Majesty and Friends Crowned 2022’s Canada’s Best Restroom

August 18, 2022 By Business Wire

Edmonton retailer wins $2,500 in facility products and services from Cintas

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today Cintas Canada, Ltd. crowned Majesty and Friends in Edmonton, Alberta, the winner of the 2022 Canada’s Best Restroom contest! Majesty and Friends will receive $2,500 in Cintas products and services to help maintain their award-winning washrooms. The washrooms will also be honoured with a place in the Canada’s Best Restroom® Hall of Fame.

Now in its 13th year, Cintas’ nationwide contest highlights businesses that have invested in developing and maintaining exceptional washrooms that are accessible to the public.

“We’re so honoured to win the coveted title of Canada’s Best Restroom,” said Julie Morrison, owner, Majesty and Friends. “When we opened this location last year, I put all my savings into it to make our shop a truly memorable and fun destination for our community. I’m so grateful to Cintas for highlighting our business, and to the Edmonton community and our customers for their overwhelming support.”

Majesty and Friends is a modern design boutique. Their motto is “FUN, FUN, FUN,” so their washroom needed to offer the happiest vibes. The bright mural was inspired by the happiest treat on earth – ice cream. The flooring is Atra Flooring from Liverpool, and the sprinkles are made by Urban Walls. Their building at Manchester square is the biggest Instagrammable spot in Edmonton. Pink toilet paper and a cherry brush? Yes, please! With sprinkles!

“The state of the washroom can have an enduring effect on a guest’s perception of a business,” said Candice Raynsford, Marketing Manager, Cintas Canada. “Providing a facility that is clean and inviting takes the customer experience to the next level. Guests recognize this, and in Majesty and Friends’ case, customers have shown their appreciation by voting them this year’s Canada’s Best Restroom.”

Majesty and Friends promoted the contest on their Instagram page. They uploaded a reminder to their stories every second day and changed the website link in their profile to link to the Best Restroom voting page. They also promoted the contest on Twitter and Facebook. Finally, they created a QR code with a link to the Best Restroom website and posted it in the restroom, on the door and at the front counter. They also posted the QR code at other local businesses.

Nominees for this year’s contest were judged on five criteria: cleanliness, visual appeal, innovation, functionality and unique design elements. Online voting was open to the public June 6 through July 8. The other finalists (in alphabetical order) include:

  • Niton Junction Petro-Canada (Niton Junction, Alberta)

QuoteToMe Launches Procore Integration

August 18, 2022 By Business Wire

Partner Product Integration Will Provide a Procure-to-Pay Automated Solution for Construction Companies Using Procore

EDMONTON, Alberta–(BUSINESS WIRE)–QuoteToMe, a leading provider of procure-to-pay automation software, today announced a new partnership with Procore (NYSE:PCOR), a leading global provider of construction management software. QuoteToMe’s integration with Procore will help increase efficiency for contractor businesses looking to improve their procurement processes.

Construction is a $10T/year global industry, over $1T is spent on materials and equipment in the US and Canada alone. Due to an inefficient incumbent procure-pay workflow, the result is billions of dollars of waste on project overspend and re-work. The construction industry standard for procure-pay workflows includes manual non-centralized communication (phone, text, email) between project teams and suppliers, many paper-based processes, and little to no visibility between contractor departments (field, office and accounting).

Using QuoteToMe’s end-to-end platform consistently saves contractor field and office teams 75% of the time spent to source goods and process purchase orders (POs) and creates up to 15% cost savings on materials and equipment.

The integration between QuoteToMe and Procore helps effectively eliminate data entry and frees time for project managers and site supervisors. Using the QuoteToMe app, field and office users will have the ability to create purchase orders from their mobile devices or desktop computers that can automatically sync with Procore’s Project Financials product.

“Today, we welcome QuoteToMe to a global ecosystem of over 300 Procore App Marketplace Partners,” said Jas Saraw, VP Canada, Procore. “The seamless integration of QuoteToMe with our platform can save our customers time and money, allowing them to protect their profit margins and reduce the administrative burden of procurement.”

“Creating a seamless product experience for Procore users unlocks value for all. Our go-to-market and product strategy places a strong emphasis on integrating with leading software companies, like Procore,” said John Chabluk, QuoteToMe’s founder and CEO

QuoteToMe’s product is a fit for self-performing general and sub-contractors across all four customer segments: Emerging, Mid-Market, Major and Enterprise. Contractors’ clients annual revenue volumes ranging from $15M/year to $1B+.

