As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company owned a 95.14% and 96.36%, respectively, common equity interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership.  As used herein, the “Company” refers to STAG Industrial, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and partnerships, including the Operating Partnership, except where context otherwise requires.

The Company’s buildings were approximately 95.7% leased to 256 tenants as of September 30, 2015.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Interim Financial Information
 
The accompanying interim financial statements have been presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X for interim financial information.  Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with GAAP.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and their subsidiaries. Interests in the Operating Partnership not owned by the Company are referred to as “Noncontrolling Common Units.” These Noncontrolling Common Units are held by other limited partners in the form of common units ("Other Common Units") and long term incentive plan units (“LTIP units”) issued pursuant to the STAG Industrial, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2011 Plan”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation of entities. The financial statements of the Company are presented on a consolidated basis for all periods presented.

Reclassifications and New Accounting Pronouncements
 
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
In September of 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement Period Adjustments (Topic 805). ASU 2015-16 requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize provisional amounts when measurements were incomplete as of the end of a reporting period as an adjustment in the reporting period in which the provisional amount is determined. Prior to this standard, the acquirer was required to adjust such provisional amounts by restating prior period financial statements. ASU 2015-16 is effective for the annual period ending December 31, 2016 and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter with early adoption permitted. The Company has elected to early adopt this standard effective with the interim period beginning July 1, 2015 and this standard did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In April of 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (Subtopic 835-30). ASU 2015-03 requires incremental debt issuance costs paid to third parties other than the lender to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. Prior to this standard, debt issuance costs paid to third parties other than the lender were presented as an asset on the balance sheet. ASU 2015-03 is effective for the annual period ending December 31, 2016 and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter with early adoption permitted. Upon the adoption of ASU 2015-03, the Company will present debt issuance costs paid to third parties other than the lender as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. In August of 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements (Subtopic 835-30), which clarified the presentation of debt issuance costs related to credit facility arrangements, given the absence of authoritative guidance within ASU 2015-03. Under ASU 2015-15, debt issuance costs paid to third parties other than the lender related to credit facilities may be presented in the balance sheet as an asset, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the credit facility. Upon the adoption of ASU 2015-15, the Company will continue to present debt issuance costs paid to third parties other than the lender related to a credit facility as an asset on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In August of 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. ASU 2014-15 requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide certain disclosures when it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending December 31, 2016 and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May of 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue from a lease contract with a tenant is not within the scope of this revenue standard. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. Additionally, this guidance requires improved disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Tenant Accounts Receivable, net
 
Tenant accounts receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, includes both tenant accounts receivable, net and accrued rental income, net. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts against the portion of tenant accounts receivable that is estimated to be uncollectible. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
 
The Company accrues rental income earned, but not yet receivable, in accordance with GAAP. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had accrued rental income of $14.9 million and $12.8 million, respectively. The Company maintains an allowance for estimated losses that may result from those revenues. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had an allowance for estimated losses on accrued rental income of $0 and $0, respectively.
 
As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had a total of approximately $6.2 million and $6.7 million, respectively, of total lease security deposits available in the form of existing letters of credit, which are not reflected on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $4.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of lease security deposits available in cash, which are included in cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, and $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of lease security deposits available in cash, which are included in restricted cash on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. These funds may be used to settle tenant accounts receivables in the event of a default under the related lease. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company's total liability associated with these lease security deposits was $4.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively, and is included in tenant prepaid rent and security deposits on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Related Parties

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of amounts due from related parties, which are included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Revenue Recognition
 
Tenant Recoveries
 
By the terms of their leases, certain tenants are obligated to pay directly the costs of their properties’ insurance, real estate taxes, ground lease payments, and certain other expenses, and these costs are not reflected on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company does not recognize recovery revenue related to leases where the tenant has assumed the cost for real estate taxes, insurance, ground lease payments and certain other expenses. To the extent any tenant responsible for these costs under its respective lease defaults on its lease or it is deemed probable that the tenant will fail to pay for such costs, the Company will record a liability for such obligation. The Company estimates that real estate taxes, which are the responsibility of these certain tenants, were approximately $2.7 million, $7.8 million, $2.6 million and $7.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively. These amounts would have been the maximum expense of the Company had the tenants not met their contractual obligations for these periods.
 
Termination Income
 
On December 17, 2014, the Company entered into a first lease amendment with the tenant located at the Belfast, ME buildings. The terms of the lease amendment renewed 90,051 square feet of the premise and early terminated the remaining 228,928 square feet effective November 30, 2015. The tenant is required to pay a termination fee for the returned premise on or before October 31, 2015 in the amount of $2.1 million. The Company received the termination fee payment in full on September 23, 2015. This termination fee along with the reimbursement of certain miscellaneous costs per the lease amendment was being recorded on a straight-line basis from December 17, 2014 through the relinquishment of the space on November 30, 2015. On May 18, 2015, the Company entered into a second lease amendment with the tenant. The terms of the second lease amendment accelerated the termination of 35,295 square feet to April 30, 2015. The Company recognized the termination fee associated with the 35,295 square feet through the shortened lease life of April 30, 2015. The Company continues to recognize the remaining termination fee over the shortened lease life of the remaining 193,633 square feet through November 30, 2015. The termination fee of $0.5 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, is included in rental income on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
Taxes
 
Federal Income Taxes
 
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2011 and intends to continue to qualify as a REIT. The Company is generally not subject to corporate level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to its stockholders that it derives from its REIT qualifying activities. As a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code relating to such matters as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership.
 
