Exhibit 99.1

 

 

 

 

Mexico City, October 19, 2023 – Corporación Inmobiliaria Vesta S.A.B. de C.V., (“Vesta”, or the “Company”) (BMV: VESTA; NYSE: VTMX), a leading industrial real estate company in Mexico, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. All figures included herein were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. This information should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our financial statements, including the notes thereto. Vesta’s financial results are stated in US dollars unless otherwise noted.

 

Q3 2023 Highlights

 

·During the quarter the Company began construction on nine buildings, or 2.6 million sf, within Mexico’s most dynamic markets including an important start in Mexico City, aligned with Vesta´s growth plan and reflecting strong market dynamics. Vesta´s total development pipeline reached 3.5 million sf as of the third quarter 2023, with a US$ 291.2 million expected investment and a 10.2% yield on cost. Third quarter 2023 deliveries of 2.3 million sf and buildings under development increased Vesta’s total portfolio to more than 40 million sf.

 

·Third quarter 2023 leasing activity reached 1.4 million sf: 736,473 sf in new contracts with best-in-class companies such as Foxconn, Sage Automotive, Sumitomo, and BekaertDeslee among others, and 626,411 sf in lease renewals. Vesta’s third quarter 2023 stabilized occupancy therefore increased to 97.3% from 96.6% in third quarter 2022, while total portfolio occupancy closed at 92.5% and same store occupancy at 97.6%.

 

·Vesta ended the quarter well positioned with a strong balance sheet, with Net Debt to EBITDA of 3.1x and LTV of 25.8%, also with benefit of the Company’s successful July 5, 2023 IPO.

 

·Vesta has updated its full year 2023 guidance: revenue guidance has been upwardly revised to a range of between 19-20%, an increase from the Company’s prior guidance of 17-18%, Adjusted NOI margin has been revised to 92.5% from 93.0% and Adjusted EBITDA had been revised to 81.5% from 82.0%. This reflects Vesta´s strong leasing activity, which resulted in revenue increases, as well as higher expenses, year to date.1

 

·Vesta delivered US$ 56.4 million in revenue for the third quarter 2023; a 23.9% year on year increase from US$ 45.5 million in the third quarter 2022, primarily due to US$ 7.8 million in new revenue-generating contracts and a US$ 2.2 million inflationary benefit on third quarter 2023 results. Third quarter 2023 Adjusted NOI and EBITDA margins reached 92.1% and 80.3%, respectively.

 

 

 

1 These amounts are estimates and are based on current management expectations. Amounts are subject to change and Vesta undertakes no responsibility to update this outlook. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of expected NOI margin and expected Adjusted EBITDA margin which are forward-looking non-IFRS measures, because the Company cannot reliably predict certain of their necessary components, such as gain on revaluation of investment property, exchange gain (loss) – net, or gain on sale of investment property, among others.

·Third quarter 2023 Adjusted Net Operating Income (Adjusted NOI) increased 20.4% to US$ 52.0 million, compared to US$ 43.2 million in the third quarter 2022. The third quarter 2023 Adjusted NOI margin was 92.1%; a 273-basis-point year on year decrease due to higher costs at rent-generating properties.

 

·Third quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA increased 17.1% to US$ 45.3 million, as compared to US$ 38.7 million in the third quarter 2022. The Adjusted EBITDA margin was 80.3%; a 470-basis-point decrease primarily due to lower gross profit due to an increase in costs and higher administrative expenses related to the peso appreciation relative to last year.

 

·Third quarter Vesta funds from operations (Vesta FFO) increased by 26.0% to US$ 33.9 million, from US$ 26.9 million in 2022. Vesta FFO per share was US$ 0.0407 for the third quarter 2023, compared with US$ 0.0389 for the same period in 2022; a 4.6% increase. Third quarter 2023 FFO attributable to common shares was US$ 2.3 million, compared to US$ 20.4 million in the third quarter 2022, due to increased income tax expenses in the third quarter 2023 resulting from a higher exchange rate related current tax in third quarter 2023.

