TORONTO, March 27, 2015 /CNW/ - Inovalis Real Estate Investment Trust ("Inovalis REIT" or the "REIT") (TSX: INO.UN) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2014. Inovalis REIT's management team will be holding a conference call on Monday March 30, 2015 at 10:00 am EST to discuss the results. The dial-in numbers for the conference call are: in Toronto 1-416-764-8688; outside Toronto (toll free, within North America) 1-888-390-0546.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Funds from Operations (FFO) of $3.2 million (or $0.21 per unit) for the 3-month period ended December 31, 2014 and of $11.5 million (or $0.85 per unit) for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2014
  • Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) of $3.5 million (or $0.23 per unit) for the 3-month period ended December 31, 2014 and of $12.4 million (or $0.92 per unit) for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2014
  • AFFO cash payout ratio of 91.6% for the 3-month period ended December 31, 2014 and 89.4% for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2014. These payout ratios reflect the fact that the REIT has $24 million of cash available for future acquisitions. It will decrease when additional cash is generated from these acquisitions. AFFO payout ratio would fall below 75% if the cash available were used to buy back and cancel Units
  • As at December 31, 2014, overall occupancy rate was 88.4% with a weighted average lease term of 6.6 years and a diversified high quality tenant base. Subsequent to the year end, the signature in January 2015 of two new leases on the Courbevoie and Vanves properties with an international tenant brought overall occupancy rate to 90.9%
  • On November 6, 2014, the REIT closed a public offering of 3,978,500 trust Units, on a bought deal basis, at a price of $9.30 per unit for total gross proceeds of $37.0 million. At the same time, Inovalis SA increased its commitment in the REIT with the purchase of 453,766 Exchangeable securities for an additional investment of $4.1 million
  • The net proceeds from the above mentioned public offering were invested as follows: approximately $17 million for the acquisition of two office properties located in the Greater Paris Region (the Baldi and Sablière properties), $18 million to fund a loan to Inovalis SA for the purpose of acquiring a property in Paris (the Metropolitan property), and the balance for future acquisitions and general trust purposes
  • As of December 31, 2014, the debt to book value stands at 52.2%, in line with our long-term targeted range of 50 to 55%. Net of the cash available, this debt to book value stands at 49.0%
  • Subsequent to the year end, on January 21, 2015, the REIT announced that it had entered into an agreement to purchase a 50% interest, on a joint venture basis, in an office property located in Germany for an all-in-cost of approximately $25 million.

"Over the last year, we are very pleased to have bought a property in Germany and to have successfully raised $41 million through an equity offering, which gave us the ability to buy two additional office properties in Greater Paris area and to fund an acquisition loan with respect to a third office property located in Paris. Granting such a loan is a strategic way for the REIT to benefit from a right of first opportunity to purchase at a discount a downtown Paris office property once it meets its investment criteria. In January 2015, we also significantly increased the occupancy rate in two of our French properties with the signature of two leases with an international tenant, increasing overall occupancy rate of our portfolio from 88.4% to 90.9%. Looking ahead, we are working on strategically deploying our cash available on future acquisitions, including in the short term the completion of the recently announced acquisition of a 109,100 square feet office property located in Bad Homburg (greater Frankfurt area, Germany) on a 50-50 co-ownership arrangement basis with another strategic and global institutional investor" said Stéphane Amine, Chairman of the Board of Inovalis REIT.

FFO and AFFO are key measures of performance used by real estate companies. However, they are not defined under IFRS, do not have standard meanings and may not be comparable with other industries or issuers
