FIBRA Macquarie México (FIBRAMQ) (BMV: FIBRAMQ) announced its financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

SECOND QUARTER 2024 HIGHLIGHTS

• Consolidated 2Q24 NOI up 6.0% YoY, in underlying USD terms
• Consolidated 2Q24 AFFO flat YoY, in underlying USD terms
• Consolidated 2Q24 portfolio occupancy of 96.9%
• 2Q24 retail occupancy of 92.1%, the highest level since the second quarter of 2020
• Quarterly Industrial leasing renewal spreads of 13.0% on negotiated leases

“Our well-positioned industrial-focused portfolio continues to deliver strong results,” said Simon Hanna, FIBRA Macquarie’s chief executive officer. “We continue to deliver and lease up new properties from our industrial development program, we have maintained healthy occupancy and are realizing solid rental rate increases across our industrial portfolio. Our development growth strategy maintains its momentum with the delivery of a 200 thousand square foot facility in Apodaca, Nuevo Leon, and 100% lease up of our Mexico City development project. We are making good progress on our other active projects in core industrial markets including our recent acquisition of a strategic, 25-hectare industrial land bank in Monterrey, where we intend to develop approximately 900 thousand square feet of GLA over time.”

Mr. Hanna continued, “We continue to maintain our disciplined approach to capital allocation and balance sheet management, building on our consistent track record. We again enhanced our balance sheet with a new US$150 million credit facility, which notably is the first loan commitment for the International Finance Corporation to a Mexican FIBRA. We are also progressing with our pursuit of the acquisition of Terrafina, which would accelerate our growth profile. We maintain our confidence in the FIBRA Macquarie platform, including our robust development pipeline and strong balance sheet, which is well positioned to support ongoing attractive growth in the coming quarters.”

TENDER AND EXCHANGE OFFER FOR TERRAFINA

On July 8, FIBRAMQ obtained security holder approval for the acquisition of the Irrevocable Trust Agreement number F/00939, also known as "Terrafina" (BMV: TERRA13). Concurrently, FIBRAMQ launched a tender and exchange offer (the “Offer”) for Terrafina Trust Certificates, or certificados bursátiles fiduciarios inmobiliarios (the “Terrafina CBFIs”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the tender offer prospectus, for up to 100% of the outstanding Terrafina CBFIs, at a current exchange ratio of 1.185x FIBRAMQ CBFIs for each Terrafina CBFI. The expiration for the Offer is August 12, 2024, unless the Offer Expiration Date is extended pursuant to the terms of the tender and exchange offer prospectus.

Additionally, FIBRA Macquarie announced on July 21 a further reduction in the management fees paid to its Manager from 100 bps of market capitalization to 75 bps of market capitalization, subject to the completion of an acquisition of Terrafina, or any other merger with, or acquisition of, a listed FIBRA or other company by FIBRA Macquarie in the future.

FIBRAMQ believes that a combination with Terrafina, which would form the largest institutional FIBRA, is a compelling value proposition to both FIBRA Macquarie and Terrafina certificate holders. The combined FIBRA would benefit from FIBRA Macquarie’s scalable, vertically integrated property administration and development platform, and would serve additional demand coming from the favorable nearshoring tailwinds.

CAPITAL ALLOCATION

FIBRAMQ continues to pursue a strategy of investing in and developing class “A” industrial assets in core markets that demonstrate strong performance and a positive economic outlook.

Industrial Portfolio Growth Capex Program

FIBRAMQ has 1.5 million square feet of GLA under development or stabilization with a total required investment of approximately US$127.0 million. FIBRA Macquarie maintains a target NOI yield on cost of between 9% and 11%, which incorporates the highest sustainability standards and is designed to generate embedded operational efficiencies for its customers.

Projects in process are summarized below. For further details regarding recently delivered projects, please refer to the Supplementary Information materials located at BMV Filings (fibramacquarie.com).

Industrial Development Projects in Process

Apodaca, Nuevo Leon

• FIBRAMQ delivered a 200 thousand square feet property during 2Q24.
• This building delivery is part of a class “A” industrial park that is anticipated to comprise a total potential GLA of 790 thousand square feet, of which FIBRAMQ has completed construction on 590 thousand square feet of GLA.

Tijuana, Baja California

• Work is ongoing for the first building comprising 405 thousand square feet of GLA with an expected delivery date in the second half of 2024.
• This class “A” industrial park is anticipated to comprise a total potential GLA of 890 thousand square feet.

Cuautitlán, Mexico City Metropolitan Area

On July 24, FIBRAMQ executed a 5-year, U.S. dollar-denominated lease with respect to its 225 thousand square foot development project that will be occupied by a multinational e-commerce retailer. The triple-net lease is expected to commence contributing to net operating income in the first quarter of 2025. The property is held in a joint venture in which FIBRA Macquarie holds an 82.2% equity stake.

As an added value driver for its investors, FIBRA Macquarie is the sole beneficiary of development and property administration fees earned from the joint venture vehicle, harnessing the capabilities of its vertically integrated development and property management platform.

FIBRA Macquarie’s proportionate investment cost for the building is expected to total US$17.4 million, excluding development fees earned by FIBRA Macquarie. The project is expected to achieve a 12.0% NOI development yield, with a proportionate first year NOI of US$2.1 million.

The building is being constructed in accordance with the U.S. Green Building Council’s® LEED® v4.0 Building Design and Construction: Core and Shell Development specifications and is expected to achieve a minimum Gold level certification. In addition, the lease has been executed in accordance with FIBRA Macquarie’s green leasing standards.

As part of its continued growth plans, FIBRA Macquarie continues to evaluate acquisition opportunities, including land parcels for industrial development and stabilized property portfolios in markets that FIBRAMQ considers core and strategic.

FY24 GUIDANCE

FIBRA Macquarie’s ongoing strong and stable performance continues to reflect the capacity to deliver solid returns to its investors through AFFO and cash distributions.

AFFO

FIBRA Macquarie is reaffirming its FY24 AFFO per certificate guidance of Ps. 2.55 to Ps. 2.60.

The FY24 AFFO guidance equates to a range of US$116 million to US$120 million, representing an annual increase of between 6% and 8% in underlying USD terms.

FIBRAMQ maintains a positive 2024 outlook on operational performance which is expected to be offset by the financing costs of near-term investments in FIBRAMQ’s industrial growth capex program that in turn are expected to incrementally contribute to revenue and AFFO growth upon stabilization of each development project. This guidance assumes:

• an average exchange rate of Ps. 17.75 per US dollar for the remainder of 2024;
• no new acquisitions or divestments;
• no deterioration in broader economic and market conditions;
• no certificate repurchases or issuances; and
• excludes any Manager performance fees, if earned

Cash Distribution

FIBRAMQ is reaffirming guidance for cash distributions in FY24 of Ps. 2.10 per certificate, paid in equal quarterly installments of Ps. 0.5250 per certificate to FIBRA Macquarie holders, subject to no new CBFI issuances in relation with the potential acquisition of Terrafina.

Taking into account the ongoing Terrafina tender and exchange offer process, FIBRA Macquarie will shortly provide a further update on the expected timing of payment of the 2Q24 distribution, which is ordinarily scheduled for payment in September.

Outstanding certificates

FIBRA Macquarie had 797,311,397 outstanding certificates as of June 30, 2024. This considers the 36.0 million certificates issuance to existing holders that was made in March 2024 in respect of the extraordinary distribution corresponding to FY23, resulting in a 4.7% increase in outstanding CBFIs.