 

·Third quarter 2023 total comprehensive gain was US$ 79.0 million, versus US$ 62.3 million in the third quarter 2022. This increase was primarily due to increased third quarter 2023 revenues and a higher gain on the revaluation of investment properties.

 

·The total value of Vesta’s investment property portfolio was US$ 3.11 billion as of September 30, 2023; a 13.7% increase compared to US$ 2.74 billion at the end of December 31, 2022.

Letter from the CEO

 

MARKET DYNAMICS SUPPORT A ROBUST DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE

 

Recent geopolitical events have stunned and deeply saddened the global community. While the ultimate outcome remains uncertain to date, we hope for increased stability and a peaceful resolution.

 

Vesta will continue to benefit from Mexico’s emergence as North America’s leading trading partner, as the country has surpassed both China and Canada. In the context of global economic volatility, nearshoring is driven by deepened concerns about escalating risk and the rising costs of sourcing and manufacturing in Asia, particularly China. The share of companies making moves to nearshore their production nearly tripled so far this year, according to McKinsey's annual survey of supply chain leaders released in August. We believe today’s turbulence and geopolitical volatility will further strengthen this trend, as manufacturers seek to future-proof their supply chain more than ever. Last week, Mexico’s government announced tax incentives to boost investment, for companies in certain sectors that are considering relocating to Mexico, effective October 12. Note that Mexico already offers incentives to companies that operate in the northern and southern border regions.

 

Vesta’s strong third quarter operating results are a testament to our team’s commitment to excellence, enabling continued success on the company’s growth plan that’s designed to capitalize on the outstanding opportunity we’re seeing in today’s market environment. Our results for the quarter reflected successful speculative building development with strong leasing activity. We achieved 1.4 million square feet of GLA leased during the quarter; 736,473 square feet through new contracts with multinational clients such as Foxconn, Sage Automotive, Sumitomo, BekaertDeslee, Gates, and Continental in Juarez, San Luis Potosi and Guadalajara, most of which led by nearshoring, and 626,411 square feet in lease renewals during the quarter. Vesta’s stabilized occupancy increased to 97.3% in the third quarter 2023, from 96.6% in third quarter 2022, while total portfolio occupancy closed at 92.5% with same store occupancy at 97.6%.

 

We began construction on nine new buildings during the quarter as planned: three in Mexico City, three in Juarez, two in San Luis Potosi and one in Aguascalientes. Our total development pipeline reached 3.5 million square feet at the end of September 2023, with a US$ 291.2 million expected investment and a 10.2% development yield on cost. Vesta will continue development starts for the remainder of the year, in line with an accelerated pipeline and today’s favorable market dynamics.

 

Vesta’s total portfolio surpassed 40 million sf in the third quarter 2023, comprised of our existing portfolio as well as properties under development in Mexico’s most strategically relevant markets. Total portfolio appraised value increased to US$ 3.1 billion, from US$ 2.7 billion at the end of 2022, as we’ve been incorporating new assets in 2023 while the total portfolio has increased in overall value. Our land bank has also been decreasing as land holdings transfer to the current active portfolio.

 

I’m pleased to also note that Vesta delivered US$ 56.4 million in third quarter revenue; a 23.9% year on year increase, while Adjusted NOI and EBITDA margins reached 92.1% and 80.3%, respectively. Importantly, we ended the quarter with a strong balance sheet, reflected in outstanding ratios such as Net Debt to EBITDA of 3.1x and LTV of 25.8% with no significant maturities in the near future. Therefore, while we’re confident in the overall resiliency of our diversified business, and that nearshoring will continue to strengthen, Vesta is well positioned to weather potential turbulence.

 

We’re therefore focused on executing with unwavering discipline as we reach the final stretch of Vesta’s Level 3 strategy. We expect a strong end to 2023, driven by continued robust leasing and renewals while strategically and selectively executing on construction starts and potential asset sales. We’re maintaining high levels of vigilance on our tenant base with a steadfast focus on sustainable growth to secure a solid foundation for 2024 that ensures value creation for Vesta stakeholders.

