MONTRÉAL, Nov. 7, 2022
/CNW/ - BTB Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX: BTB.UN)
("BTB" or the "REIT") releases today its financial
results for the third quarter of the year 2022 and announces the
following highlights and information.
BTB's recent acquisitions, particularly in the industrial
asset class, are contributing to the positive results presented for
the third quarter of 2022. Important to note the 32.4% improvement
of the NOI compared to the same period in 2021, the increase of
5.3% of the same-property NOI compared to the third quarter of 2021
and the growth of 8.8% of the average lease renewal rate for this
quarter.
For yet another quarter, BTB is presenting robust results:
- Net Operating Income (NOI): Stood at $18.0 million for the current quarter, which
represents an increase of 32.4% compared to the same quarter of
2021. For the cumulative nine-month period, the total NOI was
$51.8 million, which represents an
increase of 24.7% compared to the same period in 2021.
- Recurring FFO (1): Was 11.5¢ per unit
for the quarter (33.6¢ per unit for the 2022 cumulative nine-month
period) compared to 9.5¢ per unit for the same period in 2021
(31.1¢ per unit for the 2021 cumulative nine-month period).
Excluding the retrospective $2.3
million of additional recoveries during the same period in
2021, the recurring FFO per unit would have increased by 20.8% for
the cumulative nine-month period compared to the same period in
2021.
- Recurring AFFO (1): Was 10.2¢ per unit
for the quarter (30.9¢ per unit for the 2022 cumulative nine-month
period) compared to 8.7¢ per unit for the same period in 2021
(29.2¢ per unit for the 2021 cumulative nine-month period).
Excluding the retrospective $2.3
million of additional recoveries during the same period in
2021, the recurring AFFO per unit would have increased by 19.2% for
the cumulative nine-month period compared to the same period in
2021.
- Recurring FFO payout ratio (1): Was 65.2% for
the quarter (66.9% for the 2022 cumulative nine-month period)
compared to 79.0% for the same period in 2021 (72.4% for
the 2021 cumulative nine-month period).
- Recurring AFFO payout ratio (1): Was
73.6% for the quarter (72.8% for the 2022 cumulative nine-month
period) compared to 85.9% for the same period in 2021
(77.1% for the 2021 cumulative nine-month period.
- Same-property NOI (1): Increased by 5.3% for
the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021
mainly due to a combination of important leasing efforts made
during the previous quarters resulting in an increase in the
occupancy rate compared to the same quarter last year and the
increase in the average lease renewal rates
- Leasing Activity: BTB experienced strong leasing
activity during the quarter. At the end of Q3 2022, the occupancy
rate was 93.5%.

i.
|
Tenant
Retention: Leases representing 96,548 square feet were
renewed during this quarter for a total of 351,158 square feet for
the cumulative nine-month period. Since the beginning of the year,
BTB achieved a cumulative average increase of 13.9% in lease
renewal rates across all its business segments.

ii.
|
New leases
concluded: 57,353 square feet were leased to new tenants.
During the quarter, 30,297 square feet or 52.9% were concluded with
industrial tenants, 16,594 square feet or 28.9% were concluded with
off-downtown core office tenants and 10,462 square feet or 18.2% of
the new leases were concluded in the necessity-based retail
segment.
|
- Acquisition: On September 8,
2022, BTB acquired a fully leased 72,088 square foot
industrial property located at 8743 50 Avenue NW in Edmonton, Alberta, for a total consideration
of $15.8 million, excluding
transaction costs and adjustments. The acquisition of this
high-quality asset continues to add to the REIT's growing
industrial portfolio across Canada.
- Disposition: On September 19,
2022, BTB disposed of an office property located at
5878-5882 Sherbrooke Street East in Montréal, Québec, for total
proceeds of $4.4 million, excluding
transaction costs and adjustments. This is in line with the REIT's
plan to further concentrate its' weighting in the industrial asset
class.
- Rental revenue: Stood at $30.0
million for the current quarter, which represents an
increase of 24.9% compared to the same period in 2021. For the
cumulative nine-month period, the rental revenue totalled
$88.0 million, which represents an
increase of 19.7% compared to the same period in 2021.
- Net income and comprehensive income: Totalled
$11.7 million for the quarter
compared to $8.7 million for the same
period in 2021, representing an increase of $3.0 million that is attributed to the NOI
generated by the recent accretive acquisitions and a net adjustment
to the fair value of investment properties.
