Family trade business focused on plumbing, heating and gas adopts technology to change the way they work and improve site-to-office communications for young team

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Procore Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: PCOR), a leading global provider of construction management software, today announced that Alex Leclerc, a mechanical contractor based in Donnacona, Québec, has selected Procore as its construction management platform.

Formed in 1945, Alex Leclerc is a family business focused on plumbing, heat and gas. Four generations later, the company is a leader in the commercial and residential markets. With a large employee base, the company prides itself on its dedication to understanding the needs of its employees and customers.

Alex Leclerc’s Financial Director, Jean-Simon Boulanger, has a passion for digital transformation. Boulanger saw the value technology was bringing to the industry and wanted to digitize the company’s processes. He led the charge to find an all-in-one technology solution that could facilitate employees’ day-to-day activities and help them do their jobs efficiently with tools that could, for example, allow them to see plans digitally. The company was also looking for a way to improve site-to-office communications.

As a Québec-based organization, it was important the solution be available in French, and that anyone supporting their team – whether it was sales, training or customer service – was able to communicate with them in their native language.

After a thorough search and evaluation, the company selected Procore as its first construction management software. Alex Leclerc will use Procore to submit bids, approve commitments, track RFIs and respond to punch list items with Procore Project Management Pro. The company will use tools including Drawings, RFIs, Submittals and Daily Log to provide an overview of the status of projects in real-time, to ensure a continuous flow of information between sites and the office, and more.

“We wanted to support our teams onsite and in the office with a solution that would improve how we all work,” said Mélanie Lajeunesse, Vice-President and CEO of Alex Leclerc. “Procore met all of our requirements and stood out to us for many reasons, including its history and reputation in the industry as well as its unlimited user model. It’s also customizable to the way we work so we know we can adapt it as we grow or as things change. We look forward to continuing to collaborate with the Procore team as we implement the platform.”

“At Procore, we regularly solicit feedback from customers across the globe, including Québec, to see how we can better meet local needs,” said Jas Saraw, vice president, Canada at Procore. “Alex Leclerc is a family business with a meaningful history in the Québec construction market. Procore is proud to support them in this next phase of their journey as they move forward with new insights and processes that will not only improve the way they work, but also how they deliver services to their customers.”

About Alex Leclerc

Alex Leclerc is set apart by the quality of the company’s work and its personalized approach.

In 2001, the founder’s grandson, Patrice Leclerc (President, Operations Director), took over the family business with his wife, Mélanie Lajeunesse. The two owners have surrounded themselves with a young, dynamic team which is giving new impetus to the business. More than 20 years later, the family tradition continues with Alex’s great-grandson, Félix Leclerc (Operations Assistant Director) who recently became part of the ownership. The family teamed up with two other partners: Patrice Gauthier (Projects Director) and Jean-Simon Boulanger. The company has succeeded in establishing itself as a leader in the commercial market, in addition to confirming its presence in the residential market. Today, Alex Leclerc is a team of more than 60 employees led by five young owners who are dedicated to make their employees happy, respect the needs of their customers and create a difference in their community. www.alexleclerc.ca

CALGARY, Alberta–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#buildingprogress–Lafarge Canada, a member of Holcim Group, today announced the opening of the company’s first four Electric Vehicle Charging Stations in Canada at its Kent Ave Ready Mix Concrete Plant in Vancouver, British Columbia.

The project was initiated in March of 2022 by Lafarge’s Vancouver team with support from Lafarge Canada for secured funding of $50 thousand and an additional $20 thousand from the CleanBC Go Electric Vehicle (EV) charger rebate program administered by BC Hydro.

The Kent Ave stations are the first of 100 charging stations planned for installation at 30 sites across British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba to create the infrastructure to support Lafarge Western Canada’s transition of its *light-duty vehicle fleet to electric vehicles by 2025. The fleet initiative creates the potential to eliminate 188 tons of CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions over the next five years.

The Kent Ave stations are accessible to all employees who drive electric vehicles or would like to transition their personal vehicle to electric or hybrid models.

The migration to electric vehicles is in line with Holcim’s (US and Canada) overarching goal to reduce indirect carbon emissions from sources like transportation (Scope 3 emissions). By investing in emerging technology, Lafarge Canada is progressing towards generating benefits for people and the planet.

“We are thrilled that Western Canada has opened the first electric vehicle charging stations to kick-start this exciting effort planned across our Canada operations to advance our goal of net-zero as part of our environmental commitments.” -Brad Kohl, CEO, Lafarge, Western Canada

*Lafarge Western Canada’s transition of its light-duty fleet to hybrid and electrical vehicles by 2025 will include the full-time sales and logistics operations in British Columbia, Northern Alberta and Southern Alberta.

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

OTTAWA, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–InterRent Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX-IIP.UN) (“InterRent” or the “REIT”) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

InterRent REIT achieves 8.9% growth in same property NOI in Q2 2022

• Same property occupancy of 95.6% in June 2022, an increase of 340bps compared to June 2021.
• Same property operating expenses continue to track in line with expectations, resulting in same property NOI of $29.8 million for the quarter and growth of 8.9% compared to Q2 2021.
• Administrative costs of $4.3 million in Q2 2022 capture increased bench strength relative to prior year, as well as advances toward sustainability commitments.
• Refinancing activity in the quarter lengthens average term to maturity to 4.8 years and increases share of CMHC-insured mortgages to 73%.
• FFO of $18.9 million ($0.131 per Unit – diluted) in Q2 2022; growth of 6.3% overall and 5.6% on a per Unit basis compared to Q2 2021.
• Enhancing environmental profile with new build acquisition in Brossard in Q2 2022.

