TORONTO, Nov. 14, 2022 /CNW/ - H&R Real Estate Investment Trust ("H&R" or "the REIT") (TSX: HR.UN) announces its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- 11.5% growth in Same-Property net operating income (cash basis)(1) compared to Q3 2021;
- Net operating income per the REIT's Financial Statements decreased by 18.6% compared to Q3 2021 primarily due to the spin-off of Primaris REIT and property dispositions during the 21‐month period ended September 30, 2022;
- $455.4 million in property dispositions at the REIT's proportionate share(1) comprised of:
- 15 properties totalling $406.1 million sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2022; and
- Three properties totalling $49.3 million sold in October 2022;
- 22.9 million Units of the REIT ("Units") have been repurchased since January 1, 2022 for a total cost of $297.1 million, at a weighted average price of $12.99 per Unit, representing an approximate 42.5% discount to Net Asset Value ("NAV") per Unit(3);
- 3.0 million Units were repurchased during the quarter for a total cost of $38.3 million, at a weighted average price of $12.91 per Unit, representing an approximate 42.8% discount to NAV per Unit(3).
- $22.58 NAV per Unit(3) at September 30, 2022, an increase of $0.44 from June 30, 2022; primarily due to the stronger U.S. dollar and the repurchase of Units offset by $307.2 million unfavourable fair value adjustments;

"H&R's third quarter results highlight the quality of our properties and the embedded growth that we are surfacing as a result of the increasing focus on higher growth assets," said Tom Hofstedter, H&R's Chief Executive Officer. "The distribution increase is supported by our strong year to date performance and outlook for the future.

