Northview was formed on April 14, 2020 pursuant to the initial declaration of trust and there were no operations from the date of formation through to November 1, 2020. All amounts in this news release are in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated. HIGHLIGHTS On November 2, 2020, Northview completed the acquisition of a portfolio valued at $1.8 billion from Northview Apartment Real Estate Investment Trust (the “Acquisition”). Northview commenced operations on November 2, 2020. Therefore, this news release contains results for the period from November 2, 2020 to December 31, 2020.In connection with the Acquisition, on November 2, 2020, Northview completed its initial public offering (the “Offering”), resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of $430.0 million in Units.Net and comprehensive income for the period ended December 31, 2020 was $89.7 million and was driven by a gain on business combination of $104.5 million.Funds from operations (“FFO”) was $9.2 million for the period ended December 31, 2020, resulting in FFO per Unit of $0.26.Adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) was $7.4 million for the period ended December 31, 2020, resulting in AFFO per Unit of $0.21.Northview’s FFO payout ratio of 81.6% reflected the seasonality of results for the period of operations from November 2, 2020 to December 31, 2020, which is characterized by higher utility costs.Net operating income (“NOI”) of $17.5 million for the period ended December 31, 2020 was earned on revenue of $31.1 million and represented an NOI margin of 56.2%.Distributions of $7.5 million were declared for the period ended December 31, 2020, representing a monthly weighted average distribution of $0.1093 per issued Unit.Occupancy for the period ended December 31, 2020 was 88.7% for the multi-family portfolio and 91.8% for the commercial portfolio.Debt to gross book value was 66.7% as at December 31, 2020. Interest coverage and debt service coverage ratios were 2.60 and 1.39, respectively, for the period from November 2, 2020 to December 31, 2020.During the period ended December 31, 2020, Northview completed the repositioning of a 145-room execusuite property comprised of five buildings located in St. John’s, NL to a 145-suite multi-residential complex, resulting in a $4.6 million fair value increase to the property. As of March 16, 2021, the property was 34% leased. COVID-19 IMPACT On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. Since then, the spread of COVID-19 has had a substantial impact on the Canadian and global economy. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, many provincial and territorial governments have limited the ability of landlords to evict tenants for non-payment of rent and restricted the ability of landlords to increase rent. Social distancing actions to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, including closing or limiting the capacity of restaurants and bars, limits on the number of people at public gatherings, and general stay-at-home guidelines, have contributed to significantly increased unemployment rates. Although some of these restrictions are starting to be reduced, the disruption to the Canadian economy may continue for some time. The COVID-19 financial impact included a reduction of revenue from execusuite properties, an increase in COVID-19-related expenses, and higher estimated bad debt expense in the multi-residential business segment than expected under normal operating conditions. COVID-19 related expenses include incremental cleaning costs and the purchase of personal protective equipment to contain the spread of COVID-19 and to manage the safety of residents, execusuite guests, and employees. The financial impact from the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to continue in 2021. The future operational and financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult to determine, and it is not possible to predict the duration and severity of the economic disruption, government restrictions and stimulus, social distancing, and phased re-opening of economies. Although provinces and territories have started re-opening their economies with a reduction or elimination of previous restrictions, many businesses have not returned to pre-COVID-19 levels of activity. It is also unclear if restrictions will need to be reapplied in some jurisdictions if the rate of COVID-19 increases following the reduction or elimination of previous restrictions. Unemployment rates remain higher than pre-COVID-19 levels. In future periods, the COVID-19 pandemic could result in lower demand for Northview’s properties and a higher credit risk for collection of rent. Increased government regulations may restrict Northview’s ability to enforce provisions under its leases, including the collection of rent, eviction of tenants for payment related matters, and Northview’s ability to apply market-based increases to rent. Northview has implemented enhanced cleaning protocols and has various payment options for rent to promote social distancing and contactless transactions. In addition, Northview implemented a rent deferral program for residential tenants who have faced financial hardships due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Approximately 1.2% of residential tenants currently have a rent deferral arrangement and these tenants are fulfilling their obligations under the payment arrangement. Notwithstanding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the long-term fundamentals for Canadian multi-residential markets remain compelling and Northview’s portfolio is in several diversified geographies. The demand for rental accommodation remains strong due to home ownership affordability continuing to be a challenge in many markets. Due to the long-term tenure of commercial leases, supported primarily by government tenants and credit-rated corporations, there was minimal impact of COVID-19 on rent collections in Northview’s commercial portfolio. Execusuites have experienced lower occupancy than expected under normal operating cycles as a result of restrictions on interterritorial travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nunavut and the Northwest Territories have been identified as priority regions for the COVID-19 vaccination; therefore, the vaccination is expected to be more accessible as compared to other regions of Canada. Northview collected 99.1% of multi-residential and commercial rent in the fourth quarter of 2020. The collection rate to-date in the first quarter of 2021 has been consistent with the fourth quarter of 2020. One of Northview’s top priorities continues to be supporting the safety and well-being of tenants, execusuite guests, employees, and other stakeholders by managing and controlling the spread of COVID-19. While physical distancing restrictions have impacted certain non-essential maintenance activities, Northview has been able to maintain a level of essential service for its buildings, tenants, and execusuite guests. Further disclosure surrounding the impact of COVID-19 is included in Northview’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the period ended December 31, 2020, which is available on www.sedar.com.