The benefits of this new integration include:

  • Request quotes from your preferred material and equipment suppliers, manage purchasing approvals, and enforce purchasing limits.
  • Send completed purchase orders, invoices, and related documents directly to Procore.
  • Create POs commitments directly from QuoteToMe’s mobile app to capture receipt-of-goods documents on-site or in the store.
  • Rapid onboarding of new contractor customers.
  • QuoteToMe syncs and makes Procore project, supplier, and cost code data available to users on-site or in the office through our web and mobile app.

About QuoteToMe

QuoteToMe is a technology company creating innovation for one of the biggest industries on the planet. We have re-imagined how materials, equipment, and services are sourced and paid for on construction projects by helping contractors buy better. Our mission is simple: We are digitizing the construction procure-to-pay workflow by creating a network that connects transaction stakeholders.

QuoteToMe is a privately owned company, with industry leading equity partners including: Builders VC, Blackhorn Ventures, Argonautic Ventures, Azure Capital Partners and the Stanford University Farmers Angel Investment Club. Learn more at quotetome.com

Dream Office REIT Renews Normal Course Issuer Bid and Announces Automatic Securities Purchase Plan

August 18, 2022 By Business Wire

This press release contains forward-looking information that is based upon assumptions and is subject to risks and uncertainties as indicated in the cautionary note contained within this press release

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–DREAM OFFICE REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (D.UN-TSX) or (“Dream Office REIT”, the “Trust” or “we”) announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) accepted a notice filed by Dream Office REIT to renew its prior normal course issuer bid for a one year period. Under the bid, Dream Office REIT will have the ability to purchase for cancellation up to a maximum of 3,292,287 of its REIT Units, Series A (the “REIT A Units”) (representing 10% of Dream Office REIT’s public float of 32,922,872 REIT A Units) through the facilities of the TSX. The bid will commence on August 19, 2022 and will remain in effect until the earlier of August 18, 2023 or the date on which Dream Office REIT has purchased the maximum number of REIT A Units permitted under the bid. Daily repurchases will be limited to 34,512 REIT A Units, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of the REIT A Units on the TSX during the last six calendar months (being 138,048 REIT A Units per day), other than purchases pursuant to applicable block purchase exceptions. As of August 5, 2022, the number of issued and outstanding REIT A Units is 47,035,382.

In connection with the renewal of its normal course issuer bid, Dream Office REIT has established an automatic securities purchase plan (the “Plan”) with its designated broker to facilitate the purchase of REIT A Units under the normal course issuer bid at times when Dream Office REIT would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase its REIT A Units due to regulatory restrictions or self-imposed blackout periods. Purchases will be made by Dream Office REIT’s broker based upon the parameters prescribed by the TSX and the terms of the parties’ written agreement. Outside of such restricted or blackout periods, the REIT A Units may also be purchased in accordance with Management’s discretion. The Plan has been pre-cleared by the TSX and will terminate on August 18, 2023.

Dream Office REIT has renewed its normal course issuer bid because it believes that REIT A Units may become available during the period of the bid at prices that would make the purchase of such REIT A Units for cancellation in the best interests of Dream Office REIT and its unitholders.

Dream Office REIT’s prior normal course issuer bid for the purchase of up to 3,676,723 REIT A Units expired on March 11, 2022, the date that the Trust acquired the maximum number of REIT A Units permitted under the bid. Under this bid, Dream Office REIT purchased for cancellation 3,676,723 REIT A Units through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange at an average price of $23.79 for a total cost of approximately $87.5 million.

Dream Office REIT is an unincorporated, open-ended real estate investment trust. Dream Office REIT is a premier office landlord in downtown Toronto with over 3.5 million square feet owned and managed. We have carefully curated an investment portfolio of high-quality assets in irreplaceable locations in one of the finest office markets in the world. For more information, please visit our website at www.dreamofficereit.ca.

This press release may contain forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, including with respect to future purchases of REIT A Units by the Trust. Forward-looking information is based on a number of assumptions and is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Trust’s control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those that are disclosed in or implied by such forward-looking information.

