Canada NewsWire

MONTRÉAL, Aug. 8, 2022 /CNW/ - BTB Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX: BTB.UN) ("BTB" or the "REIT") releases today its financial results for the second quarter of the year 2022 and announces the following highlights and information.

The excellent performance for the second quarter of 2022 was driven by strong rental activity and recent accretive acquisitions. Furthermore, BTB's net operating income increased by 13% and its leasing efforts improved the occupancy rate of the properties by 1.6% compared to the same quarter of 2021.

BTB is presenting robust results for another quarter:

  • Leasing Activity: BTB experienced strong leasing activity during the quarter. At the end of Q2 2022, the occupancy rate was 93.8%.
  1.  
    1. Tenant Retention: Leases representing 79,126 square feet were renewed of which, 55,635 square feet were renewed before the end of their term and 23,491 square feet were renewed in anticipation of the end of their term scheduled for the years 2023 and thereafter. 
    2. New leases concluded: 43,121 square feet were leased to new tenants in the off-core office properties segment. Rental rates for this segment increased by 21,2% during Q2 2022.
  • Same-property NOI (1) (2): Increased by 8.2% for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 mainly attributable to a combination of important leasing efforts made during the previous quarters resulting in an increase in occupancy rate compared to the same quarter last year and an increase in the average lease renewal rates.

(2) As mentioned in the REIT's Q2 2021 MD&A (dated August 6, 2021), section Operating Results – Rental Revenue, BTB had retrospective additional recoveries of $2.3 million and indemnity of $0.3 million, for a cumulative $2.6 million. The same-portfolio analysis excluded these elements for the 2021 figures.

  • Acquisitions: During the quarter, BTB acquired three industrial properties for a total consideration of $40.5 million, thereby adding 165,342 square feet to its total leasable area:
  1.  
    1. On April 5th, 2022, BTB acquired an industrial property of 46,433 square feet of leasable area located at 1100 Algoma Road in Ottawa, Ontario, for a total consideration of $12.5 million, excluding transaction costs and adjustments.
    2. On June 15th, 2022, BTB acquired an industrial property of 67,162 square feet of leasable area located at 3190 F.-X. Tessier Street in Vaudreuil - Dorion, Québec, for a total consideration of $15.0 million, excluding transaction costs and adjustments.
    3. On June 27th, 2022, BTB acquired an industrial property of 51,747 square feet of leasable area located at 3905 Allard Avenue in Edmonton, Alberta, for a total consideration of $13.0 million, excluding transaction costs and adjustments.
  • Disposition: On June 16th, 2022, BTB disposed of a small property located at 2059 René-Patenaude Street in Magog (Eastern Townships), Québec, for total proceeds of $1.8 million, excluding transaction costs and adjustments.
  • Rental revenue: Stood at $29.0 million, which represents an increase of 11.3% compared to the same quarter of 2021.
  • Net Operating Income (NOI): Stood at $17.6 million for the quarter, which represents an increase of 13.0% compared to the same quarter of 2021.
  • Recurring FFO (1) (2): Was 11.4¢ per unit for the quarter (22.1¢ per unit for the 2022 cumulative six-month period) compared to 12.5¢ per unit for the same period in 2021 (21.7¢ per unit for the 2021 cumulative six-month period). The same quarter and the cumulative six-month period of 2021 recorded a onetime additional recovery of $2.6 million and an indemnity thereby increasing the revenues for that period last year. Excluding this onetime recovery in 2021, the recurring FFO per unit would have seen an increase of 23.6% for the cumulative six-month period compared to the same period in 2021.
  • Recurring AFFO (1) (2): Was 11.0¢ per unit for the quarter (20.8¢ per unit for the 2022 cumulative six-month period) compared to 11.8¢ per unit for the same period in 2021 (20.5¢ per unit for the 2021 cumulative six-month period). The same quarter and the cumulative six-month period of 2021 recorded a onetime additional recovery of $2.6 million and an indemnity collection thereby increasing the revenues for that period last year. Excluding this onetime recovery, the recurring AFFO per unit would have increased by 23.8% for the cumulative six-month period compared to the same period in 2021.
  • Recurring FFO payout ratio (1): Stood at 65.5% for the quarter and at 67.8% for the 2022 cumulative six-month period, compared to 59.9% for the same period in 2021 and 69.2% for the 2021 cumulative six-month period.
  • Recurring AFFO payout ratio (1):  Stood at 68.3% for the quarter and at 72.3% for the 2022 cumulative six-month period, compared to 63.7% for the same period in 2021 and 73.0% for the 2021 cumulative six-month period.
  • Net income and comprehensive income: Totalled $18.2 million for the quarter compared to $7.2 million for the same period in 2021, representing an increase of $11.0 million that is attributable to an adjustment of $9.6 million to the fair value of derivative financial instruments.
  • Collection rate: Was 98.0% of invoiced rent during the quarter and 98.5% on a cumulative basis for 2022, which shows the strong fundamentals of the industrial, off-downtown core office and the necessity-based retail operating segments. BTB's portfolio continued to show positive results through all asset classes and geographies
  • Debt metrics: BTB concluded the quarter with a total debt ratio (1) of 58.8%, recording an improvement of 1.7% compared to December 31, 2021.
  • Liquidity position: BTB held $3.0 million of cash at the end of the quarter and $26.7 million of availability under its credit facilities (1) (2). BTB has the option to increase the capacity under the credit facilities to $58.8 million.

