Allied Properties Real Estate Investment Trust ("Allied") (TSX:
"AP.UN") today announced results for its fourth quarter and year
ended December 31, 2024. “Our occupied and leased area
remained steady for the third consecutive quarter, and our urban
workspace portfolio continued to outperform in terms of occupancy
and rent growth in all urban submarkets other than Vancouver,” said
Cecilia Williams, President & CEO. “With demand rising in our
cities and across our three workspace formats, we expect to
increase our occupied and leased area and propel rent growth over
the course of 2025.”
Operations
Allied’s portfolio is comprised of three urban
workspace formats. Allied Heritage is a format created through the
adaptive re-use of light industrial structures for office use above
grade and retail use at grade. The buildings are inherently
distinctive, clustered in the urban core and generally low-rise.
Allied Modern is a format created specifically for office use. The
buildings are generally mid- to high-rise, clustered in the urban
core and distinctive by virtue of design, integration with heritage
structure and/or integration with the different elements of
mixed-use, amenity-rich urban neighbourhoods. Located primarily in
Toronto, Allied Flex is a limited format for buildings that Allied
intends to redevelop comprehensively within a five-to 10-year
period. Because of the near-term transformation of these buildings,
Allied can make workspace in them available profitably and on more
flexible than normal terms for users.
Utilization of, and demand for, Allied's
workspace continued to strengthen in the fourth quarter. In the
Montréal, Calgary and Vancouver rental portfolios, demand for
Allied Heritage was most pronounced. In the Toronto rental
portfolio, demand was strong across all three formats.
Allied conducted 255 lease tours in its rental
portfolio in the fourth quarter. Its occupied and leased area at
the end of the quarter was 85.9% and 87.2%, respectively. Allied
renewed 69% of the leases maturing in the quarter, much closer to
its normal level of 70% to 75%.
Allied leased a total of 571,298 square feet of
GLA in the fourth quarter, 527,978 square feet in its rental
portfolio and 43,320 square feet in its development portfolio. Of
the 527,978 square feet Allied leased in its rental portfolio,
84,724 square feet were vacant, 212,834 square feet were maturing
in the quarter and 230,420 square feet were maturing after the
quarter. 56,077 square feet of the vacant space leased in the
quarter involved expansion by existing users, a long-standing trend
in Allied's rental portfolio that appears to be regaining
momentum.
Average in-place net rent per occupied square
foot continued its steady improvement, ending the fourth quarter at
$25.41. Allied continued to achieve rent increases on renewal in
the fourth quarter (up 2.0% ending-to-starting base rent and up
5.9% average-to-average base rent).
2024 Acquisitions and Non-Core Property
Sales
“We remain committed to our vision, mission and
core strategy,” said Michael Emory, Founder & Executive Chair.
“Given our confidence in the future of Canada’s major cities, we’ll
continue to grow our business with a view to serving
knowledge-based organizations ever more comprehensively and
successfully over time.”
In 2024, Allied acquired three triple-A urban
properties for $677 million -- 400 West Georgia Street in
Vancouver, the remaining 50% interest in 19 Duncan Street in
Toronto and an additional 16.7% interest in the residential
component of TELUS Sky (now known as “Calgary House”), bringing its
ownership to 50%. The aggregate acquisition price was below
development and replacement cost.
- 400 West Georgia is comprised of
340,846 square feet of office GLA, 6,546 square feet of retail GLA
and 163 underground parking stalls. The property is 82% leased to
Deloitte, Apple, Northeastern University, Spaces, RBC, a local café
and a local restaurant, all with a weighted-average lease term of
11 years. Completed in late 2023, the property is designated LEED
Platinum.
- 19 Duncan is comprised of 149,230
square feet of office GLA, 3,570 square feet of retail GLA, 464
rental-residential units, related common areas and facilities, 25
underground commercial parking stalls and 106 underground
residential parking stalls. The office component is fully leased to
Thomson Reuters with a weighted-average lease term of 8.6 years.
The lease-up of the residential component is underway and is
expected to be completed in early 2026. With the office component
completed in late 2023 and the residential component (known as
“Toronto House”) to be completed shortly, the property is designed
to, and applying for designation as, LEED Gold.
- Calgary House is comprised of 326
rental-residential units, related common areas and 176 underground
parking stalls. The property is 91.8% leased. Completed in late
2020, the property is designated LEED Gold.
Allied paid for the three triple-A urban
properties by (i) converting loans receivable of $232 million into
equity and (ii) incurring $445 million of short-term, variable-rate
debt on 400 West Georgia and 19 Duncan. Allied has since replaced
the debt on 400 West Georgia with a first mortgage of $180 million
at 5.25% per annum for a term of five and one-half years. Allied
has since sold seven lower-yielding, non-core properties -- four in
Montréal, one in Toronto, one in Ottawa and one in Calgary -- for
$229 million, which was allocated to debt repayment in the fourth
quarter.
In Management’s view, the temporary contraction
in cashflow per unit resulting from the acquisition of 400 West
Georgia and 19 Duncan represents an investment in the future, one
that will drive earnings and value growth on completion of lease-up
by 2026. Management is also of the view that the two properties are
important in meaningfully augmenting the Allied Modern format in
two of Canada’s most important urban office markets.
2024 Balance-Sheet
Management
By the end of 2024, Allied
(i) reduced the amount drawn on its $800 million
unsecured revolving operating facility to nil, affording it
considerable liquidity going into 2025,
(ii) reduced short-term, variable rate debt to
$153 million, representing 3.5% of its total debt,
(iii) had a total debt ratio(1) of 41.7% and
(iv) had net debt as a multiple of annualized
adjusted EBITDA(1) of 10.8x.
Allied is committed to maintaining and
ultimately improving its access to the debt capital markets and
will continue to manage its balance sheet accordingly.
Outlook
Allied is experiencing steady demand for urban
workspace, urban rental-residential space and urban amenity space,
as well as strong and quantifiable engagement among users of space
in its portfolio generally. Management expects this to underpin
growth in same-asset NOI(1) in 2025 of approximately 2%. With the
higher overall interest cost flowing from the 2024 acquisitions,
Management expects FFO(1) and AFFO(1) per unit to contract in 2025
by approximately 4%.
Allied’s specific operating goals for year-end
2025 are as follows:
(i) to have reached occupied and leased area of
at least 90%;
(ii) to have sold lower-yielding, non-core
properties, primarily in Montréal, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver,
for at least $300 million and at or above IFRS value, with
allocation of proceeds to debt repayment;
(iii) to have fully monetized its loan
receivable secured by 150 West Georgia Street in Vancouver with
allocation of proceeds to debt repayment; and
(iv) to have net debt as a multiple of annualized
adjusted EBITDA below 10x, despite an expected temporary increase
in the first quarter of
2025._____________________________________________________________________________(1)
This is a non-GAAP measure. FFO per unit and AFFO per unit exclude
condominium-related items, financing prepayment costs, and the
mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation. Refer to the