- Debt metrics: BTB concluded the quarter with a total
debt ratio (1) of 58.6%, recording an improvement
of 1.9% compared to December 31,
2021.
- Liquidity position: BTB held $10.4 million of cash at the end of the quarter
and $14.0 million is available under
its credit facilities (1)(2). BTB has the option
to increase the capacity under the credit facilities to
$46.1 million.

A MESSAGE FROM MICHEL LÉONARD,
PRESIDENT, AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
The cost of financing real estate properties is going up, and
the market is facing head winds. The rise of interest rates impacts
all REITs but not all equally. BTB is in an enviable position where
only $54M of mortgages are maturing
in 2023, or 9% of its total mortgage debt. BTB, over the last three
years refinanced, on a long-term basis, 58% of its balance
mortgages resulting in lower rates for our in-place debt. The
average term maturity of our mortgage debt is 4.4 years. The
short-term impact of rising interest rates will be less felt by BTB
and may not be material. With available cash and the capacity of
our line of credit, BTB remains well positioned for future
acquisitions
In addition, as of the third quarter, BTB proactively reassessed
the market values of part of its portfolio to take into account the
macroeconomic climate we are currently experiencing. As of
September 30, 2022, the Fund had 64%
of its portfolio appraised by recognized external appraisers,
representing a total value of $754.8
million. Overall, the experts recommended a 25 basis point
upward adjustment to cap rates for our office and retail assets.
The impact of these valuations on FMVs was offset by the good
performance of the industrial portfolio, mainly that in
Western Canada acquired in
December 2021. The rest of the
portfolio was also part of an internal review taking into account
observations of our external appraisers. As such, we recognized a
net reduction in the market value of our assets of $1.2 million representing a relatively immaterial
adjustment across the portfolio. The resilience of BTB's portfolio
is further demonstrated.

APPENDIX 1: RECONCILIATION OF NON-IFRS MEASURES
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
Certain terms used in this press release are listed and defined
in the table hereafter, including any per unit information if
applicable, are not measures recognized by International Financial
Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and do not have standardized meanings
prescribed by IFRS. Such measures may differ from similar
computations as reported by similar entities and, accordingly, may
not be comparable to similar measures. Explanations on how these
non-IFRS financial measures provide useful information to investors
and additional purposes, if any, for which the Trust uses these
non-IFRS financial measures, are also included in the table
hereafter.
Securities regulations require that non-IFRS financial measures
be clearly defined and that they not be assigned greater weight
than IFRS measures. The referred non-IFRS financial measures, which
are reconciled to the most similar IFRS measure in the table
thereafter if applicable, do not have a standardized meaning
prescribed by IFRS and these measures cannot be compared to similar
measures used by other issuers.
NON-IFRS
MEASURES
|
DEFINITION
|
SAME-PROPERTY
NOI
|
Same-property NOI is a
non-IFRS financial measure defined as net operating income ("NOI")
for the properties that the Trust owned and operated for the entire
duration of both the current year and the previous year. The most
directly comparable IFRS measure to same-property NOI is Operating
Income.
|
|
|
FUNDS FROM
OPERATIONS (FFO) &
RECURRING FFO
|
FFO is a non-IFRS
financial measure used by most Canadian real estate investment
trusts based on a standardized definition established by REALPAC in
its January 2022 White Paper ("White Paper"). FFO is defined as net
income and comprehensive income less certain adjustments, on a
proportionate basis, including (i) fair value adjustments on
investment properties, class B LP units and derivative financial
instruments; (ii) amortization of lease incentives; (iii)
incremental leasing costs; and (iv) distribution on class B LP
units. FFO is reconciled to net income and comprehensive income,
which is the most directly comparable IFRS measure. FFO is also
reconciled with the cash flows from operating activities, which is
an IFRS measure.
Recurring FFO is also a
non-IFRS financial measure that starts with FFO and removes the
impact of non-recurring items such as transaction cost on
acquisitions and dispositions of investment properties and early
repayment fees.
The Trust believes FFO
and recurring FFO are key measures of operating performance and
allow the investors to compare its historical
performance.
|
ADJUSTED FUNDS FROM
OPERATIONS (AFFO) & RECURRING AFFO
|
AFFO is a non-IFRS financial measure used by most Canadian real
estate investment trusts based on a standardized definition
established by REALPAC in its January 2022 White Paper ("White
Paper"). AFFO is defined as FFO less: (i) straight-line rental
revenue adjustment; (ii) accretion of effective interest; (iii)
amortization of other property and equipment; (iv) unit-based
compensation expenses; (v) provision for non-recoverable capital
expenditures; and (vi) provision for unrecovered rental fees
(related to regular leasing expenditures). AFFO is reconciled to
net income and comprehensive income, which is the most directly
comparable IFRS measure. AFFO is also reconciled with the cash
flows from operating activities, which is an IFRS
measure.