Our objectives and forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions, including that the general economy remains stable, interest rates remain stable, conditions within the real estate market remain consistent, competition for acquisitions remains consistent with the current climate and that the capital markets continue to provide ready access to equity and/or debt. All forward-looking information in this press release speaks as of August 17, 2022.

“As we take the first steps to full brand integration, we build on our shared legacy across Umow Lai and our partners throughout the U.K. and U.S.,” says Integral Group President Bill Overturf. “The rebranding represents our reaffirmed dedication to providing our customers with deep technical expertise, cutting-edge innovations, and worldwide resources. Many of us have already worked together on projects, and I’m excited to see this next, natural stage of our growth. Together, we can continue to improve the quality of life for our communities while promoting unity across our company by simplifying processes and procedures for employees to collaborate throughout all our offices.”

Introba will provide a full range of design services, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection engineering; technology systems; security consulting; medical equipment planning; aviation baggage handling; and sustainability consulting across key sectors, including commercial, healthcare, government, education, aviation, culture, and science and technology.

Mattamy Homes Selects Procore as its Construction Management Platform to Support Aggressive Growth

August 17, 2022 By Business Wire

Procore will provide one of Canada’s largest home builders’ GTA Urban Division with a single source of truth for project information, which can scale as the company grows

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Procore Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: PCOR), a leading global provider of construction management software, today announced that the GTA Urban Division of Mattamy Homes Canada has chosen Procore as its construction management platform.


After an extensive search and evaluation, Mattamy selected Procore as its construction management software, including the Project Management, Financial Management and Tender Management products. In the future, it plans to incorporate BIM as it continues to digitize its processes.

The platform will provide the GTA Urban Division with a single source of truth for project information, including drawings, photos, specifications, RFIs and financials. The division plans for aggressive growth in the coming years, and needed a platform that could scale with its digital transformation ambitions.

Procore will initially be used on the sold-out Martha James project, which is steps from the waterfront in downtown Burlington, Ontario. All stakeholders will enjoy a unified experience with Procore’s unlimited user licensing model. All staff, consultants and contractors will be able to work together on the platform. This will be key as the GTA Urban Division pursues growth and Mattamy rolls out more projects managed with Procore.

Mattamy Homes is the largest privately owned homebuilder in North America. The vertically integrated developer performs its own construction, and plans to grow its midrise and highrise residential property offering with speed and scale, and will be building as many multi-family units per year as single-family homes in the next five years. It was recognized with Canada’s Best Managed Companies designation for 2022, 2021 and 2020.

“Of all the solutions we considered, Procore was the best fit for our team and how we work,” said David Stewart, Division President, GTA Urban, at Mattamy Homes. “Having all project information accessible on one platform will help us get the right information to the right stakeholders without delays or friction. It’s most important to us to use a platform that scales, in our case from the Martha James development to many future residential projects. Procore will deliver insights that will help drive our decision making.”

“We’re proud to begin our relationship with Mattamy Homes, GTA Urban Division,” said Jas Saraw, vice president, Canada at Procore. “The company’s vertical integration allows it to execute high-quality projects with control over every aspect of construction. We look forward to helping Mattamy Homes gain real-time insights into its projects, share information among stakeholders seamlessly and scale as the division grows.”

Inovalis Real Estate Investment Trust Announces Financial Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2022, Adjusts Yearly Distribution to $0.4125, Suspends the Distribution Reinvestment Plan

August 16, 2022 By Business Wire

And Refiles the 2021 Audited Annual Financial Statements, 2021 MD&A, 2021 Annual Information Form and Q1 2022 Unaudited Financial Statements and MD&A.


TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Inovalis Real Estate Investment Trust (the “REIT”) (TSX: INO.UN) today reported strong financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for Q2 2022 are available on the REIT’s website at www.inovalisreit.com and at www.sedar.com1. All amounts are presented in thousands of Canadian dollars or Euros, except rental rates, square footage, per unit amounts or as otherwise stated.

