(1)         Consolidated basis – includes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests.

(2)         Excluding realized gains, Company FFO was $379 million ($0.39 per unit) compared with $416 million ($0.43 per unit) in the prior year period. See “Basis of Presentation” and “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” in this report for the definition and components.

(3)         Represents basic net income attributable to holders of LP units. IFRS requires the inclusion of preferred shares that are mandatorily convertible into LP units at a price of $25.70 without an add-back to earnings of the associated carry on the preferred shares.

(4)         Net income attributable to holders of LP units and Company FFO and realized gains per unit are reduced by preferred dividends of $7 million and $15 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019, respectively in determining per unit amounts.

(5)         Company FFO and realized gains per unit are calculated based on 947.2 million (2018 – 974.1 million) and 955.0 million (2018 – 796.8 million) units outstanding for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019, respectively. See “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” section in this report for basic net income.

 

Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was $1.5 billion ($1.00 per LP unit) versus $858 million ($0.51 per LP unit) for the same period in 2018. The increase in net income over the prior year period is primarily attributable to higher valuation gains in our Canada and UK office portfolios, as well as strong performance in several of our LP investments. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $3.2 billion ($1.89 per unit) compared with $3.65 billion ($2.28 per unit) in 2018.

 

Company FFO (CFFO) and realized gains was $459 million ($0.48 per unit) for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, compared to $749 million ($0.77 per unit) for the same period in 2018. CFFO and realized gains was $1.5 billion ($1.57 per unit) for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared with $1.6 billion ($1.97 per unit) in 2018. The prior year benefited from higher realized gains as we exited a number of large transactions in our LP investments.

 

Operating Highlights

 

Our Core Office operations generated Company FFO of $185 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to $170 million in the same period in 2018 and $662 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $608 million on a comparable basis in 2018. The business generated 4% same-property NOI growth and fee income of $30 million.

 

Occupancy in our Core Office portfolio increased 40 basis points in the fourth quarter to 92.8% on 3.3 million square feet of total leasing. Leases signed in the fourth quarter were at rents 41% higher on average than leases that expired in the period. Total leasing for the year was 7.8 million square feet and occupancy increased 90 basis points year-over-year on a comparable basis.

 

Our Core Retail operations generated Company FFO of $217 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to $270 million in the comparable period in 2018 and $772 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $651 million in 2018. Compared to the prior year period, the current quarter results were impacted by the sale of assets now not contributing, downtime on leasing and an accounting change, which has no economic effect on the business.

 

Our Core Retail business leased approximately 10.5 million square feet over the past 12 months with suite-to-suite NOI-weighted rent spreads of 4%. Same-store occupancy levels remained at 96.4% for quarter-end December 31,

 


 

2019, compared to 96.5% in prior year. On a year-over-year basis, in-place rents remained unchanged, and NOI-weighted sales grew 5.9% to $798 per square foot, a new high for the portfolio.

 

Our LP Investments generated Company FFO and realized gains of $150 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, compared to $410 million in the comparable period in 2018 and $476 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $721 million in 2018. Excluding $333 million of realized gains recognized in the prior-year period, results declined $7 million primarily due to higher merchant-build income recognized in the prior-year period.

Dispositions

 

In the fourth quarter we completed $1.1 billion of gross asset dispositions at our share, at prices that were 9% higher on average than our IFRS carrying values. These sales generated approximately $555 million in net proceeds to BPY.

 

Dispositions completed in the fourth quarter include:

 

·                  Interests in various U.S. multifamily assets for net proceeds of $320 million.

·                  Our 74% interest in Jessie Street Centre in Sydney for net proceeds of $115 million.

·                  Interests in JK Towers D & E in Sao Paulo for net proceeds of $52 million.

·                  Our 51% interest in 15 Broad Street in Boston for net proceeds of $14 million.

