WINNIPEG, Aug. 3, 2017 /CNW/ - Today Artis Real Estate Investment Trust ("Artis" or the "REIT") issued its financial results and achievements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.  All amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars and are inclusive of Artis' ownership in investments in joint ventures on a Proportionate Share basis, unless otherwise noted.

"Since the beginning of 2015, Artis has diversified its portfolio by reducing its NOI weighting in Alberta from 39% to 26% and its Calgary office weighting from 18% to 11%, and by selling properties at prices that equate to a NAV of $15 per unit," said Armin Martens, President and Chief Executive Officer of Artis. "Artis' management continues to manage its portfolio in a patient and disciplined manner, so as to maximize unitholder value."

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Entered into a new unsecured non-revolving term credit facility in the amount of $150.0 million which can be utilized for general corporate and working capital purposes, property acquisitions and development financing. The facility was fully drawn on July 6, 2017 and matures on July 6, 2022. An interest rate swap was placed on top of the facility subsequent to quarter end to effectively lock the interest rate at 3.57%.

  • Reduced total Alberta NOI from 39.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 to 25.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, and reduced the Calgary office NOI from 19.1% to 11.1%, respectively.

  • Disposed of one unencumbered retail property in Edson, Alberta for a sale price of $7.0 million. Entered into unconditional sale agreements for a retail and an industrial property in Alberta for $47.5 million, and a small industrial property in Ontario for $5.4 million.

  • Stabilized Same Property NOI in Canadian dollars increased 2.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. Same Property NOI for the total portfolio in Canadian dollars, including the Calgary office segment, properties planned for disposition and re-purposing, increased 0.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

  • Achieved an increase of 7.4%, excluding the Calgary office segment, in the weighted-average rental rate on renewals that commenced during the quarter ended June 30, 2017, and an increase of 0.8% including the Calgary office segment.

  • Improved the interest coverage ratio to 3.11 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared to 2.92 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

  • Improved the EBITDA interest coverage ratio to 3.30 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared to 3.05 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

  • Decreased total long-term debt and credit facilities to GBV to 50.4% at June 30, 2017, compared to 51.0% at December 31, 2016.

  • Decreased secured mortgages and loans to GBV to 38.9% at June 30, 2017, compared to 40.6% at December 31, 2016.

  • Reported FFO per unit of $0.36 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared to $0.38 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily attributed to property dispositions, partially offset by the impact of debt reduction.

  • Decreased the unhedged variable rate mortgage debt to total debt to 17.9% at June 30, 2017, compared to 19.0% at December 31, 2016.

Artis is a diversified Canadian real estate investment trust investing in office, retail and industrial properties.  Since 2004, Artis has executed an aggressive but disciplined growth strategy, building a portfolio of commercial properties in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and select markets in the United States.  As of June 30, 2017, Artis' commercial property comprises approximately 25.9 million square feet of leasable area.

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, Property Net Operating Income ("Property NOI") by asset class, was approximately 56.6% office, 20.0% retail and 23.4% industrial.  Property NOI by geographical region, was approximately 3.9% in British Columbia, 25.6% in Alberta, 6.5% in Saskatchewan, 13.3% in Manitoba, 10.9% in Ontario, 8.3% in Arizona, 17.7% in Minnesota, 9.4% in Wisconsin and 4.4% in U.S. - Other.

NOTICE WITH RESPECT TO NON-GAAP MEASURES

The following measures are non-GAAP measures 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. As a publicly accountable enterprise, Artis applies the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").  These non-GAAP measures are not defined under IFRS and are not intended to represent operating profits for the period, or from a property, nor should any of these measures be viewed as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operating activities or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS.  Readers should be further cautioned that the following measures as calculated by Artis may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Property Net Operating Income

Artis calculates Property NOI as revenues less property operating expenses such as utilities, repairs and maintenance and realty taxes.  Property NOI does not include charges for interest or other expenses not specific to the day-to-day operation of the REIT's properties.  Management considers Property NOI to be a valuable measure for evaluating the operating performance of the REIT's properties.

Same Property NOI

Artis calculates Same Property NOI by including Property NOI for investment properties that were owned for a full quarterly reporting period in both the current and comparative year, and excludes properties held for (re)development.  Adjustments are made to this measure to exclude non-cash revenue items and other non-recurring revenue amounts such as lease termination income.  Management considers Same Property NOI to be a valuable measure for evaluating the operating performance of the REIT's properties.

Funds from Operations ("FFO")

Artis calculates FFO substantially in accordance with the guidelines set out by the Real Property Association of Canada ("REALpac"), as issued in February 2017.  These guidelines include certain adjustments to FFO under IFRS from the previous definition of FFO, as issued in April 2014.  These adjustments did not materially impact the REIT's calculation of FFO and have been applied consistently to comparative periods.  Management considers FFO to be a valuable measure for evaluating the REIT's operating performance in achieving its objectives.

Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO")

Artis calculates AFFO substantially in accordance with new guidelines set out by REALpac, as issued in February 2017.  Q1-17 was the first quarter the REIT presented AFFO in accordance with these guidelines.  AFFO has been revised to comply with these guidelines for the comparative periods in 2016.  Management considers AFFO to be a valuable measure for evaluating the REIT's operating performance in achieving its objectives.

Proportionate Share

Artis accounts for its joint ventures using the equity method in its consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS.  Amounts presented on a Proportionate Share basis include Artis' interest in properties held in its joint ventures based on its percentage of ownership in these properties in addition to the amounts per its consolidated financial statements.  Management considers Proportionate Share to be representative of how Artis manages its properties.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") Interest Coverage Ratio

Artis calculates EBITDA as Property NOI, adjusted for interest income, corporate expenses and all non-cash revenue and expense items.  Management considers this ratio to be a valuable measure of Artis' ability to service the interest requirements on its outstanding debt.

Debt to Gross Book Value ("GBV")

Artis calculates GBV based on the total consolidated assets of the REIT, adding back the amount of accumulated depreciation of property and equipment.  The REIT has adopted debt to GBV as an indebtedness ratio guideline used to measure its leverage.

Debt to EBITDA Ratio

Artis calculates debt to EBITDA based on annualizing the current quarter's EBITDA as defined above and comparing that balance to Artis' total outstanding debt.  Management considers this ratio to be a valuable measure of Artis' leverage.

Net Asset Value ("NAV") per Unit

Artis calculates NAV per unit as its unitholders' equity, adjusted for the outstanding face value in Canadian dollars of its preferred units, divided by its total number of dilutive units outstanding.  Management considers this metric to be a valuable measure of the REIT's residual equity available to its common unitholders.