“Inovalis REIT’s Q2 2022 financial results were in line with our internal forecast. In Q2 2022, the REIT reported FFO and AFFO of CAD$0.14 per Unit, versus CAD$0.13 for the same period last year”, said Stéphane Amine, President of the REIT. He further commented “As we face persistent stock market volatility and believe in our core + strategy to drive FFO results and NAV growth, we are reducing the rate of distributions to an annual $0.4125 and suspending the distribution reinvestment plan, while we allow for lease terminations to continue as part of our asset recycling strategy .” Mr. Amine also explained that “the REIT is reclassifying $24m of senior debt as short term in the Q4 2021 and the Q1 2022 financial results to adjust for non-compliance with certain banking covenants arising from the strategic reduction in occupancy and the planned repositioning of these assets and their financing. This revised disclosure is being made for the sole purpose of satisfying IFRS reporting requirements and has no effect on the REIT’s results or cashflows.”

Net Rental Income

For the portfolio that includes only assets owned entirely by the REIT (“IP Portfolio”), Net Rental Income (“NOI”) for the three months ended June 30, 2022 (“Q2 2022”), was CAD$6,718 (EUR€4,834) compared to CAD$6,918 (EUR€4,602) for the three months ended June 30, 2021 (“Q2 2021”). The slight operational EUR€232 year-on-year increase was not sufficient to offset the negative impact of the foreign exchange rate of CAD$522, leading to a CAD$200 decrease.

The positive impacts came from additional NOI contribution of the new acquisitions, Gaia and Delgado in the amount of CAD$1,574 (EUR€1,133), completed at the end of March 2022, as well as from the lease renewals in the Bad Homburg and Metropolitain properties for CAD$374 (EUR€269).

The sale of Jeuneurs at the end of 2021 and the redevelopment-driven lease terminations in the Baldi, Sabliere and Courbevoie properties in 2021, negatively impacted the Q2 2022 NOI respectively for CAD$853 (EUR€614) and CAD$855 (EUR€615). The three properties are positioned in the asset recycling plan and the complete vacancy of each of the three assets is required for redevelopment or sale of these assets. Long-standing banking covenants on the debt for each of these three assets necessitate minimum occupancy and revenue levels which cannot be maintained throughout the asset recycling program. The REIT has been in communication with banking officials prior to and throughout implementation of this strategy on the implications of these lease terminations on the covenants. Management has requested and expects to receive, formal waivers of these covenants by the lenders for a period of at least 12 months or a modification of the financing terms before the end of the year 2022. The REIT continues to meet all other obligations, covenants, and payments required as per the mortgage loan contracts.

In Q2 2022, Net Rental Income, adjusted for IFRIC 21 for the portfolio that includes the REIT’s proportionate share in joint ventures (“Total Portfolio”), was CAD$7,595 (EUR€5,462), compared to CAD$8,085 (EUR€5,378) for Q2 2021, a slight decrease for the same reasons described above with respect to the IP Portfolio, except for a slightly larger negative foreign exchange loss of CAD$610.

Leasing Operations

All of the REIT’s lease contracts in France, Germany and Spain have rental indexation that offsets the impact of inflation. Rent is increased annually to reflect the rising cost of living which protects returns to Unitholders.

In the REIT’s Total Portfolio, nearly 10,000 sq. ft. of previously vacant office space were leased over the first half of 2022, primarily in the Metropolitain property which is now 100% occupied, and in the Delizy building which is 75% occupied. A lease extension has been signed on the Trio property for five years for six percent of the property’s leaseable space. Voluntary lease terminations are progressing in the Courbevoie property which are required to facilitate the sale of the property on the terms set out in the December 2020 undertaking to sell.

As at June 30, 2022, occupancy for the REIT’s IP Portfolio was 78.2% and the Total Portfolio was 82.6%. Seven of the properties are at, or close to, 100% occupancy, and excluding the three properties in the asset recycling plan (Baldi, Courbevoie and Sablière), the occupancy rate would be 93%.

The Investment Portfolio (joint-venture assets) had 95.1% occupancy at June 30, 2022. The weighted average lease term (“WALT”) of the Total Portfolio stands at 2.8 years, with two major lease maturities in 2023 for the main tenants of the Arcueil and Neu-Isenburg properties. The Total Portfolio occupancy rate of 82.6% was negatively impacted by the voluntary lease terminations at the Courbevoie property. Excluding Courbevoie, the REIT’s Total Portfolio occupancy rate was 87%. Gaia’s occupancy rate of 84% belies the effective 100% rental revenue stream due to the 3-year rental guarantee on the vacant premises that the REIT received in advance at acquisition and which, for accounting purposes, was treated as a reduction in the acquisition price and not as rental income. The 16% vacancy has an impact of 1.1% on Total Portfolio occupancy.

