Letter from the CEO

CONSISTENT RESULTS WITH FOCUS ON SUSTAINED LONG-TERM GROWTH

The volatile geopolitical landscape and political surprises continued in the second quarter of 2024. According to the International Monetary Fund’s World Economic Outlook, a renewed focus on intensifying supply-enhancing reforms is crucial to return to the higher pre-pandemic era average growth. The World Bank’s recent Global Economic Prospects report is slightly more optimistic, suggesting that global economic growth appears to be stabilizing.

Despite what we expect will be unnerving months surrounding Mexico’s administration transition and the U.S. elections, our confidence in the North American region, bolstered by the strength of the Mexico and the US economies, remains undeterred. And while Mexico electing Claudia Sheinbaum as our next president caused uncertainty for some sectors, her commitment to foreign investment and her plan to support the construction of “100 industrial parks to arrange and distribute national and foreign investment” is a promising development for Vesta.

From Vesta’s perspective, rather than being sidetracked by speculation, our strategic focus remains on disciplined execution and on our enduring long-term vision. We’ll prioritize continued progress on Vesta’s strategic plan: consistent leasing performance with prudent and disciplined capital allocation.

Second quarter 2024 leasing activity reached 2.8 million square feet; 1.0 million square feet in new leases, 47% of which were buildings under construction that deepen Vesta’s e-commerce and retail sector presence; 1.8 million square feet in renewals, and re-leasing spreads which reached 7.1% during the quarter. Stabilized occupancy reached a record 97.5% during the quarter. We also achieved 37.79 million square feet of GLA during the second quarter, another record portfolio metric.

We strengthened our development portfolio through new projects in Monterrey, Aguascalientes and Puebla, with more than 1.2 million square feet of new building construction starts. And 38.6% of our 4.7 million square foot construction pipeline has been leased. In 2Q2024, we delivered 0.5 million sf.

Revenues for the second quarter 2024 reached US$63.0 million, while adjusted NOI and EBITDA margins were 94.7% and 82.3%, respectively. Vesta FFO reached US$37.9 million, a 23.2% year on year increase.

We therefore delivered another quarter of sustained strength in our results. We plan to maintain our disciplined approach with both hands firmly at the helm and the wisdom and confidence built through more than 26 years as Mexico’s leading Industrial Real Estate developer.

Thank you for your continued support,

Lorenzo D. Berho

Second Quarter Financial Summary

Consolidated Statutory Accounts

The accompanying consolidated condensed interim financial statements have been prepared based on International Accounting 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 consolidated statements, including the notes thereto and are stated in US dollars unless otherwise noted.

All consolidated financial statements have been prepared using an historical cost basis, excluding investment properties and financial instruments at the end of each reporting period. Historical cost is largely based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. Second quarter 2024 results are presented in comparison to the same period of the prior year and on an adjusted basis based on the same accounting rules.

Revenues

Vesta’s second quarter 2024 total revenues increased 22.4% to US$ 63.0 million in the second quarter 2024, from US$ 51.5 million in the second quarter 2023. The US$ 8.9 million rental revenue increase was primarily due to: [i] a US$ 9.1 million, or 17.6%, increase from space rented in the second quarter of 2024 which had previously been vacant in the second quarter of 2023; [ii] a US$ 1.9 million, or 3.7%, increase related to inflationary adjustments on rented property in the second quarter of 2024; [iii] a US$ 1.4 million increase in other income which represents reimbursements for expenses paid by Vesta on behalf of clients but not considered to be rental revenue; [iv] a US$ 0.1 million, or 0.3%, increase in rental income due to the conversion of peso-denominated rental income into US dollars; and [v] a U$ 1.1 million increase in energy income from charges to tenants for their energy use.

5

 

Vesta’s second quarter 2024 rental revenue results were partially offset by: [i] a US$ 1.9 million, or 3.8%, decrease related to lease agreements which expired and were not renewed during the second quarter 2024; and [ii] US$ 0.2 million, or 0.3% decrease related to lease agreements which were renewed during the second quarter 2024 at a lower rental rate in order to extend a short term renewal option to a longer term lease agreement.

