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 six months ended June 30, 2022 (“second quarter”).

“We are pleased with our progress in creating further stability for our portfolio over the first half of the year,” said Michael Cooper, Portfolio Manager. “With the current economic climate, securing one of the few public offerings in 2022 and continuing to expand our multi-family platform demonstrates our ability to execute on a transactional level and successfully navigate challenging markets. With half of the portfolio invested in recurring income, we continue to focus on making the company safer and sustainable for the long term and are well positioned for adapting to changes in the real estate environment.”

Since January 1, 2021, the Trust has acquired $244.0 million of income properties and completed $103.0 million in development assets for a total of $347.0 million added to our recurring income portfolio. Aside from $108.0 million in commercial properties which are primarily at Zibi, the balance is exclusively best-in-class residential rental properties.

In the second quarter, the Trust closed on a $40.0 million convertible impact debenture offering (the “Offering”). The Offering bears a 5.75% coupon and an $8.00 per unit conversion price, maturing on December 31, 2027. This is the Trust’s second convertible impact debenture offering, for which proceeds will be used for eligible impact investments in accordance with the Trust’s Impact Financing Framework.

Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the Trust acquired a 50% interest in 70 Park, a 210-unit multi-family rental building located next to the Port Credit GO station, and in close proximity to our Brightwater development. The site includes land adjacent to the rental building which is slated for redevelopment and was acquired for net proceeds of $19.6 million (inclusive of deposits), or $381,000 on a per door basis. The building was 99% occupied upon closing of the transaction. Inclusive of 70 Park, in 2022 the Trust has invested $23.9 million to further grow our recurring income segment, adding an additional 290 multi-family rental units. As of June 30, 2022, nearly 50% of the Trust’s portfolio was invested in assets that generate recurring income.

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

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
		2022		2021		2022		2021
Condensed consolidated results of operations
Net income (loss)	$	623	$	(1,451)	$	972	$	(7,663)
Net income (loss) per unit(1)		0.01		(0.02)		0.01		(0.12)
Distributions declared and paid per unit		0.10		0.10		0.20		0.20
Units outstanding – end of period		65,673,190		64,935,685		65,673,190		64,935,685
Units outstanding – weighted average		65,636,263		64,780,095		65,461,638		64,868,057

During the second quarter, the Trust reported net income of $0.6 million compared to a net loss of $1.5 million in the comparative period. The improvement in earnings was driven by the composition of fair value changes on income properties and financial and equity instruments across our segments, the impact of foreign exchange on our investment in the Virgin Hotels Las Vegas (“U.S. hotel”), and growth in our recurring income segment. This was partially offset by higher interest expense and marketing costs associated with the launch of Forma Condos, as further discussed in our segmented discussion below.

As at June 30, 2022, the Trust had $31.2 million of cash-on-hand, which included unused proceeds from the Trust’s convertible debenture issuance. Subsequent to quarter-end, $18.5 million was deployed for the acquisition of 70 Park. The Trust’s debt-to-asset value⁽¹⁾ as at June 30, 2022 was 25.7%, an increase relative to 20.4% as of March 31, 2022, primarily due to draws on the credit facility, net of certain project-level financing in the period. 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 57.4% as at June 30, 2022, compared to 54.5% as at March 31, 2022. This includes long-term high ratio government debt provided as part of creating affordable housing within our communities. As at June 30, 2022, the Trust had drawn $15.2 million on its $50.0 million credit facility.

Subsequent to quarter-end, the Trust refinanced an existing mortgage payable, upsizing the facility from $60 million to $65 million, at the Trust’s share, extending the maturity date to 2027. At the time of closing, the Trust hedged half of the balance at a fixed interest rate of 4.91% per annum. Inclusive of the refinancing, approximately 75% of the Trust’s consolidated debt was subject to a fixed interest rate.

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

During the second quarter, the Trust’s recurring income segment generated net income of $2.3 million compared to $0.5 million in the comparative period. The increase relative to prior year was due to income contribution from the completion of commercial blocks at Zibi in the past year. In addition, the Trust recognized a provision on a loan within the lending portfolio in the prior year with no similar adjustment in the current period.

In the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Trust acquired a 50% interest in 111 Cosburn, a 23-unit multi-family rental building located in Toronto’s East York neighbourhood, positioned close to the planned Ontario Subway Line. The multi-family building was acquired for $8.2 million ($4.1 million at the Trust’s share).

Based on the Trust’s current development pipeline, we have an additional 2,819 residential units and 153,000 square feet (“sf”) of commercial and retail (at 100%) with an estimated value on completion of $496.6 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 six months ended June 30, 2022.

Development

In the second quarter, the development segment generated net income of $0.5 million, compared to a net loss of $0.6 million in the comparative period. The improvement relative to prior year was driven by the net impact of foreign exchange on the U.S. hotel, partially offset by sales and marketing expenses at Forma Condos and fair value adjustments on income properties under development in the prior year.

In the second quarter, sales for the East tower at Forma Condos launched. To date, approximately half the units have been sold for the tower, designed by renowned Canadian architect Frank Gehry and located in the heart of downtown Toronto in the entertainment district. The development will feature two towers at 84 and 73 storeys, comprising over 2,000 units. The buildings will include unique views, luxurious finishes and elevated lifestyle amenities including entertainment, co-working and wellness spaces. The East tower is expected to be ready for occupancy in 2028. The Trust has a 25% interest in the development.

In addition, Bridge House, the next condominium building at Brightwater was brought to market. Bridge House is comprised of 468 units, of which nearly half are available for sale with an expected construction start date of 2023. Brightwater is a 72-acre waterfront community located in Port Credit which once completed will have nearly 3,000 residential units and over 350,000 sf of vibrant retail and commercial space, and will include 18 acres of parks and outdoor space. The Trust has a 23.25% interest in the development.

Other⁽²⁾

In the second quarter, the Other segment generated a net loss of $2.2 million compared to $1.4 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by interest expense on the Trust’s convertible debentures and credit facility.

Unit Buyback Activity

From the inception of the Trust’s unit buyback program in December 2014 to August 2, 2022, the Trust has repurchased 15.4 million units for cancellation, for a total cost of $96.0 million.

As at August 2, 2022, the Trust’s asset manager, DAM, owns 19.3 million units of the Trust, inclusive of 1.3 million units acquired under the Trust’s previous distribution reinvestment plan, 4.2 million units acquired in satisfaction of the asset management fees and the remainder acquired on the open market for DAM’s own account. In aggregate, DAM owns approximately 29% of the Trust as at August 2, 2022.

Cash Generated from Operating Activities

Cash utilized in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $2.0 million compared to $0.1 million in the prior year, an increase due to acquisition pipeline deposits and changes in non-cash working capital.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”)

Effective with the August 2022 distribution payable on September 15, 2022 to unitholders of record as at August 31, 2022, the Trust’s DRIP will be reinstated, allowing unitholders to reinvest their distributions into new units of the Trust, with no bonus distribution and no commissions. Eligible unitholders that had not previously opted into the DRIP but now wish to do so may elect to participate by contacting their broker, investment dealer or financial institution holding their units.