Renewed interest from prospective tenants during Q2 2022 evidences growing confidence in our Parisian and German portfolio. To bolster leasing efforts, management will selectively complete capital expenditure improvements on vacant areas to attract tenants and maximize rent.

Capital Market Considerations

The REIT has delivered returns to unitholders by providing a superior investment opportunity on the basis of:

  • Investment diversification via exposure to selected European markets with a deeply experienced local asset manager;
  • Compelling risk/return ratio for commercial real estate, given low rates on 10-year government bonds;
  • Lower borrowing costs in the European community compared to Canada, fueled by the European Central Bank (“ECB”) policies; and
  • A Euro-currency backed hedge on distributions paid in CAD$, with a benefit in Q2 2022 of CAD$572 in finance income.

The REIT’s Unitholders’ equity on June 30, 2022 was CAD$301,648 (EUR€223,493), which implies a book value per Unit at that date of CAD$9.26/Unit or CAD$9.20/Unit on a fully-diluted basis, using the weighted average number of outstanding Units for the six-month period, despite a $0.58/unit negative foreign exchange impact over the first half of 2022, on a fully-diluted basis.

Adjusted Funds From Operations

The REIT follows the recommendations of the Real Property Association of Canada (“REALPAC”) (January 2022 White Paper) with certain exceptions. Funds from Operations (“FFO”) per unit and Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”) per unit are Non-GAAP ratios. Non-GAAP ratios do not have standardized meaning under IFRS. These measures as computed by the REIT may differ from similar computations as reported by other entities and, accordingly, may not be comparable to other entities. Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Measures section of this MD&A for a more detailed discussion on FFO and AFFO.

In Q2 2022, the REIT reported FFO and AFFO of CAD$0.14 per Unit, versus CAD$0.13 for the same period last year1. The AFFO payout ratio, a non-GAAP measure of the sustainability of the REIT’s distributions, is 149% for the Q2 2022. Management has established the goal of reducing the AFFO payout ratio to <95% by the end of Q4 2022, by investing available cash in accretive assets, asset recycling, and improving global occupancy.

Financing Activity

The REIT is financed almost exclusively with asset-level, non-recourse financing with an average term to maturity of 3.9 years for the Total Portfolio (4.2 years on the IP Portfolio).

As at June 30, 2022, the weighted average interest rate was 1.92% across the IP Portfolio and 1.93% on the Total Portfolio. The latest mortgage loan refinancing undertaken on the Duisburg property bears interest at 2.47%, reflecting the increase in interest rates on global financing markets.

Although hikes of the ECB key lending rates are anticipated in the remainder of 2022, management is confident that the REIT will continue to access financing opportunities. Historically low interest rates in Europe are less costly than those offered by traditional financing in Canada and the REIT has leveraged this advantage through its access to banking networks in Europe, as evidenced by the latest transactions.

Stuttgart, Germany

On the Stuttgart property, 50% held in a joint venture partnership, lease extension negotiations with the main tenant (93% occupancy) Daimler Trucks, are near completion. The new lease which is on the same financial terms (CAD$3,692; EUR€2,735 annual rent for 100% ownership), will lead to a WALT on the building of 6.7 years with a firm period of 4.8 years. Upon finalization of the lease, a total of CAD$1,215 (EUR€900) for 100% ownership will be invested in a capital expenditure subsidy that will be partially recoverable if early lease break options are exercised. The lease is currently in the process for obtaining signatures. The increased occupancy of this asset may provide an opportunity for refinancing before maturity of the current CAD$33,203 (EUR€24,600) bullet mortgage loan on improved terms.

Courbevoie (Veronese), France

The pending sale of the Courbevoie asset for CAD$36,711 (EUR€27,200) is contingent on the buyer obtaining a building permit and the REIT terminating all leases for tenants currently occupying the asset. At the end of June 2022, in line with the agreements signed in Q4 2021, two more tenants vacated the property. In Q2 2022, an extension to the commitment to sell was agreed on with the buyers for a sale to be completed by the end of December 2022 when the permit recourses are cleared and vacancy conditions are to be fulfilled. Management has estimated the terminations will cost a total of CAD$3,447 (EUR€2,554) to complete. Given the uncertainty related to the conditions attached to the promise to sell and the final timing of closing which has been deferred from Q1 2022 to the end of 2022, the Courbevoie property does not qualify for the presentation as an asset held for sale as of June 30, 2022.