 

Thank you for your continued support,

 

Lorenzo D. Berho

Vesta’s third quarter 2023 rental revenues increased 23.9% to US$ 56.40 million, from US$ 45.51 million in the third quarter 2022. The US$ 10.89 million rental revenue increase was primarily due to: [i] a US$ 7.76 million, or 17.1%, increase from space rented in the third quarter of 2023 which had previously been vacant in the third quarter of 2022; [ii] a US$ 2.19 million, or 4.8%, increase related to inflationary adjustments on rented property in the third quarter of 2023; [iii] a US$ 1.02 million, or 2.3%, increase in rental income due to the conversion of peso-denominated rental income into US dollars; [iv] a US$ 1.45 million, or 3.8%, increase in reimbursements for expenses paid by Vesta on behalf of clients but not considered to be rental revenue and [v] a US$ 0.64 million management fee increase related to tenant improvements (TIs) to Vesta developments.

 

Vesta’s third quarter 2023 rental revenue results were partially offset by a US$ 2.17 million, or 4.8%, decrease related to lease agreements which expired and were not renewed during the third quarter 2023.

 

86.4% of Vesta’s third quarter 2023 rental revenues were US dollar denominated and indexed to the US Consumer Price Index (CPI), a decrease from 87.1% in the third quarter 2022. Contracts denominated in

pesos are adjusted annually based on the equivalent Mexican Consumer Price Index, the “Indice Nacional de Precios al Consumidor” (INPC).

 

Property Operating Costs

 

Vesta’s third quarter 2023 total operating costs reached US$ 5.85 million, compared to US$ 2.93 million in the third quarter 2022; a US$ 2.91 million, or 99.2%, increase due to increased costs related to both rental income generating and non-rental income generating properties.

 

During the third quarter 2023, costs related to investment properties generating rental revenues amounted to US$ 4.44 million, compared to US$ 2.34 million for the same period in 2022. This was primarily attributable to an increase in real estate tax as new developments were delivered during this quarter, insurance costs and other property expenses related to energy consumption at Vesta Parks during the quarter.

 

Costs from investment properties which did not generate rental revenues during the third quarter 2023 increased to US$ 1.4 million, from US$ 0.59 million for the same period of 2022. This was primarily due to an increase in real estate taxes, as new developments were delivered during the quarter, maintenance and other property related expenses such related to energy consumption at Vesta Parks during the quarter.

 

Adjusted Net Operating Income (Adjusted NOI)

 

Third quarter Adjusted Net Operating Income increased 20.4% to US$ 52.0 million year on year with a 273-basis-point NOI margin decrease, to 92.1%, resulting from increased costs associated with rental income generating properties.

 

Administrative Expenses

 

        9 months
Consolidated Interim and Annual Statements of Profit and Other Comprehensive Income (million) Q3 2023 Q3 2022 Chg. % 2023     2022 Chg. %

Adjusted EBITDA 45.29 38.68 17.1 130.10     110.52 17.7

 

Third quarter 2023 administrative expenses totaled US$ 7.05 million, compared to US$ 5.53 million in the third quarter of 2022; a 27.6% increase. The increase is primarily due to the peso appreciation relative to the same period last year, which in turn impacted Vesta´s employee’s benefits, auditing, legal and consulting expenses, as well an increase in Vesta’s employee long-term incentive plan during the third quarter of 2023.

The expense related to the share-based payment of Vesta’s compensation plan amounted to US$ 1.79 million for the third quarter of 2023. For more detailed information on Vesta’s expenses, please see Note 17 within the Company’s Financial Statements.

 

Depreciation

 

Depreciation during the third quarter of 2023 was US$ 0.27 million, compared to US$ 0.41 million in the third quarter of 2022. This was related to office space and office equipment depreciation during the quarter and the amortization of Vesta´s operating systems.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Third quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA increased 17.1% to US$ 45.3 million, from US$ 38.7 million in the third quarter 2022, while the EBITDA margin decreased 470-basis-points to 80.3%, as compared to 85.0% for the same period of last year. This decrease was due to decreased gross profit resulting from increased costs and expenses.

