TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–DREAM IMPACT TRUST (TSX: MPCT.UN) (“Dream Impact”, “we”, “our” or the “Trust”) today reported its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 (“third quarter”).

For the second consecutive year, the Trust is pleased to achieve a five-star rating from GRESB, the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark, which is recognition of its placement in the top 20% global benchmark with an overall score of 88/100. The Trust’s score can be attributed to excellent performance in Leadership, Policies, Reporting, Targets and, Data Monitoring and Review. Annual participation in the GRESB assessment provides the Trust with the opportunity for a third-party assessment of our continued progress towards achieving the Trust’s impact/ESG related goals. Further details on specific ESG metrics will be disclosed as part of our 2021 Sustainability Update report, which will be published in November.

“We are pleased with the Trust’s steady progress to create a more resilient portfolio,” said Michael Cooper, Portfolio Manager. “As we add an additional 210 multi-family units to our recurring income segment in the quarter, and construction continues on our 1,863-unit rental buildings in the West Don Lands, we believe we are well positioned to weather ongoing market disruptions by investing in high-quality assets, and contributing meaningfully to important societal issues. While our pace of external acquisitions may slow in the near term, with the largest portfolio of net-zero development and our extensive residential pipeline, we have tremendous internal growth.”

Selected financial and operating metrics for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, are summarized below:

		Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
			2022			2021			2022			2021
Condensed consolidated results of operations
Net income (loss)		$	337		$	2,154		$	1,309		$	(5,509)
Net income (loss) per unit(1)			0.01			0.03			0.02			(0.08)
Distributions declared and paid per unit			0.10			0.10			0.30			0.30
Units outstanding – end of period			66,094,687			64,939,362			66,094,687			64,939,362
Units outstanding – weighted average			65,982,734			65,066,259			65,637,245			64,934,850

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Trust reported net income of $0.3 million compared to net income of $2.2 million in the prior year. The change in earnings was primarily driven by timing of fair value adjustments on our income properties and developments, upon milestone achievements, as well as higher interest expense. This was partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on the Trust’s investment in the U.S. hotel.

As at September 30, 2022, the Trust had $9.0 million of cash-on-hand, which included unused proceeds from the Trust’s convertible debenture issuance. The Trust’s debt-to-asset value⁽¹⁾ as at September 30, 2022 was 27.3%, an increase relative to 25.7% as of June 30, 2022, primarily due to draws on the credit facility. For similar reasons, the Trust’s debt-to-total asset value, inclusive of project-level debt⁽¹⁾ and assets within our development segment, including equity accounted investments, was 60.0% as at September 30, 2022, compared to 57.4% as at June 30, 2022. This includes long-term government debt at low interest rates and high leverage, providing financial benefits that help us pay for the social benefits we provide, including our affordable housing and sustainability programs within our communities. As at September 30, 2022, the Trust had drawn $24.8 million on its $50.0 million credit facility.

As part of the Trust’s ongoing risk management practices, the Trust monitors the impact of macroeconomic factors on the business. This includes assessing the impact of cost escalations on operations and construction projects, and the impact of rising interest rates on our portfolio. We continue to monitor our capital allocation on an ongoing basis, pursue refinancing opportunities which mitigate interest rate risk, and tender a significant portion of development costs prior to construction commencement which helps contain inflationary risk.

Recurring Income

In the third quarter, the Trust’s recurring income segment generated net income of $1.2 million, consistent with prior year, although the composition of earnings differed in each period due to transaction costs, fair value adjustments and occupancy rates across the portfolio.

Throughout the period, we have continued to see strong leasing momentum across our multi-family rental buildings, ending the quarter with in-place and committed residential occupancy at 93.5% as of September 30, 2022, up from 82.5% as of June 30, 2022. Notably, Aalto Suites, a 162-unit multi-family rental building at Zibi, ended the quarter with in-place and committed occupancy at 74.7%, up from 34.6% at June 30, 2022. Aalto Suites has 95% of its units designated as affordable and we anticipate achieving stabilization for the asset in early 2023.

In the third quarter, the Trust acquired a 50% interest in 70 Park, a 210-unit multi-family rental building adjacent to the Port Credit GO station and in close proximity to the Trust’s Brightwater development. The gross purchase price for the site was $105.5 million (at 100%), of which approximately $25 million was allocated to land slated for redevelopment on the site. Inclusive of 70 Park, the Trust’s multi-family rental portfolio is comprised of nearly 1,600 units of which 25% are considered affordable.

Based on the Trust’s current development pipeline, we have an additional 2,826 residential units and 153,000 square feet (“sf”) of commercial and retail (at 100%) with an estimated value on completion of $508.5 million that will be completed and contribute to recurring income over the next three years. For further details, refer to the “Three-Year Recurring Income” table in Section 2.1, “Recurring Income”, in the Trust’s MD&A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Development

In the third quarter, the development segment generated net income of $2.9 million compared to $4.2 million in the prior period. The decrease relative to prior year was driven by fair value gains recognized in 2021 within the Trust’s equity accounted investments, partially offset by higher foreign exchange gains on the Trust’s investment in the U.S. hotel this year.

In the period, we completed the acquisition of the Berkeley land assembly, which comprises five income properties adjacent to the Trust’s commercial asset, 49 Ontario, located in downtown Toronto. Inclusive of one property purchased in 2021, the Berkeley land assembly was purchased for $16.9 million, including transaction costs. The Trust has submitted a rezoning application for over 800,000 sf for this site and expects rezoning to be achieved by 2023. As of September 30, 2022, 49 Ontario was carried at $95.0 million per the Trust’s financial statements.

