MONTREAL, May 10, 2023 /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 ("first quarter" or "Q1") ended March 31, 2023.
First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 Highlights
"We are pleased to have started 2023 on solid footing, delivering consistent results from both an operational and financial standpoint," said Gordon Lawlor, President and Chief Executive Officer of PROREIT.
"These results continue to reflect the quality of our portfolio and our sound strategic positioning in the industrial sector, which accounts for 69.5% of base rent. With a strong occupancy rate of 98.6%, our ability to generate consistent organic growth is also evidenced by our Same Property NOI* growth of 4.9% in the first quarter of 2023 and the successful renewals of 68.5% of GLA maturing in 2023 at an average positive lease rate spread of 40.9%.
"We remain focused on strengthening both our portfolio and balance sheet. After quarter-end, we disposed of one non-core office property and will continue to recycle assets to maximize long-term value as we look to capitalize on potential acquisition opportunities in the industrial sector. We are also pleased to report that our Debt to Gross Book Value* is down to 49.2% and that we continue to benefit from our well-staggered debt profile with limited material maturities until 2026.
"On the ESG front, I am delighted to report that we just released our 2022 ESG report. We made significant strides during the year, establishing clear priorities with measurable goals and introducing new initiatives to increase our impact in all three areas. As we move forward on this journey, we endeavour to make further progress with the information we track and share with our stakeholders.
"As I take the helm of PROREIT, reinforced by a cohesive management team with a proven track record, I am excited by the opportunities that lay ahead as we pursue our ambition to reach $2 billion in assets in the medium term, while remaining mindful that current macro-economic factors, including the high-interest rate environment, present certain challenges.
"On a final note, it has been an honour working along-side Jim Beckerleg to build this REIT into what it is today. I am grateful for his mentorship and am keen to continue to benefit from his real estate and capital markets expertise as he provides ongoing oversight as a member of the Board," concluded Mr. Lawlor.
* Measures followed by the suffix "*" in this release are non-IFRS measures. See "Non-IFRS Measures". |

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net income and comprehensive income amounted to $13.0 million, compared to $46.5 million during the same prior year period. The $33.5 million variance mainly relates to the $32.7 million impact of the non-cash fair market value adjustment on investment properties, one-time CEO retirement costs of about $2.2 million, included in general and administrative expenses, and approximately $1.0 million of additional long-term incentive plan expense related to the accelerated vesting of certain LTIP units in connection with the CEO retirement in Q1 2023.

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 EBITDA 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 March 31, 2023, dated May 10, 2023, 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.
