TORONTO, July 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Allied Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (“Allied”) (TSX: “AP.UN”) today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2023. With all mutual conditions satisfied, including receipt of Competition Act approval, Allied also today announced the scheduled closing date for the sale of its UDC portfolio in Downtown Toronto (the “Portfolio”) to KDDI Canada, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of KDDI Corporation, for $1.35 billion.
Sale of UDC Portfolio
The closing is scheduled for on or about August 16, 2023. Allied will use approximately $740 million of the proceeds from the sale of the Portfolio to repay all amounts drawn on its unsecured credit facility (the “Facility”), with the result that it will have (i) no variable-rate debt other than three joint-venture construction loans and (ii) up to $900 million of available liquidity through the Facility. Allied will set aside $200 million of the proceeds to repay a secured promissory note payable on December 31, 2023, and another $49 million to repay its remaining first mortgages on fully owned properties next year. Allied will use the balance of the proceeds to fund its development and upgrade activity over the remainder of 2023 and into 2024.

In the second quarter, higher interest expense and extended lease-up timeframes put temporary downward pressure on Allied’s FFO per unit, which was 58.8 cents, modestly below expectation. AFFO per unit of 53.6 cents was modestly above expectation. Interest expense is expected to decline materially in the second half of the year due to the repayment of debt with proceeds from the sale of the Portfolio, and leasing is expected to continue on favourable terms.
Allied recorded a fair value gain on investment properties and investment properties held for sale of $30 million in the second quarter. The fair value gain on the Portfolio in the second quarter was offset partially by fair value adjustments to specific properties in the rental portfolio and higher costs in the development portfolio.

(1) This measure is presented on an IFRS basis.
(2) This is a non-GAAP measure, and includes the results of the continuing operations and the discontinued operations. Refer to the Non-GAAP Measures section below.
(3) Prior to Allied’s conversion to an open-end trust, net asset value per unit (“NAV per unit”) was calculated as total equity as at the corresponding period ended, divided by the actual number of Units and class B limited partnership units of Allied Properties Exchangeable Limited Partnership (“Exchangeable LP Units”) outstanding at period end. With Allied’s conversion to an open-end trust on June 12, 2023, NAV per unit is calculated as total equity plus the value of Exchangeable LP Units as at the corresponding period ended, divided by the actual number of Units and Exchangeable LP Units. The rationale for including the value of Exchangeable LP Units is because they are economically equivalent to Units, receive distributions equal to the distributions paid on the Units and are exchangeable, at the holder’s option, for Units.
Operations
Knowledge-based organizations, including educational institutions, continue to prefer distinctive urban workspace in amenity-rich urban neighbourhoods in Canada’s major cities. As a result, demand for Allied’s workspace across the country continues to be evident in the behaviour of existing and prospective users of space. Allied conducted 292 lease tours in its rental portfolio in the second quarter, up from 258 in the comparable quarter last year and considerably higher than 243 in the prior quarter. Allied’s occupied and leased area at the end of the quarter was 87.4% and 87.6%, respectively, down slightly from the prior quarter.
Allied leased a total of 698,830 square feet in the quarter. 124,685 square feet was vacant space in its rental portfolio, which was more than offset by 224,509 square feet of non-renewal, primarily in Calgary, which accounts for the slight decline in occupied and leased area. Allied also leased 180,363 square feet of space maturing in the quarter and an additional 239,280 square feet of space maturing after June 30, 2023. Finally, Allied leased 154,502 square feet in its development portfolio.
Average in-place net rent per occupied square foot continued to rise in the quarter, reaching $23.51 at quarter-end. Allied continued to achieve rent increases on renewal (up 7.6% ending-to-starting base rent and up 13.7% average-to-average base rent).
The leasing metrics at June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2022, are set out in the table below:

Leasing highlights in Allied’s rental portfolio include the following:
- renewal of 72,000 square feet of office space with Technicolor at 645 Wellington in Montréal;
- renewal of 50,000 square feet of office space with Cossette Advertising at 32 Atlantic in Toronto;
- lease of 34,000 square feet of office space to Collabtiv Management at 747 Square Victoria in Montréal;
- lease of 28,000 square feet of office space to Pole To Win Canada at 111 Boulevard Robert-Bourassa Montréal;
- lease of 25,000 square feet of retail space to Compass Group Canada, a global food services organization, at 747 Square Victoria in Montréal; and
- lease of 29 rental residential units in TELUS Sky in Calgary, bringing the residential component of the property to 97.5% leased.
Leasing highlights in Allied’s development portfolio include the following:
- lease of 54,000 square feet of office space to a global electronics and entertainment organization at Tour Viger in Montréal;
- lease of 33,000 square feet of office space to a technology organization at 1001 Boulevard Robert-Bourassa in Montréal;

- lease of 9,000 square feet of office space to Kativik School Board at RCA Building in Montréal.
Outlook
Allied’s internal forecast for 2023 now calls for flat to low-single-digit percentage growth in each of same asset NOI, FFO per unit and AFFO per unit. Allied does not forecast NAV per unit growth in any given time period.
Allied has assembled the largest and most concentrated portfolio of economically-productive, underutilized urban land in Canada, one that affords extraordinary mixed-use intensification potential in major cities going forward. Allied believes deeply in the continued success of Canadian cities and has the platform and the breadth of funding relationships necessary to drive value in the coming years and decades for the benefit of its constituents.
Non-GAAP Measures
Management uses financial measures based on International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS” or “GAAP”) and non-GAAP measures to assess Allied’s performance. Non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore, should not be construed as alternatives to net income or cash flow from operating activities calculated in accordance with IFRS. Refer to the Non-GAAP Measures section on page 17 of the MD&A as at June 30, 2023, available on www.sedarplus.ca, for an explanation of the composition of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release and their usefulness for readers in assessing Allied’s performance. Such explanation is incorporated by reference herein.

The following tables reconcile the non-GAAP measures to the most comparable IFRS measures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and the comparable period in 2022. These terms do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded entities.
