- FFO per unit was $0.46, an increase of $0.01 per unit or 2.2% over the same period last year. Strong operating performance and completed developments increased NOI. This growth was partially offset by disposed NOI relating to the sale of lower quality commercial properties. Increases in interest income and fee and other income were offset by higher interest expense.
- Net income of $96.9 million was $170.4 million higher than the same period last year. In addition to the items described above, net income included a $159.0 million favourable change in the fair value of investment properties.
- We maintained financial flexibility with an FFO Payout Ratio1 of 61.7% and Liquidity1 of $1.3 billion, while our Adjusted Debt to Adjusted EBITDA1 improved to 9.1x. Our financial standing strengthened further with $1.05 billion of financing at an average interest rate of 4.48% in the form of debentures, term loans and CMHC mortgages completed since reporting our Q2 2024 results.

Outlook
- We are on track to achieve our original FFO guidance for the year of $1.79 to $1.82 per unit, excluding a Q4 2024 restructuring charge following a corporate reorganization subsequent to quarter end. In Q4 2024, we reduced our workforce by approximately 9.5% and expect the resulting charge to be approximately $9 million or $0.03 FFO per unit. Annualized cash savings of approximately $8 million are anticipated, with an estimated net G&A impact of approximately $4 million. The corporate restructuring is part of RioCan’s ongoing responsible cost management, enhances workflow efficiency, and optimizes resource allocation to better align with business needs.
- Commercial Same Property NOI excluding provision1 is projected to grow between 2.0% and 2.5% in 2024. Following previously disclosed tenant vacancies, we used the opportunity to add more relevant and resilient retailers at higher rents. The time required to build out space for users such as grocers is longer, impacting this metric in the current year while our Commercial SPNOI growth target for future years remains at ~3%.
- RioCan does not intend to commence new physical construction of mixed-use properties in 2024 and well into 2025. Development Spending1 on mixed-use projects, which were in progress prior to the reduction in new construction starts, is expected to be between $250 million to $300 million. Development Spending for retail in-fill projects is expected to be between $30 million to $40 million.

Information presented as at respective periods then ended. |
- A new leasing spread of 24.2% drove the blended leasing spread to 14.2%. Renewal leasing spreads were also healthy at 12.6%. The portfolio's strength and the supply constraint of quality retail space create sustained leasing momentum.
- 1.3 million square feet of space was leased in the quarter including 251 thousand square feet of new leases.
- Committed occupancy and retail committed occupancy reached record highs of 97.8% and 98.6%, respectively, both up 30 basis points sequentially, reflecting rising demand for RioCan's premium retail portfolio.
- Commercial in-place occupancy of 97.0% increased 40 basis points from Q2 2024 due to tenants taking possession.
- As at September 30, 2024, all 10 of the initial vacant units that resulted from tenant failures discussed in prior quarters have been leased. As of November 11, 2024, tenants at four of those locations are paying cash rent. Cash rents from the remaining six locations will commence at varying points over the next 11 months. These units were backfilled by relevant and resilient retailers at improved lease terms featuring 23.9% higher base rents on a weighted average basis, further improving the portfolio's overall quality and cash flow growth.
- Finalized a land lease for a 158,000 square foot Costco at RioCan Centre Burloak. As part of our ongoing initiatives to continuously improve tenant quality and the quality of our shopping centres, we strategically replaced fashion-focused tenants with a strong, service-based anchor. This is expected to attract significant traffic, draw other tenants and enhance the overall appeal of the property.
- Commercial Same Property NOI excluding provision1 increased by 0.8% for the Third Quarter and 1.3% year-to-date. We expect continued improvement in this metric as signed tenancies reach cash rent commencement.
- Strong and stable tenants comprised 87.9% of annualized net rent, an improvement of 50 basis points year-over-year.

