2023 Fourth Quarter Financial and Operational Highlights:

For the three months (“Q4 2023”) and year ended December 31, 2023, the REIT delivered strong operating results with key highlights as follows:

  • Revenue from investment properties for Q4 2023 and year ended December 31 of $124.0 million and $508.0 million, respectively, was 4.1% and 12.3% higher in Q4 2023 compared to Q4 2022, respectively, primarily from rental lease indexation and full year of US portfolio acquisition.

  • Same property net operating income (“SPNOI”) of $90.9 million was 4.0% higher in Q4 2023 compared to Q4 2022, and annual SPNOI of $293.4 million increased 3.7% from $283.1 million in 2022 (see Exhibit 1).

  • Strong operating performance is underpinned by a long-term lease maturity profile with a weighted-average lease expiry (“WALE”) of 13.3 years, a global portfolio occupancy rate of 97%, and a global rent collection rate of 99%.

  • Adjustments to investment property fair values, and higher interest expense for variable rate debts resulted in net income (loss) for the Q4 2023 and year ended December 31, 2023, of $(188.9) million and $(480.7) million in 2023, respectively, compared to $(135.5) million and $125.6 million in 2022, respectively.

  • Higher interest expense represents an effective weighted-average interest rate (“WAIR”) of 6.27% as at December 31, 2023, compared to 5.35% as at December 31, 2022.

  • Adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) for Q4 2023 was $0.13(1) per unit (Q4 2022 – $0.17 per unit), resulting in an AFFO payout ratio for Q4 2023 of 67% (Q4 2022 – 117%) (see Exhibit 3).

“2023 was about strengthening our business and balance sheet,” said Craig Mitchell, Northwest’s Chief Executive Officer. “As demonstrated in our financial results, we have an exceptional healthcare real estate portfolio that is performing well in a sector that is resilient and positioned for growth. It is important to highlight that the constraints we have faced as a company over the past year stemmed from balance sheet leverage and the resulting interest expense. However, our underlying real estate and business fundamentals remain strong.

“Throughout 2023, to strengthen our financial position, the REIT divested of assets valued at over $450.0 million, including non-core investment properties and unlisted securities, with the proceeds used to pay down debt. We also amended, extended, repaid and refinanced total debt facilities valued at over $1.4 billion with 2023 and 2024 maturities.

“These efforts not only immediately positively impact earnings through reducing interest expense, but also enhance the balance sheet. While there is still work ahead of us, we are confident in our ability to continue to unlock value within our portfolio.

“The REIT’s high-quality real estate portfolio with long-term leases, is well-positioned to capitalize on the heightened demand for healthcare real estate. As we look ahead, we are optimistic about the future of the real estate healthcare sector and our position within it.”

Same Property NOI

The REIT’s strong operating performance can be seen in the SPNOI for Q4 2023, which increased by 4.0% over the comparable prior year period. The property portfolio performed well with 83.1% of the property portfolio rents indexed to inflation and an 87% lease renewal rate supported by a long-term WALE of 13.3 years. These strong operating results came from all regions in the quarter with SPNOI growth coming from the Americas at 2.5%, Europe at 3.2% and Australasia at 6.5%.

Valuations

During Q4 2023 and year ended December 31, 2023, the REIT recorded a fair value loss on income producing properties of $157.6 million and $571.8 million, respectively. The fair value losses were attributable mainly to cap rate expansions in consideration of the interest rate environments in which the REIT operates. The weighted average capitalization rate increased to 5.9% for the consolidated portfolio, as compared to 5.4% December 31, 2022.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, 82% of the REIT’s investment property fair values were determined by independent third-party appraisers.

Balance Sheet Strengthening

During the second half of 2023, the REIT announced a number of initiatives to manage 2023 and 2024 debt maturities and to strengthen the balance sheet, including asset sales and the refinancing, and extension of its debt. As at December 31, 2023, the REIT had mortgages and loans payable of $3.6 billion (December 31, 2022$3.8 billion).

Dispositions

During 2023, the REIT divested properties with a fair value of $360.7 million with $162.8 million occurring in Q4. The proceeds were used to repay property level debt, corporate credit facilities and Australasian term debt.

