Nexus Industrial REIT Announces Fourth Quarter and Year End 2024 Financial Results

Finanznachrichten News

Q4 Net Operating Income grew 10.0% from accretive acquisitions, development, and 5.1% industrial SPNOI

Advanced the strategic transition to a pure-play industrial REIT

TORONTO, March 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nexus Industrial REIT (the "REIT") (TSX: NXR.UN) announced today its results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.

"2024 was a formative year for Nexus Industrial, and I am very pleased with the results. We executed a purposeful strategic re-shaping, focusing our business as the Canada-focused pure-play industrial REIT. We made significant future investments, while also delivering strong organic growth", said Kelly Hanczyk, CEO.

"During the year we opportunistically sold our legacy office and non-core industrial properties, and have firm sales contracts for the majority of the retail portfolio, closing in March. We completed three development projects adding 500,000 sq ft of GLA and have advanced two more which will be finished mid this year. Combined, these five new developments will contribute over $13 million to NOI annually.

"Our industrial portfolio has continued to deliver strong results growing NOI 12.4% for the year to a record of $126 million, and full-year SPNOI growth was an enviable 4.7%", continued Mr. Hanczyk.

"I am very excited with the progress that we have made, and I am confident that our strategy will continue to be meaningful and rewarding for our stakeholders."

  • Further advanced towards a pure-play industrial REIT by selling 3 legacy office properties, a mixed-use industrial property, and four non-core industrial buildings for total proceeds of $48.2 million.

Non-IFRS Measures

Included in the tables above and elsewhere in this news release are non-IFRS financial measures that should not be construed as an alternative to net income / loss, cash from operating activities or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures as reported by other issuers. Certain additional disclosures for these non-IFRS financial measures have been incorporated by reference and can be found on page 3 in the REIT's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2024, available on SEDAR at www.sedarplus.ca and on the REIT's website under Investor Relations. See Appendix A of this earnings release for a reconciliation of the non-IFRS financial measures to the primary financial statement measures.

NOI

NOI for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $32.1 million or $2.9 million higher than Q4 2023, which was primarily due to $1.6 million from acquisitions of industrial income producing properties completed subsequent to Q3 2023, Same Property NOI of $1.2 million from lease up of 1751-1771 Savage Rd, Richmond, BC, $0.5 million relating to development projects and $0.2 million relating to straight-line adjustments of rent, partially offset by $0.5 million relating to dispositions completed since Q4 2023 and $0.1 million relating to tenant incentives and leasing costs amortization.

NOI for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $125.9 million or $13.9 million higher than the prior year, which was primarily due to $11.8 million from acquisitions of industrial income producing properties completed subsequent to Q4 2023, an increase in Same Property NOI of $3.3 million, and $0.9 million relating to development projects, partially offset by $1.8 million relating to dispositions completed since Q4 2023, and $0.3 million relating to tenant incentives and leasing costs amortization.

Fair value adjustment of investment properties

The fair value adjustment of investment properties for the three months ended December 31, 2024, totalled $8.1 million. The REIT engaged external appraisers to value properties totaling $125.6 million in the quarter. Overall, fair value gains recorded for the REIT's portfolio primarily consists of $13.4 million relating to properties held for development based on development progress relative to the as-completed appraisal value. Partially offsetting this is $3.0 million of capital expenditures that were not deemed to increase the fair value of the properties and therefore fair valued to zero, $1.7 million relating to investment property sale price adjustments and $0.7 million relating to changes in stabilized NOI and capitalization rates.

The fair value adjustment of investment properties for the year ended December 31, 2024, totalled $47.9 million. The fair value adjustment reflects the net write up of income properties primarily due to $35.7 million in respect of properties held for development, $22.3 million relating to changes in stabilized NOI and capitalization rates, $2.4 million relating to fair value gains from the sale of an excess land at Fort St-John, BC, and $1.4 million from the remeasurement of Class B LP Units issued as part of an acquisition in Q3 2024. Partially offsetting this is $8.2 million of capital expenditures that were not deemed to increase the fair value of the properties and therefore fair valued to zero, $3.9 million relating to revaluation adjustments to investment properties prior to disposition, and $1.7 million of transaction costs from acquisitions completed during the year.

Outlook

The REIT is focused on delivering total unitholder return through profitable long-term growth, and by pursuing its strategy as a Canada-focused pure-play industrial REIT.

Overall, the REIT anticipates mid-single digit Same Property NOI growth in its industrial portfolio for the full year.

In 2025, the REIT expects to benefit from the completion of two significant development projects. Combined, these properties will add annual stabilized NOI of approximately $6.8 million when complete:

  • The REIT expects to complete its 325,000 sq ft Dennis Rd. expansion project in St. Thomas, ON in the second quarter of 2025. This project is being constructed for an existing tenant. The REIT earns 7.8% on capital expenditures during the construction phase, and will earn a contractual going-in yield of 9.0% on the total development costs of $54.9 million upon completion.
  • The REIT is constructing a 115,000 sq ft small-bay industrial building adjacent to an existing building that it owns in Calgary, AB. The project is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2025 and to earn a going-in yield of 12.0% on total development costs of $15.4 million.

The REIT is focused on transitioning to a pure-play industrial REIT. The REIT has executed firm contracts to sell its legacy retail properties for approximately $47 million, which are anticipated to close in the first quarter of 2025. Following the dispositions, the REIT will no longer earn income from the sold properties. The REIT will use the sale proceeds to reduce debt and to fund existing development.

(1)Adjustment for equity accounted joint venture relates to a fair value adjustment of swaps in place at the joint venture to swap floating rate bankers' acceptance rates to a fixed rate and a fair value adjustment of the joint venture investment property.
(2)Until Q1 2024, Normalized FFO and Normalized AFFO included adjustments for vendor rent obligation amounts due from the vendor of the REIT's Richmond, BC property, until certain conditions were satisfied. During Q2 2024, these conditions were satisfied and the vendor settled all outstanding amounts.
(3)Capital reserve includes maintenance capital expenditures, tenant incentives and leasing costs. Reserve amounts are established with reference to building condition reports, appraisals, and internal estimates of tenant renewal, tenant incentives and leasing costs. The REIT believes that a reserve is more appropriate given the fluctuating nature of these expenditures.
(4)Weighted average number of units includes the Class B LP Units.
(5)These adjustments represent balance sheet write-offs, early mortgage repayment charges, and other costs associated with the disposals made during the period. Given the one-time, non-recurring, nature of these costs, the REIT has adjusted for these in determining normalized FFO and normalized AFFO.
(6)This adjustment represents unrealized foreign exchange losses (gains) on transactions relating to deferred purchase consideration. Note that the comparative periods for 2023 have been updated to conform with the current period presentation.