The Company will not be required to make distributions with respect to income derived from the activities conducted through subsidiaries that the Company elects to treat as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) for federal income tax purposes, nor will it have to comply with income, assets, or ownership restrictions inside of the TRS. Certain activities that the Company undertakes must or should be conducted by a TRS, such as performing non-customary services for its tenants and holding assets that it cannot hold directly. A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes.  On August 25, 2015, the Company's TRS acquired two vacant land parcels in connection with the Libertyville, IL acquisition. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company's TRS recognized a net loss of $7,000 and $7,000, respectively, which has been included on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
State and Local Income, Excise, and Franchise Tax
 
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to certain state and local income, excise, and franchise taxes.  Taxes in the amount of $0.2 million, $0.8 million, $0.2 million and $0.4 million have been recorded in other expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively.

Uncertain Tax Positions
 

10

Table of Contents

Tax benefits of uncertain tax positions are recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained based solely on its technical merits, with the taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. The measurement of a tax benefit for an uncertain tax position that meets the “more likely than not” threshold is based on a cumulative probability model under which the largest amount of tax benefit recognized is the amount with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority having full knowledge of all the relevant information.  As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were no liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

Loss on Impairments

The Company recorded a loss on impairment for the three months ended June 30, 2015 related to a vacant building in Hazelwood, MO. The Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell this property prior to June 30, 2015 to a third party market participant. The Company tested the property for impairment at December 31, 2014 and no impairment was noted. The Company updated the impairment calculation quarterly for changes in assumptions as necessary. The Company tested the property for impairment as of June 30, 2015 and it was determined that the carrying value of the asset group, based on the Company’s assessment of the various hold and sell scenarios, was not recoverable from the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. Accordingly, the property was written down to its estimated fair value of $4.4 million and the Company recorded an impairment loss of $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. This loss was recorded in loss on impairments on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the property was based on unobservable inputs ("Level 3") and this was a non-recurring fair value measurement. This property was sold during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

The Company recorded a loss on impairment for the three months ended September 30, 2015 related to the property located in Canton, OH. The Company entered into a letter of intent to sell this property prior to September 30, 2015 to a third party market participant. The Company tested the property for impairment as of September 30, 2015 and it was determined that the carrying value of the asset group, based on the Company’s assessment of the various hold and sell scenarios, was not recoverable from the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. Accordingly, the property was written down to its estimated fair value of $1.6 million and the Company recorded an impairment loss of $2.9 million based on a discounted cash flow analysis. This loss was recorded in loss on impairments on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the property is based on Level 3 inputs and this is a non-recurring fair value measurement. The fair value was calculated using the following key Level 3 inputs: discount rate of 9.0% and exit capitalization rate of 12.0%. The letter of intent for the property included various contingencies, and was terminated subsequent to September 30, 2015.

The Company recorded a loss on impairment for the three months ended September 30, 2015 related to the property located in Jefferson, NC. The Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell this property prior to September 30, 2015 to a third party market participant. The Company tested the property for impairment as of September 30, 2015 and it was determined that the carrying value of the asset group, based on the Company’s assessment of the various hold and sell scenarios, was not recoverable from the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. Accordingly, the property was written down to its estimated fair value of $1.0 million based on pricing from market transactions for comparable properties and the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1.4 million. This loss was recorded in loss on impairments on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the property is based on Level 3 inputs and this is a non-recurring fair value measurement. Since the purchase and sale agreement for the property includes various contingencies, the Company can make no assurance that it will sell the property or, if it does, what the timing of the sale will be.

The Company recorded a loss on impairment for the three months ended September 30, 2015 related to the property located in Milwaukee, WI. The Company entered into a letter of intent to sell this property prior to September 30, 2015 to a third party market participant. The Company tested the property for impairment as of September 30, 2015 and it was determined that the carrying value of the asset group, based on the Company’s assessment of the various hold and sell scenarios, was not

recoverable from the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. Accordingly, the property was written down to its estimated fair value of $3.9 million based on pricing from market transactions for comparable properties and the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1.4 million. This loss was recorded in loss on impairments on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the property is based on Level 3 inputs and this is a non-recurring fair value measurement. Since the letter of intent for the property includes various contingencies, the Company can make no assurance that it will sell the property or, if it does, what the timing of the sale will be.
 
