PROREIT ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2022 RESULTS

MONTREAL, Nov. 9, 2022 /CNW/ - PRO Real Estate Investment Trust ("PROREIT" or the "REIT") (TSX:PRV.UN) today reported its financial and operating results for the three-month period (or "third quarter" or "Q3") ended September 30, 2022.  

Third Quarter 2022 Highlights

  • Property revenue up 23.0% in Q3 2022, compared to Q3 2021
  • Net operating income* up 22.4% in Q3 2022, compared to Q3 2021
  • Same Property NOI* up 3.6%, compared to Q3 2021
  • Net income and comprehensive income up $15.5 million in Q3 2022, compared to Q3 2021
  • Fair value gains on investment properties of $11.6 million in Q3 2022 and $52.7 million year-to-date
  • AFFO* increase of 21.0% in Q3 2022, compared to Q3 2021
  • AFFO Payout Ratio – Basic* of 85.7% in Q3 2022 and 82.8% in Q3 2021
  • Debt to Gross Book Value* of 49.8% at September 30, 2022, compared to 58.2% at same date last year
  • 85.5% of 2022 gross leasable area ("GLA") renewed at 14.9% average spreads and 21.0% of 2023 GLA renewed at average spread of 50.3%
  • Occupancy rate of 97.9% at September 30, 2022

"We achieved consistent operating results in the third quarter, while maintaining an improved  balance sheet, highlighting the strength of our business," said Jim Beckerleg, President and CEO, PROREIT.

"The increases in almost all our key metrics is evidence that our operating efficiency continues to improve. Notably, we continue to generate recurring organic growth with solid Same Property NOI* increases in our industrial segment, but also in our retail segment, which were up 7.2% and 3.3%, respectively, in Q3.

"We are maintaining a strategic focus on the defensive aspects of our portfolio as well as the mark to market opportunities in the industrial sector, which now accounts for 80% of our total GLA.  Despite the increasing interest rate environment in which we find ourselves, increasing rental rates as well as our maturing and new leases are offsetting some upward movement in capitalization and discount rates in our portfolio.  

"Through our capital allocation reviews, risk and cost management, we have successfully executed on the disposition of 10 non-core retail assets since the beginning of the year, which helped us achieve our target of reducing our Debt to Gross Book Value* below 50% in the quarter.

"We are particularly pleased with the results flowing from our joint venture with Crestpoint Real Estate Investments Ltd. and its affiliates in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Completed during the current quarter, this accretive transaction makes us one of the largest landlords in the local Halifax industrial market, which uniquely positions us to continue to capture rent growth in this strategic location, while providing us with the flexibility to grow further externally.

"We remain mindful of the heightened macro-economic uncertainty and market volatility. We have $32.5 million available under our credit facilities, lower leverage and are well-positioned and view this as a time opportunity to focus on operating results. We will have opportunities to perform and grow sustainably, underpinned by financial discipline, to the benefit of all our stakeholders," Mr. Beckerleg concluded.

* Measures followed by the suffix "*" in this press release are non-IFRS measures. See "Non-IFRS Measures".

PROREIT owned 132 investment properties at September 30, 2022, including a 50% ownership interest in 42 investment properties, compared to 104 properties owned at 100% at the same time last year. Total assets amounted to $1.04 billion at September 30, 2022, compared to $769.1 million as at September 30, 2021, an increase of $271.3 million, or 35.3%. During the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2022, PROREIT acquired a 100% interest in 16 investment properties, acquired a 50% interest in 21 investment properties, sold a 50% interest in 21 investment properties and sold a 100% interest in nine non-strategic retail properties.

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2022: 

  • Property revenue amounted to $24.1 million, an increase of $4.5 million, or 23.0%, compared to $19.6 million for the same prior year period, mainly driven by incremental revenues from net acquisition activity over the last twelve-month period.
  • Same Property NOI* reached $11.1 million, an increase of $0.4 million, or 3.6%, compared to the same prior year period. The increase was a result of increased occupancy in the industrial and retail asset classes, contractual rent increases and high rental rates on lease renewals in the industrial segment, partially offset by the decrease in office occupancy in the sector in two of our eight office segment properties. As of November 1, 2022, subsequent to quarter-end, a new six-year term lease will provide an additional $90 thousand of gross quarterly rent once occupied.
  • Net operating income* amounted to $14.8 million, compared to $12.1 million in the same period in 2021, an increase of $2.7 million, or 22.4%, mainly driven by the impact of the net property acquisition activity over the last twelve-month period.
  • AFFO* totaled $7.9 million, an increase of $1.4 million, or 21.0%, compared to $6.6 million for the same prior year period, mainly driven by the impact of the net acquisition activity over the last twelve-month period.
  • AFFO Payout Ratio – Basic* stood at 85.7% compared to 82.8% for the same prior year period. This year-over-year change is mainly due to maintenance capital expenditures, leasing costs, and general and administrative expenses resulting from the REIT's growth, partially offset by the impact of the net acquisition activity over the last twelve-month period.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022:

  • Property revenue was $72.1 million, an increase of $17.4 million, or 31.8%, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to incremental revenues from the net property acquisitions completed in the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2022.
  • Same Property NOI* was $26.3 million, an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.6%, compared to the same period last year. The increase was a result of increased occupancy in the retail asset class, contractual rent increases and high rental rates on lease renewals in the industrial segment, partially offset by the decrease in office occupancy in the office sector.
  • Net operating income* was $43.2 million, an increase of $10.2 million, or 31.1%, compared to the same period last year. This increase results primarily from the favorable impact of the net property acquisitions in the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2022.
  • AFFO* totaled $23.6 million, an increase of $5.9 million, or 33.2%, mainly driven by the impact of the net acquisition activity over the last twelve-month period.
  • AFFO Payout Ratio – Basic* stood at 86.4%, compared to 86.0% for the same period last year. This change is mainly due to maintenance capital expenditures, leasing costs, and general and administrative expenses resulting from the REIT's growth, partially offset by the impact of the net acquisition activity over the last twelve-month period.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, net income and comprehensive income amounted to $19.5 million, compared to $4.1 million during the same prior year period. The $15.5 million increase mainly relates to the $14.1 million favorable impact in the non-cash fair market value adjustment on investment properties, combined with the $2.7 million favourable impact in net operating income, partially offset by the $1.4 million increase in interest and financing costs for the third quarter of 2022, compared to the same prior year period. PROREIT updated independent external appraisals for 23 properties during the third quarter of 2022, contributing to the fair market value gain of $11.6 million

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net income and comprehensive income amounted to $78.0 million, compared to $16.8 million during the same prior year period. The $61.2 million increase mainly relates to the $57.2 million favourable impact in the non-cash fair value adjustment on investment properties, combined with the $10.2 million increase in net operating income, partially offset by the $3.0 million increase in interest and financing costs, compared to the same prior year period. During the first nine months of 2022, PROREIT updated independent external appraisals for 37 properties, contributing to the fair market value gain of $52.7 million.  

Solid Balance Sheet

PROREIT remains committed to steadily improving its balance sheet, including its Debt to Gross Book Value* ratio, and its cash position and sources of funds available. PROREIT continues to maintain diversified debt maturities appropriate for the overall debt level of its portfolio.

Debt to Gross Book Value* was 49.8% at September 30, 2022, down from 58.2% at the same date last year. Weighted average interest rate on mortgage debt was 3.7% at September 30, 2022, compared to 3.5% at the same date last year.

At September 30, 2022, PROREIT had $32.5 million available on its credit facility.

Portfolio Transactions

On August 5, 2022, PROREIT announced the closing of its accretive transaction with Crestpoint to jointly own an industrial-focused portfolio of 42 properties located in Atlantic Canada. Under the transaction, PROREIT and Crestpoint each acquired a 50% interest in 21 primarily industrial properties owned by a third party, for a total purchase price of $228.0 million (before closing costs). In conjunction with the acquisition, PROREIT sold a 50% interest in 21 of its owned properties to Crestpoint, having a total value of $227 million, for a total consideration to PROREIT of $113.5 million (before closing costs). As sole property manager for the entire portfolio, PROREIT collects industry standard fees.

PROREIT's acquisition of the 50% interest in the 21 properties amounted to a cost to PROREIT of approximately $114.0 million (excluding closing costs), financed from the proceeds of a 50% interest in approximately $148.0 million in new fixed-rate mortgages. The $40 million balance was satisfied with cash on hand, including cash from the proceeds of the sale of a 50% interest in existing properties to Crestpoint.

