SmartCentres Real Estate Investment Trust Releases Second Quarter Results for 2022


TORONTO, Aug. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SmartCentres Real Estate Investment Trust ("SmartCentres", the "Trust" or the "REIT") (TSX: SRU.UN) is pleased to report its financial and operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

"We continue to see improvement in customer traffic to our shopping centres which in turn generated steady increased levels of leasing activity that began earlier in 2022. We anticipate that this momentum will continue for the rest of 2022 which should have a positive impact on both our occupancy and earnings. We are pleased with this noticeable improvement in leasing activity and the associated improvement in metrics. Cash collections continue to improve, again exceeding 98% for the quarter, and we expect these levels to return to pre-COVID levels over the remainder of the year. Notwithstanding the recent upward movement in interest rates, our Walmart-anchored retail portfolio continues to demonstrate its strength and alignment with Canadian consumers; and thus has maintained its value for IFRS purposes during the quarter.

The improvement in our operating performance is further reflected in our financial results for the quarter. Our FFO per Unit as adjusted for anomalous items(1) increased by $0.03 or 5.8% to $0.55, and net income and comprehensive income per Unit increased by $0.34 or 60.8% to $0.90, as compared to the same quarter in the prior year".

At SmartVMC, currently our largest development initiative, but just one of many master-planned projects, beginning in Q3 2020, we have thus far closed on 1,763 units in the first three Transit City condominium phases, resulting in $0.38 in FFO per Unit(1) and $0.39 in net income and comprehensive income per Unit. Excitement around SmartVMC continues as the 120,000 square foot world class YMCA opened during the quarter, a huge step in the evolution at this city's growth. Through our residential banner, SmartLiving, our mixed-use intensification program continues to be a source of additional accretive growth, demonstrated by the launch of presale activity at Park Place where to date we have pre-sold approximately 50% of units released, demonstrating that SmartVMC operates outside the ebb and flow of other one-off residential developments owing to its master plan around mass transit and its strategic location in the GTA. Park Place, which includes approximately 1100 units in two stunning 56 and 48 storey towers, will be built on approximately two acres of the 53 acres of the recently acquired western lands at SmartVMC. At the Artwalk, another neighborhood within VMC, we have presold 100% of units released and we expect to begin construction of this multi-phased project later this year on a portion of lands previously occupied by Walmart at SmartVMC. Also, during the quarter, we successfully closed all 22 presold townhomes at Transit City and construction is progressing on time and on budget for the fourth and fifth fully sold-out phases of Transit City condominiums with full deposits representing 20% of each unit's purchase price having now been received, with closings expected to commence early in 2023. The 454-unit Millway rental tower is also proceeding on time and on budget with initial tenancies expected to begin later this year. We intend to develop approximately 20.0 million square feet of mixed-use space at SmartVMC alone, on which together with the City of Vaughan, we are also planning a 9-acre park which, over time, will become the focal point of this landmark city centre development.

Not that long ago our company was primarily focused on value-oriented retail with Walmart as its driving force. Today, our platform has evolved in new areas of growth. In 2015, we expanded our focus to various mixed-use forms of real estate including office, self-storage, condominiums and townhomes, high-rise rentals and seniors housing. SmartCentres now possesses industry leading, in-house expertise in all of these areas. Most notably, through our SmartLiving platform, we now have an internal team of professionals who facilitate the development, sales, construction, leasing, and management of our residential program across the country; a platform that did not exist a mere seven years ago. And now, with the acquisition of 32 acres of development lands in Pickering, we have begun our first initiative into the industrial sector; more to come. These evolving stages of growth in multiple disciplines permit us to continue to diversify our asset base and plant seeds for growth in NAV and FFO for many years into the future," said Mitchell Goldhar, Executive Chairman and CEO of SmartCentres REIT.

The amount is based on the total cost incurred with respect to the development portion of equity accounted investments multiplied by the Trust's weighted average cost of debt.
(5) Represents a non-GAAP measure. The Trust's method of calculating non-GAAP measures may differ from other reporting issuers' methods and, accordingly, may not be comparable. For additional information, please see "Non-GAAP Measures" in this Press Release.
(6) Represents adjustments relating to $1.9 million of costs associated with COVID-19 vaccination centres (six months ended June 30, 2021 ? $0.9 million).