Other⁽²⁾

In the third quarter, the Other segment generated a net loss of $3.8 million compared to $3.3 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by interest expense on the Trust’s convertible debentures and credit facility. Partially offsetting this was a deferred compensation recovery and decrease in the asset management fee as a result of fluctuations in the Trust’s share price.

Cash Generated from Operating Activities

Cash generated in operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $1.5 million compared to cash generated of $4.3 million in the prior year, a decrease driven by proceeds received from a legacy development in the prior year and timing of deposits made on the Trust’s acquisitions.

Free, Open-Access Tool for Built Environment Sector to Support Carbon-Smart Procurement Decisions

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Building Transparency, a nonprofit organization that provides open-access data and tools to foster a better building future, today announces the launch of the beta version of its latest tool, Tally Climate Action Tool (tallyCAT), which is keenly focused on carbon reductions. Developed in collaboration with Perkins&Will and C-Change Labs and funded by the Province of British Columbia, this free and open-access tool provides the data necessary to prioritize low-carbon products and make environmentally responsible decisions early, swiftly, and confidently – all while working within Revit, a building information modeling (BIM) software.

tallyCAT beta marks an important milestone for the building and construction industry as it is being launched at a time when attention to embodied carbon reduction is a growing priority. The tool provides designers with real-time information on material performance and carbon impacts via direct access to the Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator’s (EC3’s) global database of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) – the primary pathway for manufacturers to communicate the environmental impacts of their products. It will also integrate directly into Revit, saving designers time and allowing them to scale up.

“Our team at Building Transparency is hyper-focused on providing the tools and resources needed to help the built environment industry understand, measure, and reduce its embodied carbon emissions,” said Stacy Smedley, Executive Director at Building Transparency. “The tallyCAT beta tool is another step for us in providing a robust ecosystem of tools to enable action and the prioritization of low-carbon design and procurement decisions. With this new tool, we’re able to meet designers where they are in Revit and provide the data necessary to drive green specification and procurement.”

Development & Support of tallyCAT

The development of tallyCAT beta is made possible through a partnership between Building Transparency Canada, Perkins&Will, and C-Change Labs, who are focused on driving carbon reductions in the industry. This group of innovators was awarded a $460,000 grant from the Province of British Columbia’s 2021 CleanBC Building Innovation Fund to bolster development of this project.

The tallyCAT team aims to ignite widespread change in the building, design, and construction sectors. “We are co-developing tallyCAT with the aspiration of bringing low-carbon product selection into the design process, developing data-informed workflows that can become integral to every project,” said Jesce Walz, a designer and carbon leader at Perkins&Will. “Our team is focused on leveraging the power of open access tools and collaborative partnerships to improve our industry’s environmental impacts.”

Also in 2021, world-renowned architecture firm, KieranTimberlake, gifted Tally, the life cycle assessment (LCA) tool to Building Transparency for its continued management, hosting, and development. The tallyCAT design team is leveraging the capabilities of Tally LCA and EC3 to develop tallyCAT into a free and open-access next-generation climate action tool. The early-access beta version of tallyCAT is the initial socialization of a Revit-based carbon reduction tool that integrates with EC3 and is a significant milestone on the journey to make low-carbon product decisions earlier in the design lifecycle.

“We are grateful for the financial support from the Province of British Columbia through the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation and to KieranTimberlake for trusting our team with Tally LCA,” said Smedley. “These organizations have made the development of tallyCAT possible as we work to drive climate action in the built environment sector.”

Today, the Tally LCA tool and now, tallyCAT, support the direct export of material quantities from Revit to EC3, streamlining the process to evaluate project material conditions. Additionally, tallyCAT allows for synchronization between Revit and EC3, making it easier to identify carbon reduction opportunities within the Revit environment. Building Transparency, Perkins&Will and C-Change Labs hope to make tallyCAT a whole-life carbon tool and plans to release an updated version in 2023.

Ongoing Management of Tally LCA

At the same time, the nonprofit will continue to maintain Tally as an LCA tool. Moving forward, this tool will be referred to as tallyLCA, reflecting its ability to help measure multiple categories of environmental impact beyond embodied carbon and support users looking to inform sustainable design from a holistic perspective of ecosystem impact reduction. Building Transparency has also kicked off a project to create a free, open-access building material LCA dataset, which will enable tallyLCA to become the nonprofit’s third free tool offering upon its completion.

“We are thrilled to continue our support of Building Transparency’s ecosystem of open-access carbon-reduction tools,” said Billie Faircloth, Partner and Research Director of KieranTimberlake. “We look forward to transitioning tallyLCA into a free and open-access tool.”

tallyCAT beta Launch at Greenbuild

tallyCAT beta will be launched at and demoed throughout the Greenbuild Conference and Expo, taking place from November 1 – 3, 2022, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA. Attendees will be able to learn more about tallyCAT and other updates and initiatives from Building Transparency at Booth #1839. The team will lead demos and participate in panel discussions and sessions about embodied carbon, low-carbon procurement, and the need for material innovations within the built environment sector.

Attendees can learn more about the education sessions and other experiences at Greenbuild at: https://informaconnect.com/greenbuild/

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain information herein constitutes “forward-looking information” as defined under Canadian securities laws which reflect management’s expectations regarding objectives, plans, goals, strategies, future growth, results of operations, performance, business prospects and opportunities of the REIT. The words “plans,” “expects,” “does not expect,” “scheduled,” “estimates,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “does not anticipate,” “projects,” “believes,” or variations of such words and phrases or statements to the effect that certain actions, events or results “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “might,” “occur,” “be achieved,” or “continue” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations.

Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management as of the date hereof, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. 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 and should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not 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. Additional information about risks and uncertainties is contained in the filings of the REIT with securities regulators.