PROREIT's sale of a 50% interest in 21 of its currently owned properties resulted in a consideration of approximately $49.0 million in cash received from Crestpoint (before closing costs), with Crestpoint also assuming a 50% interest in approximately $129.0 million of fixed-rate mortgages held by PROREIT.  The balance of the proceeds to PROREIT resulting from the sale, net of the acquisition payment, was used to partially repay PROREIT's credit facility.

On September 27, 2022, PROREIT announced that it had completed the sale of a portfolio of nine non-core retail properties for gross proceeds of $18.8 million (excluding closing costs), totaling approximately 94,000 square feet of GLA located in Western Canada. Proceeds of the sale were used to repay approximately $14.1 million in related mortgages maturing in January 2023, with the balance used to partially repay a term loan.

On November 3, 2022, subsequent to quarter-end, PROREIT completed the sale of a non-strategic retail property in Alberta, totaling approximately 11,000 square feet of GLA, for gross proceeds of $5.4 million (before closing costs). Proceeds of the sale were used to pay out a term loan of approximately $3.4 million, with the balance being used for general trust purposes.

Operating Performance

At September 30, 2022, PROREIT's portfolio totaled 132 investment properties, including a 50% ownership interest in 42 investment properties, aggregating 6.5 million square feet of GLA with a weighted average lease term of 4.2 years. The occupancy rate of the portfolio remains strong at 97.9% as at September 30, 2022.

PROREIT continues to benefit from a solid operating environment, with approximately 85.5% of leases maturing in 2022 renewed at a positive average spread of 14.9%, and approximately 21.0% of leases maturing in 2023 renewed at a positive average spread of 50.3%.

CEO Succession

On October 4, 2022, PROREIT announced that Gordon G. Lawlor will succeed James W. Beckerleg as President and Chief Executive Officer of the REIT and will join the REIT's Board of Trustees, effective April 1, 2023, at which time Mr. Beckerleg will be named Vice Chair of the Board and Co-Founder, as part of the REIT's CEO succession plan. Mr. Beckerleg has been President and Chief Executive Officer and a Trustee of PROREIT since 2013. The REIT also announced that Alison Schafer will be appointed Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the REIT concurrently with these changes.

Distributions

Distributions to unitholders of $0.0375 per trust unit of the REIT were declared monthly during the three months ended September 30, 2022, representing distributions of $0.45 per unit on an annual basis. Equivalent distributions are paid on the Class B limited partnership units of PRO REIT Limited Partnership ("Class B LP Units"), a subsidiary of the REIT.

Founded in 2013, PROREIT owns a portfolio of high-quality commercial real estate properties in Canada, with a strong industrial focus in robust secondary markets.

Non-IFRS Measures

PROREIT's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. In addition to reported IFRS measures, industry practice is to evaluate real estate entities giving consideration, in part, to certain non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS ratios and other specified financial measures (collectively, "non-IFRS measures"). Without limitation, measures followed by the suffix "*" in this press release are non-IFRS measures.

As a complement to results provided in accordance with IFRS, PROREIT discloses and discusses in this press release (i) certain non-IFRS financial measures, including: adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"); annualized adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("Annualized Adjusted EBITDA"); adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO"); funds from operations ("FFO"); gross book value ("Gross Book Value"); net operating income ("NOI"); Same Property NOI; and (ii) certain non-IFRS ratios, including: AFFO Payout Ratio – Basic; AFFO Payout Ratio – Diluted; Basic AFFO per Unit; Diluted AFFO per Unit; Basic FFO per Unit; Diluted FFO per Unit; Debt to Gross Book Value; Debt Service Coverage Ratio; Interest Coverage Ratio; Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBTIDA Ratio. These non-IFRS measures are not defined by IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS. PROREIT's method of calculating these non-IFRS measures may differ from other issuers and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other income trusts. PROREIT has presented such non-IFRS measures and ratios as management believes they are relevant measures of PROREIT's underlying operating and financial performance. For information on the most directly comparable IFRS measures, composition of the non-IFRS measures, a description of how PROREIT uses these measures and an explanation of how these measures provide useful information to investors, refer to the "Non-IFRS Measures" section of PROREIT's management's discussion and analysis for the three months ended September 30, 2022, dated November 9, 2022 (the "Q3 MD&A"), available on PROREIT's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com, which is incorporated by reference into this press release. As applicable, the reconciliations for each non-IFRS measure are outlined below. Non-IFRS measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income, cash flows provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents, total assets, total equity, or comparable metrics determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of PROREIT's performance, liquidity, cash flow, and profitability.