In 2023, the REIT sold or redeemed approximately 63% of its investment in unlisted securities for proceeds of $134.5 million. The proceeds were used towards the full repayment of the Australasian term debt, secured by the underlying unlisted securities. In 2024 to-date, the REIT has redeemed additional unlisted securities of $15.5 million.

In 2024 to-date, the REIT divested five non-core properties at fair value of $41.8 million, with proceeds used to repay asset specific and corporate variable rate debt, and for general corporate purposes.

Capital Management

During 2023, the REIT refinanced, amended and extended $1.0 billion of term debt and credit facilities. The REIT further executed a new term loan for total proceeds of $140.0 million maturing in 2025 and completed a public offering of $86.3 million aggregate principal amount of Series I convertible debentures, which included the exercise in full of the over allotment of $11.3 million. The weighted average interest rate on debt as of December 31, 2023, is 6.27% as compared to 5.35% at December 31, 2022, including convertible debentures which had a weighted average interest rate of 7.88% in 2023 and 5.92% in 2022.

On November 27, 2023, holders of Northwest’s $125.0 million ‘Series G’ Convertible Unsecured Subordinated Debentures (TSX: NWH.DB.G) (the “Debentures”) passed an extraordinary resolution approving certain amendments to the Debentures, including an extension of the maturity of the Debentures from December 2023 to March 2025.

In the first three months of 2024, the REIT extended approximately 28% of its non-mortgage debt maturing in 2024 and 2025. This includes the extension of $125.0 million of its revolving corporate debt from 2024 to 2025, and $172.0 million of debt from 2025 to 2027.

On March 13, 2024, Vital Healthcare Property Trust (“Vital”) extended the weighted average term to maturity to approximately 4 years for $430.0 million of term debts, of which $177.0 million were maturing in 2025. The extensions are at approximately the same weighted average interest margins as current financing.

Notes

(1)  Other FFO adjustments include items that, in management’s view, are not reflective of recurring earnings from core operations. For the year ended December 31, 2023, other FFO adjustments included (a) $9.6 million financing costs incurred with respect to an investment in unlisted securities, (b) $1.8 million of corporate G&A expenses related to the strategic philanthropic initiatives, including $1.2 million payable in 10 years and (c) $3.3 million of corporate financing costs related to short-term financing arrangement to fund property acquisition activity that are not reflective of long-term financing costs.

(2) FFO is not a measure recognized under IFRS and does not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS.  See Performance Measurements section in the REIT’s MD&A.

(3) Under IFRS the REIT’s Class B LP Units are treated as a financial liability rather than equity. The REIT has chosen to present an adjusted basic and diluted per unit measure that includes the Class B LP Units in basic and diluted units outstanding/weighted average units outstanding. There were 1,710,000 Class B LP Units outstanding as at December 31, 2023 and 1,710,000 outstanding as at December 31, 2022.

(4) Diluted units includes vested but unissued deferred trust units and the conversion of the REIT’s Convertible Debentures that would have a dilutive effect upon conversion at the holders’ contractual conversion price. Convertible Debentures are dilutive if the interest (net of tax and other changes in income or expense) per unit obtainable on conversion is less than the basic per unit measure.

Exhibit 3 – Adjusted Funds From Operations Reconciliation 

AFFO is a supplemental non-IFRS financial measure of a REIT’s operating performance and is intended to reflect a stabilized business environment. The REIT calculates AFFO as FFO, plus/minus certain adjustments as detailed below. AFFO is more fully defined and discussed in the REIT’s MD&A (see “Performance Measurement” and “Adjusted Funds From Operations“).

Notes

(1) FFO and AFFO are not measures recognized under IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. See Performance Measurement section in the REIT’s MD&A.

(2) Under IFRS the REIT’s Class B LP Units are treated as a financial liability rather than equity. The REIT has chosen to present an adjusted basic and diluted per unit measure that includes the Class B LP Units in basic and diluted units outstanding/weighted average units outstanding. There were 1,710,000 Class B  LP Units outstanding as at December 31, 2023 and 1,710,000 outstanding as at December 31, 2022.

(3) Distributions per units is a non-IFRS ratio calculated as sum of the distributions on the REIT’s units and finance costs on Class B LP Units. Management does not consider finance costs on Class B LP units to be an financing cost of the REIT but rather component of the REIT’s total distributions. Distributions is not defined by IFRS and does not have a standard meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers.
