Primaris Retail REIT Announces Record Second Quarter Financial ...

TORONTO, ONTARIO ? (Marketwire) ? 08/07/12 ? Primaris Retail REIT (TSX: PMZ.UN) is pleased to report record second quarter operating results. These results have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (?IFRS?).

President and CEO, John Morrison, commented ?We are very pleased with our reported results which have exceeded the expectations we had last fall. This is the result of strong leasing fundamentals, a reduction in the expected number of store closings, a deferral of certain vacancies until later in 2012 than previously expected, and the receipt of above normal lease termination income. We expect the positive fundamentals will continue for the balance of the year. During the second quarter and through certain third quarter activities to date, we have significantly strengthened the statement of financial position, preparing Primaris for future investment activity and noticeably improving our credit metrics.?

  Highlights  Funds from Operations (FFO)       -  Funds from operations for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012          were $33.4 million, up $11.6 million from the $21.8 million          reported for the second quarter of 2011. On a per unit diluted          basis, funds from operations for the second quarter of 2012 were          $0.376, up $0.076 from the $0.300 reported for the second quarter          of 2011. The second quarter of 2011 was affected by a non-recurring          charge for convertible debentures issuance costs of $3.0 million or          $0.040 per unit diluted. After allowing for this charge, second          quarter FFO grew $0.036 or 10.8% over the comparable amount in          2011.        -  FFO is not a term defined under International Financial Reporting          Standards (IFRS) and may not be comparable to similar measures used          by other Trusts. A reconciliation of net income to FFO is included.  Net Operating Income (NOI)       -  NOI for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012 was $57.7 million,          an increase of $10.2 million from the $47.5 million recorded in the          second quarter of 2011.        -  NOI is not a term defined under IFRS and may not be comparable to          similar measures used by other Trusts. A calculation of NOI is          included.  Same Properties - Net Operating Income       -  NOI for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012, for the properties          held continually for the past twenty-four months, increased 4.7%          from the comparative three month period. Removing the effects of          lease-surrender revenue, net operating income, on a same-property          basis, would be 3.1% higher than the comparative period.  Net Income       -  Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012 was $39.2          million, a decrease of $2.0 million from the $41.2 million recorded          in the second quarter of 2011. The decrease is driven by          fluctuations in the recording of debt instruments at fair value.  Operations       -  Primaris renewed or leased 435,241 square feet of space during the          second quarter. The weighted average new rent in these leases, on a          cash basis, represented a 2.3% increase over the previous rent paid          (5.6% if the major tenants are excluded).        -  The portfolio occupancy for 2012 is relatively stable. It was 97.4%          at June 30, 2012, compared to 96.7% at March 31, 2012, and 95.7% at          June 30, 2011.        -  Same tenant sales per square foot, for the 18 properties owned          during all of the 24 months ended May 31, 2012 was $468, the same          as for the previous 12 months.  Liquidity       -  At June 30, 2012, Primaris had $34.8 million of cash on hand and no          amount drawn on its $100.0 million credit facility.  

Financial Results

FFO for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012 were $334 million, up $11.6 million from the $21.8 million reported for the second quarter of 2011. On a per unit diluted basis, funds from operations for the second quarter of 2012 were $0.376, up $0.076 from the $0.300 reported for the second quarter of 2011. The second quarter of 2011 was affected by a non-recurring charge for convertible debenture issuance costs of $3.0 million or $0.040 per unit diluted. After allowing for this charge, second quarter FFO grew $0.036 or 10.8% over the comparable amount in 2011.

Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012 was $39.2 million, a decrease of $2.0 million from the $41.2 million recorded in the second quarter of 2011. The decrease is driven by fluctuations in the recording of debt instruments at fair value.

The FFO distribution payout ratio for the second quarter of 2012, calculated on a diluted basis, was 81.0% as compared to a 101.4% payout ratio for the second quarter of 2011 and 79.7% for the previous quarter ended March 31, 2012. The payout ratios are sensitive to both seasonal operating results and financial leverage.

At June 30, 2012, Primaris? total enterprise value was approximately $3.7 billion (based on the market closing price of Primaris? units on June 30, 2012 plus total debt outstanding). At June 30, 2012 Primaris had $1,621.4 million of outstanding debt, equating to a debt to total enterprise value ratio of 43.3%. Primaris? debt consisted of $1,415.6 million of fixed-rate senior debt with a weighted average interest rate of 5.4% and a weighted average term to maturity of 5.3 years, no amount drawn on the operating line of credit, $2.3 million of 6.75% fixed-rate convertible debentures, $93.5 million of 5.85% fixed-rate convertible debentures, $35.0 million of 6.30% fixed-rate convertible debentures and $75.0 million of 5.40% fixed-rate convertible debentures.

In July 2012, $13.7 million, at face value, of 6.30% series of convertible debentures was converted to 817,603 units.

On July 18, 2012 Primaris exercised its right to redeem the 5.85% series of convertible debentures. The redemption of the debentures will be effective on August 17, 2012.

Subsequent to June 30, 2012, Primaris waived conditions on a $6,950 purchase of a property adjacent to an existing shopping centre. The purchase will be funded through cash on hand, operating line, and an assumed mortgage of $1,690 with a fixed interest rate of 3.78% which matures December 1, 2014.

Primaris had a debt to total asset ratio of 43.5%. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, Primaris had an interest coverage ratio of 2.5 times as expressed by EBITDA divided by interest expense on mortgages, convertible debentures and bank indebtedness. Primaris defines EBITDA as net income increased by depreciation, finance costs, income tax expense and amortization of leasing costs and straight-line rent. EBITDA is not a term defined under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other Trusts. See below under ?Non-IFRS Measures?.

NOI is not a term defined under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other Trusts. Operating revenue from properties includes an adjustment for amortization of tenant improvement allowances, tenant inducements and straight-line rent to remove non-cash transactions from revenue for the calculation of net operating income. Operating expenses include operating expenses from properties, property taxes and ground rent.

The same-property comparison consists of the 27 properties that were owned throughout both the current and comparative three month periods. NOI, on a same-property basis, increased $2.2 million, or 4.7%, in relation to the comparable three month period. Removing the effects of lease-surrender revenue, net operating income, on a same-property basis, would be $1.4 million or 3.1% higher than the comparative period.

Liquidity

At June 30, 2012, Primaris had $34.8 million of cash on hand and no amount drawn on its $100.0 million credit facility. One mortgage of $21.2 million was repaid when it matured on July 1, 2012.

On June 15, 2012 Primaris entered into a hedge agreement that is scheduled to mature February 1, 2013. The hedge was completed to mitigate the risk of interest rate volatility in anticipation of $125.0 million of new debt to be placed for a 5 year term, principally to repay loans maturing during the first quarter of 2013. Primaris achieved an effective hedge on the five year Government of Canada bond yield of 1.448%, including the cost of the hedge. The credit spread on this anticipated loan is unknown as of June 30, 2012.

Tenant Sales

For the 18 reporting properties owned throughout both the twelve month periods ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, sales per square foot, on a same-tenant basis, was the same at $468 per square foot. For the same 18 properties the all tenant total sales volume has increased 0.9%.

The same tenants? sales per square foot was virtually unchanged, while the national average tenant sales as reported by the International Council of Shopping Centers (?ICSC?) for the 12-month period ended May 31, 2012, increased 2.1%. Primaris? sales productivity of $468 is lower than the ICSC average of $597, largely because the ICSC includes sales from super regional malls that have the highest sales per square foot in the country.

Leasing Activity

Primaris Retail REIT?s property portfolio remains well leased.

The portfolio occupancy rate is relatively stable. It was 97.4% at June 30, 2012, compared to 96.7% at March 31, 2012, and 95.7% at June 30, 2011. These percentages include space for which signed leases are in place but where the tenant may not yet be in occupancy.

Primaris renewed or leased 435,241 square feet of space during the second quarter of 2012. Approximately 74.3% of the leased spaces during the second quarter of 2012 consisted of the renewal of existing tenants. The weighted average new rent in these leases, on a cash basis, represented a 2.3% increase over the previous rent (5.6% if the major tenants are excluded).

At year end, Primaris had a weighted average term to maturity of leases of 5.4 years.

Development Activity

During 2009 and 2011, Primaris completed phases one and two of a three phase redevelopment at Lambton Mall in Sarnia, Ontario.

Work has just begun on the third phase of the Lambton Mall redevelopment. The project involves the redevelopment of the vacant anchor space (approximately 92,000 square feet), formerly occupied by Canadian Tire. Part of the existing building will be demolished and replaced with a new Galaxy Theatre building comprising approximately 32,000 square feet, an approximately 31,000 square foot Sport Chek and 1,000 square feet of commercial retail space. The plan also creates a new mall entrance next to H&M. The project includes the acquisition of the existing 5.9 acre Cineplex property located at 1450 London Road, adjacent to Lambton Mall. Upon opening of the new Galaxy Theatre at Lambton Mall, Cineplex will close its existing theatre. This phase will cost approximately $16 million, including the purchase of 1450 London Road. A spring 2013 opening of both Galaxy and Sport Chek is expected.

A multi-phased redevelopment project is well underway at Grant Park Shopping Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba to accommodate an expanded and repositioned Manitoba Liquor Control Commission (?MLCC?) store. This project also includes the realignment and upgrade of almost 11,500 square feet of common area with new floor and ceiling finishes which has revitalized the west end of the shopping centre. A portion of the exterior of the building and the west mall entrance are also being renovated to provide a marquee entry to the new redevelopment inside. Construction activities commenced in June 2011, with relocated retail tenants opening October 2011, and an end of August 2012 opening for the flagship MLCC. The project is on budget and is expected to cost $6.5 million. This phased redevelopment has already created an additional consumer draw to the centre.

The second phase of the redevelopment at Grant Park comprises a 5,000 square foot expansion of the shopping centre, re-leasing and remerchandising of approximately 23,000 square feet of other retail area, renovation and expansion of washrooms, and upgrade of an additional 5,000 square feet of common area. Landlord pre-construction activities commenced in June 2012. Common area improvements and washroom renovations are expected to be completed by November 2012, and the expansion is expected to open in July 2013. This second phase has a $5.4 million budget.

A freestanding pad development is now complete at Place d?Orleans for a 21,000 square foot Farm Boy, an Ottawa-based specialty grocery retailer. Primaris invested $3.0 million in this project. Farm Boy will act as a driver of mid-week traffic to the mall.

Redevelopment projects will be funded through a combination of cash, draws on the operating line and mortgage refinancing.

Supplemental Information

Primaris? condensed interim consolidated financial statements and Management?s Discussion and Analysis (?MD&A?) for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are available on Primaris? website at www.primarisreit.com.

Forward-Looking Information

The MD&A contains forward-looking information based on management?s best estimates and the current operating environment. These forward-looking statements are related to, but not limited to, Primaris? operations, anticipated financial performance, business prospects and strategies. Forward-looking information typically contains statements with words such as ?anticipate?, ?believe?, ?expect?, ?plan? or similar words suggesting future outcomes. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by such forward-looking statements.

In particular, certain statements in this document discuss Primaris? anticipated outlook of future events. These statements include, but are not limited to:

  (i)     the accretive acquisition of properties and the anticipated extent         of the accretion of any acquisitions, which could be impacted by         demand for properties and the effect that demand has on acquisition         capitalization rates and changes in the cost of capital;  (ii)    reinvesting to make improvements and maintenance to existing         properties, which could be impacted by the availability of labour         and capital resource allocation decisions;  (iii)   generating improved rental income and occupancy levels, which could         be impacted by changes in demand for Primaris' properties, tenant         bankruptcies, the effects of general economic conditions and supply         of competitive locations in proximity to Primaris locations;  (iv)    overall indebtedness levels, which could be impacted by the level of         acquisition activity Primaris is able to achieve and future         financing opportunities;  (v)     tax exempt status, which can be impacted by regulatory changes         enacted by governmental authorities;  (vi)    anticipated distributions and payout ratios, which could be impacted         by capital expenditures, results of operations and capital resource         allocation decisions;  (vii)   the effect that any contingencies could have on Primaris' financial         statements;  (viii)  anticipated replacement of expiring tenancies, which could be         impacted by the effects of general economic conditions and the         supply of competitive locations; and  (ix)    the development of properties which could be impacted by real estate         market cycles, the availability of labour and general economic         conditions.  

Although the forward-looking statements contained in this document are based on what management of Primaris believes are reasonable assumptions, forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties. They should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results and will not necessarily be an accurate indicator of whether or not such results will be achieved. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a number of factors could cause actual future results to differ from targets, expectations or estimates expressed in the forward-looking statements. Material factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making an estimate set out in the forward-looking information may include: a less robust retail environment; relatively stable interest costs; access to equity and debt capital markets to fund, at acceptable costs, the future growth program and to enable Primaris to refinance debts as they mature and the availability of purchase opportunities for growth.

Except as required by applicable law, Primaris undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-IFRS Measures

Funds from operations (?FFO?), net operating income (?NOI?) and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (?EBITDA?) are widely used supplemental measures of a Canadian real estate investment trust?s performance and are not defined under IFRS. Management uses these measures when comparing itself to industry data or others in the marketplace. Primaris? MD&A describes FFO, NOI and EBITDA and provides reconciliations to net income, as defined under IFRS, for FFO and EBITDA. A reconciliation of FFO to net income, as defined by IFRS, and a calculation of NOI also appear at the end of the press release. FFO, NOI and EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net income or other measures that have been calculated in accordance with IFRS and may not be comparable to measures presented by other issuers.
