- Announces four new investments totalling $31 million in the quarter
- Nearly 1 million square feet of gross leasable area added to
the portfolio in 2022
TORONTO, Feb. 14,
2023 /CNW/ - CT Real Estate Investment Trust ("CT
REIT" or "the REIT") (TSX: CRT.UN) today reported its consolidated
financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended
December 31, 2022.
"We are very pleased with both our financial results this
quarter and the progress that we continue to make with our
development pipeline," said Kevin
Salsberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of CT REIT.
"Our stable and resilient net lease portfolio, which now totals
over 30 million square feet of gross leasable area, along with our
strong balance sheet, position us well to navigate this uncertain
current market. We continue to work alongside Canadian Tire to
source additional opportunities for their store and supply chain
networks and are working collaboratively to explore options to
surface incremental value at certain well-located urban assets
within our collective portfolios."
New Investment Activity
CT REIT announced four new investments, which will require
an estimated $31 million to complete.
The investments are, in aggregate, expected to earn a weighted
average cap rate of 6.11% and represent approximately 109,000
square feet of incremental gross leasable area ("GLA").

Financial Highlights
Net Income – Net income was $74.7 million for the quarter, a decrease of
$50.6 million or 40.4%, compared to
the same period in the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in
the fair value adjustment on investment properties, partially
offset by an increase in net operating income.
Net Operating Income (NOI)* – Total property revenue for
the quarter was $135.2 million,
which was $5.6 million or 4.4%
higher compared to the same period in the prior year. In the fourth
quarter, NOI was $106.8 million,
which was $5.8 million or 5.8% higher
compared to the same period in the prior year. This was primarily
due to the acquisition and development of income-producing
properties completed in 2022 and 2021, which contributed
$1.4 million to NOI growth and rent
escalations from Canadian Tire leases, which contributed a further
$1.4 million. Same store NOI was
$102.4 million, and same property NOI
was $104.4 million for the quarter,
which was $2.6 million or 2.6%, and
$4.6 million or 4.7%, respectively,
higher when compared to the prior year. Same store NOI increased
primarily due to increased revenue derived from contractual rent
escalations, and recovery of capital expenditures and interest
earned thereon. Same property NOI increased primarily due to the
increase in same store NOI noted, as well as an increase from the
intensifications completed in 2022 and 2021.
Funds from Operations (FFO)* - FFO for the
quarter was $75.6 million, which was
$3.6 million or 5.1% higher than the
same period in 2021 primarily due to the impact of NOI variances,
partially offset by an increase in the interest on the public
debentures and an increase in the prime rate on the CTC Credit
Facility and the variable rate mortgage. FFO per unit - diluted
(non-GAAP) for the quarter was $0.322
per unit - diluted (non-GAAP), which was $0.014 per unit - diluted (non-GAAP) or 4.5%
higher, compared to the same period in 2021, due to the growth of
FFO exceeding the growth in the weighted average units
outstanding-diluted (non-GAAP).
Adjusted Funds from Operations
(AFFO)* – AFFO for the quarter was $68.5 million, which was $4.4 million or 6.8% higher than the same period
in 2021 primarily due to the impact of NOI variances, partially
offset by an increase in the interest on the public debentures and
an increase in the prime rate on the CTC Credit Facility and the
variable rate mortgage. AFFO per unit - diluted (non-GAAP) for the
quarter was $0.292 per unit - diluted
(non-GAAP), which was $0.017 or 6.2%
higher, compared to the same period in 2021, due to the growth of
AFFO exceeding the growth in the weighted average units outstanding
- diluted (non-GAAP).
Distributions – Distributions per unit in the
quarter amounted to $0.217, which was
3.3% higher than the same period in 2021 due to increases in the
rate of distribution which became effective with the monthly
distributions paid in July 2022.
Operating Results
Leasing – CTC is CT REIT's most significant tenant.
As at December 31, 2022, CTC represented 92.3% of total GLA
and 91.4% of annualized base minimum rent.
Occupancy – As at December 31, 2022, CT REIT's portfolio occupancy rate, on a
committed basis, was 99.3%.
*NOI, FFO and AFFO are Specified Financial Measures. See below
for additional information.
Specified Financial Measures
CT REIT uses specified financial measures as defined by National
Instrument 52-112 Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures
Disclosure of the Canadian Securities Administrators ("NI
52-112"). CT REIT believes these
specified financial measures provide useful information to both
management and investors in measuring the financial performance of
CT REIT and its ability to meet its principal objective of creating
Unitholder value over the long term by generating reliable, durable
and growing monthly cash distributions on a tax-efficient
basis.
These specified financial measures used in this document include
non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, within the meaning
of NI 52-112. Non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios do
not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, also referred
to as generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"),
and therefore they may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures and ratios presented by other publicly traded entities and
should not be construed as an alternative to other financial
measures determined in accordance with GAAP.
See below for further information on specified financial
measures used by management in this document and, where applicable,
for reconciliations to the nearest GAAP measures.
Net Operating Income
NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as property revenue
less property expense, adjusted for straight-line rent. The most
directly comparable primary financial statement measure is property
revenue. Management believes that NOI is a useful key indicator of
performance as it represents a measure of property operations over
which management has control. NOI is also a key input in
determining the fair value of the portfolio of Properties. NOI
should not be considered as an alternative to property revenue or
net income and comprehensive income, both of which are determined
in accordance with IFRS.

