1. Early Termination event: In Q1-2021, we received $1.00 million
for the early lease termination of a fast food chain which was
included in other revenue, and impacts the comparative results |
Andrew Melton, CEO of Melcor REIT commented: "The
second quarter of 2022 presented similar results to what we saw in
the first quarter. We are pleased with stability in a market that
continues to see challenges. Our leasing team has worked diligently
to renew expiring leases and source new tenants, resulting in a
healthy retention rate of 86% and 273,154 sf of new and renewed
leasing. Future leasing remains a priority and we have commitment
on an additional 110,966 sf of future renewals and over 78,000 sf
in new deals.
Rising interest rates and inflation place even more
pressure on the market and we expect to further feel the effects of
this as our mortgages come up for renewal. Our weighted average
interest rate rose to 3.71% over year-end. (December 31, 2021
- 3.62%).
Our distributions remained stable over Q1-2022 at
$0.04 per unit, an increase of 14% over Q2-2021. Subsequent to
quarter-end, the Board of Trustees declared distributions for July
2022, unchanged from previous months."
HIGHLIGHTS:Our portfolio
performance remained stable in the second quarter and year-to-date.
Year-to-date NOI and net rental income was down 4% due to $1
million in early termination fees paid in Q1-2021. Excluding these
payments, year-to-date NOI was stable and net rental income was up
1%. In the quarter, both NOI and net rental income were down 2% due
to the timing of operating expenses.
We continue to proactively renew existing tenants
which has resulted in a strong retention rate of 86% year-to-date.
We are actively pursuing new tenant opportunities and have
commenced 53,444 sf in new leases. Occupancy remained stable over
the first quarter and year-end at 87% (Q1-2022 - 87%, Q4-2021 -
87%). On average, WABR has decreased slightly from year-end, down
1%, due to ongoing challenges within the office class. Following
the lifting of work-from-home orders, demand for office space
continues to fluctuate while supply increases. WABR on our retail
properties increased 1% over Q1-2022.
The factors that contributed most significantly to
results in 2022 compared to 2021 are as follows:
- Early
Termination event: In Q1-2021, we received $1.00 million
for the early lease termination of a fast food chain which was
included in other revenue, and impacts the comparative
results.
- Non-cash
fair value adjustments: Non-cash fair value adjustments on
Class B LP Units and investment properties often cause dramatic
swings in results. Class B Units are valued at market value, thus a
change in unit price has a counter-intuitive impact on net income,
as an increase in unit value decreases net income. These
revaluations have had a material impact to net income in both the
current and prior periods, making comparison less meaningful.
Management considers FFO and ACFO better measures of our
performance as these non-cash items are removed from those
metrics.
-
Distribution Increase: Our monthly distribution
increased by 14% to $0.04 per unit compared to Q2-2021.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTSFinancial
highlights of our performance in the second quarter and
year-to-date include:
- Revenue was up 1% at $18.15 million in
Q2-2022 and down 1% at $37.12 million year-to-date. Excluding the
Early Termination event, year-to-date revenue was up 2%.
- NOI was down 2% at $23.25 million
in Q2-2022 due to the timing of operating expenses. NOI was down 4%
year-to-date. Excluding the Early Termination event, year-to-date
NOI was stable.
- FFO was down 7% to $6.11 million or
$0.21 per unit in the quarter (Q2-2021: $6.57 million or $0.23 per
unit). Year-to-date, FFO was down 8% to $12.64 million or $0.43 per
unit (2021: $13.67 million or $0.47 per unit). Excluding the Early
Termination event, year-to-date FFO was stable. Management believes
FFO best reflects our true operating performance.
- ACFO was down 9% at $4.51 million or
$0.15 per unit in Q2-2022 (Q2-2021: $4.96 million or $0.17 per
unit). Year-to-date ACFO is down 11% at $9.57 million (2021: $10.71
million). Excluding the Early Termination event, year-to-date ACFO
was down 1%. Management believes that ACFO best reflects our cash
flow and therefore our ability to pay distributions. The second
quarter payout ratio was 77% based on ACFO, and 73% year-to-date
(Q2-2021 - 62% and year-to-date 2021 - 57%).
- Net income in the current and
comparative period is significantly impacted by the non-cash fair
value adjustments described above and thus not a meaningful metric
to assess financial performance.
- Year-to-date we have completed
financing renewals on 3 properties, for net proceeds of $1.44
million.
- As at June 30,
2022 we had $4.55 million in cash and $32.00 million in undrawn
liquidity under our revolving credit facility.
DISTRIBUTIONSOur monthly
distributions remained stable over year-end at $0.04 and increased
14% over Q2-2021. The quarterly payout ratio was 77% based on ACFO
and 57% based on FFO (Q2-2021: distribution of $0.035 per month;
62% ACFO and 47% FFO). Year-to-date the payout ratio was 73% based
on ACFO and 55% based on FFO (2021: distributions of $0.035 per
month; 57% based on ACFO and 45% based on FFO)

Non-standard MeasuresNOI, FFO,
AFFO and ACFO are key measures of performance used by real estate

Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), do not have standard meanings
and may not be comparable with other industries or income trusts.
These non-IFRS measures are defined and discussed in the REIT’s
MD&A for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, which is
available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Finance costs coverage ratio:
Finance costs coverage ratio is a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated
as FFO plus finance costs for the period divided by finance costs
expensed during the period excluding distributions on Class B LP
Units and fair value adjustment on derivative instruments.
Debt service coverage ratio: Debt
service coverage ratio is a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated as FFO
for the period divided by principal repayments on mortgages payable
and Class C LP Units made during the period.
Debt to Gross Book Value: Debt to
GBV is a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated as the sum of total
amount drawn on revolving credit facility, mortgages payable, Class
C LP Units, excluding unamortized fair value adjustment on Class C
LP Units, liability held for sale (as applicable) and convertible
debenture, excluding unamortized discount and transaction costs
divided by GBV. GBV is calculated as the total assets acquired in
the Initial Properties, subsequent asset purchases and development
costs less dispositions.
Income before fair value adjustment and
taxes: Income before fair value adjustment and income
taxes is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated as net
income excluding fair value adjustments for Class B LP Units,
