TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 03/07/13 -- Primaris Retail REIT (TSX: PMZ.UN) is pleased to report fourth quarter operating results for the period ending December 31, 2012. 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 strong operating results for the 2012 fourth quarter and calendar year. Operating FFO per unit showed 5% growth over the fourth quarter of 2011, after adjusting for the dilution from our equity offering, debt retirement fees, and the material non-recurring charges related to an unsolicited takeover bid recorded in 2012. Our tenant sales trend has turned positive, having begun the year in negative territory. The portfolio occupancy rate improved throughout the year contributing to the excellent financial results. These strong results are directly attributable to the passionate and dedicated team at Primaris.
"As announced on February 5, 2013, Primaris has entered into an Arrangement Agreement and various conditional sales agreements whereby the assets of Primaris will be purchased by a KingSett Capital-led consortium and H&R REIT, and Primaris will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of H&R REIT. These transactions are subject to many conditions more fully described in a circular dated February 19, 2013. The circular is available on SEDAR and on Primaris' website."
Bill Biggar, chair of the Independent Committee of the Primaris board of trustees, commented "The board strongly endorses these transactions and encourages Unitholders to vote in favour of the transactions at the Unitholders' meeting on March 22, 2013."
Highlights
Funds from Operations (FFO)
-- FFO for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 was $29.7 million, down $5.0
million from the $34.7 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2011.
On a per unit diluted basis, FFO for the fourth quarter of 2012 was
$0.307, down $0.100 from the $0.407 reported in the same quarter of
2011.
-- FFO includes $10.5 million of non-recurring charges related to a
takeover. When these takeover charges are excluded, Operating FFO for
the fourth quarter is $0.415 per unit on a diluted basis. This is an
increase of $0.008 from the fourth quarter results of 2011. Operating
FFO for the three months and year ended December 31, 2012 also included
a charge for early debt repayment of $0.9 million. There was no similar
charge in the prior periods.
-- FFO for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $132.1 million, up $21.3
million from the $110.8 million reported for the prior year. On a per
diluted unit basis, FFO for the 2012 year was $1.439, as compared to the
$1.415 for the prior year.
-- Operating FFO on a per unit diluted basis for the year ended December
31, 2012 was $1.549, up $0.098 from the $1.451 result of the 2011 year
end.
-- FFO, and Operating FFO, are not terms defined under IFRS and may not be
comparable to similar measures used by other Trusts. A reconciliation of
net income to FFO and Operating FFO is included.
Net Operating Income (NOI)
-- NOI for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 was $63.9 million, an
increase of $4.6 million from the $59.3 million recorded in the fourth
quarter of 2011.
-- NOI for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $237.8 million, an increase
of $29.5 million from the $208.3 million recorded in 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 fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012, for the 32
properties held continually for the past 24 months, increased 4.0% from
the comparative three month period.
-- NOI for the year ended December 31, 2012, for the 27 properties held
continually for the past 24 months, increased $7.8 million or 4.2% from
2011. Lease surrender revenue in 2012 was considerably higher than 2011.
Removing the effects of lease-surrender revenue in 2012, NOI would be
3.1% higher than the comparative year.
Net Income
-- Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 was $61.1 million, a
decrease of $95.3 million from the $156.4 million recorded in the fourth
quarter of 2011. The decrease is driven by fluctuations in the recording
of investment properties at fair value and one time takeover expenses.
-- Net income for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $266.4 million, an
increase of $34.6 million from the $231.8 million recorded in 2012.
Again, the change is principally due to the fluctuations in the fair
values of investment properties.
Operations
-- During the fourth quarter of 2012, Primaris leased 340,492 square feet
comprised of 240,347 square feet to 112 smaller tenants and the
remainder to three major and anchor tenants. Approximately 53.6% of the
space leased during the current quarter of 2012 resulted from the
renewal of existing tenants (53.5% if the major tenants are excluded).
The weighted average new rent for renewals of existing tenants in the
current quarter, on a cash basis, represented an 11.1% increase over the
previous rent (9.3% if the major tenants are excluded).
-- During 2012, Primaris leased 1,828,283 square feet comprised of 895,460
square feet to 514 smaller tenants and the remainder to 17 major and
anchor tenants. Approximately 67.8% of the space leased during the 2012
year resulted from the renewal of existing tenants (65.5% if the major
tenants are excluded). The weighted average new rent for renewals of
existing tenants in the year, on a cash basis, represented a 6.0%
increase over the previous rent (7.8% if the major tenants are
excluded).
-- The portfolio occupancy improved through 2012. It was 97.7% at December
31, 2012, compared to 97.5%% at September 30, 2012, and 97.1% at
December 31, 2011.
-- For the 18 reporting properties owned throughout both twelve month
periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, sales per square foot, on a
same-tenant basis, have increased to $475 per square foot, from $471 in
the prior year.
Liquidity
-- At December 31, 2012, Primaris had $45.6 cash on hand and $45.0 million
drawn on its $100 million credit facility. At December 31, 2012 Primaris
had drawn on its operating line to have cash on hand to repay mortgages
maturing January 1, 2013.
Financial Results
FFO for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 was $29.7 million, down $5.0 million from the $34.7 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2011. On a per unit diluted basis, FFO for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $0.307, down $0.100 from the $0.407 reported for the fourth quarter of 2011.
FFO, for the three months ended December 31, 2012, includes material non-recurring charges related to a takeover. When these charges are excluded, Operating FFO for the fourth quarter is $0.415 per unit on a diluted basis. This is an increase of $0.008 from the fourth quarter results of 2011.
