BROOKFIELD NEWS, May 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Brookfield Property Partners L.P. (NASDAQ: BPY; NASDAQ: BPYU; TSX: BPY.UN) (âBPYâ) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
âWe remain focused on the safety of our people, our customers and tenants, and the communities in which we operate. Given our strong liquidity position and the high-quality nature of the assets we own, our business is well-positioned to absorb both the current and longer-term impacts of this recession and health crisis. We are also utilizing our various real estate locations, capital and people to do our part in contributing to the relief efforts around the globe,â said Brian Kingston, Chief Executive Officer.
Financial Results
Company FFO (âCFFOâ) was $309 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared to last year when we recorded $307 million. In the prior year period, Company FFO and realized gains benefited from higher realizations in our LP investment strategy.
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was a loss of $373 million ($(0.49) per LP unit) versus a gain of $713 million ($0.32 per LP unit) for the same period in 2019. The decrease in net income over the prior year period is primarily attributable to an adjustment in asset values across the portfolio.

Operating Highlights
Compared to the prior-year period, our Core Office business generated 3% same-property net operating income (âNOIâ) growth and fee income increased 29% to $31 million. CFFO totaled $135 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to $140 million in the same period in 2019. The decrease in CFFO is primarily attributable to asset sales in this portfolio.
Core Office leasing activity totaled 2.0 million square feet, signed at rents 16% higher on average than expiring leases in the period. Occupancy in the portfolio decreased 70 basis points in the first quarter to 92.5%.
Our Core Retail operations generated CFFO of $195 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to $184 million in the comparable period in 2019. The current quarter results include $30 million in transactional income from the sale of investment positions, which more than offset a slight decline in property NOI and fee income.
Our Core Retail business leased approximately 8.4 million square feet over the past 12 months with suite-to-suite rent spreads of 8%, a 400-basis-point increase over the prior quarter. Same-store occupancy levels remained at 95.2% for quarter-end March 31, 2020, consistent with the prior year. On a year-over-year basis, in-place rents remained unchanged, and tenant sales grew 6% to $6511 per square foot.
Our LP Investments generated CFFO and realized gains of $76 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared to $146 million in the comparable period in 2019. Results in the prior year period benefited from $60 million of realized gains from the sale of mature assets, and CFFO was negatively impacted ($0.03 per unit) this quarter by a decrease in earnings from our Hospitality investments which saw a significant decline in revenue in March.

_______________________________
1 Retail tenant sales reflect data collected as of February 2020 and are reported on a non-NOI-weighted basis. Previous quarters were reported on an NOI-weighted basis.
Dispositions
In the first quarter, we completed $223 million of gross asset dispositions at our share, at prices that were consistent with our IFRS carrying values. These sales generated approximately $119 million in net proceeds to BPY.
New Investments
- Acquired from Chevron, 1 The Esplanade development site in Perth. On the site, Brookfield will develop a 581,000-square-foot, premium grade office tower for Chevron, who has pre-committed to occupy 78% of the building for a 15-year term commencing in 2023 on completion of the building. BPY concurrently entered into a forward sale arrangement for a 50% interest in the building to an institutional investor at a record cap rate for the Perth Prime Office CBD market – with 100% of the forward sale equity proceeds received in Q1 2020.
- Through investment in BSREP III, interests in three premier U.S. hotels ($28 million at BPY’s share).
Balance Sheet Update
To increase liquidity and extend the maturity of our debt, during the first quarter we executed the following financing transactions:
- Refinanced 2 Manhattan West with a five-year (seven years fully extended) construction loan totaling $1.45 billion at a floating interest rate of LIBOR +2.25%.
- Refinanced 25 Churchill Place in London for £444 million for a five-year term at a floating interest rate of LIBOR +2.13%, generating net proceeds of £60 million.
- Refinanced Hudsonâs Bay Centre in Toronto for C$187 million for a two-year term at a floating interest rate of CDOR +1.50%, generating net proceeds of C$50 million.
- Refinanced Miami Design District for $500 million for a 10-year term at a fixed interest rate of 4.13%.
