Never Seen this Before on a REIT with More than 90% Occupanc

Most of their leases are long-term exceeding 3 years and even 7 to 10 years in some cases. AFFO after  the 50% dividend cut is much lower and interest rate is around 3.8% on most of their debts for the next 3 years and there is no convertible debenture like other reits. Almost all debts are mortgage which is better than debentures. 

I AM BUYING AS IT GETS Slaughtered for long term hold

I advise you to take a closer look at their debt and find out exactly the break down of how much debt is maturing and when.    There's a reason why the Dividend was cut, properties sold (and one I would consider almost fire sale price).  All just my opinion/view/thinking/guessing

Looking at their filings and presentations, their debt is well staggered and are all mortgages backed. They dont have convertible debentures that tends to be worse than mortgage.

So what's the breakdown, and more importantly, how much is maturing in a year?
Comment by Predator2018 on May 11, 2023 10:52am
I think they stated the value of maturing debt in their recent financials. Interest coverage ratio is 2.8% implies they can cover interest payments. weighted average interest rate = 3.63% weighted average term to maturity  = 3.14 years During the quarter, the REIT refinanced a total of $31M of mortgages, one with a fixed interest rate of 4.83 per cent (five-year term) and one with a ...more

And many of their government leases with Federal government is at an average of 7 years lease term.

Long lease terms are only good if you also locked in low rates for long term.   Otherwise, those long term leases could back fire.   All just my opinion/view/thinking.

I agree that the 360 Lauriel property in Ottawa was a Fire sale as it was sold below purchase price. But when you account for the depreciation expenses over the 4 years they owned it, the undepreciated value may be close to the realized sale price.
Comment by CrazyTrader on May 11, 2023 10:47am
you agreed, fire sale.  It wasn't just sold below purchase price, it was sold way below purchase price. Also, you forgetting about inflation.
Comment by Predator2018 on May 11, 2023 10:57am
I agree with you regarding the fire sale as the replacement value of that property considering inflation and land appreciation mus be above $30M. The bigger 340 Lauriel property adjacent to the one sold is fully 100% occupied by Correction Canada. I am thinking most of the workers moved from the sold 360 Lauriel  to the bigger 340 Lauriel street. I think the company strictly operates on ...more