 

New Investments

 

·                 Unwound a joint venture in our Core Retail portfolio, acquiring our partner’s interests in four malls (Park Meadows, Shops at Merrick Park, Towson Town Center and Perimeter Mall) and selling them our interest in one (Bridgewater Commons).

 

·                 Acquired partner’s 50% interest in London Wall Place for £334 million ($432 million). The property, which is now 97% leased, was concurrently refinanced for £515 million.

 

·                 Through investment in BSREP III, acquired interests in:

 

·                 A mixed-use campus in Shanghai consisting of 1.2 million square feet of office and 460,000 square feet of retail ($141 million at BPY’s share).

 

·                 Aveo, an owner-operator of over 90 retirement villages and aged-care facilities in Australia ($40 million at BPY’s share).

 

·                 Two million square feet of beachfront retail in Dubai ($18 million at BPY’s share).

 

·                 Leela Palaces Hotels & Resorts in India ($40 million at BPY’s share).

 


 

Balance Sheet Update

 

To increase liquidity and extend the maturity of our debt, during and subsequent to the fourth quarter we executed the following financing transactions:

 

·                  In Core Office, we financed $2.8 billion of mortgages with an average term of over four years at an average interest rate of 218 bps over benchmark, generating net proceeds to BPY of approximately $633 million.

·                  In Core Retail, we raised an aggregate of $1.8 billion in various financings, generating net proceeds to BPY of approximately $850 million. The new asset-level mortgages carry an average fixed interest rate of 3.68% with an average term of over five years.

 

Subsequent to quarter end:

 

·                  Issued C$400 million of Green Bonds at a rate of 3.93% with a seven-year term. Proceeds will be used to fund sustainable building initiatives.

·                  Issued an incremental C$100 million of our outstanding 4.35% July 2023 bonds at an implied yield of 3.02% with a 3.5-year term.  Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

 

Unit Repurchase Program

 

Utilizing in-place normal course issuer bids (“NCIBs”), we purchased 3,740,558 of BPY units and BPR shares in the fourth quarter of 2019 at an average price of $18.84 per unit/share. In 2019, the total units purchased under the NCIB were 27,328,945 units at an average price of $20.27 per unit.

 

Board of Directors Update

 

The Board of Directors of BPY is pleased to announce the appointment of a new director, Doug McGregor, who will be joining the Board effective March 1, 2020. Mr. McGregor brings an impressive resume of experience in corporate finance and investment banking, recently having served as the Group Head, RBC Capital Markets and RBC Investor & Treasury Services and Chairman and CEO of RBC Capital Markets.

 

Distribution Declaration

 

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly distribution on the partnership’s LP units of $0.3325 per unit payable on March 31, 2020 to unitholders of record at the close of business on February 28, 2020.

 

The quarterly distributions on the LP units are declared in U.S. dollars. Registered unitholders residing in the United States shall receive quarterly cash distributions in U.S. dollars and registered unitholders not residing in the United States shall receive quarterly cash distributions in the Canadian dollar equivalent, based on the Bank of Canada exchange rate on the record date. Registered unitholders residing in the United States have the option, through Brookfield Property Partners’ transfer agent, AST Trust Company (Canada) (“AST”), to elect to receive quarterly cash distributions in the Canadian dollar equivalent and registered unitholders not residing in the United States have the option through AST to elect to receive quarterly cash distributions in U.S. dollars. Beneficial unitholders (i.e., those holding their units in street name with their brokerage) should contact the broker with whom their units are held to discuss their options regarding distribution currency.

 

The Board of Directors has also declared quarterly distributions on the partnership’s Class A Series 1 and Class A Series 2 preferred units of $0.40625 per unit, and $0.39844 per unit, respectively, payable on March 31, 2020 to holders of record at the close of business on March 2, 2020.

Basis of Presentation

 

This report and accompanying financial information make reference to net operating income (“NOI”), same-property NOI, funds from operations (“FFO”), Company FFO and realized gains (“Company FFO and realized gains”) and net income attributable to unitholders.