- Issued $288 million of green Preferred Shares, Series 3 at an initial fixed interest rate of 5.75%. Proceeds will be used to fund sustainable property initiatives.
Subsequent to quarter-end, we have been successful in executing on several short-term financing extensions and have been encouraged by our April rent collections in our office and multifamily portfolios, which have averaged above 90%. Although our retail portfolio collections were about 20%, they were in-line with our expectations based on the immediate impact to retailer cash flows from closures. We have begun to actively engage with our tenants to agree upon payment plans and are in the process of already opening up 50 of our U.S. retail centers.
We are well-positioned from a liquidity perspective, ending the quarter with $7.2 billion of group-wide liquidity including $1.8 billion of cash on hand, $3.7 billion of corporate and subsidiary credit facilities and $1.7 billion of undrawn construction facilities.
Unit Repurchase Program
Utilizing our in-place normal course issuer bid, we purchased 7,752,911 of BPY units in the first quarter of 2020 at an average price of $13.07 per unit/share.
COVID-19 Relief
As an organization, we are utilizing our various real estate locations and human resources to do our part in contributing to the COVID-19 relief efforts around the globe. We are encouraging all of our local managers to find creative ways to support their communities in this time of need.
Efforts to-date include, but are not limited to:
- A number of our retail center parking lots are being used for civic purposes such as blood drives, food banks, mobile testing sites, or other community needs, including drive-through farmers markets.
- In our global hospitality platform, our support efforts have ranged from donating property uses for first responders, accommodating military and national guard groups at no cost or low cost, use of hotel kitchens to feed furloughed employees, and providing food inventories to employees.
- We are providing parking spaces at several of our properties proximate to healthcare facilities for use by medical personnel and are participating with local organizations to provide meals and other basic necessities to healthcare workers after their shifts.
- We are participating in a mobile phone drive to collect and distribute mobile phones to vulnerable individuals that may not have access to communication during a lockdown.
- We have made a portion of our free community arts programming available virtually so that local residents can continue to access and enjoy cultural experiences.
- We co-hosted an informational webinar for our retail and office tenants discussing eligibility and the application process for Federal funding under the CARES act. We have further resources on our website to assist small businesses to easily understand criteria and apply for the loans they are eligible for.
Distribution Declaration
The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly distribution on the partnershipâs LP units of $0.3325 per unit payable on June 30, 2020 to unitholders of record at the close of business on May 29, 2020.
The quarterly distributions on the LP units are declared in U.S. dollars. Registered unitholders residing in the United States shall receive quarterly cash distributions in U.S. dollars and registered unitholders not residing in the United States shall receive quarterly cash distributions in the Canadian dollar equivalent, based on the Bank of Canada exchange rate on the record date. Registered unitholders residing in the United States have the option, through Brookfield Property Partnersâ transfer agent, AST Trust Company (Canada) (âASTâ), to elect to receive quarterly cash distributions in the Canadian dollar equivalent and registered unitholders not residing in the United States have the option through AST to elect to receive quarterly cash distributions in U.S. dollars. Beneficial unitholders (i.e., those holding their units in street name with their brokerage) should contact the broker with whom their units are held to discuss their options regarding distribution currency.
The Board of Directors has also declared quarterly distributions on the partnershipâs Class A Series 1 and Class A Series 2 preferred units of $0.40625 per unit, and $0.39844 per unit, respectively, payable on June 30, 2020 to holders of record at the close of business on June 1, 2020. The Board also declared an initial distribution on the partnership’s Class A Series 3 preferred units of $0.52708 payable on June 30, 2020 to holders of record at the close of business on June 1, 2020.
Additional Information
Further details regarding the operations of the Partnership are set forth in regulatory filings. A copy of the filings may be obtained through the website of the SEC at www.sec.gov and on the Partnershipâs SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
The Partnershipâs quarterly letter to unitholders and supplemental information package can be accessed before the market open on May 8, 2020 at bpy.brookfield.com. This additional information should be read in conjunction with this press release.
Basis of Presentation
This press release and accompanying financial information make reference to net operating income (âNOIâ), same-property NOI, funds from operations (âFFOâ), Company FFO and realized gains (âCompany FFO and realized gainsâ) and net income attributable to unitholders.