88.0% of Vesta’s second quarter 2024 rental revenues were US dollar denominated and indexed to the US Consumer Price Index (CPI), an increase from 86.0% in the second quarter 2023. 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 second quarter 2024 total operating costs reached US$ 6.2 million, compared to US$ 3.9 million in the second quarter 2023; a US$ 2.3 million, or 59.3%, increase due to increased costs related to both rental income generating and non-rental income generating properties.

During the second quarter 2024, costs related to investment properties generating rental revenues amounted to US$ 5.0 million, compared to US$ 2.9 million for the same period in 2023. This was primarily attributable to an increase in energy-related costs, which increased to US$ 1.8 million in second quarter 2024, from US$ 0.6 million in second quarter 2023, while other property-related costs increased to US$ 3.2 million in the second quarter 2024, from US$ 2.3 million in second quarter 2023 due to an increase in insurance, property tax and other property-related costs.

Costs from investment properties which did not generate rental revenues during the second quarter 2024 increased by US$ 0.2 million to US$ 1.2 million. This was primarily due to an increase in insurance, as well as maintenance, energy costs and other property expenses.

Adjusted Net Operating Income (Adjusted NOI) ⁴

Second quarter Adjusted Net Operating Income increased 19.6% to US$ 57.8 million year on year with a 77-basis-point NOI margin decrease, to 94.7%. This decrease was due to higher rental income excluding energy income, while costs excluding energy increased during the quarter, resulting in a lower margin.

General and Administrative Expenses

⁴ NOI and NOI Margin calculations have been modified, please refer to Notes and Disclaimers

6

 

Second quarter 2024 administrative expenses totaled US$ 9.0 million, compared to US$ 6.4 million in the second quarter of 2023; a 40.5% increase. The increase is due to peso appreciation relative to the same period last year and the increase in auditing, legal and consulting expenses subsequent to the Company’s capital raise and follow-on.

Expenses related to the share-based payment of Vesta’s compensation plan amounted to US$ 2.7 million for the second quarter of 2024. For more detailed information on Vesta’s expenses, please see Note 18 within the Company’s Financial Statements.

Depreciation

Second quarter 2024 depreciation was US$ 0.1 million, compared to US$ 0.4 million in the second quarter of 2023. This was related to office space and office equipment depreciation during the quarter and the amortization of Vesta´s operating systems.

Adjusted EBITDA ⁵

Second quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA increased 17.9% to US$ 50.2 million, from US$ 42.6 million in the second quarter 2023, while the EBITDA margin decreased 188-basis-points to 82.3%, as compared to 84.2% for the same period of last year. This margin decrease was due to higher costs and expenses during the second quarter 2024.

Other Income and Expense

Total second quarter 2024 other income reached US$ 84.2 million, compared to US$ 66.9 million in other income at the end of the second quarter 2023, an increase primarily due to increased interest income and higher gain on revaluation of investment properties.

⁵ EBITDA and EBITDA Margin calculations have been modified, please refer to Notes and Disclaimers

7

 

Second quarter 2024 interest income increased to US$ 4.1 million year on year, from US$ 0.5 million in the second quarter 2023, due to an increased cash position resulting from the Company's equity raise and follow-on as well as higher interest rates during the quarter.

Second quarter 2024 other expense resulted in a US$ 1.4 million loss due to the net result of the Company’s other accounting expenses.

Second quarter 2024 other net gain related to energy resulted in a US$ 0.3 million gain, this other net gain includes energy provided to companies which are not Vesta clients.

Second quarter 2024 interest expense decreased to US$ 12.3 million, from US$ 11.8 million for the same quarter in 2023, reflecting certain one-time expenses for the second quarter of 2024.

Vesta’s second quarter 2024 foreign exchange loss was US$ 6.5 million, compared to a US$ 3.7 million gain in second quarter 2023. This loss relates primarily to sequential currency movement in Vesta’s dollar-denominated debt balance during second quarter 2024 within WTN, the Company’s only subsidiary that uses the Mexican peso as its functional currency.

Second quarter 2024 valuation of investment properties resulted in a US$ 100.1 million gain, compared to a US$ 73.6 million gain in the second quarter of 2023. This year-on-year increase was due to an increase in the portfolio, recovered tenant improvement expenses and by increased market rents.

