BROOKFIELD NEWS, Feb. 07, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brookfield Property Partners L.P. (NASDAQ: BPY; NASDAQ: BPR; TSX: BPY.UN) (“BPY”) today announced financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018. In addition, the Partnership announced its intention to launch a Substantial Issuer Bid (“SIB”) to repurchase up to an aggregate of $500 million of BPY units and Class A shares of Brookfield Property REIT Inc. at a price of at least $19.00 per unit but not more than $21.00 per unit.
“2018 was a transformational year for BPY as we grew our earnings, continued our capital recycling initiatives, completed the acquisition of GGP and launched BPR, our new U.S. REIT,” said Brian Kingston, chief executive officer. “With our fifth consecutive year of increased Company FFO per unit, we are pleased to announce that we are raising the quarterly distribution to unitholders by 5% and will also be allocating a significant amount of capital to repurchase our own units at a substantial discount to their underlying value.”

See reconciliation of basic net income in the "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures" section in this press release.
Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 was $858 million ($0.51 per unit) versus $958 million ($0.17 per unit) for the same period in 2017. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $3.65 billion ($2.28 per unit) compared with $2.47 billion ($0.48 per unit) in 2017.
Company FFO was $416 million ($0.43 per unit) for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, compared with $286 million ($0.41 per unit) for the same period in 2017. Company FFO was $1.18 billion ($1.48 per unit) for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared with $1.02 billion ($1.44 per unit) in 2017. The increases in Company FFO for the quarter and year are primarily attributable to our increased investment in core retail and its seasonally strong performance in the fourth quarter, along with same-property income growth in the core office business. This strong operating performance more than offset the impact of a higher interest rate environment and the negative impact of converting foreign currency into U.S. dollars.
Operating Highlights
Our core office operations generated Company FFO of $170 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 compared to $148 million in the same period in 2017 and $608 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $532 million on a comparable basis in 2017. The increases over the prior year reporting periods are primarily attributable to same-property growth, offset in part by the negative impact of converting foreign currency into U.S. dollars, and the reallocation of capital from asset sales to our other businesses.
Occupancy in our core office portfolio increased 60 basis points during the fourth quarter to 93.5% on 3.3 million square feet of total leasing. Leases signed in the fourth quarter were at average rents 8% higher than leases that expired in the period. Total leasing for the year was 7.8 million square feet and occupancy increased 90 basis points during the year.
Our core retail operations generated Company FFO of $270 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 compared to $158 million in the comparable period in 2017 and $651 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $515 million in 2017. The increases in Company FFO over the prior quarter and year periods are primarily attributable to the acquisition of GGP in August 2018.
Core same-property retail occupancy finished the year at 96.5% on 9.6 million square feet of total leasing, with average initial suite-to-suite rent spreads of 11% on an NOI-weighted basis. NOI-weighted tenant sales per square foot increased 6% in 2018 to $746.
Our LP investments generated Company FFO of $77 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, compared to $89 million in the comparable period in 2017 and $330 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $335 million in 2017. The decrease in Company FFO over the prior reporting periods was largely a result of the sale of stabilized investments in this segment, where proceeds were reinvested but are not yet yielding comparable income. This was offset in part by strong same-property growth in existing investments.

