(4)Company FFO per unit is calculated based on 704.0 million (2016 – 710.9 million) and 705.1 million (2016 – 711.1 million) units outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. See reconciliation of basic net income in the "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures" section in this press release.    

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 was $659 million ($0.22 per LP unit) versus $1,616 million ($1.61 per LP unit) for the same period in 2016. The decrease in net income for the quarter is primarily attributable to the recognition in the prior year period of approximately $900 million in deferred tax income as a result of a restructuring the Partnership undertook to consolidate the ownership of its core retail and core office assets in the U.S. into an existing REIT subsidiary.

                                     

Company FFO was $236 million ($0.34 per unit) for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared with $232 million ($0.33 per unit) for the same period in 2016.

Operating Highlights

Our core office operations generated Company FFO of $126 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to $149 million in the same period in 2016.  Although same-property NOI was up 4% to $326 million, the primary factor in the decline in Company FFO versus the prior period was the disposition of stable, core assets in alignment with the company's ongoing capital recycling strategy.

Occupancy in our core office portfolio finished the quarter at 91.8% on 2.9 million square feet of total leasing.  New leases were signed at average rents approximately 46% higher than expiring leases in the quarter.

Our core retail operations generated Company FFO of $128 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to $108 million in the comparable period in 2016. The primary factor in the increase in Company FFO over the prior period was income recognized on condominium sales at Ala Moana in Honolulu, HI and 2% same-property growth.

Core same-property retail occupancy finished the third quarter at 95.4%, with average suite-to-suite rent spreads of 20% for leases commencing in the trailing 12 months. Tenant sales (excluding anchors) were up modestly on a trailing 12-month basis to $21.1 billion.

Our opportunistic segment generated Company FFO of $99 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to $90 million in the third quarter of the prior year.  The increase in Company FFO over the prior year was largely the result of incremental capital invested in this segment.

Strategic Initiatives

"We continue to raise equity capital through the disposition of mature, stabilized assets held both on our balance sheet as well as through our interests in Brookfield-managed private funds," said Brian Kingston, chief executive officer. "As highlighted during our recent Investor Day presentation, we are very excited about the many opportunities we are seeing in the marketplace to deploy this capital and continue to grow our business."  

Dispositions

During and subsequent to the third quarter, we continued to advance our capital recycling initiatives via the sales of (or firm agreements to sell):  

  • Our European logistics business for €2.4 billion (€826 million at BPY's share), generating net proceeds to BPY of $615 million.
  • 20 Fenchurch Street in London for £1.3 billion (£96 million at BPY's share), generating net proceeds to BPY of $67 million.  
  • Eleven multifamily properties in the U.S. for $466 million ($113 million at BPY's share), generating net proceeds to BPY of $47 million. 
  • A mixed-use property in Toronto for C$123 million (C$65 million at BPY's share), generating net proceeds to BPY of $42 million.

New Investments

The proceeds raised from asset sales were used to invest in our active development pipeline and to fund new acquisitions, either closed or currently under contract, including:

  • Interests in two fully entitled multifamily developments in the New York Tri-State area for $412 million ($92 million at BPY's share).
  • The Sheraton Toronto hotel and convention center for C$335 million (C$86 million at BPY's share).
  • The class AAA, 500,000-square-foot EZ Tower B office building in Sao Paulo for $210 million ($67 million at BPY's share).
  • A 500-unit multifamily property in greater Atlanta, GA for $59 million ($39 million at BPY's share).
  • Interests in eight Sears parcels (six acquisitions; two lease terminations) in the U.S. for $66 million ($30 million at BPY's share).
  • Seven triple net lease properties in the U.S. for $71 million ($20 million at BPY's share).

In addition, subsequent to quarter-end, we exercised all of the outstanding GGP warrants that were set to expire on November 9, 2017, resulting in the acquisition of 68 million GGP shares for approximately $462 million.  As a result, our common equity ownership of GGP increased from 29% to 34%.

Balance Sheet Update

We also executed on the following transactions to increase our balance sheet flexibility by increasing liquidity and extending the maturity of our debt:

  • Refinanced One Liberty Plaza in New York with an $850 million interest-only term loan at a fixed rate of 3.72%, resulting in net proceeds of $66 million and lowering the cost of debt on this asset by 240 basis points.
  • Obtained $325 million of new, 10-year fixed rate debt at 3.98% within our core retail business.
  • Placed construction loans on five U.S. industrial assets for a total of $74 million.

Unit Repurchase Program

Utilizing the in-place Normal Course Issuer Bid, the Partnership purchased 1,002,900 of its Limited Partnership units in the third quarter of 2017 at an average price of $23.64 per unit.  

Distribution Declaration

The Board of Directors has declared the quarterly distribution of $0.295 per unit payable on December 29, 2017 to unitholders of record at the close of business on November 30, 2017.

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.

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 November 2, 2017 at http://bpy.brookfield.com.  This additional information should be read in conjunction with this press release. 

The Board has reviewed and approved this press release, including the summarized unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein.

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 subsequent to September 30, 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.
