Industrial Portfolio

The following table summarizes the results for FIBRAMQ’s industrial portfolio:

For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, FIBRAMQ’s industrial portfolio delivered NOI of Ps 719.0 million, up 5.5% compared to the prior comparable period. Of note, quarterly revenues reached a new record Ps 787.2 million, up 3.8% compared to the prior comparable period, whilst property level expenses were lower by 11.0% compared to the prior comparable period, primarily due to reduced credit loss expense and higher average occupancy.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, FIBRAMQ’s industrial portfolio delivered NOI of Ps 2,811.7 million, up 2.9% compared to the prior year. Higher occupancy, rental rates and recoveries contributed to record revenues, up 2.2% compared to the prior comparable period. Property level expenses for the full year were lower by 5.0% compared to the prior comparable period, primarily driven by lower repairs and maintenance expenses and lower credit loss expense.

The 2.9% YoY increase in annual NOI demonstrates the strong underlying performance of our industrial portfolio, particularly after taking into account the sale of 35 industrial properties in July 2018, with annual NOI for the industrial portfolio on a same store basis increasing 5.6% compared to the prior comparable period.

The occupancy rate of the industrial portfolio as of December 31, 2019 was 95.9%, up 144 basis points versus the prior comparable quarter. The ongoing level of occupancy for FIBRAMQ’s industrial portfolio reflects healthy market fundamentals and solid leasing results.

FIBRAMQ signed 17 new and renewal leases in the fourth quarter of 2019, comprising 2.2 million square feet of industrial GLA. This included the completion of an industrial development in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, with the entire building comprising 201,000 square feet of GLA being leased upon construction completion to a U.S.-based manufacturer of laser printers and imaging products. In addition, FIBRAMQ continued to experience healthy renewals, achieving a retention rate of 81.0% for the 12 months ending December 31, 2019. FIBRAMQ executed on 15 renewal leases totaling 1.9 million square feet, including a few sizable renewals. Notable renewals included a multinational food manufacturer in Querétaro, which renewed 850k sqft for an additional 10-year term and logistics companies in Puebla and Guadalajara.

Industrial rental rates at the end of the quarter improved 2.9% as compared to rental rates in the prior comparable quarter, to a weighted average of US$4.93 per leased square meter per month. The increase was driven primarily by contractual increases and positive lease renewal spreads.

FIBRAMQ’s industrial portfolio achieved a record full year NOI margin of 91.6%, up 63 basis points versus the prior year. This result was driven by record quarterly revenues, up 2.2% as compared to the prior year, along with lower property-level expenses, down 5.0% from the prior year.

Ciudad Juárez is a core industrial city and it represents FIBRAMQ’s second largest market by GLA, and its portfolio of 34 properties have a year-end occupancy rate of 96.6%, up 90 bps on an annual basis. Supported by these strong fundamentals, FIBRAMQ has begun construction on the second 217,000 square foot building in Ciudad Juárez.

CAPITAL ALLOCATION

FIBRAMQ remains committed to its disciplined approach to capital deployment as well as capital sourcing across property expansions and developments, certificate repurchases for cancellation and repayment of debt.

Property Investments

During the fourth quarter of 2019, FIBRAMQ continued to fund the expansion, development and remodeling projects discussed above. For the full year FIBRAMQ invested approximately US$22.0 million.

Certificate repurchase for cancellation program

FIBRA Macquarie has repurchased a total of 45.7 million certificates, or 5.6% of its market capitalization, since launching the program in June 2017. The weighted average purchase price of Ps 21.34 represents a significant discount to intrinsic value and current trading levels. FIBRA Macquarie has a remaining program capacity of approximately Ps 900 million through to June 25, 2020. All certificates repurchased have or will be cancelled.

DISTRIBUTION

On January 30, 2020, FIBRAMQ declared a cash distribution for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 of Ps 0.4550 per certificate. The distribution is expected to be paid on March 11, 2020 to holders of record on March 10, 2020. FIBRAMQ’s certificates will commence trading ex-distribution on March 9, 2020.

For the full year 2019, FIBRAMQ had distributions of Ps 1.78, which represented an 11.3% increase from the prior year and an AFFO payout ratio of 68.9%.

2020 Guidance

FIBRA Macquarie is introducing its guidance for 2020. FIBRAMQ estimates total AFFO per certificate of between Ps 2.57 and Ps 2.62 for the year.

For full year 2020, FIBRAMQ expects to make cash distributions of approximately Ps 1.90 per certificate, to be paid in equal quarterly payments of Ps 0.475. This represents an annual increase of 6.7% from the prior year, while maintaining a prudent and stable AFFO payout ratio of approximately 73-74%.

This outlook is driven by the following assumptions:

• The cash-generating capacity of its existing portfolio
• An average exchange rate of Ps 19.15 per US dollar
• No new acquisitions or divestments
• No certificate repurchases
• The continued stable performance of the properties in the portfolio, and stable market conditions.

The payment of cash distributions is subject to the approval of the board of directors of the Manager.