Total other income (expenses) 87.75 52.08 n/a 158.96     112.56 41.2

 

Total third quarter 2023 other income reached US$ 87.75 million, compared to US$ 52.08 million in other income at the end of the third quarter 2022, an increase primarily due to increased interest income and higher gain on revaluation of investment properties.

 

Third quarter 2023 interest income increased to US$ 4.42 million year on year, from US$ 1.38 million in third quarter 2022, due to a higher cash position resulting from the Company's third quarter 2023 equity raise, as well as higher interest rates during the quarter.

 

Third quarter 2023 other income resulted in a US$ 1.71 million gain due to the net result of the Company’s other accounting expenses.

 

Third quarter 2023 interest expense decreased to US$ 11.40 million, from US$ 11.78 million for the same quarter last year, reflecting a lower debt balance.

 

  
 7

 

 

Vesta’s third quarter 2023 foreign exchange loss was US$ 2.15 million, compared to a US$ 0.75 million loss in third quarter 2022. The loss relates primarily to sequential currency movement in Vesta’s dollar-denominated debt balance during third quarter 2023 within WTN, the Company’s only subsidiary that uses the Mexican peso as its functional currency.

 

Third quarter 2023 valuation of investment properties resulted in a US$ 95.16 million gain, compared to a US$ 62.99 million gain in the third quarter of 2022. This year-on-year increase is driven by an increase in the portfolio and higher market rents.

Total Comprehensive Income for the period 78.98 62.26 n/a 212.24     167.95 n/a

 

Due to the above factors, third quarter 2023 profit before income tax amounted to US$ 130.98 million, compared to US$ 88.72 million for the same quarter last year.

 

Income Tax Expense

 

Vesta reported a US$ 54.76 million income tax expense, compared to a US$ 26.74 million expense in the third quarter 2022. The third quarter 2023 current tax expense was US$ 31.57 million, compared to a US$ 6.53 million expense in third quarter 2022, an increase due to a higher exchange rate related current tax during third quarter 2023.

 

Deferred taxes primarily reflect: [i] the effect on the Company’s balance sheet of the exchange rate used to convert taxable assets from Mexican pesos (including the monetary value of Vesta’s investment properties and the amortized tax loss benefits ) into U.S. dollars at the end of the third quarter 2023 and 2022; [ii] the impact of an inflationary benefit on the tax base of the Company’s fiscal assets, in keeping with Mexican income tax laws; and, [iii] the recognition of the fair value of investment properties for accounting purposes, as tax assessed on these assets is based on their historical cost which is then appreciated.

 

Third Quarter 2023 Gain

 

Due to the above, the Company’s third quarter 2023 profit was US$ 76.22 million, compared to US$ 61.97 million profit in the third quarter 2022.

Stabilized Portfolio

 

Vesta currently reports stabilized portfolio occupancy and same store occupancy as management believes these metrics are useful indicators of the performance of the Company’s operating portfolio. The additional metrics are intended to reflect market best practices and better enable the comparison of Vesta’s performance with the performance of its public industrial real estate peers.

 

Under the "operating portfolio" calculation, the measure will include properties that have reached 80% occupancy or have been completed for more than one year, whichever occurs first.

Revenues increased 20.6% to US$ 157.56 million for the accumulated nine months of 2023, compared to US$ 130.60 million in 2022, while operating costs increased to US$ 13.37 million, or 74.4%, compared to US$ 7.67 million in 2022, primarily due to the increase in expenses related to those properties which generate income as well as those which did not generate rental income. Adjusted Net operating income for the nine months 2023 was US$ 148.20 million compared to US$ 124.48 million in the same period of 2022.

At the close of September 30, 2023, administrative expenses increased by 22.7% to US$ 21.33 million in 2023, from US$ 17.38 million in 2022, primarily due to increased expenses related to employee benefits, auditing, legal and consulting expenses and to Vesta´s employees long-term incentive plan.