Property Dispositions
2022 property sales to date at the REIT's proportionate share total $455.4 million, including 100 Wynford Drive in Toronto, ON ("100 Wynford").
On August 31, 2022, H&R completed the sale of two Canadian office properties including 100 Wynford, and two Canadian retail properties for gross proceeds of $167.8 million at a weighted average capitalization rate of 6.9%.
H&R has the option to repurchase 100 Wynford for approximately $159.7 million in 2036 or earlier under certain circumstances. Due to the repurchase option in favour of H&R, the transaction did not meet the criteria of a transfer of control under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15"). As such, 100 Wynford will continue to be recorded as an income producing property in the statements of financial position, with proceeds received from the sale recorded as deferred revenue and amortized over the term of the lease with Bell Canada. In Q3 2021, H&R submitted an Employment Conversion Request to the City of Toronto for 100 Wynford. Given the property's proximity to two future transit lines (the Eglinton LRT and the Ontario Line), H&R believes there is an opportunity for future redevelopment of the existing parking lot into a multi-phased project that introduces residential uses. H&R envisions a land use conversion from the existing Employment Land designation to Mixed Use designation, similar to the process undertaken at a nearby property at the intersection of Don Mills Road and Eglinton Avenue East formerly owned by Celestica Inc.
Subsequent to September 30, 2022, H&R sold two automotive-tenanted retail properties in Arizona totaling 25,309 square feet for U.S. $17.0 million at a weighted average capitalization rate of 5.8%. In addition, H&R sold a 123,000 square foot single tenanted office property in Burlington, ON for $26.0 million. Prior to the sale, H&R received a $2.3 million lease termination fee in Q3 2022 and the property was vacant as at September 30, 2022. H&R chose to sell this property to an end user given the size of the building and its unique usage for flex-office space in a suburban market
Leasing
H&R has leased approximately 76.7% of the office space at River Landing Commercial in Miami, FL. The two major tenants are: (i) the Office of the State Attorney, Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Miami-Dade County, whose lease commenced in October 2022 and is occupying 49,379 square feet; and (ii) Public Health Trust of Miami-Dade County, whose lease is expected to commence in Q1 2023 and will occupy 63,007 square feet.
In Q3 2022, H&R entered into a lease amendment with Bell Canada to terminate their lease at 200 Bouchard Boulevard, Montreal, QC in December 2026. The previous lease term would have ended in April 2036. H&R will receive a lease termination fee of approximately $70.0 million in 2026. The terms of the rental payments to 2026 have not changed. IFRS 16 Leases ("IFRS 16") requires revenue from leases to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the lease. As a result of this lease amendment, a non-cash adjustment to straight-lining of contractual rent of approximately $3.5 million was recorded in Q3 2022 and will continue to be recorded every quarter until the end of the lease. This resulted in a $3.5 million increase to net operating income and FFO. Same-Property net operating income (cash basis) and AFFO were not impacted as H&R deducts non-cash items, including straight-lining of contractual rent, in calculating these amounts. H&R is working with the city of Montreal as they update their master plan, and has provided a plan to convert this existing office property into approximately 850 residential units resulting in approximately 1.1 million square feet of new residential development. These plans will continue to evolve, along with the City's master plan, with a targeted approval date of Q1 2024.
Development Update
Canadian Properties under Development
In September 2022, two Canadian properties under development in the REIT's industrial business park in Caledon, ON were substantially completed and transferred to investment properties. 34 Speirs Giffen Avenue totalling 105,014 square feet, has been leased to Lindstrom Fastener (Canada) Ltd. for a term of 10 years and the lease will commence in December 2022. As at September 30, 2022, 34 Speirs Giffen Avenue, was valued at approximately $29.3 million compared to costs incurred of approximately $16.6 million, resulting in a fair value increase of approximately $12.7 million since the start of the project. 140 Speirs Giffen Avenue, totalling 77,754 square feet, has been leased to Coast Holding Limited Partnership for a term of 10 years and the lease will commence in December 2022. As at September 30, 2022, 140 Speirs Giffen. Avenue, was valued at approximately $35.6 million compared to costs incurred of approximately $14.8 million, resulting in a fair value increase of approximately $20.8 million since the start of the project. This now completes the first phase of H&R's Caledon industrial park.
The REIT currently has two industrial properties under development located at 1965 Meadowvale Boulevard and 1925 Meadowvale Boulevard in Mississauga, ON, totalling 336,800 square feet, which are expected to be completed in 2023. The total development budget to complete these two properties is approximately $57.9 million. Subsequent to September 30, 2022, H&R entered into a binding agreement with Armour Transport Inc. to fully lease 1965 Meadowvale Boulevard, totalling 187,290 square feet, for a term of 10 years at current market rents with annual contractual rental escalations.
U.S. Properties under Development
The REIT has commenced construction on two U.S. residential development properties in 2022. The total development budget to complete these two properties is approximately U.S. $176.6 million. The REIT expects its construction costs for these two properties under development to be approximately U.S. $11.7 million for the balance of 2022 and U.S. $117.1 million in 2023.
Future Intensification
In July 2022, the City of Toronto adopted the final report recommending approval of the rezoning application for 145 Wellington St. W., which provides for the re-development of the current 13-storey office property into a 60-storey mixed-use property consisting of 512 residential units, 149,000 square feet of office space and 1,000 square feet of retail space.
In September 2022, H&R submitted a combined Official Plan Amendment and Rezoning Application for 69 Yonge Street in Toronto, ON for adaptive reuse of this 15-storey heritage building. The existing building will be retained in its entirety, with additional floor area added to all existing floors as well as a new 5-storey addition on the roof. The existing office use will be replaced by residential uses, the existing grade related retail space will be retained and new retail space will be added below grade. Overall, H&R expects to receive approval for approximately 125 residential units encompassing approximately 125,000 square feet.

2022 SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION
The REIT also announced today that it has declared a special distribution of $0.40 per Unit. The distribution will be payable in Units ($0.35 per Unit) and cash ($0.05 per Unit) to Unitholders of record as at December 30, 2022.
The special distribution is principally being made to distribute to Unitholders the taxable income realized by the REIT from transactions completed during the year ended December 31, 2022. The REIT is making the special distribution payable partially in cash and partially in Units, in order to provide Unitholders with cash to help fund any additional tax that may arise associated with the special distribution.
Immediately following the special distribution, the outstanding Units of the REIT will be consolidated such that each Unitholder will hold, after the consolidation, the same number of Units as such Unitholder held before the special distribution. The amount of the special distribution payable in Units will increase the tax cost basis of Unitholders' consolidated Units. The remaining portion of the special distribution will be paid in cash on January 16, 2023.
The REIT cautions that the foregoing comments are not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or tax advice to any Unitholder. The REIT recommends that Unitholders consult their own tax advisors regarding the income tax consequences to them of this anticipated special distribution and related Unit consolidation.
2023 DISTRIBUTION INCREASE
The REIT is pleased to announce that it intends to increase its monthly distributions to $0.05 per Unit commencing in January 2023. This amounts to $0.60 per Unit annually, a 9.1% increase from the current annual amount of $0.55 per Unit.

