PORTFOLIO GROWTH
During Q3 2022, the REIT acquired two industrial properties totalling 174,790 sq. ft. located in Mississauga, Ontario, for a purchase price of $59.3 million. The REIT also completed construction on one property under development totalling 91,782 sq. ft. in Guelph, Ontario and transferred it from investment properties under development to income-producing investment properties.
To date in 2022, the REIT acquired six income-producing properties totalling 698,820 sq. ft., and five development properties totalling approximately 75 acres with the potential to add approximately 1.4 million sq. ft. of GLA to the portfolio, including the 91,782 sq. ft. property in Guelph, Ontario, mentioned above, that has since been completed.
At September 30, 2022, the REIT’s portfolio totaled 162 properties aggregating 21.8 million sq. ft., with an additional 14 buildings under development aggregating 2.5 million sq. ft. of potential GLA, for a total net book value of approximately $5.1 billion. During the Q3 2022 and 2022 YTD, the REIT recognized fair value gains on its investment properties of $4.1 million and $259.2 million (0.1% and 5.1% of investment property fair value, respectively).
CONTINUED STRONG OPERATING PERFORMANCE
Revenue from investment properties for Q3 2022 and 2022 YTD rose 19.8% and 15.2% compared to the same prior year periods due primarily to acquisitions completed over the prior twelve months, continuing strong occupancy and higher overall rental rates on leasing activities. Occupancy remained strong at September 30, 2022 at 99.6% with an average lease term of 5.5 years and 2.4% annual contractual rent steps.
Net rental income for Q3 2022 and 2022 YTD increased 17.1% and 14.1% compared to the same prior year periods due primarily to continuing strong occupancy, higher overall rental rates on leasing activities and acquisitions completed over the prior twelve months.
Excluding the non-recurring secured mortgage prepayment costs of $16.1 million ($0.095 per Unit) and $20.0 million ($0.119 per Unit) incurred in Q3 2021 and 2021 YTD, respectively, FFO1 increased 16.8% and 17.7%, respectively. Excluding the mortgage prepayment costs discussed above, FFO per Unit1 for Q3 2022 and 2022 YTD increased 4.4% and 6.7%, respectively, compared to the same period year periods, despite a 12.0% and 10.3% increase in Units outstanding and further balance sheet deleveraging that took place in 2022 resulting in leverage1 of 26.5% at September 30, 2022. The REIT’s FFO payout ratio1 for Q3 2022 and 2022 YTD was 77.3% and 76.4%, respectively, excluding the benefit of the REIT’s DRIP (73.1% and 64.3%, respectively, including the benefit of the REIT’s DRIP).
Same property NOI1 rose 6.3% for Q3 2022 (5.5% for 2022 YTD), including a 8.8% increase in Ontario and 4.9% increase in Quebec (9.2% and 3.2% in Ontario and Quebec, respectively, for 2022 YTD). Growth in same property NOI1 in the third quarter of 2022 was driven primarily by rental rate growth from 2021 and 2022 year-to-date lease renewals and new lease deals, which generated an average of 53.8% and 29.5% increase over expiring rents in Ontario and Quebec, respectively, in 2021, and 87.7% and 42.3% increase over expiring rents in Ontario and Quebec, respectively, year-to-date in 2022, in addition to an increase in other income in Ontario. Growth in same property NOI1 for 2022 YTD was partially muted by lower bad debt recoveries ($0.3 million in 2022 YTD and $1.0 million in 2021 YTD). Same property NOI1 for Q3 2022 represented approximately 88.3% of total portfolio NOI1 and 89.4% of total GLA at September 30, 2022 (83.6% of total portfolio NOI and 84.4% of total GLA for 2022 YTD).
STRATEGIC LEASING PROGRAM
The REIT completed over 2.4 million sq. ft. of lease renewals and new lease deals 2022 YTD with a retention rate of 54.0%, generating an average increase in monthly rents of 56.0% over the expiring rent with a significant 89.9% increase over expiring rents in Ontario, 66.8% in Quebec and 6.6% in Alberta (excluding contractual renewals).
The REIT maintained near-full 99.6% occupancy in Q3 2022 with limited to no downtime, while also taking advantage of significantly higher market rents on turnover of the space, with some re-leasing at rental rates in excess of 100% of the expiring rent.