RioCan Living Update 1
- Total NOI from our residential rental operations was $7.9 million, an increase of $2.3 million or 40.9% over the same period last year. Residential Same Property NOI2 growth was 5.2% for the Third Quarter and 6.0% year-to-date.
- RioCan LivingTM currently operates 14 buildings, with a fair value of $1.1 billion, comprised of 3,160 residential units in operation with 12 of these buildings stabilized. These stabilized buildings are 94.7% leased as of November 11, 2024.
- Construction of suites at FourFifty The WellTM was completed in the first half of 2024. As of November 11, 2024, 85.8% of the units are leased at rents in-line with expectations. Due to construction completion in the Second Quarter, we stopped the capitalization of interest expense and other carrying costs relating to this property, which resulted in a year-to-date short-term negative FFO impact of $2.0 million. We expect a positive contribution as the NOI from the property ramps up.
- As at September 30, 2024, approximately 90% of the total units from RioCan’s six active condominium construction projects have been pre-sold. RioCan expects to generate sales revenue of approximately $607 million between the remainder of 2024 and 2026 from these condominium and townhouse construction projects. This amount was reduced from $700 million at the end of the prior quarter and $800 million at the beginning of the year predominantly due to the sales of partial interests in the 11YV project, see below. Of the expected proceeds, approximately $516 million relates to pre-sold units. These units are under legally binding contracts, with the majority sold at prices below current market values, and an average deposit of 18.5% of the purchase price. These factors motivate buyers to close on their purchase. The funds received will be allocated towards repaying the construction loans associated with the condominium projects, with residual return of equity and profits flowing to the corporate balance sheet.
- The Trust sold a 12.5% interest in the 11YV project in the Third Quarter, decreasing its interest in the project to 12.5% and resulting in a gain of $11.6 million. Together with the disposition of the 12.5% interest in 11YV in Q1 2024, these sales have resulted in the acceleration of $180 million of the approximate $800 million of sales revenue expected at the beginning of the year. These dispositions accelerate revenue, reduce our exposure to condominiums and preserve capital as purchasers assume the costs-to-complete and debt obligations.

- During the Third Quarter, $38.1 million or 30,000 square feet of properties under development were transferred to income producing properties.
- Value recognized in the Trust's residential inventory and properties under development balances for zoned projects, excluding those under construction, is $30.66 per square foot and $19.38 per square foot for the total pipeline.
- High foot traffic at The WellTM continues to surpass expectations with significant momentum from the official opening of Wellington MarketTM in Q2 2024. As of November 11, 2024, 97% of The Well's total commercial space is leased with 93% or 1,387,000 square feet (at 100% ownership interest) in tenant possession. The retail space is 95% leased, with more than three quarters of the space open and operating. Additional retail tenants are expected to open in the coming months.
Investing and Capital Recycling
- As of November 11, 2024, closed, firm and conditional dispositions totalled $124.9 million. Closed investment property dispositions in 2024 included an enclosed centre, a cinema-anchored property and three open-air centres for combined sales proceeds of $41.8 million, with $11.8 million closing subsequent to quarter-end. Conditional transactions include the disposal of a portion of an open-air retail site in Quebec for estimated proceeds at 84% above the IFRS carrying value, after deducting costs related to tenant relocation and other items.
- A firm agreement was entered into after quarter-end by the Trust and its co-owner to sell Strada, a residential property located in downtown Toronto, for sale proceeds of $24.0 million for RioCan's 50% interest. The sale is expected to close in the coming months upon the assignment of the $15.0 million CMHC mortgage (at RioCan's interest) with a contractual interest rate of 4.29%. The sales price represents a 6% premium to the Trust's IFRS carrying value.
- RioCan issued $30.4 million of new loans as part of its real estate lending program in the Third Quarter, bringing the year-to-date total of new loans advanced to $154.0 million, earning an average interest rate of 11.0%. Repayment of existing loans totalled $39.9 million on a year-to-date basis.
Capital Management Update
-
Since reporting Second Quarter 2024 results, RioCan secured $1.05 billion in financing with a weighted average term to maturity of 6.4 years and a weighted average interest rate of 4.48% per annum, including the impact of bond forward hedges. The net proceeds have been allocated to paying off higher interest rate loans and will address near-term mortgage maturities, collectively having a weighted average interest rate of 5.87%. The specifics of this recent financing activity are:
- During the Third Quarter, the Trust completed $147.8 million of CMHC financing with a 10-year term at a fixed rate of 3.97%. The net loan proceeds were used to repay a higher interest floating rate construction loan.
- On October 2, 2024, RioCan extended the maturity date of the $200.0 million non-revolving unsecured credit facility to January 31, 2030, at a hedged annual all-in fixed interest rate of 4.47%.
- On October 3, 2024, RioCan issued senior unsecured debentures totalling $700.0 million in two series; $500.0 million Series AL senior unsecured debentures, with a coupon rate of 4.623% per annum maturing on October 3, 2031, and $200.0 million Series AM senior unsecured debentures, with a coupon rate of 4.004% per annum maturing on March 1, 2028.
- A portion of the debenture proceeds were used on October 4, 2024, to redeem, in full, its $300.0 million, 6.488% 3NC1 Series AI senior unsecured debentures due September 29, 2026 in accordance with their terms.
- The net proceeds were also used to replenish our liquidity by repaying the $252.0 million drawn balance on the revolving unsecured operating line of credit as at September 30, 2024.