APPENDIX 1: RECONCILIATION OF NON-IFRS MEASURES

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Certain terms used in this press release are listed and defined in the table hereafter, including any per unit information if applicable, are not measures recognized by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. Such measures may differ from similar computations as reported by similar entities and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures. Explanations on how these non-IFRS financial measures provide useful information to investors and additional purposes, if any, for which the Trust uses these non-IFRS financial measures, are also included in the table hereafter.

Securities regulations require that non-IFRS financial measures be clearly defined and that they not be assigned greater weight than IFRS measures. The referred non-IFRS financial measures, which are reconciled to the most similar IFRS measure in the table thereafter if applicable, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and these measures cannot be compared to similar measures used by other issuers.

NON-IFRS MEASURES


DEFINITION

 

SAME-PROPERTY NOI

 

Same-property NOI is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as net operating income ("NOI") for the properties that the Trust owned and operated for the entire duration of both the current year and the previous year. The most directly comparable IFRS measure to same-property NOI is Operating Income.

 

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (FFO)

& RECURRING FFO

FFO is a non-IFRS financial measure used by most Canadian real estate investment trusts based on a standardized definition established by REALPAC in its February 2019 White Paper ("White Paper"). FFO is defined as net income and comprehensive income less certain adjustments, on a proportionate basis, including (i) fair value adjustments on investment properties, class B LP units and derivative financial instruments; (ii) amortization of lease incentives; (iii) incremental leasing costs; and (iv) distribution on class B LP units. FFO is reconciled to net income and comprehensive income, which is the most directly comparable IFRS measure. FFO is also reconciled with the cash flows from operating activities, which is an IFRS measure.

 

Recurring FFO is also a non-IFRS financial measure that starts with FFO and removes the impact of non-recurring items such as transaction cost on acquisitions and dispositions of investment properties and early repayment fees.

 

The Trust believes FFO and recurring FFO are key measures of operating performance and allow the investors to compare its historical performance.

ADJUSTED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (AFFO)

& RECURRING AFFO


AFFO is a non-IFRS financial measure used by most Canadian real estate investment trusts based on a standardized definition established by REALPAC in its February 2019 White Paper ("White Paper"). AFFO is defined as FFO less: (i) straight-line rental revenue adjustment; (ii) accretion of effective interest; (iii) amortization of other property and equipment; (iv) unit-based compensation expenses; (v) provision for non-recoverable capital expenditures; and (vi) provision for unrecovered rental fees (related to regular leasing expenditures). AFFO is reconciled to net income and comprehensive income, which is the most directly comparable IFRS measure. AFFO is also reconciled with the cash flows from operating activities, which is an IFRS measure.

 

Recurring AFFO is also a non-IFRS financial measure that starts with AFFO and removes the impact of non-recurring items such as transaction costs on acquisitions and dispositions of investment properties and early repayment fees.

 

The Trust considers AFFO and recurring AFFO to be useful measures of recurring economic earnings and relevant in understanding its ability to service its debt, fund capital expenditures, and provide distributions to unitholders.

 

FFO & AFFO PAYOUT RATIOS

 

AND

 

RECURRING FFO & RECURRING AFFO PAYOUT RATIOS

 

FFO and AFFO payout ratios and recurring FFO and recurring AFFO payout ratios are non-IFRS financial measures. These payout ratios are calculated by dividing the actual distributions per unit by FFO, AFFO, and recurring FFO and recurring AFFO per unit in each period.

 

The Trust considers these metrics a useful way to evaluate its distribution paying capacity.

 

TOTAL DEBT RATIO

The total debt ratio is a non-IFRS financial measure of the Trust's financial leverage, which is calculated by taking the total long-term debt less cash divided by the total gross value of the assets of the Trust less cash.

 

The Trust considers this metric useful as it indicates its ability to meet its debt obligations and its capacity for future additional acquisitions.

PROVISION FOR

NON-RECOVERABLE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

In calculating AFFO, the Trust deducts a provision for non-recoverable capital expenditures to consider capital expenditures invested to maintain the condition of its properties and to preserve rental revenue.

 

The provision for non-recoverable capital expenditures is calculated based on 2% of rental revenues. This provision is based on management's assessment of industry practices and its investment forecasts for the coming years.

PROVISION FOR UNRECOVERED RENTAL FEES

The Trust also deducts a provision for unrecovered rental fees in the amount of approximately 25¢ per sq. ft. on an annualized basis. Even though quarterly rental fee disbursements vary significantly from one quarter to another, management considers that this provision fairly presents, in the long term, the average disbursements not recovered directly in establishing the rent that the Trust will undertake. These disbursements consist of inducements paid or granted when leases are signed that are generally amortized over the term of the lease and are subject to an equivalent increase in rent per square foot, and of brokerage commissions and leasing payroll expenses.

TOTAL LONG-TERM DEBT LESS CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

This is a non-IFRS financial measure. Long-term debt less cash and cash equivalent is a non-IFRS financial measure, calculated as the total of (i) fixed-rate mortgage loans payable; (ii) floating rate mortgage loans payable; (iii) Series G debenture capital amount; (iv) Series F debenture capital adjusted with non-derivative component fewer conversion options exercised by holders; and (v) credit facilities, less cash, and cash equivalents. The most directly comparable IFRS measure to net debt is debt.

TOTAL GROSS VALUE OF THE ASSETS OF THE TRUST LESS CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENT

 

This is a non-IFRS financial measure. Gross value of the assets of the Trust less cash and cash equivalent ("GVALC") is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as the Trust's total assets adding the cumulated amortization property and equipment and removing the cash and cash equivalent. The most directly comparable IFRS measure to GVALC is total assets.