 

Total other income for the nine months of 2023 was US$ 158.96 million, compared to US$ 112.56 million in the prior year. The result reflects an increase in interest income, exchange gain and a gain on the revaluation of investment properties.

 

The Company’s profit before tax therefore amounted to US$ 281.77 million for the first nine months of 2023.

 

Income tax for the nine months ending September 30, 2023 resulted in a US$ 78.97 million expense, compared to US$ 52.09 million expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This year-on-year increase was primarily due to a higher current tax during the nine months of 2023.

 

Profit for the nine months of 2023 was US$ 202.81 million, compared to US$ 164.93 million in the same period of 2022, due to factors described above.

 

Vesta ended the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 with US$ 212.24 million in total comprehensive income, compared to US$ 167.95 million at the end of the nine-months of 2022 period, due to the factors previously described. This gain was partially increased by a US$ 9.43 million gain in functional currency operations.

 

Capex for the nine months of 2023 reached US$ 195.67 million and was related to investment property development.

Definitions / Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

 

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, NOI, Adjusted NOI and Adjusted NOI margin

 

The table below sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, NOI and Adjusted NOI to profit for the period, the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, for each of the periods indicated, as reported in the Company’s financial statements. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as the sum of profit for the period adjusted by (a) total income tax expense (b) interest income, (c) other income-net, (d) finance costs, (e) exchange gain (loss) - net, (f) gain on sale of investment property, (g) gain on revaluation of investment property, (h) depreciation and (i) long-term incentive plan and equity plus during the relevant period. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues. We calculate NOI as the sum of Adjusted EBITDA plus general and administrative expenses, minus long-term incentive plan and equity plus during the relevant period. We calculate Adjusted NOI as the sum of NOI plus property operating costs related to properties that did not generate rental income during the relevant period. We calculate Adjusted NOI margin as Adjusted NOI divided by total revenues.

 

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not a financial measures recognized under IFRS and do not purport to be an alternative to profit or total comprehensive income for the period as measures of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities a measures of liquidity. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not intended to be measures of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use, as they does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments and tax payments. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to measure and evaluate the operating performance of our principal business (which consists of developing, leasing and managing industrial properties)

before our cost of capital and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure commonly used in our industry, and we present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to supplement investor understanding of our operating performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide investors and analysts with measures of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and fair value adjustments of related assets among otherwise comparable companies.

 

NOI, Adjusted NOI and Adjusted NOI margin are not financial measures recognized under IFRS and do not purport to be alternatives to profit for the period or total comprehensive income as measures of operating performance. NOI, Adjusted NOI and Adjusted NOI margin are supplemental industry reporting measures used to evaluate the performance of our investments in real estate assets and our operating results. In addition, Adjusted NOI is a leading indicator of the trends related to NOI as we typically have a strong development portfolio of “speculative buildings.” Under IAS 40, we have adopted the fair value model to measure our investment property and, for that reason, our financial statements do not reflect depreciation nor amortization of our investment properties, and therefore such items are not part of the calculations of NOI, Adjusted NOI or Adjusted NOI margin. We believe that NOI is useful to investors as a performance measure and that it provides useful information regarding our results of operations and financial condition because, when compared across periods, it reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and development activity on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from profit for the year. For example, interest expense is not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset and is often incurred at the corporate level as opposed to the property level. Similarly, interest expense may be incurred at the property level even though the financing proceeds may be used at the corporate level (e.g., used for other investment activity). As so defined, NOI, Adjusted NOI and Adjusted NOI margin may not be comparable to net operating income or similar measures reported by other real estate companies that define NOI, Adjusted NOI or Adjusted NOI margin differently.

Reconciliation of FFO and Vesta FFO

 

The table below sets forth a reconciliation of FFO and Vesta FFO to profit for the period, the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, for each of the periods indicated, as reported in the Company’s financial statements. FFO is calculated as profit for the period, excluding: (i) gain on sale of investment property and (ii) gain on revaluation of investment property. We calculate Vesta FFO as the sum of FFO, as adjusted for the impact of exchange gain (loss) - net, other income – net, interest income, total income tax expense, depreciation and long-term incentive plan and equity plus.