Funds From Operations
FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance
used by the real estate industry, particularly by those publicly
traded entities that own and operate income-producing properties.
The most directly comparable primary financial statement measure is
net income and comprehensive income. FFO should not be considered
as an alternative to net income or cash flows provided by operating
activities determined in accordance with IFRS. The use of FFO,
together with the required IFRS presentations, has been included
for the purpose of improving the understanding of the operating
results of CT REIT.
Management believes that FFO is a useful measure of operating
performance that, when compared period-over-period, reflects the
impact on operations of trends in occupancy levels, rental rates,
operating costs and property taxes, acquisition activities and
interest costs, and provides a perspective of the financial
performance that is not immediately apparent from net income
determined in accordance with IFRS.
FFO adds back to net income items that do not arise from
operating activities, such as fair value adjustments. FFO, however,
still includes non-cash revenues related to accounting for
straight-line rent and makes no deduction for the recurring capital
expenditures necessary to sustain the existing earnings stream.
Adjusted Funds From Operations
AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure of recurring economic
earnings used in the real estate industry to assess an entity's
distribution capacity. The most directly comparable primary
financial statement measure is net income and comprehensive income.
AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or
cash flows provided by operating activities determined in
accordance with IFRS.
CT REIT calculates AFFO by adjusting FFO for non-cash income and
expense items such as amortization of straight-line rents. AFFO is
also adjusted for a reserve for maintaining productive capacity
required for sustaining property infrastructure and revenue from
real estate properties and direct leasing costs. As property
capital expenditures do not occur evenly during the fiscal year or
from year to year, the capital expenditure reserve in the AFFO
calculation, which is used as an input in assessing the REIT's
distribution payout ratio, is intended to reflect an average annual
spending level. The reserve is primarily based on average
expenditures as determined by building condition reports prepared
by independent consultants.
Management believes that AFFO is a useful measure of operating
performance similar to FFO as described above, adjusted for the
impact of non-cash income and expense items.
Capital Expenditure Reserve

