TORONTO, March 31, 2023 /CNW/ - Northwest Healthcare Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (the "REIT") (TSX: NWH.UN), today provides an update on its UK joint venture ("UK JV") initiative and announces results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022.

Further to the UK JV announcement in Q3 2022, Northwest has secured a commitment with an institutional investor (the "UK Investor") for a larger investment in the REIT's UK Portfolio. The investment in the UK seed portfolio is expected to be 70% to 80% of the net equity value of the portfolio, allowing the REIT to accelerate its deleveraging strategy and pursue strategic growth. The commitment is subject to confirmatory due diligence, final documentation and typical closing conditions and is expected to close in Q2 2023.

Operationally, the REIT's high quality and defensive portfolio delivered strong results including 2.9% same property NOI ("SPNOI")1 on year over year basis in Q4 2022. The REIT's portfolio occupancy of 97% is underpinned by a weighted average lease expiry of 14 years and 83% of leases subject to rent indexation. With a portfolio comprising more than 2,100 tenants the REIT is highly diversified and its hospital tenants are performing well averaging 2.3x EBITDAR coverage2.

In 2022, revenue and NOI both increased by 20%. However, as a result of higher interest rates, temporarily elevated leverage, and lower transaction volume within the REIT's fee bearing capital platforms, per unit AFFO1 declined to $0.73 (-16.1%).  Subsequent to year-end, the REIT entered into hedging arrangements to fix interest rates on $892 million of floating rate, foreign currency debt facilities which will immediately stabilize results and increase annualized AFFO by $0.05 per Unit.

Additionally, the REIT has actioned several accretive initiatives to improve per unit results, including $220 million of non-core asset sales and its US JV initiative, which when combined with the UK JV are expected to generate between $425 million and $500 million of net proceeds in 2023.

Considering the in-place hedges and incremental initiatives underway, the REIT anticipates AFFO per Unit increasing by approximately 10% on an annualized basis over the course of 2023.

______________________________

1 These are not measures recognized under IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. Further, the REIT's definitions of FFO and AFFO differ from those used by other similar real estate investment trusts, as well from the definitions recommended by REALpac. See "Non-IFRS Financial Measures", Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2.

Balance Sheet Initiatives:

As at December 31, 2022, the REIT reports Debt to Gross Book Value (including Convertible Debentures) of 48.5% and 56.1% on a consolidated and proportionate basis, respectively. As highlighted above the REIT has identified approximately $220 million of directly held non-core asset sales in addition to its commitment to closing the UK JV in Q2 2023, and the US JV in H2 2023. Upon completion of these transactions and associated debt repayment the REIT anticipates consolidated and proportionate Debt to Gross Book Value to decrease to 35.5% (–1,300 bp) and 44.5% (-1,160 bp), respectively.

In Q4 2022 and post quarter end, the REIT refinanced $1.7 billion of expiring debt to extend term and increase fixed rate exposure. The REIT has now refinanced 67% of its 2023 debt maturities and increased its exposure to fixed rate debt (including in-place hedges) to 63% while also reducing its weighted average interest rate to 4.7% and increasing its weighted average term to maturity to 3.1 years.

Funds Management:

During the year, capital commitments increased by $2.2 billion to $11.5 billion and deployed capital grew by 11% from $5.5 billion to $6.1 billion. Additionally, Northwest has secured a commitment with a UK Investor for a 70% to 80% investment in the UK seed portfolio which is expected to close in Q2 2023.

The REIT's US joint venture initiative continues to progress, and the REIT remains actively engaged with qualified partners and is working towards commercial terms. As a result of macroeconomic uncertainty completion is now expected in the second half of 2023.

At a target ownership level of between 20% and 30% across its capital platforms the REIT anticipates generating an increased level of growth in both AFFO and NAV on a per unit basis as a result of leveraging its capital light model and internally generated capital to fund growth.

Growth and Capital Recycling:

In 2022, the REIT completed over $1.1 billion of acquisitions, highlighted by the REIT's entry into the United States which continues to perform in line with expectations.

At the end of 2022, the REIT completed a full review of its income producing property portfolio and identified properties valued at approximately $220 million that it considers non-core across its three geographic segments. Sales processes are already underway for select assets and marketing will begin for the balance in Q2 2023. Net proceeds from asset sales will be allocated to repaying high-cost corporate debt on an accretive basis.

The REIT remains constructive on the long-term demand factors that drive value creation in healthcare real estate and with $4.5 billion of available fee bearing capital its is well positioned to execute on new investment opportunities while remaining disciplined in its capital allocation strategies.

2022 Fourth Quarter Financial and Operational Highlights:

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, the REIT delivered strong operational performance with an increasingly conservative balance sheet across an expanded 233 property, 18.6 million square foot defensive acute healthcare real estate portfolio underpinned by long-term inflation indexed leases. Key highlights are as follows:

  • Q4 2022 revenue of $118.5M up 23.0% YOY;
  • Q4 2022 AFFO of $0.17 per unit (see Exhibit 2);
  • 2022 AFFO of $0.73 per unit (see Exhibit 2);
  • Q4 2022 Same Property NOI increased by 2.9% on a year over year basis, driven primarily by annual rent indexation (see Exhibit 3);
  • Strong portfolio occupancy of 97% consistent with last quarter with the international portfolio holding stable at 98.3%;
  • Weighted average lease expiry of 14 years is underpinned by the international portfolio's Hospital and Health Care Facility Assets' weighted average lease expiry of 18.2 years;
  • Total assets under management ("AUM") increased 18.5% year over year to $10.9 billion;
  • Total capital deployed in fee bearing vehicles is $6.1 billion up 10.9% year over year. Available capacity in existing fee bearing vehicles totals $4.5 billion;
  • Net asset value ("NAV") per unit decreased by 4.6% year over year to $13.80 (see Exhibit 4);
  • Consolidated Debt to Gross Book Value Including Convertible Debentures of 48.5% has increased 660 bp year over year and is expected to decrease to 35.5% (-1,300bp) as the REIT completes its UK and US JVs as well as its non-core asset sales.