 

The Company believes that Vesta FFO is useful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it excludes the effects of certain items which can create significant earnings volatility, but which do not directly relate to our business operations. We believe Vesta FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods, while also providing a more meaningful predictor of future earnings potential. Additionally, since Vesta FFO does not capture the level of capital expenditures per maintenance and improvements to maintain the operating performance of properties, which has a material economic impact on operating results, we believe Vesta FFO’s usefulness as a measure of performance may be limited.

 

Our computation of FFO and Vesta FFO may not be comparable to FFO measures reported by other REITs or real estate companies that define or interpret the FFO definition differently. FFO and Vesta FFO should not be considered as a substitute for net profit for the period attributable to our common shareholders.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

(In US dollars)

 

1.General information

 

Corporación Inmobiliaria Vesta, S. A. B. de C. V. (“Vesta”) is an entity incorporated in Mexico. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is Paseo de los Tamarindos 90, 28th floor, Mexico City.

 

Vesta and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Entity”) are engaged in the development, acquisition and operation of industrial buildings and distribution facilities that are rented to corporations in eleven states throughout Mexico.

 

1.1 Significant event

 

·On June 29, 2023, Vesta entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., BofA Securities, Inc. and Barclays Capital Inc., as representative of the underwriters, relating to Vesta’s initial public offering (the “Offering”) of 125,000,000 Common Shares in the form of American Depositary Shares (the “ADS”) each ADS representing 10 Common Shares of Vesta’s common stock (“common stock”), which included the exercise by the underwriters in full of the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 18,750,000 shares of Vesta’s common stock, at an Offering price of $31.00 US dollars per ADS.

 

The closing of the Offering for the ADS’s took place on July 5, 2023, raising gross proceeds of approximately $445,000,000, which included 18,750,000 shares sold by Vesta upon the exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option in full. Issuance expenses were approximately $21,340,300. Vesta intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund growth strategy including the acquisition of land or properties and related infrastructure investments, and for the development of industrial buildings.

 

·On September 1, 2022 Vesta announced a new $200,000,000 sustainability linked revolving credit facility with various financial institutions. As a part of such revolving credit, Vesta paid debt issuance costs in an amount of $1,092,316. As of September 30, 2023 no amount has been drawn from this revolving credit facility.

 

2.Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

 

New and amended IFRS Accounting Standards that are effective for the current period

 

There are no accounting pronouncements which have become effective from January 1, 2023 that have a significant impact on the Group’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

3.Significant accounting policies

 

a.Basis of preparation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for investment properties and financial instruments that are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.

 

i.Historical cost

 

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

 

6 

 

ii.Fair value

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Entity takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of International Financial Reporting Standard (“IFRS”) 2, Share-based Payments.

 

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

 

·Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

 

·Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

 

·Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 

iii.Going concern

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by Management assuming that the Entity will continue to operate as a going concern.

 

b.Interim financial condensed statements

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of September 30, 2023 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and have not been audited. In the opinion of Entity management, all adjustments (consisting mainly of ordinary, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements are included. The results of the periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Entity and their respective notes for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

The accounting policies and methods of computation are consistent with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, except as mentioned in the preceding paragraph.

 

c.Segment

 

The Entity’s primary business is the acquisition, development, and management of industrial and distribution center real estate. Vesta manages its operations on an aggregated, single segment basis for purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions and, accordingly, has only one reporting and operating segment. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all of our assets and operations are derived from assets located within Mexico.

 

7 

 

4.Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

 

In preparing these interim financial statements, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Entity’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual consolidated financial statements.

