• New construction during the quarter exceeded 1.0 million sf: Vesta began construction on three new buildings in Monterrey and one in Queretaro for Vesta´s longtime client Safran, aligned with the Company's growth plan and reflecting strong market dynamics.

• Vesta achieved 28% of its ESG Bond KPIs related to the portfolio's green certified GLA, by year end 2023, exceeding its targeted 2031 timeframe. This was achieved through the Company´s focus on GLA certification for existing properties and by the accelerated portfolio growth in recent years. Vesta continues to monitor these KPIs, as any asset sales or changes to the portfolio composition can impact this metric.
• Vesta sold a non-strategic land lease property in the Bajio for US $780,000 during the first quarter 2024 as part of the Company's strategy to opportunistically recycle non-strategically relevant assets.

• First quarter 2024 revenue reached US$ 60.6 million; a 21.3% year on year increase from US$ 49.9 million in the first quarter 2023 primarily due to US$ 8.9 million in new revenue-generating contracts and a US$ 2.1 million inflationary benefit on first quarter 2024 results.
• First quarter 2024 Adjusted Net Operating Income (Adjusted NOI) ¹ increased 20.1% to US$ 57.4 million, compared to US$ 47.8 million in the first quarter 2023. The first quarter 2024 Adjusted NOI margin was 96.0%; a 35-basis-point year on year decrease due to increased property-related costs.
• First quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA ² increased 20.1% to US$ 50.6 million, as compared to US$ 42.1 million in the first quarter 2023. The Adjusted EBITDA margin was 84.7%; a 21-basis-point decrease primarily due to increased administrative expenses during the quarter.
• First quarter 2024 Vesta funds from operations (Vesta FFO) increased by 32.4% to US$ 40.4 million, from US$ 30.5 million in 2023. Vesta FFO per share was US$ 0.0456 for the first quarter 2024 compared with US$ 0.0439 for the same period in 2023; a 3.9% increase resulting from an increase in Adjusted EBITDA, while interest expenses and current tax for the quarter decreased. First quarter 2024 Vesta FFO excluding current tax was US$ 33.4 million compared to US$ 9.7 million in the first quarter 2023, due to higher profit, lower interest expense and lower current taxes in the first quarter 2024 relative to the same period in 2023.
• First quarter 2024 total comprehensive gain was US$ 124.0 million, versus US$ 59.1 million in the first quarter 2023. This increase was primarily due to increased revenues and a higher gain on the revaluation of investment properties during the quarter.