Strategic Initiatives
Dispositions
In total for 2018, we participated in approximately $8 billion of gross asset dispositions at our share, sold on average at prices approximately 5% higher than our carrying IFRS values. These sales generated approximately $3.6 billion in net proceeds to BPY during the year. Dispositions completed in the fourth quarter include:
LP Investments
- Sold U.S. logistics property business, IDI Logistics, for $3.5 billion, generating net proceeds of $482 million to BPY.
- Sold 21 multifamily properties in the U.S. for an aggregate of $1.2 billion, generating net proceeds of $207 million to BPY.
- Sold the Pullman Melbourne Hotel for A$156 million, generating net proceeds of $34 million to BPY.
- Sold the Highline Dallas hotel for $68 million, generating net proceeds of $5 million to BPY.
Core Assets
- Sold the office buildings at 10 & 12 Shelley St. in Sydney for A$804 million, generating net proceeds of $311 million to BPY.
- Sold a 48% interest in a portfolio of five high-quality assets in Sydney and Perth. Net proceeds to BPY were $150 million.
- Sold 49% of Fashion Place mall in Murray, UT for $594 million, generating net proceeds of $160 million to BPY.
- Sold a 49% interest in 2001 M. Street in Washington, DC for $250 million, generating net proceeds of $38 million to BPY.
- Sold 1550 Wilson Blvd. and 1560 Wilson Blvd. in Arlington, VA for $103 million, generating net proceeds of $38 million to BPY.
New Investments
The following new LP investments were made during the fourth quarter:
- Completed the acquisition of Forest City Realty Trust Inc. for approximately $6.9 billion ($486 million at BPY’s share).
- Acquired a 90% interest in a student housing and aparthotel operator and developer in France for €298 million ($330 million) ($22 million at BPY’s share).
- Acquired the PGA National Hotel and Resort in Palm Beach, FL for $221 million ($15 million at BPY’s share).
- Acquired 10 triple net lease properties for an aggregate of $118 million ($34 million at BPY’s share).
- Acquired three extended-stay hotels in Tampa, FL for $42 million ($11 million at BPY’s share).
- Acquired an aparthotel development in Lisbon, Portugal for €39 million ($45 million) ($3 million at BPY’s share).
BSREP III
Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“BAM”) recently closed its successor opportunistic property fund (“the Fund”) with total capital of $15 billion. BPY committed $1 billion to this Fund and BAM committed the balance of Brookfield’s total commitment of $3.75 billion. The commitment by BPY is a smaller percentage than its investment in the prior opportunistic property fund as its excess capital is expected to be utilized to repurchase its units.
Balance Sheet Update
During the quarter, we executed on the following transactions to increase our balance sheet flexibility, increase liquidity and extend the maturity of our debt:
- Refinanced Potsdamer Platz for €1.1 billion.
- Refinanced the Wells Fargo Center South Tower in Los Angeles for $253 million.
- Refinanced five core retail assets for an aggregate of $552 million.
Unit Repurchase Program
Utilizing BPY’s in-place NCIB, the Partnership purchased 3,927,910 of its Limited Partnership units in the fourth quarter of 2018 at an average price of $17.04 per unit. In 2018, the total units purchased under the NCIB were 4,661,145 units at an average price of $17.35 per unit.
Distribution Increase and Declaration
The Board of Directors approved an increase in the Partnership’s quarterly distribution from $0.315 to $0.33 per unit ($1.32 per unit on an annual basis). Accordingly, the Board of Directors has declared a quarterly distribution of $0.33 per unit payable on March 29, 2019 to unitholders of record at the close of business on February 28, 2019.
The quarterly distributions 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.
Board of Directors Update
The Board of Directors of BPY is pleased to announce the appointment of a new director, Scott R. Cutler. Mr. Cutler brings an impressive resume of experience in the technology and finance industries, recently having served in senior leadership positions at eBay, StubHub and the New York Stock Exchange.
Additional Information
Further details regarding the operations of the Partnership are set forth in regulatory filings. A copy of the filings may be obtained through the website of the SEC at www.sec.gov and on the Partnership’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
The Partnership’s quarterly letter to unitholders and supplemental information package can be accessed before the market open on February 7, 2019 at bpy.brookfield.com. This additional information should be read in conjunction with this press release.
Basis of Presentation
This press release and accompanying financial information make reference to net operating income (“NOI”), same-property NOI, funds from operations (“FFO”), Company FFO (“Company FFO”) and net income attributable to unitholders.
Company FFO and net income attributable to unitholders are also presented on a per unit basis. NOI, same-property NOI, FFO, Company FFO 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 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 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 and the FFO that would have been attributable to unitholders’ shares of GGP Inc. (“GGP”), if all outstanding warrants of GGP were exercised. Prior to the third quarter of 2017, the adjustment assumed net settlement of the outstanding warrants. For the third quarter 2017, the adjustment is based on the cash settlement for all applicable warrants to reflect the Partnership’s stated plans for settling the warrants on such a basis. The warrants were exercised in the fourth quarter of 2017. Company FFO, similar to FFO discussed above, provides a performance measure that reflects the impact on operations of trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and interest costs. In addition, the adjustments to Company FFO relative to FFO allow the Partnership insight into these trends for the real estate operations, by adjusting for non-real estate components.
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. and limited partnership units of Brookfield Office Properties Exchange LP. 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.

| (3) Represents incremental FFO that would have been attributable to the Partnership's shares of GGP, if all outstanding warrants of GGP had been exercised including the dilution to FFO as a result of the issuance of additional common shares by GGP to give effect to the warrant exercise. Prior to the third quarter of 2017, the adjustment assumed net settlement of the outstanding warrants. For the third quarter 2017, the adjustment is based on the cash settlement for all applicable warrants to reflect the Partnership’s settlement of the warrants on such a basis. The warrants were exercised in the fourth quarter of 2017. | |||||||||||||