 

Company FFO and realized gains, and net income attributable to unitholders are also presented on a per unit basis. NOI, same-property NOI, FFO, Company FFO and realized gains, and net income attributable to unitholders do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Partnership uses NOI, same-property NOI, FFO, Company FFO and realized gains, and net income attributable to unitholders to assess its operating results. These measures should not be used as alternatives to Net Income and other operating measures determined in accordance with IFRS, but rather to provide supplemental insights into performance.  Further, these measures do not represent liquidity measures or cash flow from operations and are not intended to be representative of the funds available for distribution to unitholders either in aggregate or on a per unit basis, where presented.

 

NOI is defined as revenues from commercial and hospitality operations of consolidated properties less direct commercial property and hospitality expenses. As NOI includes the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial property and hospitality assets, it provides a measure to evaluate the performance of the property operations.

 

Same-property NOI is a subset of NOI, which excludes NOI that is earned from assets acquired, disposed of or developed during the periods presented, or not of a recurring nature, and from opportunistic assets. Same-property NOI allows the Partnership to segregate the performance of leasing and operating initiatives on the portfolio from the impact to performance from investing activities and “one-time items,” which for the historical periods presented consist primarily of lease termination income.

 

FFO is defined as income, including equity accounted income, before realized gains (losses) from the sale of investment property (except gains (losses) related to properties developed for sale), fair value gains (losses) (including equity accounted fair value gains (losses)), depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, income tax expense (benefit), and less non-controlling interests of others in operating subsidiaries and properties. FFO is a widely recognized measure that is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of real estate entities, particularly those that own and operate income producing properties. The Partnership’s definition of FFO includes all of the adjustments that are outlined in the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition of FFO. In addition to the adjustments prescribed by NAREIT, the Partnership also makes adjustments to exclude any unrealized fair value gains (or losses) that arise as a result of reporting under IFRS, and income taxes that arise as certain of its subsidiaries are structured as corporations as opposed to real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). These additional adjustments result in an FFO measure that is similar to that which would result if the Partnership was organized as a REIT that determined net income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), which is the type of organization on which the NAREIT definition is premised. The Partnership’s FFO measure will differ from other organizations applying the NAREIT definition to the extent of certain differences between the IFRS and U.S. GAAP reporting frameworks, principally related to the recognition of lease termination income. FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year-over-year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and interest costs.

 

Company FFO and realized gains is defined as FFO before the impact of depreciation and amortization of non-real estate assets, transaction costs, gains (losses) associated with non-investment properties, imputed interest on equity accounted investments, realized gains in the partnership’s LP Investment segment and the partnership’s share of BSREP III Company FFO and realized gains. Realized LP Investment gains represent income earned on investing activity when fund investments are realized, inclusive of associated change in carried interest to be due at a future date to the general partner of the relevant Brookfield Asset Management-sponsored funds. The partnership accounts for the investment in BSREP III as a financial asset and income (loss) of the fund is not presented in the partnership’s results. Distributions from BSREP III, recorded as dividend income under IFRS, are removed from investment and other income for Company FFO and realized gains presentation.

 


 

Net income attributable to unitholders is defined as net income attributable to holders of general partnership units and limited partnership units of the Partnership, redeemable/exchangeable and special limited partnership units of Brookfield Property L.P., limited partnership units of Brookfield Office Properties Exchange LP and Class A shares of Brookfield Property REIT Inc. Net income attributable to unitholders is used by the Partnership to evaluate the performance of the Partnership as a whole as each of the unitholders participates in the economics of the Partnership equally. In calculating net income attributable to unitholders per unit, the Partnership excludes the impact of mandatorily convertible preferred units in determining the average number of units outstanding as the holders of mandatorily convertible preferred units do not participate in current earnings.  The Partnership reconciles this measure to basic net income attributable to unitholders per unit determined in accordance with IFRS which includes the effect of mandatorily convertible preferred units in the basic average number of units outstanding.
