest rates, which increases the cost of money. This can affect borrowing costs and overall financial stability. As of September 30, 2025, LXP's total consolidated debt had a weighted-average interest rate of 3.9%.

2. Economic Volatility and Market Conditions: LXP's operations are sensitive to broader economic cycles. Economic downturns or sustained high interest rates can lead to increased vacancy rates, reduced rental income, and potential devaluation of properties, impacting the company's financial performance. Additionally, external factors like tariff uncertainty have been noted to slow leasing transactions and create a cautious market environment.

3. Tenant Retention and Single-Tenant Vacancy Risk: While LXP has a diversified tenant base with a significant portion from investment-grade companies, the company faces challenges related to tenant retention. Specifically, LXP anticipates lower tenant retention for 2025 as existing leases are below current market rates. There is also a risk that large single-tenant vacancies could persist, or that rent growth might be hindered by concessions in competitive submarkets.

LXP Industrial Trust (LXP) is expected to drive future revenue growth over the next 2-3 years through several key strategies and market dynamics:

1. Mark-to-Market Opportunities and Contractual Rent Escalations: LXP anticipates significant revenue growth from re-leasing properties at higher market rates as existing leases expire. The company has identified an approximate 17% mark-to-market opportunity on leases expiring through 2030, which could increase annual cash rent. Additionally, existing leases include contractual annual rent escalations, with an average rate of 2.7% across its portfolio, providing a built-in revenue increase.
2. Strategic Investment and Development in High-Growth Markets: LXP is focused on expanding its portfolio through acquisitions and development projects primarily within 12 target markets in the Sunbelt and Lower Midwest regions. These markets are experiencing population and job growth at 2.3x and 1.7x the national average, respectively, along with significant manufacturing investment, which drives demand for industrial properties. The company's multi-channel investment strategy allows for flexibility in pursuing various income and growth opportunities.
3. Maintaining High Portfolio Occupancy and Demand for Class A Facilities: The company consistently aims for high portfolio occupancy rates, with its same-store portfolio being 99.2% leased at the end of Q3 2024 and overall portfolio occupancy increasing to 96.8% in Q3 2025. LXP's focus on Class A industrial properties, which represent 92% of its portfolio and have an average age of 9.8 years, positions it to benefit from the ongoing tenant preference for modern, high-quality logistics and distribution facilities.
4. Capital Recycling and Development Pipeline: LXP actively engages in capital recycling by strategically disposing of non-core or vacant assets, often at a premium to book value, to repay debt and fund new development and acquisition opportunities. The successful leasing and stabilization of its development and redevelopment pipeline are expected to contribute to increased rental income, with 98% of its development program successfully leased or sold.