Duisburg, Germany

The Duisburg property is 100% leased as at June 30, 2022, with a WALT of 4.8 years. In May 2022 the refinancing was completed on the previous CAD$33,067 (EUR€24,500) mortgage loan with a replacement CAD$44,540 (EUR€33,000) five-year term mortgage loan at a 2.47% fixed interest rate with a new financing institution. The refinancing generated for the REIT share about CAD$5,736 cash for joint venture loan repayment.

The main tenant in the Duisburg asset exercised an early break option, effective in December 2022 that will lead to a 87.6% occupancy if the space has not been leased to a new tenant by year end. Leasing activity for this space is underway.

Distributions

The Board of Trustees has determined to reduce the REIT’s monthly distribution to Unitholders from $0.068750 per unit to $0.034375 per unit, or from $0.8250 to $0.4125 on an annualized basis. The reduction in distributions will normalize the yield on distributions for the current Unit price of $7.20 to 5.7% from the previous yield of 11.5% and will contribute to the objective of reducing the FFO ratio to <95% by the end of 2022. The REIT’s Units are currently trading at a 22% discount to net asset value. The reduction in the distributions will provide the REIT with additional retained cash flow of approximately $13 million per annum. The decrease in distributions will be effective beginning with the REIT’s September 2022 distribution (the “September Distribution”), payable to Unitholders in October 2022. The retained cash flow available as a result of the reduction in distributions will be used to fund redevelopment projects that drive long-term net asset value growth. The Board of Trustees will reevaluate the distribution policy on a quarterly basis.

Th Board of Trustees also announced today that it has decided not to proceed with its previously announced initiative to automatically distribute to unitholders 50% of all profits received from the sale of its properties. The Board of Trustees has determined that, rather than implement this as a defined practice, it would be prudent to make such determination for any potential special distribution resulting from a sale of a property on a case by case basis, based on then prevailing opportunities .

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

The REIT has suspended its Distribution Reinvestment and Unit Purchase Plan (the “DRIP”) effective as of the September Distribution. The DRIP will remain suspended until further notice and commencing with the September Distribution, distributions of the REIT will be paid only in cash. Upon reinstatement of the DRIP, plan participants enrolled in the DRIP at the time of its suspension who remain enrolled at the time of its reinstatement will automatically resume participation in the DRIP. The decision to suspend the DRIP was taken by the Board of Trustees given that the current trading price of the REIT is currently below the REIT’s net asset value and therefore the Trustees do not believe it is in the best interests of the REIT or its Unitholders to issue Units at current prices.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

Integrating ESG objectives and strategies into the REIT’s business reflects the growing importance these factors play with many of our key stakeholders. Investors recognize the risks associated with changing regulatory requirements, tenants are including sustainability considerations in their leasing decisions, and employees want to work for responsible and socially-focused organizations. The REIT is working to improve its long-term environmental performance, and also invest in “human capital” for the implementation and monitoring of all ESG initiatives. Management is overseeing a portfolio-wide ESG independent audit of all assets, with the view to formalizing ESG priorities. The exercise will identify clear and measurable ESG practices and disclosures which we will apply and ensure are addressed by our third-party service providers.

Refiled Financial Statements, MD&A and Annual Information Form As a result of the requirement to reclassify $24 million of senior debt as short term debt, the REIT has refiled its 2021 audited financial statements and unaudited Q1 2022 financial statements in addition to the MD&A accompanying each of those statements, and the 2021 Annual Information Form. The reclassification of the $24 million of senior debt to short term debt was required as a result of the non-compliance with certain banking covenants during such periods arising from the strategic reduction in occupancy of these assets and planned repayment of these loans pursuant to the REIT’s asset recycling strategy. This revised disclosure has been made pursuant to IFRS reporting requirements and has no effect on the REIT’s results or cashflows. All loans are paid to date and the financial institutions involved are fully aware of the situation and have not indicated any intention to enforce the terms of these particular covenants. No further adjustments have been made to the previously released financial statements of the REIT.

