TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Primaris Real Estate Investment Trust (“Primaris” or “the Trust”) (TSX: PMZ.UN) announced today financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.
Quarterly Financial and Operating Results Highlights
- $99.8 million total rental revenue;
- +8.8% Same Properties Cash Net Operating Income** (“Cash NOI”) growth;
- 91.5% committed occupancy and 91.1% in-place occupancy;
- $0.387 Fund from Operations** (“FFO”) per average diluted unit;
- $3.2 billion total assets;
- 52.1% FFO Payout Ratio**;
- 31.5% Debt to Total Assets**;
- $176.0 million in liquidity;
- $2.9 billion in unencumbered assets; and
- $21.49 Net Asset Value** (“NAV”) per unit outstanding.
Annual Financial and Operating Results Highlights
- +10.7% Same Properties Cash NOI** growth;
- $1.580 FFO** per average diluted unit;
- 50.7% FFO Payout Ratio**; and
- 5.0x Average Debt** to Adjusted EBITDA**.
Business Update Highlights
-
Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) activity in 2022 will positively impact 2023:
- NAV** per unit outstanding by $0.82; and
- FFO** per unit outstanding by $0.062 considering the impact of the Units cancelled under the NCIB as the only variable, before considering the cost of capital.
- Including activity under the NCIB to February 28, 2023 total purchases were 4,700,100 Units at an average price of $14.10, or a discount to NAV** of approximately 34.4%.
- Developed a Board-led ESG Strategic Plan aligned to investor focused ESG standards and frameworks. The Plan was developed based on the results of an ESG materiality assessment.
“Enclosed malls across our portfolio continue to experience a significant rebound in tenant sales, with same store sales reaching an all time high,” said Patrick Sullivan, President and Chief Operating Officer. “Throughout the year we made material progress driving in-place occupancy 510 basis points, with contractual rental revenue growth to follow. The vast majority of growth remains to be captured over the next few years as we drive occupancy back to their historical normal levels, and focus on continuing to convert pandemic lease concessions to market rents. As Primaris enters its 20th year in operation, I would like to thank our specialized teams which have been assembled over the past two decades for their dedication. Our people are the core strength of Primaris.”
Chief Financial Officer, Rags Davloor added, “Our differentiated financial model, including very low leverage, a low payout ratio and significant retained free cash flow is a major strategic advantage for Primaris REIT. Keeping in line with best practices and transparency, we are reiterating our target balance sheet metrics for the coming year. Unsecured debt continued to grow as a percentage of total debt, and we finished the year at 78.6%, with unencumbered assets increasing to $2.9 billion, or 92% of our total assets. Looking ahead, we do not have any debt maturing in 2023, reducing refinancing risk and freeing up valuable resources to focus on managing the business and growth opportunities.”
“The past year of strong operating and financial performance has underlined our commitment to, and confidence in our clear, and focused strategy of acquiring, owning and managing Canadian enclosed shopping centres,” said Alex Avery, Chief Executive Officer. “We see a long runway of growth opportunities, spanning occupancy improvement, increasing rental rates, reinvesting to enhance select shopping centres, recycling capital and growing our portfolio through acquisitions. These are reflected in the 2023 guidance. In 2023 we intend to continue to raise awareness about Primaris REIT, demonstrate our ability to transact on properties, continue to execute on capturing our internal NOI growth opportunity, and act in a manner consistent with the best-in-class profile we have created at Primaris.”
2023 Financial Outlook
Disciplined capital allocation is a key pillar to Primaris’ strategy. To this end, Primaris reiterates its established targets for managing the Trust’s financial condition.