(1) For the three months ended December 31,
2024, general and administrative expenses increased by $1,645 or
24.4% from the comparable period. This was primarily due to the
change in the mark-to-market adjustments on unit-based compensation
of $1,618. The mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation
is added back in the calculation of FFO as defined in REALPAC's
"Funds From Operations (FFO) & Adjusted Funds From Operations
(AFFO) for IFRS" issued in January 2022.

(1) For the year ended December 31, 2024,
general and administrative expenses increased by $756 or 3.2% from
the comparable period primarily due to the change in mark-to-market
adjustments on unit-based compensation of $387. The mark-to-market
adjustment on unit-based compensation is added back in the
calculation of FFO as defined in REALPAC's "Funds From Operations
(FFO) & Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) for IFRS" issued
in January 2022.

(1) This measure is presented on an IFRS
basis.(2) This is a non-GAAP measure and includes the results of
the continuing operations and the discontinued operations. Refer to
the Non-GAAP Measures section below. (3) Prior to Allied's
conversion to an open-end trust, net asset value per unit ("NAV per
unit") was calculated as total equity as at the corresponding
period ended, divided by the actual number of Units and class B
limited partnership units of Allied Properties Exchangeable Limited
Partnership ("Exchangeable LP Units") outstanding at period end.
With Allied's conversion to an open-end trust on June 12, 2023, NAV
per unit is calculated as total equity plus the value of
Exchangeable LP Units as at the corresponding period ended, divided
by the actual number of Units and Exchangeable LP Units. The
rationale for including the value of Exchangeable LP Units is
because they are economically equivalent to Units, receive
distributions equal to the distributions paid on the Units and are
exchangeable, at the holder's option, for Units.
Non-GAAP Measures
Management uses financial measures based on
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS" or "GAAP") and
non-GAAP measures to assess Allied's performance. Non-GAAP measures
do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and
therefore, should not be construed as alternatives to net income or
cash flow from operating activities calculated in accordance with
IFRS. Refer to the Non-GAAP Measures section on page 17 of the
MD&A as at December 31, 2024, available on
www.sedarplus.ca, for an explanation of the composition of the
non-GAAP measures used in this press release and their usefulness
for readers in assessing Allied's performance. Such explanation is
incorporated by reference herein.

(1) These non-GAAP measures include the results of
the continuing operations and the discontinued operations (except
for Same Asset NOI - rental portfolio, which only includes
continuing operations).
The following tables reconcile the non-GAAP
measures to the most comparable IFRS measures for the three months
and years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023. These terms do
not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and may not
be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other
publicly traded entities.
The following table reconciles Allied's net loss
and comprehensive loss to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, for
the three months and years ended December 31, 2024, and
2023.
