WINNIPEG, MB, Feb. 29, 2024 /CNW/ - Artis Real Estate Investment Trust ("Artis" or the "REIT") (TSX: AX.UN, AX.PR.E, AX.PR.I) today provided an update on the strategic review and announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023. The annual results in this press release should be read in conjunction with the REIT's consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the year ended December 31, 2023. All amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
"In the fourth quarter of 2023, Artis met a number of operational and strategic benchmarks, which demonstrate the underlying strength of our portfolio and signal to the market the quality of our real estate and our internal management platform," said Samir Manji, President and CEO of Artis. "Specifically, we achieved a 5.8% average increase in rental rates across 261,889 square feet of lease renewals that commenced during the three months ended December 31, 2023, while same property net operating income growth in the fourth quarter was 9.2% compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase reflects our ability to generate organic growth while highlighting the demand for the real estate in our portfolio. The significance of this demand is further emphasized by our strategic disposition activities. Since the announcement of the strategic review in August 2023, we have completed or entered into unconditional agreements for $473.6 million of property dispositions. This is a testament to the attractiveness of our real estate portfolio and strategic capacity to monetize assets to support our near-term goals: strengthen the balance sheet by reducing debt and enhance liquidity. In pursing additional dispositions, we will continue to do so with an owner's mentality. Ultimately, selling any asset at a significantly discounted price is contrary to the fundamental principle of value investing to "buy low and sell high". This will remain a key consideration for Artis moving forward. As we continue to monetize assets to pay down debt, our current distribution program remains unchanged. The Board and the Special Committee remain committed to exploring all strategic alternatives that may be available to unlock and maximize value for our owners."
UPDATE ON STRATEGIC REVIEW
On August 2, 2023, Artis's Board of Trustees (the "Board") established a Special Committee to initiate a strategic review process to consider and evaluate alternatives that may be available to the REIT to unlock and maximize value for unitholders. Since that time, Artis has entered into unconditional sale agreements or completed sales of nearly $500 million (in line with international financial reporting standards ("IFRS")) and will continue to remain focused on unlocking value, enhancing liquidity and maximizing net asset value ("NAV") per unit.
On September 11, 2023, the Board announced that the Special Committee retained BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. to provide financial advisory services to the REIT and Special Committee in connection with the strategic review process.
Over the past several months, the Special Committee and the Board have been working with the REIT's financial advisors to explore options available to unlock and maximize value for unitholders, including the potential sale of the REIT. In the current market, Artis and its advisors do not believe that there is a buyer prepared to acquire the REIT at a reasonable value relative to management's latest published NAV per unit of $13.96. There continues to be a healthy appetite in the private transaction environment for quality retail and industrial assets. There is also buyer interest for certain office assets, but office buyers in general are expecting bargain prices or vendor financing, neither of which are compatible with Artis's desire to generate financial liquidity from dispositions.
Since the announcement of the strategic review, Artis has completed or entered into unconditional agreements for $161.9 million of office sales at values and on terms that were acceptable to the REIT, and will continue to consider further office dispositions. In addition, Artis has completed or entered into unconditional sale agreements for $256.2 million of retail assets and $55.5 million of industrial assets. This equates to $473.6 million of asset sales (in line with the REIT's IFRS values reported at December 31, 2023), including unconditional transactions, since August 2, 2023. The REIT is continuing to evaluate opportunities relating to the sale of additional retail, office, and industrial assets, with a focus on the industrial portfolio, in its efforts to further deleverage and strengthen the balance sheet, grow NAV per unit, and enhance liquidity. A portion of this liquidity may be directed towards the normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") which was renewed on December 19, 2023.
The Board remains committed to pursuing strategic alternatives that may be available to the REIT to unlock and maximize value for unitholders, including pursuing near-term opportunities available to Artis to enhance and grow NAV per unit. The work undertaken over the past several months has enabled Artis to properly assess the current environment and options available to the REIT in an effort to create and maximize value for unitholders.
There can be no assurance that the strategic review process will result in the REIT pursuing any transaction. The REIT has not set a timetable for completion of this process and does not intend to disclose further developments unless it determines that disclosure is appropriate or necessary.

NOTICE WITH RESPECT TO NON-GAAP & SUPPLEMENTARY FINANCIAL MEASURES DISCLOSURE
In addition to reported IFRS measures, certain non-GAAP and supplementary financial measures are commonly used by Canadian real estate investment trusts as an indicator of financial performance. "GAAP" means the generally accepted accounting principles described by the CPA Canada Handbook - Accounting, which are applicable as at the date on which any calculation using GAAP is to be made. Artis applies IFRS, which is the section of GAAP applicable to publicly accountable enterprises.
Non-GAAP measures and ratios include Same Property Net Operating Income ("Same Property NOI"), Funds From Operations ("FFO"), Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO"), FFO per Unit AFFO per Unit, FFO Payout Ratio, AFFO Payout Ratio, NAV per Unit, Total Debt to GBV, Adjusted EBITDA Interest Coverage Ratio and Total Debt to Adjusted EBITDA.
Supplementary financial measures includes unencumbered assets to unsecured debt.
Management believes that these measures are helpful to investors because they are widely recognized measures of Artis's performance and provide a relevant basis for comparison among real estate entities.
These non-GAAP and supplementary financial measures are not defined under IFRS and are not intended to represent financial performance, financial position or cash flows for the period, nor should any of these measures be viewed as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS.
The above measures are not standardized financial measures under the financial reporting framework used to prepare the financial statements of Artis. Readers should be further cautioned that the above measures as calculated by Artis may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Refer to the Notice With Respect to Non-GAAP & Supplementary Financial Measures Disclosure of Artis's 2023 Annual MD&A, which is incorporated by reference herein, for further information (available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca or Artis's website at www.artisreit.com).
