Q4 – 2019 Investor Presentation
This presentation contains "forward-looking information" as defined under Canadian securities laws which reflect management’s expectations regarding objectives, plans, goals, strategies, future growth, results of operations, performance, business prospects and opportunities of WPT Industrial Real Estate Investment Trust (the “REIT"), , including statements concerning the REIT anticipated acquisition of four investment properties from its private capital pipeline and the expected purchase price therefor and timing for completion thereof, as well as the immediately accretive impact on the REIT’s AFFO expected from this acquisition. The words “plans”, “expects”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “projects”, “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases (including negative variations) or statements to the effect that certain actions, events or results “may”, “will”, “could”, “would”, “might”, “be achieved”, or “continue” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements are necessarily based on a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management of the REIT as of the date of this presentation, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Such estimates, beliefs and assumptions include the various assumptions set forth herein, including, but are not limited to, the REIT’s ability to meet conditions on the acquisition of the Acquisition Portfolio will be met or waived in a timely manner and that the acquisition of the Acquisition Portfolio will be completed on the current agreed upon terms, the REIT’s and the property’s future growth potential, anticipated amounts of expenses (or whether such expenses will be non-recurring), results of operations, future prospects and opportunities, the demographic and industry trends remaining unchanged, no change in legislative or regulatory matters, future levels of indebtedness, the tax laws as currently in effect remaining unchanged, the continual availability of capital, the current economic conditions remaining unchanged, and continued positive net absorption and declining vacancy rates in the markets in which the REIT’s properties are located. When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, the REIT cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these statements, as forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties and should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not the times at or by which such performance or results will be achieved, if achieved at all. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to those factors discussed or referenced under the “Risk Factors” section of the REIT’s most recently filed MD&A and the REIT’s annual information form (the “AIF”), which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and, in particular, include the risks that the REIT’s acquisition of four investment properties from its private capital pipeline may not occur on the timeline and for the purchase price as expected, may occur only in part if it is completed at all, and the properties’ financial performance could differ from the forecasted performance. These forward-looking statements have been approved by management to be made as of the date of this press release and, except as expressly required by applicable law, the REIT assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
This presentation does not constitute or form part of any offer for sale or solicitation of any offer to buy or subscribe for any securities nor shall it or any part of it form the basis of or be relied on in connection with, or act as any inducement to enter into, any contract or commitment whatsoever. The information contained in this presentation concerning the REIT and its affiliates does not purport to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a prospective purchaser or investor may desire to have in evaluating whether or not to make an investment in the REIT. The information is qualified entirely by reference to the REIT’s MD&A and the AIF.
Certain terms includes in this presentation such as debt-to-gross book value (“GBV”), funds from operations (“FFO”), adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”), net operating income (“NOI”), book value per Unit,same property net operating income (“Same property NOI”), capitalization rate, cash re-leasing spread, and straight-line rent re-leasing spread are used by management to measure, compare and explain the operatingresults and financial performance of the REIT and are not recognized terms under IFRS, and therefore should not be construed as alternatives to net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) or cash flow fromoperating activities calculated in accordance with IFRS. Management believes these terms are relevant measures in comparing the REIT’s performance to industry data, the REIT’s ability to earn and distribute cashreturns to holders of the REIT’s trust units, and the REIT’s ability to meet its ongoing obligations. These terms are defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable measure specified in the REIT’s MD&A. Suchterms do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure presented by other issuers.

Investment Activity
Pending Acquisition Overview
The acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to the REIT’s FFO and AFFO on a per unit basis
The acquisition significantly increases the size and scale of the REIT’s portfolio to approximately $2.3 billion, with a 39% increase in total GLA to approximately 32 million square feet, enhancing the REIT’s ability to leverage its fully internalized management platform
The acquisition portfolio consists of institutional quality assets with an average age of approximately 14 years, average clear height of 31 feet
Approximately 60% of base rent is derived from investment grade tenants, with limited overlap to the REIT’s existing tenant roster. The portfolio has a weighted average lease term of 4.6 years
Expands WPT’s presence and operating platform in the high-barrier coastal markets of New Jersey, California and Florida and strengthens the REIT’s presence in other key U.S. distribution markets
Portfolio NOI can be increased over time through vacancy lease up, future development of land parcels and building expansion potential at existing sites
Increased size and scale from the acquisition enhances the REIT’s ability to reassess portfolio composition and recycle capital over the near term

E-Commerce Growth Potential
26
• For the entire region, eCommerce spending will continue to increase at multiple times the rate of overall spending: Statista’s Digital Market Outlook calls for nearly 30% growth in North American online sales from 2019 to 2021. There is no doubt that increasing space needs associated with online sales (including those that are “Business-to-Business” (B2B)) will continue to put pressure occupancy and rent growth levels across North America.
• E-commerce and logistics companies accounted for 52% of the 100 largest warehouse leases by square footage in 2019, totaling more than 45 million sq. ft. and ranging in size from 598,000 to 2.5 million sq. ft. While major players dominated most of the deals by e-commerce companies in 2019, growth also came from traditional retailers that implemented omnichannel strategies to satisfy the rise in U.S. online sales.
• Fourth quarter 2019 e-commerce sales increased ~16.4% from the same period in 2018 compared to a total retail sales increase of 4.0%.