ABOUT INOVALIS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST

The REIT is an unincorporated, open-ended real estate investment trust established pursuant to a declaration of trust under the laws of the Province of Ontario. The REIT has been created for the purpose of acquiring and owning office properties primarily located in France and Germany but also opportunistically in other European countries where assets meet the REIT’s investment criteria.

Certain material factors or assumptions are applied in making forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. The estimates and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect, include, but are not limited to, the various assumptions set forth in this document as well as the following:

  1. the ability to continue to receive financing on acceptable terms;
  2. the future level of indebtedness and the REIT’s future growth potential will remain consistent with current expectations;
  3. the success of the asset recycling program;
  4. there will be no changes to tax laws adversely affecting the REIT’s financing capability, operations, activities, structure, or distributions;

  7. there will be no material changes to government and environmental regulations that could adversely affect operations;
  8. conditions in the international and, in particular, the French, German, Spanish and other European real estate markets, including competition for acquisitions, will be consistent with past conditions;
  9. capital markets will provide the REIT with readily available access to equity and/or debt financing; and
  10. the impact the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical conflict in the Ukraine and Russia will have on the REIT’s operations, the demand for the REIT’s properties and global supply chains and economic activity in general.

The REIT cautions that this list of assumptions is not exhaustive. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based upon assumptions that management believes are reasonable based on information currently available to management, there can be no assurance that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements.

When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, the REIT cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these statements, as forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not, or the times at or by which, such performance or results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to:

  • the REIT’s ability to execute its growth and capital deployment strategies;
  • the REIT’s ability to execute its asset recycling program;
  • the impact of changing conditions in the European office market;
  • the marketability and value of the REIT’s portfolio;
  • changes in the attitudes, financial condition and demand in the REIT’s demographic markets;
  • fluctuation in interest rates and volatility in financial markets;
  • the duration and ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related government interventions as well as the geopolitical conflict in the Ukraine and Russia on the REIT’s business, operations and financial results;
  • general economic conditions, including any continuation or intensification of the current economic downturn;
  • developments and changes in applicable laws and regulations; and
  • such other factors discussed under ‘‘Risk Factors and Uncertainties” in the REIT’s Annual Information Form.

If any risks or uncertainties with respect to the above materialize, or if the opinions, estimates or assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results or future events might vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the future. Certain statements included in this press release may be considered a ‘‘financial outlook” for purposes of applicable Canadian securities laws, and as such, the financial outlook may not be appropriate for purposes other than this press release. All forward-looking statements are based only on information currently available to the REIT and are made as of the date of this press release. Except as expressly required by applicable Canadian securities law, the REIT assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements in this press release are qualified by these cautionary statements.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND OTHER MEASURES

Information in this press release is a select summary of results. There are financial measures included in this press release that do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS. These measures include funds from operations, adjusted funds from operations, and other measures presented on a proportionate share basis. These measures have been derived from the REIT’s financial statements and applied on a consistent basis as appropriate. Management includes these measures as they represent key performance indicators to management, and it believes certain investors use these measures as a means of assessing relative financial performance. These measures, as computed by the REIT, may differ from similar computations as reported by other entities and, accordingly, may not be comparable to other such entities. These measures should not be considered in isolation or used in substitute for other measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The REIT has adopted the guidance under National Instrument 52-112 Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure for the purpose of this press release. These measures and ratios are defined below:

“Accretive Assets” means that, at the time of the asset acquisition, the pro forma (post-deal) net income per Unit is forecast as higher than the REIT’s (pre-deal) net income per Unit.

“Adjusted Funds From Operations” or “AFFO” is a meaningful supplemental measure that can be used to determine the REIT’s ability to service debt, fund expansion capital expenditures, fund property development, and provide distributions to unitholders after considering costs associated with sustaining operating earnings.

AFFO calculations are reconciled to net income, which is the most directly comparable IFRS measure. AFFO should not be construed as an alternative to net income or cash flow generated from operating activities, determined in accordance with IFRS.

AFFO is defined as FFO subject to certain adjustments, including adjustments for: (i) the non-cash effect of straight-line rents, (ii) the cash effect of the lease equalization loans, (iii) amortization of fair value adjustment on assumed debt, (iv) the non-cash portion of the asset management fees paid in Exchangeable securities, (v) capital expenditures, excluding those funded by a dedicated cash reserve or capex financing, and (vi) amortization of transaction costs on mortgage loans.