Material factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making an estimate set out in the forward‐looking statements include that the general economy is gradually recovering as a result of the COVID‐19 pandemic, the extent and duration of which is unknown; debt markets continue to provide access to capital at a reasonable cost, notwithstanding the ongoing economic downturn; and assumptions concerning currency exchange and interest rates. Additional risks and uncertainties include, among other things, risks related to: disease outbreaks and COVID‐19; real property ownership; the current economic environment; credit risk and tenant concentration; lease rollover risk; interest rate and other debt‐related risk; development risks; residential rental risk; currency risk; capital expenditures risk; liquidity risk; cyber security risk; financing credit risk; environmental and climate change risk; general uninsured losses; co‐ownership interest in properties; joint arrangement and investment risks; dependence on key personnel; potential acquisition, investment and disposition opportunities and joint venture arrangements; potential undisclosed liabilities associated with acquisitions; competition for real property investments; potential conflicts of interest; Unit price risk; availability of cash for distributions and investment; credit ratings; ability to access capital markets; tax risk; additional tax risks applicable to unitholders; dilution; unitholder liability; redemption right risk; investment eligibility; risks relating to debentures and the inability of the REIT to purchase senior debentures on a change of control; and statutory remedies. H&R cautions that these lists of factors, risks and uncertainties are not exhaustive. Although the forward‐looking statements contained in this news release are based upon what H&R believes are reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that actual results will be consistent with these forward‐looking statements.
Readers are also urged to examine H&R's materials filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities from time to time as they may contain discussions on risks and uncertainties which could cause the actual results and performance of H&R to differ materially from the forward‐looking statements contained in this news release. All forward‐looking statements contained in this news release are qualified by these cautionary statements. These forward‐looking statements are made as of November 14, 2022 and the REIT, except as required by applicable Canadian law, assumes no obligation to update or revise them to reflect new information or the occurrence of future events or circumstances.
Non‐GAAP Measures
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the REIT and related notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 (the "REIT's Financial Statements") were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. However, H&R's management uses a number of measures, including NAV per Unit, FFO, AFFO, payout ratio as a % of FFO, payout ratio as a % of AFFO and debt to total assets at the REIT's proportionate share, Same‐Property net operating income (cash basis) and the REIT's proportionate share, which do not have meanings recognized or standardized under IFRS or Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). These non‐GAAP measures and non‐GAAP ratios should not be construed as alternatives to financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Further, H&R's method of calculating these supplemental non‐GAAP measures and ratios may differ from the methods of other real estate investment trusts or other issuers, and accordingly may not be comparable. H&R uses these measures to better assess H&R's underlying performance and provides these additional measures so that investors may do the same.
For information on the most directly comparable GAAP measures, composition of the measures, a description of how the REIT uses these measures and an explanation of how these measures provide useful information to investors, refer to the "Non‐GAAP Measures" section of the REIT's management discussion and analysis as at and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, available at www.hr‐reit.com and on the REIT's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, which is incorporated by reference into this news release.

H&R's current monthly distribution is $0.0458 per Unit, which increased from $0.0433 per Unit in May 2022. Following the Primaris Spin-Off on December 31, 2021, Primaris REIT announced a monthly distribution of $0.067 per Primaris REIT unit, reflecting $0.80 per Primaris REIT unit on an annualized basis (equivalent to $0.20 per Unit annually prior to the Primaris Spin-Off and 4:1 consolidation of Primaris REIT units). The Primaris REIT distribution, together with H&R's intended annual distribution for 2022 of $0.54 per Unit equates to a combined distribution of $0.74 per Unit for those investors that held Units as at December 31, 2021 and continue to hold both their Units and Primaris REIT units, which is a 7.2% increase over the $0.69 per Unit paid by H&R in 2021.
