Executive summary

• Q3 revenue was $31.5M and net loss attributable to common shareholders was $40.3M, versus revenue of $43.1M and net income of $2.8M in Q3 2023; impairments and higher interest expense were key drivers.

• Nine-month property sales and loan repayments reduced portfolio size and debt; occupancy fell to 81.6% from 97.0% at Dec. 31, 2023.

Financial highlights

• Q3 revenue fell 27% YoY to $31.5M; 9M revenue declined to $114.5M from $128.6M, primarily due to dispositions and tenant vacancies.

• Q3 net loss attributable to common shareholders was $40.3M, or $2.73/share, versus net income of $2.8M, or $0.19/share; 9M net loss was $55.7M versus income of $10.3M.

• Q3 real estate impairment charges were $34.2M; 9M charges totaled $46.5M. 9M real estate sale gain was $21.3M, partially offsetting current-period losses.

• 9M operating cash flow was $61.4M, investing cash inflow $254.7M and financing cash outflow $298.1M; investing inflow primarily reflected property dispositions.

Outlook and guidance

• Cash needs are expected to be funded by operating cash flow and property-sale proceeds; liquidity is exposed to refinancing at higher rates, unanticipated costs and higher-than-expected operating expenses.

• Next 12 months: $66.6M of non-recourse mortgage principal and $5.9M of related interest are due; NLOP financing interest due is $16.6M, with no NLOP financing principal due.

• Unleveraged properties had an aggregate carrying value of $83.7M at Sept. 30, 2024, but financing access is not assured.