Recurring AFFO is also
a non-IFRS financial measure that starts with AFFO and removes the
impact of non-recurring items such as transaction costs on
acquisitions and dispositions of investment properties and early
repayment fees.
The Trust considers
AFFO and recurring AFFO to be useful measures of recurring economic
earnings and relevant in understanding its ability to service its
debt, fund capital expenditures, and provide distributions to
unitholders.
|
FFO & AFFO
PAYOUT RATIOS AND RECURRING FFO & RECURRING AFFO PAYOUT
RATIOS
|
FFO and AFFO payout
ratios and recurring FFO and recurring AFFO payout ratios are
non-IFRS financial measures. These payout ratios are calculated by
dividing the actual distributions per unit by FFO, AFFO, and
recurring FFO and recurring AFFO per unit in each
period.
The Trust considers
these metrics a useful way to evaluate its distribution paying
capacity.
|
TOTAL DEBT
RATIO
|
The total debt ratio is
a non-IFRS financial measure of the Trust's financial leverage,
which is calculated by taking the total long-term debt less cash
divided by the total gross value of the assets of the Trust less
cash.
The Trust considers
this metric useful as it indicates its ability to meet its debt
obligations and its capacity for future additional
acquisitions.
|
|
|
PROVISION FOR
NON-RECOVERABLE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
|
In calculating AFFO,
the Trust deducts a provision for non-recoverable capital
expenditures to consider capital expenditures invested to
maintain the condition of its
properties and to preserve rental revenue.
The provision for
non-recoverable capital expenditures is calculated based on 2% of
rental revenues. This provision is based on management's assessment
of industry practices and its investment forecasts for the coming
years.
|
PROVISION FOR
UNRECOVERED RENTAL FEES
|
The Trust also deducts
a provision for unrecovered rental fees in the amount of
approximately 25¢ per sq. ft. on an annualized basis. Even though
quarterly rental fee disbursements vary significantly from one
quarter to another, management considers that this provision fairly
presents, in the long term, the average disbursements not recovered
directly in establishing the rent that the Trust will undertake.
These disbursements consist of inducements paid or granted when
leases are signed that are generally amortized over the term of the
lease and are subject to an equivalent increase in rent per square
foot, and of brokerage commissions and leasing payroll
expenses.
|
TOTAL LONG-TERM DEBT
LESS CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
|
This is a non-IFRS
financial measure. Long-term debt less cash and cash equivalent is
a non-IFRS financial measure, calculated as the total of (i)
fixed-rate mortgage loans payable; (ii) floating rate mortgage
loans payable; (iii) Series G debenture capital amount; (iv) Series
F debenture capital adjusted with non-derivative component fewer
conversion options exercised by holders; and (v) credit facilities,
less cash, and cash equivalents. The most directly comparable IFRS
measure to net debt is debt.
|
TOTAL GROSS VALUE OF
THE ASSETS OF THE TRUST LESS CASH AND CASH
EQUIVALENT
|
This is a non-IFRS
financial measure. Gross value of the assets of the Trust less cash
and cash equivalent ("GVALC") is a non-IFRS financial measure
defined as the Trust's total assets adding the cumulated
amortization property and equipment and removing the cash and cash
equivalent. The most directly comparable IFRS measure to GVALC is
total assets.
|
ADJUSTED EARNINGS
BEFORE INTEREST, TAXES, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION ("ADJUSTED
BAIA")
|
Adjusted EBITDA income
is a non-IFRS financial measure that starts with net income and
comprehensive income and removes the effects of certain
adjustments, on a proportionate basis, including: (i) interest
expense; (ii) taxes; (iii) depreciation of property and equipment;
(iv) amortization of intangible assets; (v) fair value adjustments
(including investment properties, financial instruments, Class B LP
units and unit price remeasurement for unit-based compensation);
(vi) transaction costs on acquisitions and dispositions of
investment properties and early repayment fees; and (vii)
straight-line rental revenue adjustment.
The most directly
comparable IFRS measure to Adjusted EBITDA is net income and
comprehensive income. The Trust believes Adjusted EBITDA is a
useful metric to determine its ability to service its debt, finance
capital expenditures and provide distributions to its
Unitholders.