Deferred Leasing Intangibles
 
The Company allocates the purchase price of business combinations of properties based upon the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, which generally consist of land, buildings, tenant improvements, mortgage debt assumed, and deferred leasing intangibles which includes in‑place leases, above market and below market leases, and tenant relationships. The portion of the purchase price that is allocated to above and below market leases is valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in‑place rates measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease term plus the term of any bargain renewal options. The above and below market lease values are amortized into rental income over the remaining term plus the terms of bargain renewal options of the respective leases. The purchase price is further allocated to in‑place lease values and tenant relationships based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and its overall relationship with the respective tenant. The value of in‑place lease intangibles and tenant relationships, which are included as components of deferred leasing intangibles, are amortized over the remaining lease term (and expected renewal periods of the respective lease for tenant relationships) as increases or decreases to depreciation and amortization expense. If a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of above and below market leases are accelerated into rental income and the in‑place lease value and tenant relationships are accelerated into depreciation or amortization expense over the shortened lease term.

The purchase price allocated to deferred leasing intangible assets are included in rental property on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and the purchase price allocated to deferred leasing intangible liabilities are included in the deferred leasing intangibles on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets under the liabilities section.

Deferred leasing intangibles on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of the following (in thousands):

The aggregate undrawn nominal commitments on the combined unsecured credit facility and unsecured term loans as of September 30, 2015 was $572.3 million. Our actual borrowing capacity at any given point in time may be less and is restricted to a maximum amount based on the Company's unencumbered assets.

On January 22, 2015, the Company assumed a mortgage note of approximately $11.8 million in connection with the acquisition of the Burlington, NJ property. The mortgage note was paid in full immediately subsequent to the acquisition.
 
On February 20, 2015, the Company issued $100 million of its 4.32% Series D 10-year unsecured notes and $20 million of its 4.42% Series E 12-year unsecured notes.
 
On June 25, 2015, the Company assumed a mortgage note with National Life Insurance Company of approximately $4.9 million in connection with the acquisition of the property located in Charlotte, NC, which serves as collateral for the debt. The debt matures on August 10, 2016 and bears interest at 5.75% per annum. The assumed debt was recorded at fair value and a fair value premium of approximately $0.1 million was recorded. The fair value of debt was determined by discounting the future cash flows using the current rate of approximately 3.05% at which loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for loans with similar remaining maturities, similar terms, and similar loan-to-value ratios. The fair value of the debt is based on Level 3 inputs and is a non-recurring fair value measurement.

On September 29, 2015, the Company assumed a mortgage note with Principal Life Insurance Company of approximately $5.7 million in connection with the acquisition of the property located in Conyers, GA, which serves as collateral for the debt. The debt matures on May 5, 2017 and bears interest at 5.73% per annum. The assumed debt was recorded at fair value and a fair value premium of approximately $0.3 million was recorded. The fair value of debt was determined by discounting the future cash flows using the current rate of approximately 2.64% at which loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for loans with similar remaining maturities, similar terms, and similar loan-to-value ratios. The fair value of the debt is based on Level 3 inputs and is a non-recurring fair value measurement.

On September 29, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to the unsecured credit facility to increase the capacity thereunder to $450.0 million. Additionally, the accordion feature that allows the Company to request an increase in the aggregate commitments subject to satisfaction of conditions and lender consent was increased, such that if the accordion was exercised in full, total capacity would be $800.0 million. The material terms of the agreement, including the financial covenants, are unchanged. The Company incurred $1.0 million in deferred financing fees, which will be amortized over the remaining term of the unsecured credit facility.

On September 29, 2015, the Company closed a $150.0 million unsecured term loan with Wells Fargo, N.A. ("Wells Fargo Unsecured Term Loan C") with the following terms:

The Wells Fargo Unsecured Term Loan C has an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase its borrowing capacity to $250.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and bank approval. The Company incurred $1.0 million in deferred financing fees associated with the closing of the Wells Fargo Unsecured Term Loan C, which will be amortized over its five year term. The agreement includes a delayed draw feature that allows the Company to draw up to six advances of at least $25.0 million each. The Company and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership are guarantors of the Wells Fargo Unsecured Term Loan C. The agreement also contains financial covenants substantially similar to the financial covenants in the unsecured credit facility.
 
Deferred financing fees, net of accumulated amortization were $9.7 million and $7.8 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and are included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, amortization of deferred financing fees included in interest expense was $0.4 million, $1.1 million, $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
 
Financial Covenant Considerations
 
The Company’s unsecured credit facility, unsecured term loans, unsecured notes, and mortgage notes are subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial and other covenants. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
 
Fair Value of Debt
 
The fair value of the Company’s debt was determined by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for loans with similar remaining maturities, similar terms, and similar loan-to-value ratios. The discount rates ranged from 1.34% to 4.39% and 1.32% to 4.27% at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and were applied to each individual debt instrument. The fair value of the Company’s debt is based on Level 3 inputs. The following table presents the aggregate principal outstanding of the Company’s debt and the corresponding estimate of fair value as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

5. Use of Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
 
The Company’s use of derivative instruments is limited to the utilization of interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk exposure on existing and future liabilities and not for speculative purposes. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and related costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure.

The following table details the Company’s outstanding interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2015 (in thousands):
