  • Subsequent to quarter end, announced two additional properties under contract for $12.1 million, at a blended 7.9% capitalization rate;  $5.3 million of the purchase prices to be satisfied in units valued at $1.90 being issued to the vendors.
  • The REIT continues to derive rental revenues from stable tenants under long-term leases with a weighted average 10.2 year remaining lease term.
  • AFFO payout Ratio of 79.1% for the three months and 78.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 has been restated – see below

"We continue to grow the REIT through accretive acquisitions of quality properties", stated Kelly Hanczyk, CEO. "We look forward to seeing the full positive impact of these acquisitions, combined with contractual rent increases, on our financial results in future quarters. We continue to pursue acquisition opportunities where properties are tenanted by creditworthy tenants, and expect we will be closing on the two previously announced additional acquisitions prior to the year's end. We are extremely pleased with the growth of our portfolio and its steady, safe and predictable performance."

Revenues and Results from Operations In Line with Expectations, Growth Driven by Acquisitions

Rental revenue increased to $2,987,548 in the quarter as compared to $2,571,558 in the same quarter of 2014. Net rental income grew to $2,570,519 in the quarter as compared to $2,099,324 in same quarter of 2014. Net rental income increased $369,268, or 16.8% as compared to Q2 2015. 

The REIT generated FFO and AFFO of $1,574,607 and $1,808,064 respectively, in the quarter ended September 30, 2015, with FFO and AFFO per unit of $0.045 and $0.052, respectively. FFO and AFFO per unit increased 4.8% and 1.8%, respectively, as compared to Q2 2015.

Distributions of $0.041 per unit were declared for the quarter. The AFFO payout ratio for the quarter was 79.1%.

Properties acquired on July 17, 2015 and August 4, 2015 were acquired through the issuance of units and with cash on hand. Mortgages were placed on these two acquisition properties to fund the August 25, 2015 acquisition of a $22,000,000 property in Calgary, Alberta. The full positive impact of leveraged returns on these acquisitions will be seen in the fourth quarter.  

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

The REIT's debt to total assets ratio was 50.1% at September 30, 2015. The REIT intends to maintain a debt to total assets ratio of less than 55%.

November and December 2015 Distributions

The REIT will make a cash distribution in the amount of $0.01333 per unit, representing $0.16 on an annualized basis, payable December 15, 2015 to unitholders of record as of November 30, 2015.

The REIT will also make a cash distribution in the amount of $0.01333 per unit, representing $0.16 on an annualized basis, payable January 15, 2016 to unitholders of record as of December 31, 2015.

The REIT's current distribution per unit continues to be $0.01333 per month. The REIT's distribution reinvestment program ("DRIP") entitles eligible unitholders to elect to receive all, or a portion of the cash distributions of the REIT reinvested in units of the REIT. Eligible unitholders who so elect will receive a bonus distribution of units equal to 4% of each distribution that was reinvested by them under the DRIP.

Technical Restatement of Audited 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements

In the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the REIT acquired 3 industrial properties. REIT units were issued as partial purchase price consideration. Following an analysis of the required accounting for these transactions, it was determined that the fair value of the REIT units issued should be measured in accordance with IAS 39, at the trading price of the REIT units at the date of issue. In light of this determination, it was also concluded that the REIT units issued as partial consideration for the acquisition of the RTL Westcan Properties (the "Acquisition") during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, which had previously been accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2 in the audited 2014 annual financial statements, should also have been recorded at fair value measured in accordance with IAS 39. As such, the audited 2014 annual financial statements were restated, and the MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2014 has been revised accordingly, so that the financial presentation is now consistent and comparable with the presentation adopted for Q3 2015.

The impact of the 2014 restatement was to reduce the carrying amount of the REIT units issued as partial purchase consideration from $37,240,000 to $32,300,000, with an offsetting increase in fair value adjustment of investment properties. The restatement has no impact on total unitholders' equity, cash from operating or financing activities or cash used in investing activities. Further, this change does not impact FFO or AFFO of the REIT.