Solid net operating income serves to offset higher expense base in the second quarter

As of June 30, 2022, InterRent had 100% ownership in 12,573 suites, up 6.1% from 11,850 as of Q2 2021. Including properties that the REIT owns in its joint operations, InterRent owned or managed 13,180 suites as of June 30, 2022. At 95.1%, the June 2022 occupancy rate in InterRent’s portfolio improved 360bps over June 2021 (91.5%) and is in line with seasonal expectations against March 2022 backdrop (95.5%). The REIT’s same property portfolio likewise saw year-over-year occupancy gains in Q2 2022, posting an improvement of 340bps over June 2021 to reach 95.6%.

Within the same property portfolio, June 2022 occupancy slipped 80bps relative to March 2022 (96.4%), largely driven by a dip in the National Capital Region. Encouragingly, this region is seeing strong demand post-quarter, which should support an improved figure in Q3.

Total portfolio operating revenues in Q2 2022 were up +17.5% over Q2 2021 following a strong year of external growth in 2021. Narrowing to the same property portfolio, operating revenues grew 9.5% in Q2 2022 to $46.7 million, driven by improvements in average rent per suite (+6.2%). Though the current inflationary environment is impacting operating expenses for the REIT’s portfolio, property operating costs and utility consumption for Q2 2022 are tracking in line with internal budget expectations. Total and same property portfolios both saw mild NOI margin contraction of 30bps relative to Q2 2021, with top line strength generating year-over-year NOI growth of 16.9%, and 8.9%, respectively, in the quarter.

Administrative costs of $4.3 million in Q2 2022 are higher compared to both Q2 2021 ($3.2 million) and Q1 2022 ($3.5 million) and are more representative of the REIT’s expected run-rate following the strategic build out of its team in 2021 and ongoing sustainability efforts. Of note, approximately 7% of the Q2 2022 figure relates to ESG actions, including the impact of InterRent’s initiative to support refugees from Ukraine and Afghanistan, foundational work for the REIT’s climate commitments, and various biodiversity initiatives across the portfolio.

Financing costs in Q2 2022 came in at $10.4 million, reflecting the higher rate environment relative to Q2 2021 ($7.5 million). During the quarter, the Trust closed on three new mortgages totaling an additional $71.0 million, renewed three mortgages totaling $54.6 million, and closed on six up-financings totaling $161.6 million (maturing loans totaled $50.5 million). As a result, the average term to maturity of the REIT’s mortgage debt was approximately 4.8 years at June 30, 2022, compared to 4.5 years at March 31, 2022, and the share of mortgage debt backed by CMHC insurance increased from 71% at the end of Q1 2022 to 73% at the end of Q2 2022. Given the higher rate environment in Q2 2022, this refinancing activity saw the weighted average cost of mortgage debt increase to 2.8%, 29bps higher relative to March 31, 2022. Subsequent to the quarter, the REIT has continued to work through its remaining 2022 mortgage maturities with only $92 million of 2022 maturities remaining to be renewed or up-financed as of July 31, 2022. As of July 31^st, the variable rate debt exposure has been reduced to 7.2%, the weighted average interest rate has increased to 2.99% and the average life to maturity has been extended to over 5 years.

Net income for Q2 2022 was $77.6 million, an increase of $16.5 million compared to Q2 2021. This difference was due primarily to the fair value gain on financial liabilities which was $31.2 million in Q2 2022, versus a loss of $16.0 million in Q2 2021 due to movements in the REIT’s unit price. Also contributing was a fair value gain on investment properties of $27.8 million and an increase in net operating income of $4.9 million offset by a $2.9 million increase in financing costs, as well as a $1.0 million increase in administrative costs.

At $18.9 million ($0.131 per Unit – diluted), FFO increased by 6.3% compared to Q2 2021 ($17.8 million or $0.124 per Unit – diluted), resulting in 5.6% growth on a per Unit basis. AFFO grew from $15.7 million ($0.110 per Unit – diluted) in Q2 2021 to $16.3 million ($0.113 per Unit – diluted) in Q2 2022, representing 3.8% and 2.7% growth on an absolute and per Unit basis, respectively.

Enhancing environmental profile with new build acquisition in Q2 2022

On June 30, 2022, InterRent closed on the acquisition of a recently constructed luxury 254-suite apartment community in Brossard on the south shore of Montreal for $109.3 million⁽¹⁾. With stand-out sustainability features, the community boasts 25% better GHG emissions and energy performance than building code requirements and led to CMHC-insured financing that qualified under the MLI Select program using energy efficiency and GHG emission criteria.

Commenting on the results published today, Brad Cutsey, President & CEO of InterRent, said: “Our financial results for the second quarter of 2022 demonstrate the resilience of our business model despite ongoing macro headwinds. Although we are navigating short-term challenges of inflation and interest rate volatility, one constant remains – at InterRent, we remain steadfast in our mission to create communities where people are proud to call home. We see encouraging demand trends going into Q3 and look forward to sharing our progress in the coming months.”

*Non-GAAP Measures

InterRent prepares and releases unaudited quarterly and audited consolidated annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS (GAAP). In this and other earnings releases, as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP, InterRent also discloses and discusses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Gross Rental Revenue, NOI, Same Property results, Repositioned Property results, FFO, AFFO, ACFO and EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures are further defined and discussed in the MD&A dated August 9, 2022, which should be read in conjunction with this press release. Since Gross Rental Revenue, NOI, Same Property results, Repositioned Property results, FFO, AFFO, ACFO and EBITDA are not determined by GAAP, they may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other issuers. InterRent has presented such non-GAAP measures as Management believes these measures are relevant measures of the ability of InterRent to earn and distribute cash returns to Unitholders and to evaluate InterRent’s performance. These non-GAAP measures should not be construed as alternatives to net income (loss) or cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of InterRent’s performance.