Financial Exhibits

Exhibit 1 – Funds From Operations Reconciliation

The REIT calculates FFO based on certain adjustments to net income (computed in accordance with IFRS) as detailed below. The REIT makes adjustments for cost incur with respect to exploring new growth opportunities, establishing joint arrangements, building relationships with healthcare operators and institutional investors, which in management view are not reflective of earnings from core operations or impact the REIT's ability in the long-run to make distributions to Unitholders given their discretionary and strategic nature. In addition, beginning in the quarter ended December 31, 2022, FFO is being adjusted for net losses incurred with respect to an investment in unlisted securities and certain G&A expenses that, in each case, management views as not reflective of recurring earnings from core operations (collectively, the "Other FFO Adjustments"). REALpac has established a standardized definition of FFO in a White Paper dated January 2022 ("REALpac Guidance"). The REIT's FFO definition differs from the REALpac Guidance in that, when calculating FFO, the REIT (a) excludes the revaluation of financial liabilities, convertible debenture issuance costs and all transaction costs, and (b) makes the Other FFO Adjustments. The REIT's method of calculating FFO also differs from other issuers' methods and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers.

Notes

(1)

Other FFO adjustments include items that, in management's view, are not reflective of recurring earnings from core operations. For the year ended December
31, 2022, other FFO adjustments included (a) $7.5 million financing costs incurred with respect to an investment in unlisted securities, (b) $0.6 million of technology
related G&A adjustment incurred by the REIT's European joint venture, (c) $1.2 million of corporate G&A expenses related to the establishment of a philanthropic
platform and (d) $8.2 million of corporate financing costs related to short-term financing arrangement to fund property acquisition activity that are not reflective of
long-term capital allocation

(2)

FFO is not a measure recognized under IFRS and does not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS.  See Performance Measurements section in
the REIT's MD&A.

(3)

Under IFRS the REIT's Class B LP Units are treated as a financial liability rather than equity. The REIT has chosen to present an adjusted basic and diluted per
unit measure that includes the Class B LP Units in basic and diluted units outstanding/weighted average units outstanding. There were 1,710,000 Class B  LP
Units outstanding as at December 31, 2022 and 1,710,000 outstanding as at December 31, 2021.

(4)

Diluted units includes vested but unissued deferred trust units and the conversion of the REIT's Convertible Debentures that would have a dilutive effect upon
conversion at the holders' contractual conversion price. Convertible Debentures are dilutive if the interest (net of tax and other changes in income or expense)
per unit obtainable on conversion is less than the basic per unit measure.


Exhibit 2 – Adjusted Funds From Operations Reconciliation

AFFO is a supplemental non-IFRS financial measure of a REIT's operating performance and is intended to reflect a stabilized business environment. The REIT makes certain adjustments as detailed below in calculating its FFO and AFFO, which in management view are not reflective of earnings from core operations or impact the REIT's ability in the long-run to make distributions to Unitholders given their discretionary and strategic nature. The REIT's AFFO definition differs from the REALpac Guidance in that, when calculating AFFO, the REIT does not make an adjustment to AFFO for amortization financing charges. The REIT's method of calculating AFFO also differs from other issuers' methods and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers.

Notes

 











(1)

FFO and AFFO are not measures recognized under IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. See Performance
Measurement
section in the REIT's MD&A.

(2)

Under IFRS the REIT's Class B LP Units are treated as a financial liability rather than equity. The REIT has chosen to present an adjusted
basic and diluted per unit measure that includes the Class B LP Units in basic and diluted units outstanding/weighted average units
outstanding. There were 1,710,000 Class B  LP Units outstanding as at December 31, 2022 and 1,710,000 outstanding as at December 31,
2021.

(3)

Distributions per units is a non-IFRS ratio calculated as sum of the distributions on the REIT's units and finance costs on Class B LP Units.
Management does not consider finance costs on Class B LP units to be an financing cost of the REIT but rather component of the REIT's
total distributions. Distributions is not defined by IFRS and does not have a standard meaning and may not be comparable with similar
measures presented by other issuers.


Exhibit 3 – Constant Currency Same Property NOI

Constant Currency Same Property NOI, sometimes also presented as "Same Property NOI" or "SPNOI", is a non-IFRS financial measure, defined as NOI for investment properties that were owned for a full reporting period in both the current and comparative year, subject to certain adjustments including: (i) straight-line rental revenue recognition; (ii) amortization of operating leases; (iii) lease termination fees; and (iv) non-recurring transactions that are not expected to recur (v) excluding properties held for redevelopment and (vi) excluding impact of foreign currency translation by converting the foreign currency denominated SPNOI from comparative period at current period average exchange rates. Management considers. SPNOI is more fully defined and discussed in the REIT's MD&A (see "Performance Measurement").