expenditures during the 2021-2022 period to the capital expenditure

The capital expenditure reserve is a non-GAAP financial measure and
management believes the reserve is a useful measure to understand
the normalized capital expenditures required to maintain property
infrastructure. Recoverable capital expenditures are the most
directly comparable measure that is disclosed in the REIT's primary
financial statements. The capital expenditure reserve should not be
considered as an alternative to recoverable capital expenditures,
which is determined in accordance with IFRS.
The capital expenditure reserve varies from the capital
expenditures incurred due to the seasonal nature of the
expenditures. As such, CT REIT views the capital expenditure
reserve as a meaningful measure.
FFO per unit - Basic, FFO per unit - Diluted (non-GAAP), AFFO
per unit - Basic and AFFO per unit - Diluted (non-GAAP)
FFO per unit - basic, FFO per unit - diluted (non-GAAP), AFFO
per unit - basic and AFFO per unit - diluted (non-GAAP) are
non-GAAP ratios and reflect FFO and AFFO on a weighted average per
unit basis. Management believes these non-GAAP ratios are useful
measures to investors since the measures indicate the impact of FFO
and AFFO respectively in relation to an individual per unit
investment in the REIT. For the purpose of calculating diluted per
unit amounts, diluted units include restricted and deferred units
issued under various plans and exclude the effects of settling the
Class C LP Units with Class B LP Units.
Management believes that FFO per unit ratios are useful measures
of operating performance that, when compared period-over-period,
reflect the impact on operations of trends in occupancy levels,
rental rates, operating costs and property taxes, acquisition
activities and interest costs, and provides a perspective of the
financial performance that is not immediately apparent from net
income per unit determined in accordance with IFRS. Management
believes that AFFO per unit ratios are useful measures of operating
performance similar to FFO as described above, adjusted for the
impact of non-cash income and expense items. The FFO per unit and
AFFO per unit ratios are not standardized financial measures under
IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to other ratios
determined in accordance with IFRS. The component of the FFO per
unit ratios which is a non-GAAP financial measure is FFO and the
component of AFFO per unit ratios which is a non-GAAP financial
measure is AFFO.

Management calculates the weighted average units outstanding -
diluted (non-GAAP) by excluding the full conversion of the Class C
LP Units to Class B LP Units which is not considered a likely
scenario. As such, the REIT's fully diluted per unit FFO and AFFO
amounts are calculated excluding the effects of settling the Class
C LP Units with Class B LP Units, which management considers as a
more meaningful measure.
AFFO Payout Ratio
The AFFO payout ratio is a non-GAAP ratio which is a measure of
the sustainability of the REIT's distribution payout. Management
believes this is a useful measure to investors since this metric
provides transparency on performance. Management considers the AFFO
payout ratio to be the best measure of the REIT's distribution
capacity. The AFFO payout ratio is not a standardized financial
measure under IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative
to other ratios determined in accordance with IFRS. The component
of the AFFO payout ratio, which is a non-GAAP financial measure is
AFFO and the composition of the AFFO payout ratio is as

Same Store NOI
Same store NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure which reports the
period-over-period performance of the same asset base having
consistent GLA in both periods. CT REIT management believes same
store NOI is a useful measure to gauge the change in asset
productivity and asset value. The most directly comparable primary
financial statement measure is property revenue. Same store NOI
should not be considered as an alternative to property revenue or
net income and comprehensive income, both of which are determined
in accordance with IFRS.
Same Property NOI
Same property NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that is
consistent with the definition of same store NOI above, except that
same property includes the NOI impact of intensifications.
Management believes same property NOI is a useful measure to gauge
the change in asset productivity and asset value, as well as
measure the additional return earned by incremental capital
investments in existing assets. The most directly comparable
primary financial statement measure is property revenue. Same
property NOI should not be considered as an alternative to property
revenue or net income and comprehensive income, both of which are
determined in accordance with IFRS.
Acquisitions, Developments and Dispositions NOI
Acquisitions, developments and dispositions NOI is a non-GAAP
financial measure that is consistent with the definition of NOI
above with respect to new property or dispositions of property not
included in same property NOI. CT REIT management believes
acquisitions, developments and dispositions NOI is a useful measure
to gauge the change in asset productivity and asset value. The most
directly comparable primary financial statement measure is property
revenue. Acquisitions, developments and dispositions NOI should not
be considered as an alternative to property revenue or net income
and comprehensive income, both of which are determined in
accordance with IFRS.

components of NOI:
