"DIR's strong second quarter results reflect our recent strategic initiatives as we continue to deliver strong CP NOI and FFO per unit growth," said Brian Pauls, Chief Executive Officer of Dream Industrial REIT. "The Dream Summit JV continues to positively impact our financial results and we are seeing the benefits of the added scale and enhanced market positioning. Our strong and flexible balance sheet, which is further improved by the resumption of our ATM program, allows us to execute on accretive capital deployment opportunities that strengthen the outlook of our business."
ORGANIC GROWTH
- Continued strong leasing momentum at attractive rental spreads - Since the end of Q1 2023, the Trust has transacted approximately 1.4 million square feet of leases across our portfolio at an average spread of 47% over prior or expiring rents.
- In Canada, the Trust signed 951,500 square feet of leases, achieving an average spread to expiry of 60.8% and an annual contractual rent growth of over 4%.
- In Europe, the Trust signed 427,000 square feet of leases at an average spread of 4%. All of the leases are fully indexed to local consumer price indices ("CPI") or have contractual rent steps of 2%.
Since the closing of the Dream Summit JV transaction, the Trust has successfully integrated Dream Summit's operations with the Trust's operating platform and completed or finalized terms on over one million square feet of new leases and renewals at an average spread of approximately 125% over prior and expiring rents.
- Solid pace of CP NOI (constant currency basis)(1) growth - CP NOI (constant currency basis) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $78.5 million and $151.7 million, respectively. For the same periods in 2022, CP NOI (constant currency basis) was $70.5 million and $135.1 million, respectively. This represents an increase of 11.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 12.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the prior year comparative periods.
The Canadian portfolio posted a year-over-year CP NOI (constant currency basis) growth of 12.1%, driven by 19.4%, 8.5% and 4.9% CP NOI growth in Ontario, Québec and Western Canada, respectively.
Year-over-year CP NOI (constant currency basis) growth in Ontario was primarily driven by increasing rental spreads on new and renewed leases and the lease-up of our completed expansion in the Greater Toronto Area ("GTA") which increased the average in-place base rent by 14.6%, along with a 20 basis points ("bps") increase in average occupancy.
In Québec, year-over-year CP NOI (constant currency basis) growth was driven primarily by higher rents and two completed expansions in the Greater Montreal Area.
In Europe, the lease-up of an expansion at our properties in Dresden, Germany, and The Hague, Netherlands, in addition to CPI indexation, led to a 7.5% and 8.2% increase in in-place base rent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, which drove year-over-year CP NOI (constant currency basis) growth of 11.4% and 11.9%, respectively.
- In-place and committed occupancy - The Trust's in-place and committed occupancy remained strong at 98.0%, compared to 98.6% as at March 31, 2023. The Trust has approximately 4% of its portfolio's GLA maturing in 2023, including over 0.7 million square feet in Ontario and Québec, providing the Trust with significant opportunities to capture rent increases in these markets.
- Continued growth in net rental income for the quarter and year-to-date - Net rental income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $83.0 million and $164.5 million, respectively, representing an increase of $14.3 million, or 20.8%, and $30.5 million, or 22.7%, relative to the prior year comparative periods. Year-over-year net rental income increased by 24.4% in Ontario, 14.2% in Québec, 2.6% in Western Canada and 24.6% in Europe, excluding disposed investment properties. The increase was mainly driven by strong comparative properties NOI (constant currency basis) growth in 2023 and 2022, and the impact of acquired investment properties in the past year.
INVESTMENT UPDATE
The Trust continues to evaluate investments that meet its objective of improving the cash flow growth profile and overall quality of the portfolio, while preserving balance sheet flexibility. The Dream Summit JV provides a new source of growth capital for the Trust to pursue strategic acquisitions and significantly boosts the Trust's property management and leasing fee stream.
