TORONTO, Nov. 6, 2019 /CNW/ - Choice Properties Real Estate Investment Trust ("Choice Properties" or the "Trust") (TSX: CHP.UN) today announced its consolidated financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019. The 2019 Third Quarter Report to Unitholders is available in the Investor Relations section of the Trust's website at www.choicereit.ca, and has been filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

"We are pleased with both our financial and operational results for the third quarter," said Rael Diamond, President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Diamond added, "Operationally, same-asset net operating income on a cash basis was up 2.6% for the quarter and period end portfolio occupancy remained strong at 97.8%. Also of note, with the recent sale of a 30 property portfolio, we've further strengthened our balance sheet by reducing leverage, providing additional capacity to fund our significant development program."

1.

Exchangeable Units are recorded at their fair value based on the market trading price of the Trust Units, which results in a negative impact to the financial results
when the Trust Unit price rises and a positive impact when the Trust Unit price declines.

2.

Fair value gains (losses) excluding Exchangeable Units includes adjustments to fair value of investment properties and unit-based compensation.

Quarterly Results:

  • Net Income (Loss) - Net loss for the third quarter of 2019 was $210.8 million, as compared to net income of $62.6 million in the prior year. The change of $273.4 million compared to the third quarter of 2018 included $312.0 million related to changes in the fair value loss on the Exchangeable Units as a result of the net increase in the unit price during the current quarter, partially offset by the year-over-year favourable change in fair value for investment properties. Excluding the accounting fair value adjustments, net income increased as a result of higher net operating income attributable to same-asset growth related to increased occupancy and completed developments, as well as a decrease in acquisition transaction costs and other related expenses.

Year-To-Date Results:

  • Net Income (Loss) - Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $874.6 million, as compared to net income of $368.5 million in the prior year. The decline of $1.2 billion compared to the prior year included $1.5 billion related to changes in the fair value loss on Exchangeable Units as a result of the net increase in the unit price on a year-to-date basis, partially offset by the year-over-year favourable change in fair value for investment properties. Excluding the accounting fair value adjustments, net income increased primarily due to nine months of contribution from the acquisition of Canadian Real Estate Investment Trust ("CREIT"), as compared to five months in the prior year and growth in net operating income attributable to completed development projects, in addition to a decrease in acquisition transaction costs and other related expenses.

1.

A non-GAAP measurement which includes amounts from directly held properties and equity accounted joint ventures.

2.

A non-GAAP measurement.

Quarterly Results:

  • Funds from Operations - For the third quarter of 2019, FFO (a non-GAAP measure) was $175.0 million or $0.250 per unit diluted, compared with $169.7 million or $0.253 per unit diluted in the third quarter of 2018. FFO increased primarily due to positive leasing activity, growth in net operating income attributable to completed development projects and $1.5 million in non-recurring items, offset by higher borrowing costs. On a per unit basis, the decline was primarily due to the higher weighted average number of units outstanding as a result of the May 2019 equity offering.

Year-To-Date  Results:

  • Funds from Operations - For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, FFO was $514.5 million or $0.751 per unit diluted, compared with $432.0 million or $0.778 per unit diluted in 2018. FFO increased primarily due to positive leasing activity, growth in net operating income attributable to completed development projects and nine months of contribution from the acquisition of CREIT as compared to five months in the prior year, offset by higher borrowing costs. On a per unit basis, the decline was primarily due to the higher weighted average number of units outstanding as a result of the May 2019 equity offering.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Additional Financial Information

In addition to using performance measures determined in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS" or "GAAP"), Choice Properties also measures its performance using certain non-GAAP measures, and provides these measures in this press release so that investors may do the same. Such measures and related per-unit amounts are not defined by IFRS and therefore should not be construed as alternatives to net income or cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS. Furthermore, the supplemental measures used by management may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other real estate investment trusts or enterprises. These terms, which include the proportionate share basis of accounting, net operating income ("NOI"), funds from operations ("FFO") and adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO"), are defined in Section 15, "Non-GAAP Financial Measures", of the Choice Properties MD&A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, and are reconciled to the most comparable IFRS measure.

Choice Properties' unaudited interim period condensed consolidated financial statements and MD&A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are available on Choice Properties' website at www.choicereit.ca and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Readers are directed to these documents for financial details and a fulsome discussion on Choice Properties' results.

Management's Discussion and Analysis and Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes

Information appearing in this news release is a select summary of results. This news release should be read in conjunction with Choice Properties' 2019 Third Quarter Report to Unitholders, which includes the unaudited interim period condensed consolidated financial statements and MD&A for the Trust, and is available at www.choicereit.ca and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Management will host a conference call on Thursday, November 7, 2019 at 10:00AM (ET) with a simultaneous audio webcast.
