Scotia view on earnings
Scotia view on earningsArtis REIT (AX.UN-T; C$13.21; SP) AX Q2 Initial Glance: In-Line Results Reflect a Stable QOQ Operating Environment
OUR TAKE: Recurring Q2/17 FFOPU was $0.36 vs. $0.365 YOY and $0.355 QOQ, in line with our $0.36 and $0.37 consensus (range = $0.35-$0.38). Q2/17 sameproperty (SP) NOI was +0.4% YOY (Q1/17 =-1.6%, 2016 = -0.6%), but down 1.1% in local currency (-0.1%); the U.S. and Canada were -0.1% and -1.2% in local currency (Q1/17 = -3%/+1%). We're glad to see some QOQ stability in the U.S. ops given it is a differentiating part of the AX story. SP occupancy was -230bp YOY, with declines across all asset classes. That said, QOQ occupancy was +20bp to 91.3%, with U.S. industrial improvement (+140bp) offset by Canadian industrial decline (-240bp). Modest progress was made on development initiatives, while dispositions started again post quarter. Floating rate debt exposure is +30bp QOQ to 17.9% of total debt.