FFO for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $132.1 million, up $21.3 million from the $110.8 million reported for the prior year. On a per diluted unit basis, FFO for the 2012 year was $1.439, as compared to the $1.415 for the prior year.
Operating FFO on a per unit diluted basis for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $1.549, up $0.098 from the 2011 year end Operating FFO of $1.451.
Operating FFO for the three months and year ended December 31, 2012 included a charge for early debt repayment of $0.9 million. There was no similar charge in the prior periods.
Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 was $61.1 million, a decrease of $95.3 million from the $156.4 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011. The decrease is driven by fluctuations in the recording of investment properties at fair value and one time takeover expenses.
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $266.4 million, an increase of $34.6 million from the $231.8 million recorded in 2012. Again, the change is principally due to the fluctuations in the fair values of investment properties.
The Operating FFO distribution payout ratio for the fourth quarter of 2012, calculated on a diluted basis, was 73.5% as compared to a 74.9% payout ratio for the fourth quarter of 2011 and 79.6% for the previous quarter ended September 30, 2012. The payout ratios are sensitive to both seasonal operating results and financial leverage.
The Operating FFO distribution ratio for the 2012 year was 78.7% as compared to an 84.0% payout ratio for 2011.
At December 31, 2012, Primaris' total enterprise value was approximately $4.4 billion (based on the market closing price of Primaris' units on December 31, 2012 plus total debt outstanding). At December 31, 2012 Primaris had $1,727.4 million of outstanding debt, equating to a debt to total enterprise value ratio of 39.0%. Primaris' debt consisted of $1,589.2 million of fixed-rate senior debt with a weighted average interest rate of 5.1% and a weighted average term to maturity of 6.0 years, $45.0 million drawn on the operating line of credit, and $93.2 million of fixed-rate convertible debentures.
Primaris had a debt to total asset ratio of 40.8% at December 31, 2012. During the three months ended December 31, 2012, Primaris had an interest coverage ratio of 2.4 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. This coverage ratio would have been 2.9 times if not for the takeover costs incurred during the fourth quarter of 2012. 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".

Primaris' sales productivity of $475 is lower than the ICSC average of $596, 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 improved through the year. It was 97.7% at December 31, 2012, compared to 97.5% at September 30, 2012, and 97.1 % at December 31, 2011. These percentages include space for which signed leases are in place, but where the tenant may not yet be in occupancy.
During the fourth quarter of 2012, Primaris leased 340,492 square feet comprised of 240,347 square feet to 112 smaller tenants and the remainder to three major and anchor tenants. Approximately 53.6% of the space leased during the current quarter of 2012 resulted from the renewal of existing tenants (53.5% if the major tenants are excluded). The weighted average new rent for renewals of existing tenants in the current quarter, on a cash basis, represented an 11.1% increase over the previous rent (9.3% if the major tenants are excluded).
During 2012, Primaris leased 1,828,283 square feet comprised of 895,460 square feet to 514 smaller tenants and the remainder to 17 major and anchor tenants. Approximately 67.8% of the space leased during the 2012 year resulted from the renewal of existing tenants (65.5% if the major tenants are excluded). The weighted average new rent for renewals of existing tenants in the year, on a cash basis, represented a 6.0% increase over the previous rent (7.8% if the major tenants are excluded).
At December 31, 2012, Primaris had a weighted average term to maturity of leases of 5.3 years.
With respect to the four remaining Zellers' leases in Primaris' portfolio, two now terminate on April 30, 2013, the third terminates on June 30, 2013 and the fourth expires naturally on March 31, 2013. Our leasing and development teams are already at work on plans to make the most of the opportunity to bring new brands to the properties.
Development Activity
During 2009 and 2011, Primaris completed phases one and two of a three phase redevelopment at Lambton Mall in Sarnia, Ontario.
Work is well underway 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 was demolished and will be replaced with a new Galaxy Theatre building comprising approximately 32,000 square feet, a Sport Chek which will occupy approximately 31,000 square feet 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. With the opening of the new Galaxy Theatre at Lambton Mall, Cineplex will close its existing theatre. This phase will cost approximately $16,000, including the purchase of 1450 London Road. A spring 2013 opening of both the Galaxy Theatre and the Sport Chek is expected.
The second phase of a 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 September 2012. Common area improvements and washroom renovations are expected to be completed by spring 2013, and the expansion is expected to open in July 2013. This second phase has a $5,400 budget.
A 12,000 square foot freestanding pad development at Tecumseh Mall, in Windsor, Ontario, was turned over to the LCBO for fixturing on October 31, 2012, on time and under budget. The LCBO plans to open in spring 2013. Primaris invested $3.3 million in this project.
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 months and year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 are available on Primaris' website at www.primarisreit.com.
About Primaris
Primaris is a TSX listed real estate investment trust (TSX: PMZ.UN). Primaris owns 35 income-producing properties comprising approximately 14.7 million square feet located in Canada. As of February 28, 2013, Primaris had 100,743,915 units issued and outstanding (including 2,122,261 exchangeable units for which units have yet to be issued).
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;
(ix) the development of properties which could be impacted by real estate
market cycles, the availability of labour and general economic
conditions; and
(x) the anticipated outcome of the Primaris Unitholder vote on the
amended and restated Arrangement Agreement with H&R Real Estate
Investment Trust and H&R Finance Trust and an asset purchase
agreement with members of the KingSett Capital-led Consortium.
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.