Company FFO and realized gains, and net income attributable to unitholders are also presented on a per unit basis. NOI, same-property NOI, FFO, Company FFO and realized gains, and net income attributable to unitholders do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (âIFRSâ) and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Partnership uses NOI, same-property NOI, FFO, Company FFO and realized gains, and net income attributable to unitholders to assess its operating results. These measures should not be used as alternatives to Net Income and other operating measures determined in accordance with IFRS, but rather to provide supplemental insights into performance. Further, these measures do not represent liquidity measures or cash flow from operations and are not intended to be representative of the funds available for distribution to unitholders either in aggregate or on a per unit basis, where presented.
NOI is defined as revenues from commercial and hospitality operations of consolidated properties less direct commercial property and hospitality expenses. As NOI includes the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial property and hospitality assets, it provides a measure to evaluate the performance of the property operations.
Same-property NOI is a subset of NOI, which excludes NOI that is earned from assets acquired, disposed of or developed during the periods presented, or not of a recurring nature, and from opportunistic assets. Same-property NOI allows the Partnership to segregate the performance of leasing and operating initiatives on the portfolio from the impact to performance from investing activities and âone-time items,â which for the historical periods presented consist primarily of lease termination income.
FFO is defined as income, including equity accounted income, before realized gains (losses) from the sale of investment property (except gains (losses) related to properties developed for sale), fair value gains (losses) (including equity accounted fair value gains (losses)), depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, income tax expense (benefit), and less non-controlling interests of others in operating subsidiaries and properties. FFO is a widely recognized measure that is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of real estate entities, particularly those that own and operate income producing properties. The Partnershipâs definition of FFO includes all of the adjustments that are outlined in the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (âNAREITâ) definition of FFO. In addition to the adjustments prescribed by NAREIT, the Partnership also makes adjustments to exclude any unrealized fair value gains (or losses) that arise as a result of reporting under IFRS, and income taxes that arise as certain of its subsidiaries are structured as corporations as opposed to real estate investment trusts (âREITsâ). These additional adjustments result in an FFO measure that is similar to that which would result if the Partnership was organized as a REIT that determined net income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (âU.S. GAAPâ), which is the type of organization on which the NAREIT definition is premised. The Partnershipâs FFO measure will differ from other organizations applying the NAREIT definition to the extent of certain differences between the IFRS and U.S. GAAP reporting frameworks, principally related to the recognition of lease termination income. FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year-over-year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and interest costs.
Company FFO and realized gains is defined as FFO before the impact of depreciation and amortization of non-real estate assets, transaction costs, gains (losses) associated with non-investment properties, imputed interest on equity accounted investments, realized gains in the partnershipâs LP Investment segment and the partnershipâs share of BSREP III Company FFO and realized gains. Realized LP Investment gains represent income earned on investing activity when fund investments are realized, inclusive of associated change in carried interest to be due at a future date to the general partner of the relevant Brookfield Asset Management-sponsored funds. The partnership accounts for the investment in BSREP III as a financial asset and income (loss) of the fund is not presented in the partnershipâs results. Distributions from BSREP III, recorded as dividend income under IFRS, are removed from investment and other income for Company FFO and realized gains presentation.
Net income attributable to unitholders is defined as net income attributable to holders of general partnership units and limited partnership units of the Partnership, redeemable/exchangeable and special limited partnership units of Brookfield Property L.P., limited partnership units of Brookfield Office Properties Exchange LP and Class A shares of Brookfield Property REIT Inc. Net income attributable to unitholders is used by the Partnership to evaluate the performance of the Partnership as a whole as each of the unitholders participates in the economics of the Partnership equally. In calculating net income attributable to unitholders per unit, the Partnership excludes the impact of mandatorily convertible preferred units in determining the average number of units outstanding as the holders of mandatorily convertible preferred units do not participate in current earnings. The Partnership reconciles this measure to basic net income attributable to unitholders per unit determined in accordance with IFRS which includes the effect of mandatorily convertible preferred units in the basic average number of units outstanding.