 

5.Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash

 

For purposes of the condensed consolidated interim statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks, including restricted cash. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the reporting period as shown in the condensed consolidated interim statement of cash flows can be reconciled to the related items in the condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position as follows:

 

   September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
  December 31, 2022
       
Cash and bank balances  $407,919,630   $139,056,863 
Restricted cash   263,027    90,222 
    408,182,657    139,147,085 
Non-current restricted cash   735,312    735,312 
Total  $408,917,969   $139,882,397 
 

Restricted cash represents balances held by the Entity that are only available for use under certain conditions pursuant to the loan agreements entered into by the Entity. Such conditions include payment of monthly debt service fee and compliance with certain covenants set forth in the loan agreement. These restrictions are classified according to their restriction period: less than 12 months and over one year, considering the period of time in which such restrictions are fulfilled. Non-current restricted cash was classified within guaranteed deposits made, restricted cash and others in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position.

 

Non-cash transactions

 

Changes in liabilities arising from financing activities not requiring cash relate to a decrease for the amortization of debt issuance costs for $1,122,156 and $1,170,165 in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Unpaid dividends are included in Note 11.4. Other non-cash investing activities related to investment properties are included in Note 8.

 

6.Recoverable taxes

 

   September 30, 2023

Recoverable dividend tax   421,209    1,818,971 
Other receivables   724,146    296,973 
           
   $31,264,979   $30,088,473 
 
7.Operating lease receivables, prepaid expenses and advance payments

 

i.The aging profile of operating lease receivables as of the dates indicated below are as follows:

 

8 

 

   September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
  December 31, 2022
       
0-30 days  $7,438,650   $6,732,985 
30-60 days   498,021    260,832 
60-90 days   309,711    610,770 
Over 90 days   325,275    85,608 
           
Total  $8,571,657   $7,690,195 
 

Pursuant to the lease agreements, rental payments should be received within 30 days following their due date; thereafter the payment is considered past due. As shown in the table above, 87% and 88% of all operating lease receivables are current as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

 

All rental payments past due are monitored by the Entity; for receivables outstanding from 30 to 90 days, efforts are made to collect payment from the respective client. Operating lease receivables outstanding for more than 30 days but less than 60 days represent 6% and 3% of all operating lease receivables as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Operating lease receivables outstanding for more than 60 and less than 90 days represent 4% and 8% of all operating lease receivable as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Operating lease receivables outstanding greater than 90 days represent 4% and 1% of all operating lease receivable as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

 

ii.Movement in the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable

 

Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the operating lease receivable.

 

The following table shows the movement in expected credit losses that has been recognized for the lease receivable:

 

   Amounts
    
Balance as of January 1, 2022  $1,957,935 
Increase in loss allowance recognized in the period   180,609 
Decrease in loss allowance from derecognition of financial assets in the period   (477,802)
Balance as of September 30, 2022 (Unaudited)  $1,660,742 
      
Balance as of January 1, 2023  $1,916,124 
Increase in loss allowance recognized in the period   684,174 
Decrease in loss allowance from derecognition of financial assets in the period   (333,523)

iii.Client concentration risk

 

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, one of the Entity’s client accounts for 38% or $3,239,063 (Unaudited) and 42% or $3,249,692 respectively, of the operating lease receivables balance. The same client accounted for 5.5% and 5.4% (Unaudited) of the total rental income of Entity for the nine-months period ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. No other client accounted for more than 10% of the total rental income of the Entity for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

iv.Leasing agreements

 

Operating leases relate to non-cancellable lease agreements over the investment properties owned by the Entity, which generally have terms ranging between 5 to 15 years, with options to extend the term up to a total term of 20 years. Rents are customarily payable on a monthly basis and are adjusted annually according to applicable inflation indices (US and Mexican inflation indices). Security deposits are typically equal to one or two months’ rent. Obtaining property insurance (third party liability) and operating maintenance are obligations of the tenants.

 

9 

 

All lease agreements include a rescission clause that entitles the Entity to collect all unpaid rents during the remaining term of the lease agreement in the event that the client defaults in its rental payments, vacates the properties, terminates the lease agreement or enters into bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. All lease agreements are classified as operating leases and do not include purchase options.

