Q1/24 FIRST LOOK: RESULTS IN LINE; SPNOIG OF +11.7%
THE TD COWEN INSIGHT
InterRent delivered an in-line quarter with steady y/y occupancy, strong AMR growth and lower utility costs leading to +11.7% SPNOI growth. Asset recycling continues with IIP entering agreement to sell an Ottawa portfolio for $97mm post quarter.
Impact: NEUTRAL
Q1/24 Results: Q1/24 FFO/unit of $0.14 was +11% y/y, and largely in line with our estimate and consensus. AFFO/unit of $0.12 was also in line versus our estimate.
Operational Highlights
Q1 SPNOI growth was +11.7%, up from 10.5% in Q4/23. SP revenues were +7.8% y/y
on strong SP AMR growth of +7.1% (to $1,635) and a +10bps y/y uptick in SP occupancy
to 96.8% (-20bps q/q). GMA (+240bps y/y to 97.7%) and GTHA (+30bps to 96.7%) saw improvements while the other regions were lower y/y. SP AMR growth was strong in most regions and led by GVA (+8.2%), Other Ontario (+8.1%) and GTHA (+7.3%). SP expenses were +1.2% y/y (helped by an 11% decline in utility costs) leading to +230bps y/y SP operating margin gains to 65.2%. Achieved 20.3% average gain-on-lease on 461 leases during Q1. Management estimated the mark-to-market on the portfolio at ~30%.
Developments
Target completion dates were unchanged at the REIT's development projects with 360 Laurier being the only one “in the ground” and expected to be delivered in Q3/25.