- Adjusted Debt to Adjusted EBITDA of 9.1x on a proportionate share basis as at September 30, 2024, compared to 9.3x as at the end of 2023 and 9.5x as at Q3 2023. The decrease was primarily due to higher Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by higher Average Total Adjusted Debt balances. We expect to reach the high end of the 8.0x - 9.0x long-term target range by the end of this year.
- Weighted average term to maturity was 3.50 years, compared to 2.97 years as at December 31, 2023.
- As at September 30, 2024, Liquidity of $1.3 billion included $1.0 billion available on the revolving line of credit and $0.3 billion in undrawn construction lines and other bank loans. Liquidity decreased by $624.1 million when compared to the prior year-end, returning to more typical levels, due to timing of capital recycling, investment and financing activities.
- RioCan’s Unencumbered Assets were $8.2 billion as at September 30, 2024, increasing from the beginning of the year due to mortgage repayments.

RioCan owns, manages and develops retail-focused, mixed-use properties located in prime, high-density transit-oriented areas where Canadians want to shop, live and work.

Basis of Presentation and Non-GAAP Measures
All figures included in this News Release are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. RioCan’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements ("Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements") are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Financial information included within this News Release does not contain all disclosures required by IFRS, and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the Trust's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and MD&A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, which are available on RioCan's website at www.riocan.com and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com.
Consistent with RioCan’s management framework, management uses certain financial measures to assess RioCan’s financial performance, which are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) under IFRS. Funds From Operations (“FFO”), FFO per unit, Net Operating Income ("NOI"), Same Property NOI, Commercial Same Property NOI ("Commercial SPNOI"), Commercial Same Property NOI excluding provision, Residential Same Property NOI ("Residential SPNOI"), Development Spending, Ratio of floating rate debt to total debt, Liquidity, Adjusted Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, RioCan's Proportionate Share, Unencumbered Assets as well as other measures that may be discussed elsewhere in this News Release, do not have a standardized definition prescribed by IFRS and are, therefore, unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other reporting issuers. RioCan supplements its IFRS measures with these Non-GAAP measures to aid in assessing the Trust’s underlying performance and reports these additional measures so that investors may do the same. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income or comparable metrics determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of RioCan’s performance, liquidity, cash flow, and profitability. For full definitions of these measures, please refer to the "Non-GAAP Measures” section in RioCan’s MD&A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

(i) |
The fair value gains and losses on marketable securities may include both the change in unrealized fair value and realized gains and losses on the sale of marketable securities. By adding back the change in unrealized fair value on marketable securities, RioCan effectively continues to include realized gains and losses on the sale of marketable securities in Adjusted EBITDA and excludes unrealized fair value gains and losses on marketable securities in Adjusted EBITDA. |