In addition to its established targets above, Primaris has provided guidance for the full year of 2023 as follows:
Occupancy: Management anticipates portfolio occupancy to increase 0.8% to 1.0% in 2023.
Rental Revenue: Contractual rent-steps of approximately $2.1 million, or approximately 1.0% of base rent.
Rental Revenue: Straight-line rent to be in the range of $1.8 to $2.2 million.
Same Properties Cash NOI**: Growth in Same Properties Cash NOI** to be between 3.0% to 5.0%. This is lower than the Same Property Cash NOI** growth in 2022 which was the first year following the impacts of the pandemic.
General and Administrative Expenses: Management anticipates general and administrative expenses for the 2023 fiscal year to be approximately $30 million.
Operating Capital Expenditures: Based on historic performance, normalized average operating capital costs per square foot were approximately $2.00 per square foot per year. 2023 operating capital expenditures are anticipated to be in the range of $27.7 million to $31.7 million, or $2.55 to $2.90 per square foot driven by positive absorption as spaces vacated during the pandemic are leased.
Redevelopment Capital Expenditures: In the range of $30 million to $40 million.
Impact of NCIB Activity: Primaris intends to renew its NCIB, subject to TSX review and approval. Primaris continues to believe that, from time to time, the market price for the Units may not fully reflect their intrinsic value, and in such circumstances, using the NCIB to repurchase Units is an attractive use of capital until other investment opportunities are available that meet our disciplined capital allocation approach.
Distributions: Primaris increased the distribution rate from $0.80 to $0.82 per unit per annum, or 2.5%. The rate increase was effective for the distribution declared on December 30, 2022, paid January 16, 2023. Management intends to increase distributions annually.

Operating Results
Same Properties Cash NOI** was $3.1 million, or 8.8% higher, and $14.1 million, or 10.7% higher, for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, respectively, than the same periods of the prior year. The increase was driven by higher Same Properties’ revenues from base rent, percent rent and percent rent in lieu, specialty leasing revenue and net recoveries. Year end results were also impacted by the recovery of prior years’ property tax.
The below table compares the composition of FFO** and AFFO** for the three months ended December 31, 2022 to the prior quarter and calculates the drivers of the quarter over quarter changes.

1 Properties owned throughout the entire 24 months ended December 31, 2022, excluding properties under development or major redevelopment, are referred to as “Same Properties”. Properties acquired during the 24 months ended December 31, 2022 are referred to as “Acquisition Properties”. As at December 31, 2022 the HOOPP Properties are the only acquired properties. |
The $0.024 decrease in quarter over quarter FFO** per unit was driven by $0.020 from timing of general and administrative expenses and $0.019 from net interest and other financing charges, partially offset by $0.009 from NOI** growth and $0.005 from the contribution due to the change in Units outstanding, as a result of NCIB activity. The $0.048 decrease in quarter over quarter AFFO** per unit is driven by the seasonality of recoverable capital projects.
To illustrate the positive impact of the NCIB activity on future results, on a stand-alone basis before considering the cost of capital, the below chart calculates the increase to FFO** and AFFO** per unit as if the Units purchased under the NCIB were cancelled for the entire 2022 year. The number of Units outstanding was the only variable changed in the analysis.

Occupancy and Leasing Results
The in-place occupancy rate of the Acquisition Properties of 88.4% (as defined in the following chart) has risen during 2022, but remains below the portfolio average of 91.1% and represents an opportunity for further organic growth. Of the 5.2% increase in the in-place occupancy rate for the Acquisition Properties during the year ended December 31, 2022, 1.5% can be attributed to leasing activities and 3.7% can be attributed to GLA taken offline as part of re-demising and redevelopment activities.

In the quarter, Primaris completed 132 leasing deals totaling 0.4 million square feet. Overall renewal rents were up 3.5% comprised of commercial retail unit (“CRU”) renewals of 2.3%, and large format renewals of 7.3%.
Included in the leasing activity for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, are 32 and 204, respectively, new leases that were for a lease term of less than one year, or for percentage rent in lieu of base rent. While these lease structures have always been a tool to manage tenant relocations and the timing of development plans, during the pandemic leases structured as percentage rent in lieu of base rent were more prevalent to assist tenants and to maintain occupancy rates. As these leases mature, management anticipates moving tenants back to traditional lease structures.

Liquidity at December 31, 2022 was $176.0 million.
There is no debt maturity in 2023.
Primaris has a NAV** per unit outstanding of $21.49.
On February 27, 2023, Primaris entered into an $85.0 million interest only mortgage with an annual interest rate of 5.516% and an eight-year term improving liquidity and extending the debt maturity profile. The funds were used to repay outstanding amounts on the revolving credit facility. Below are the proforma impacts on liquidity and unencumbered assets:
- liquidity increases to $261 million from $176 million;
- the percentage of fixed rate debt of Total Debt** increases to 79.3% from 70.9%;
- the ratio of secured debt as a percent of Total Debt** increases to approximately 29.8%, still well within the Trust’s target of below 40%;
- unencumbered assets decreases to $2.7 billion or 86.3% of the investment properties;
- unencumbered assets in excess of unsecured debt becomes $2.0 billion; and
- the ratio of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt becomes 3.8x.