 

v.Non-cancellable operating lease receivables

 

Future minimum lease payments receivable under non-cancellable operating lease agreements are as follows:

 

   September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
  December 31, 2022
       
Not later than 1 year  $198,044,817   $155,267,112 
Later than 1 year and not later than 3 years   326,887,221    250,043,235 
Later than 3 year and not later than 5 years   306,239,134    209,592,871 
Later than 5 years   195,524,025    154,909,895 
           
   $1,026,695,197   $769,813,113 
 
vi.Prepaid expenses and advance payments

 

   September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
  December 31, 2022
       
Advance payments (1)  $19,630,091   $17,201,933 
Other accounts receivables (2)   737,227    7,486,147 
Property expenses   822,012    543,804 
Prepaid expenses   244,267    76,467 
           
   $21,433,597   $25,308,351 
 
(1)During the second quarter of 2022 the Entity entered into an agreement for the procurement, permissioning and other condition of several plots of land; if the conditions are met within a period of 18 months, or an additional 18-month extension, the advance deposit will be considered part of the final transaction price, otherwise approximately $1 million will be forfeited to the counterparty and expensed; the remainder amount will be reimbursed to the Entity.

 

(2)As state in Note 8 the Entity sold land reserves located in Queretaro, the outstanding balance as of December 31, 2022 was received in the first quarter of 2023.

 

8.Investment property

 

The Entity uses external appraisers in order to determine the fair value for all of its investment properties. The independent appraisers, who hold recognized and relevant professional qualifications and have vast experience in the types of investment properties, owned by the Entity, use valuation techniques such as the discounted cash flows approach, replacement cost approach and income cap rate approach. The techniques used include assumptions, the majority of which are not directly observable in the market, to estimate the fair value of the Entity’s investment property such as discount rates, long-term NOI, inflation rates, absorption periods and market rents.

 

10 

 

The values, determined by the external appraisers quarterly, are recognized as the fair value of the Entity’s investment property at the end of each reporting period. The appraisers use a discounted cash flow approach to determine the fair value of land and buildings (using the expected net operating income (“NOI”) of the investment property) and a market approach to determine the fair value of land reserves. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values are included in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive (loss) income in the period in which they arise.

 

The Entity’s investment properties are located in Mexico and they are classified as Level 3 in the IFRS fair value hierarchy. The following table provides information about how the fair values of the investment properties are determined (in particular, the valuation technique and inputs used).

 

Property   Fair value hierarchy   Valuation techniques   Significant unobservable inputs   Value/range   Relationship of unobservable inputs to fair value
                     
Buildings and land   Level 3   Discounted cash flows   Discount rate  

Q3 2023: 7.00% to12.21%

2022:      7.50% to 12.24%

  The higher the discount rate, the lower the fair value.
                     
            Exit cap rate  

Q3 2023: 6.50% to 8.75%

2022      : 6.50% to 8.99%

  The higher the exit cap rate, the lower the fair value
                     
            Long-term NOI   Based on contractual rent and then on market related rents   The higher the NOI, the higher the fair value.
                     
            Inflation rates  

Mexico: 

Q3 2023: 3.6% to 5.0%

2022:       3.4% to 5.0%

U.S.: 

Q3 2023: 2.2% to 3.5%

2022:       2.1% to 3.5%

 

The higher the inflation rate, the higher the fair value.

 

                     
           

Absorption period

 

 

12 months on average

 

  The shorter the absorption period, the higher the fair value.

15.Income taxes

 

The Entity is subject to Current Income Tax (“ISR”). The rate of ISR was 30%.

 

Income tax expense is recognized at an amount determined by multiplying the profit before tax for the interim reporting period by management’s best estimate of the weighted-average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year, adjusted for the tax effect of certain items recognized in full in the interim period. As such, the effective tax rate in the interim financial statements may differ from management’s estimate of the effective tax rate for the annual financial statements.

 

The Entity’s consolidated effective tax rate for the nine-month period and the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 was 28% and 41.8%, respectively(nine-month period and three-month period ended September 30, 2022 was 24% and 30.1%, respectively). The change in effective tax rate was caused mainly by the difference in exchange rates used in for the conversion of tax balances and foreign operation into US dollar.