Same Properties NOI
NOI (a non-GAAP financial measure) from continuing operations represents: i) rentals from investment properties and other revenues less property operating costs and other expenses, and ii) net profit from condominium sales. Disclosing the NOI contribution from each of same properties, acquisitions, dispositions, Earnouts and Development activities highlights the impact each component has on aggregate NOI. Straight-line rent, lease terminations and other adjustments, and amortization of tenant incentives have been excluded from Same Properties NOI, as have NOI from acquisitions, dispositions, Earnouts and Development activities, and ECL. This has been done in order to more directly highlight the impact of changes in occupancy, rent uplift and productivity.

Non-GAAP Measures

The non-GAAP measures used in this Press Release, including but not limited to, FFO per Unit, Unencumbered Assets, NOI, Debt to Aggregate Assets, Interest Coverage Ratio, Adjusted Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, Unsecured/Secured Debt Ratio, FFO, FFO with adjustments, FFO per Unit with adjustments, Transactional FFO, ACFO, Payout Ratio to ACFO, Same Properties NOI, Investment properties ? non-GAAP, Debt ? non-GAAP, Debt to Gross Book Value, Unencumbered Assets to Unsecured Debt, Weighted Average Interest Rate, and Total Proportionate Share, do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Additional information regarding these non-GAAP measures is available in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Trust for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, dated August 11, 2022 (the "MD&A), and is incorporated by reference. The information is found in the "Presentation of Certain Terms Including Non-GAAP Measures" and "Non-GAAP Measures" sections of the MD&A, which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures are found in the following sections of this Press Release: "Proportionately Consolidated Balance Sheets (including the Trust's interests in equity accounted investments)", "Proportionately Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (including the Trust's Interests in Equity Accounted Investments)", "FFO, FFO with adjustments, and FFO with adjustments and Transactional FFO", "ACFO and ACFO with adjustments", "Net Operating Income", "Same Properties NOI", and "Adjusted EBITDA".

Full reports of the financial results of the Trust for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are outlined in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related MD&A of the Trust for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

About SmartCentres

SmartCentres Real Estate Investment Trust is one of Canada's largest fully integrated REITs, with a best-in-class portfolio featuring 185 strategically located properties in communities across the country. SmartCentres has approximately $11.9 billion in assets and owns 34.7 million square feet of income producing value-oriented retail and first-class office space with 97.6% occupancy, on 3,500 acres of owned land across Canada.

SmartCentres continues to focus on enhancing the lives of Canadians by planning and developing complete, connected, mixed-use communities on its existing retail properties. Project 512, a publicly announced $15.2 billion intensification program ($9.8 billion at SmartCentres' share) represents the REIT's current major development focus on which construction is expected to commence within the next five years. This intensification program consists of rental apartments, condos, seniors' residences and hotels, to be developed under the SmartLiving banner, and retail, office, and storage facilities, to be developed under the SmartCentres banner.

SmartCentres' intensification program is expected to produce an additional 58.3 million square feet (40.2 million square feet at SmartCentres' share) of space, 28.3 million square feet (18.3 million square feet at SmartCentres' share) of which has or will commence construction within the next five years. From shopping centres to city centres, SmartCentres is uniquely positioned to reshape the Canadian urban and urban-suburban landscape.

Included in this intensification program is the Trust's share of SmartVMC which, when completed, is expected to include approximately 20.0 million square feet of mixed-use space in Vaughan, Ontario. Construction of the first five sold-out phases of Transit City Condominiums that represent 2,789 residential units continues to progress. Final closings of the first three phases of Transit City Condominiums began ahead of budget and ahead of schedule in August 2020 and all 1,741 units, in addition to the 22 townhomes that complete these phases, have now closed. The fourth and fifth sold-out phases representing 1,026 units are currently under construction and are expected to close in 2023.

More specifically, certain statements including, but not limited to, statements related to SmartCentres' expectations relating to cash collections, SmartCentres' expected or planned development plans and joint venture projects, including the described type, scope, costs and other financial metrics and the expected timing of construction and condominium closings and statements that contain words such as "could", "should", "can", "anticipate", "expect", "believe", "will", "may" and similar expressions and statements relating to matters that are not historical facts, constitute "forward-looking statements".

However, such forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including risks associated with potential acquisitions not being completed or not being completed on the contemplated terms, public health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, real property ownership and development, debt and equity financing for development, interest and financing costs, construction and development risks, and the ability to obtain commercial and municipal consents for development. These risks and others are more fully discussed under the heading "Risks and Uncertainties" and elsewhere in SmartCentres' most recent Management's Discussion and Analysis, as well as under the heading "Risk Factors" in SmartCentres' most recent annual information form.
