Governance and administration

The governance of our FIBRA and administration of the assets it owns is of primary importance to us. Through effective and transparent governance and administration of our assets, we seek to create long-term value for our investors and enjoy long term relationships with our customers.

Our experience

FIBRA Macquarie provides consistently strong operational and financial performance by putting customers and investors first. Below are some examples that demonstrate this proactive approach to disciplined capital allocation and creating long-term value through expansions, development and strong capital management.

Situation

  • lack of availability of class A properties on the market in core locations and accretive prices
  • demand for class A buildings in Reynosa was high and our Reynosa portfolio was nearly fully occupied
  • saw opportunity to achieve accretive, double-digit NOI yield through developing new building
  • aim is to have a maximum of 5% of assets under construction at any point in time, maintaining FIBRAMQ’s current risk profile.

Outcome

  • successful completion of FIBRAMQ’s first development
  • constructed a 145k sqft, class A building in the premier industrial park in Reynosa
  • space is already 50% leased to a high quality logistics tenant
  • represents successful initiation of FIBRAMQ’s development program.

 

Situation

  • Fábricas de Francia, a Liverpool brand, wanted to establish a presence in Tecamac and Tuxtepec
  • approached FIBRA Macquarie to address their needs by constructing a new 6,800 sqm building in Tecamac and 6,200 sqm building in Tuxtepec
  • FIBRA Macquarie managed the design and construction of the shell buildings before delivering to Fabricas de Francia for fitout.

Outcome

  • 13,000 sqm GLA developed in two stores in Tecamac and Tuxtepec
  • Stores opened to the public on schedule on October 20, 2016 in Tecamac and November 16, 2016 in Tuxtepec
  • Additional 1,200 sqm GLA constructed adjacent to new Fabricas de Francias stores for lease to other customers
  • Fábricas de Francia provides an additional strong anchor to both centers and is drawing additional foot traffic.

Background

  • FIBRA Macquarie certificates have been trading at a significant discount to Net Asset Value (NAV)
  • current prices do not represent fair value for underlying assets and the income they generate
  • repurchasing our own certificates presents an accretive use of investment capital and can represent a competitive investment option
  • will benefit investors by improving the value of their investment on a per certificate basis in terms of NAV and Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO).

Status

  • certificate repurchase for cancellation program launched in June 2017.
  • as of September 30, 2019;45.7m certificates repurchased, representing 5.6% of certificates outstanding at the start of the program.
  • as of September 30, 2019; a maximum remaining program size of 897.1m is available, through to June 25, 2020.
  • all certificates have been or are in the process of being cancelled.