Profit Before Income Taxes

Due to the above factors, second quarter 2024 profit before income tax reached US$ 131.8 million, compared to US$ 107.7 million for the same quarter last year.

Income Tax Expense

Vesta reported a US$ 22.5 million income tax expense, compared to a US$ 12.0 million income in the second quarter 2023. The second quarter 2024 current tax expense was US$ 17.9 million, compared to a US$ 21.5 million expense in second quarter 2023. This decrease is due to higher current taxes and increased exchange rate related tax during the second quarter 2024.

8

 

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 second quarter 2024 and 2023; [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.

Second Quarter 2024 Profit

Due to the above, the Company’s second quarter 2024 profit was US$ 109.3 million, compared to US$ 95.7 million profit in the second quarter 2023.

Total Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the Period

Vesta closed the second quarter 2024 with US$ 109.6 million in total comprehensive income gain, compared to a US$ 98.6 million gain at the end of the second quarter of 2023, due to the above factors. This comprehensive income was partially offset by a US$ 0.3 million comprehensive loss in exchange differences on translating other functional currency operations.

Funds from Operations (FFO)

Second quarter 2024 Vesta Funds from Operations (Vesta FFO) after tax expense resulted in a US$ 20.1 million, or US$ 0.0227 per share, gain compared with a US$ 9.3 million, or US$ 0.0134 per share, gain for second quarter 2023.

9

 

Vesta FFO for the second quarter 2024 reached US$ 37.9 million; a 23.2% increase compared with US$ 30.8 million in second quarter 2023.

The current tax associated with the Company’s operations resulted in a US$ 17.9 million expense. The exchange-rate related portion of the current tax in the second quarter 2024 was US$ 0.0 million expense and the current operating tax represented a US$ 24.8 million expense.

Capex

Investing activities during the second quarter of 2024 were primarily related to payments for works in progress in the construction of new buildings in the Northern, Bajio and Central regions, reflected in a US$ 79.6 million total expense.

Debt

As of June 30, 2024, the Company´s overall balance of debt was US$ 913.62 million, of which US$ 69.7 million is related to short-term liabilities and US$ 843.9 million is related to long-term liabilities. The secured portion of the debt is approximately 29.7% of total debt and is guaranteed by some of the Company’s investment properties, as well as by the related income derived from these properties. As of second quarter 2024, 100% of Vesta’s debt was denominated in US dollars and 100% of its interest rate was fixed.

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 publicly traded industrial real estate peers.

The "operating portfolio" calculation includes properties which have reached 80% occupancy or have been completed for more than one year, whichever occurs first.

10

 

Same-Store Portfolio

Based on the updated calculation, this metric will only include properties within the Company’s portfolio which have been stabilized for the entirety of current and comparable periods. This amended definition is intended to reflect market best practices and aid in the comparison of Vesta’s performance with the performance of its publicly traded industrial real estate peers. Vesta has provided below a reconciliation of the updated definition versus the prior definition.

11

 

Total Portfolio

As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s portfolio was comprised of 216 high-quality industrial assets, with a total gross leased area (“GLA”) of 37.7 million sf (3.5 million square meters “m^2”) and with 88.0% of the Company’s income denominated in US dollars. The majority of Vesta’s properties are located in markets representing the most significant economic growth in the country, such as the Northern, Central and Bajio regions. Vesta’s tenants are predominantly multinational companies, and the Company has balanced industry exposure to sectors such as e-commerce/online retail, food and beverage, automotive, aerospace and logistics, among others.

Total Vacancy

Vesta’s property portfolio had a 5.0% vacancy rate as of June 30, 2024.

Projects Under Construction

Vesta is currently developing 4,675,122 sf (434,333 m²) in inventory and BTS buildings.

12

 

Land Reserves

The Company had 25.2 million sf in land reserves as of June 30, 2024.

Summary of 6-Month 2024 Results

Revenues increased 21.9% to US$ 123.6 million for the accumulated six months of 2024, compared to US$ 101.4 million in 2023, while operating costs increased to US$ 10.7 million, or 57.4% compared to US$ 6.8 million in 2023, primarily due to the increase in both properties that generate income and did not generate rental income expenses. Adjusted Net operating income for the six months 2024 was US$ 115.1 million compared to US$ 96.1 million in the same period of 2023.

