CONTINUED STRONG OPERATING PEFORMANCE
Revenue from investment properties for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021 rose 11.0% and 13.7%, respectively, due primarily to acquisitions completed over the prior twelve months, higher occupancies and increased rents. Occupancy strengthened to 99.2% at December 31, 2021, up from 98.0% at December 31, 2020 with an average lease term of 5.4 years and 1.9% annual contractual rent steps.
Same property NOI1 rose 4.1% and 4.8% for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, respectively, due to higher overall rental rates on leasing activities and contractual steps in rent, as well as improved occupancy. In Ontario, Quebec and Alberta same property NOI1 for the year ended December 31, 2021 rose 6.5%, 3.4% and 3.4%, respectively, compared to the prior year. Same property NOI1 represented approximately 79.0% of total portfolio NOI1 and 80.2% of total GLA for the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively.
Net rental income for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021 increased 11.9% and 15.2%, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods due primarily to higher overall rental rates on leasing activities, acquisitions completed over the prior twelve months, in addition to $0.1 million and $1.1 million in recoveries of allowances for expected credit losses, respectively, resulting from successful rent collection.
For the three months ended December 31, 2021, FFO1 was $31.3 million ($0.178 per Unit) compared to $25.4 million ($0.159 per Unit) in the same prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2021, FFO1 was $100.0 million ($0.587 per Unit) compared to $94.4 million ($0.651 per Unit) last year. FFO1 and FFO per Unit1 for the year ended December 31, 2021 were impacted by non-recurring mortgage prepayment costs of $20.0 million related to the strategic early repayment of certain secured term mortgages. Excluding the mortgage prepayment costs, FFO1 was $120.1 million ($0.705 per Unit) for the year ended December 31, 2021. The REIT’s FFO payout ratio1 for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021 were 79.2% and 94.7%, respectively (60.3% and 73.8%, respectively, including the benefit of the REIT’s DRIP). Not including the one-time prepayment costs, the REIT’s payout ratio for 2021 was 78.9% (61.5% including the benefit of the REIT’s DRIP).
STRATEGIC LEASING PROGRAM
The REIT completed over 2.1 million square feet of lease renewals and new leases during 2021 with a strong retention rate of 74.3%, generating an average increase in monthly rents of 27.9% over the expiring rent with a significant 67.3% increase over expiring rents in Ontario and 29.5% in Quebec (excluding contractual renewals). The REIT also completed pre-leasing of over 590,000 square feet of buildings currently under construction, and future lease commitments on approximately 98,000 square feet representing 61.3% of vacancy at December 31, 2021.
STRONG BALANCE SHEET AND LIQUIDITY
Total assets increased to $4.5 billion at December 31, 2021, up from $3.2 billion at December 31, 2020 due primarily to property acquisitions during the period and fair value gains on investment properties. Total debt was $1.3 billion at December 31, 2021 compared to $1.2 billion at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2021, the REIT’s unsecured debt represented 72% of total debt outstanding and approximately $3.0 billion in unencumbered assets.
Since early 2020, the REIT has been strategically restructuring its debt profile from secured to unsecured debt to increase financing flexibility and its pool of unencumbered assets and to unlock potential liquidity on assets pledged as security on term mortgages with low loan-to-value.
The strategic financing initiatives included replacing the secured credit facility with a larger $300 million unsecured revolving credit facility in March 2020, issuing $925 million over four series of senior unsecured debentures at an average interest rate of 2.18%, implementing a Green Unsecured Development Credit Facility to fund ongoing development costs, and strategically repaying and/or prepaying certain secured fixed rate term mortgages.
These initiatives have resulted in significant interest cost savings through a reduction in the weighted average interest rate to 2.51% at December 31, 2021 from 3.72% at December 31, 2019. In addition, the strategic early repayments of secured term mortgages in 2021 have resulted in approximately $4.5 million of annual interest cost savings
In June 2021, the REIT established a $200 million ATM equity program to provide the REIT with additional financing flexibility.
On September 22, 2021, the REIT completed a bought deal equity offering of 6,060,500 Units at a price of $20.90 per Unit for gross proceeds of $126.7 million.
At December 31, 2021, the REIT’s debt leverage ratio1 was 28.5% compared to 37.4% at December 31, 2020. Debt service and interest coverage ratios1 were 2.9x and 4.1x, respectively, for 2021 compared to 2.1x and 3.2x, respectively, in 2020.
At December 31, 2021, the REIT’s liquidity position remained very strong at approximately $1.1 billion of available liquidity1 including cash, available borrowing capacity on its credit facilities, and potential for new financing that could be placed on a portion of its $3.0 billion of unencumbered assets.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
The REIT prepares and releases consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS (GAAP). In this release, the REIT discloses and discusses certain non-GAAP measures, including FFO, FFO per Unit, FFO payout ratio, NOI, same property NOI, leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio, debt service coverage ratio, debt-to-adjusted EBITDA and available liquidity. The non-GAAP measures are further defined and discussed in Appendix A | Non-GAAP Measures in the MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2021 and filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com), which is incorporated by reference and should be read in conjunction with this release. Since these measures are not determined by IFRS, such measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other issuers. The REIT has presented such non-GAAP measures as management believes the measures are a relevant measure of the ability of the REIT to earn and distribute cash returns to Unitholders and to evaluate the REIT’s performance. These non-GAAP measures should not be construed as alternatives to net income or cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the REIT’s performance.