During the quarter, the Dream Summit JV acquired a 26-acre site located in the GTA, in close proximity to the QEW and Highway 403, which should allow for the development of over 380,000 square feet of industrial product. Subsequent to the quarter, two additional assets were acquired by the Dream Summit JV in the GTA West sub-market, including a 21-acre land parcel leased for outside storage in Caledon, and a 150,000 square foot income-producing property in Brampton.
Additionally, the Dream Summit JV is in exclusive negotiations or under contract to acquire six assets located in the GTA totalling 0.9 million square feet.
In total, the Trust's equity investment to fund these acquisitions is expected to be approximately $25 million. Combined with the associated property management and leasing income, the Trust expects the income-producing assets to generate a going-in yield on equity in excess of 7.5% with further upside as the Trust estimates current market rents to be approximately 40% higher than in-place rents.
DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
The Trust's development pipeline provides a significant opportunity to add high-quality assets in core markets at attractive economics to the Trust. The Trust has approximately 3.0 million square feet of development projects that are either currently underway or in planning stages.
- Over the past 12 months, the Trust has completed and substantially completed approximately 0.9 million square feet of development projects across Canada and Europe at an unlevered yield of 7.5%. During the quarter, the Trust substantially completed the Trust's inaugural 154,000 square foot greenfield development in Caledon and remains on track to generate an unlevered yield on cost of over 7%.
- The Trust currently has an additional 1.7 million square feet of projects underway across Canada including the Trust's share of projects held in our development joint venture (the "Development JV"). With a total expected cost of approximately $359 million (estimated costs to completion of $226 million), the Trust expects unlevered yield on development cost of approximately 6.4% upon completion. The Trust expects these projects to be completed in the next 12 to 24 months.
"Our high-quality portfolio continues to produce double-digit organic NOI growth with a strong runway for further growth," said Alexander Sannikov, President and Chief Operating Officer of Dream Industrial REIT. "Our growing private capital partnerships as well as our development and value-add projects are increasingly contributing to our results and enhancing our overall business. With one of the largest industrial platforms in the country, we are focused on providing best-in-class service to our customers and surfacing value from our significant footprint."
CAPITAL STRATEGY
The Trust continues to maintain significant financial flexibility as it executes on its strategy to grow and upgrade portfolio quality. During the quarter, €106 million of European mortgages matured and were temporarily refinanced using the Trust's unsecured revolving credit facility. The Trust has executed a non-binding term sheet with an existing relationship lender for approximately €110 million in new financing to replace these matured mortgages. In addition, the Trust has executed a non-binding term sheet for a new €40 million mortgage financing in Germany and a binding term sheet for a €70 million refinancing to address the remaining 2023 mortgage maturities. Based on current interest rates, the Trust expects a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.8% on these mortgages.
The Trust's proportion of secured debt(16) is 4.6% of total assets and represents approximately 13% of total debt(17), compared to 7.6% and 25.2% one year ago, respectively. The Trust's unencumbered asset pool(11) totalled $5.9 billion as at June 30, 2023, representing approximately 86% of the Trust's investment properties value as at June 30, 2023.
The Trust ended Q2 2023 with available liquidity(12) of $243 million, and an additional $250 million that could be exercised through the accordion on its unsecured credit facility.
Subsequent to the quarter-end, the Trust resumed its at-the-market program ("ATM"). Since June 30, 2023, the Trust has issued 3.7 million units at an average price of $14.28 for total proceeds of $52.5 million. Proceeds were utilized to reduce the existing balance on the Trust's credit facility which bore interest at a rate of just under 7%, and lowered the Trust's net total debt-to-total assets (net of cash and cash equivalents) ratio by nearly 70 basis points.
"We continue to focus on maintaining a strong and flexible balance sheet with ample liquidity as we execute on our strategic initiatives," said Lenis Quan, Chief Financial Officer of Dream Industrial REIT. "We have recently raised $52 million through our ATM Program and used the proceeds to repay debt in the near term which was accretive to cash flows and lowered leverage by nearly 70 bps. This has enhanced the strength and flexibility of the balance sheet, creating additional capacity to fund strategic acquisitions, our private market joint ventures as well as our development and solar program."