Furthermore, the REIT secured future lease commitments on 22,212 sq. ft. (or 24.2% of vacancy) as at September 30, 2022.
STRONG BALANCE SHEET AND LIQUIDITY
Total assets increased to $5.2 billion at September 30, 2022, up from $4.5 billion at December 31, 2021 due primarily to property acquisitions during the period and fair value gains on investment properties. Total debt was $1.4 billion at September 30, 2022 compared to $1.3 billion at December 31, 2021. At September 30, 2022, the REIT’s unsecured debt represented 67% of total debt outstanding with approximately $3.5 billion in unencumbered assets.
On April 19, 2022, the REIT amended its green unsecured development credit facility to increase the commitment by $100 million. Following the amendment, the total credit facility size is $200 million, including a $150 million green tranche and a $50 million conventional tranche On May 4, 2022, the REIT amended its unsecured revolving credit facility to increase the commitment by $100 million to $400 million and to extend the term by one year to March 23, 2025. At September 30, 2022, nothing was drawn on the REIT’s credit facilities.
During 2022 YTD, the REIT repaid $37.4 million of maturing secured term mortgages that carried a weighted average interest rate of 2.82%. To date in 2022, the REIT repaid $60.9 million in maturing secured term mortgages that carried a weighted average interest rate of 2.92%. Subsequent to quarter end, the REIT repaid an additional $25.3 million of secured term mortgages at maturity. The REIT also entered into $169.7 million of new 10-year secured term mortgage financing at an effective interest rate of 4.43%, a significant portion of which is interest-only.
The REIT’s debt metrics remained strong during the third quarter of 2022. At September 30, 2022, the REIT’s leverage ratio1 was 26.5% compared to 29.3% at September 30, 2021. Debt service coverage, interest coverage and debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratios1 were 3.5x, 4.3x and 7.8x, respectively, for Q3 2022 compared to 3.2x, 4.3x and 8.4x, respectively, for the same prior year period.
Debt-to-adjusted EBITDA was 7.8x and 8.0x for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, a decrease from 8.4x and 8.6x for the same prior year periods.
At September 30, 2022, the REIT’s liquidity position remained strong at approximately $1.4 billion of available liquidity1 including cash, available borrowing capacity on its credit facilities, and potential for new financing that could be placed on a portion of its $3.5 billion of unencumbered assets.
ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE THE REIT
On November 7, 2022, the REIT announced that it had entered into an Arrangement Agreement with GIC and Dream Industrial REIT, pursuant to which a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) between GIC and Dream Industrial REIT will acquire all of the assets and assume all of the liabilities of the REIT in an all-cash transaction (the “Transaction”).
The Transaction, expected to close in the first quarter of 2023, is subject to customary conditions, including REIT Unitholder, court and regulatory approvals, and is expected to occur via a plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act, pursuant to which the Joint Venture will acquire all of the assets and assume all of the liabilities of the REIT, and the REIT will pay a special distribution and redeem all of its units for $23.50 per unit in cash. The Arrangement Agreement contains customary terms and conditions, including deal protections. REIT Unitholders of record as of October 31, 2022 will receive the previously-declared monthly distribution for October that will be paid on November 15, 2022, following which the REIT has agreed to suspend its monthly distribution through closing.
As a result of the announcement of the Transaction, Summit will not host a conference call and webcast to discuss the financial results and operations for the third quarter.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
The REIT prepares and releases consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS (GAAP). In this release, the REIT discloses and discusses certain non-GAAP measures, including FFO, FFO per Unit, FFO payout ratio, NOI, same property NOI, leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio, debt service coverage ratio, debt-to-adjusted EBITDA and available liquidity. The non-GAAP measures are further defined and discussed in Appendix A | Non-GAAP Measures in the MD&A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com), which is incorporated by reference and should be read in conjunction with this release. Since these measures are not determined by IFRS, such measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other issuers. The REIT has presented such non-GAAP measures as management believes the measures are a relevant measure of the ability of the REIT to earn and distribute cash returns to Unitholders and to evaluate the REIT’s performance. These non-GAAP measures should not be construed as alternatives to net income or cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the REIT’s performance.