At the close of June 30, 2024, administrative expenses increased by 21.5% to US$ 17.3 million in 2024, from US$ 14.2 million in 2023, primarily due to an increase in expenses related to employee benefits, auditing, legal and consulting expenses and to Vesta´s stock-based compensation.

14

 

Total other income for the six months of 2024 was US$ 187.3 million, compared to US$ 71.1 million in the prior year. The result reflects an increase in exchange gain and a gain on the revaluation of investment properties.

The Company’s profit before tax therefore amounted to US$ 282.4 million for the first six months of 2024.

Income tax for the first six months ending June 30, 2024 resulted in a US$ 48.3 million expense, compared to US$ 0.2 million gain for the first six months ended June 30, 2023. This year-on-year decrease was primarily due to the appreciation of the exchange rate during the first six months of 2024.

Profit for the first six months of 2024 was US$ 234.2 million, compared to US$ 151.0 million in the same period of 2023, due to factors described above.

Vesta ended the six-month period ending June 30, 2024 with US$ 233.6 million in total comprehensive income, compared to US$ 157.7 million at the end of the first six -months of 2023 period, due to the factors previously described. This gain was partially decreased by a US$ 0.5 million loss in functional currency operations.

Capex for the first six-months of 2024 reached US$ 127.3 million and was related to the investment property development.

15

 

Subsequent Events

Dividends:

Vesta shareholders approved a US$ 64.7 million-dollar dividend at its Annual General Shareholders Meeting held on March 21, 2024, to be paid in quarterly installments at the closing exchange rate of the day prior to payment. The quarterly dividend per share will be determined based on the outstanding number of shares on the distribution date.

Vesta paid a cash dividend for the second quarter 2024 equivalent to PS$ 0.3233 per ordinary share on July 16, 2024. The dividend was paid through the S.D. Indeval S.A. de C.V. Institución para el Depósito de Valores (INDEVAL). This amount was provisioned within the Company’s financial statements at the end of the second quarter 2024 as dividends payable.

Definitions / Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Change in Adjusted EBITDA, NOI, Adjusted NOI and Vesta FFO calculation methodology

During the year ended December 31, 2023, our business began to experience different effects associated with our tenants growing their operations in Mexico that among other impacts resulted in increased energy consumption which we recognize as an energy income and energy cost during the period. Our management considered these income and costs represent a business activity not actively managed by us and does not relate directly to our business operation and strategy; therefore, we updated our policy to further adjust our Adjusted EBITDA, NOI, Adjusted NOI and Vesta FFO to exclude energy income and energy costs.

We have applied the change in calculation methodology retroactively. This change had an impact on Adjusted EBITDA, NOI, Adjusted NOI and Vesta FFO of $0.3 million, ($0.4) million and $0.0 million as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, NOI and Adjusted NOI

The table below sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, NOI and Adjusted NOI to profit for the year, 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 year adjusted by (a) total income tax expense (b) interest income, (c) other income, (d) other expense (e) finance costs, (f) exchange gain (loss) – net, (g) gain on sale of investment property, (h) gain on revaluation of investment property, (i) depreciation, (j) stock-based compensation expense (k) energy income and (l) energy costs during the relevant period. We calculate NOI as the sum of Adjusted EBITDA plus general and administrative expenses, reversing the discrete depreciation expense impact in Adjusted EBITDA minus and stock-based compensation expense 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.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure recognized under IFRS and does not purport to be an alternative to profit or total comprehensive income for the period as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from

23

 

operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments and tax payments. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA 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 to supplement investor understanding of our operating performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors and analysts with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in tenant’s operation, capital structures, capital investment cycles and fair value adjustments of related assets among otherwise comparable companies.

NOI or Adjusted NOI 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 and Adjusted NOI 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 or Adjusted NOI. 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 and Adjusted NOI may not be comparable to net operating income or similar measures reported by other real estate companies that define NOI or Adjusted NOI differently.

Adjusted EBITDA margin, NOI margin and Adjusted NOI margin

The table below also includes a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA margin, NOI margin and Adjusted NOI margin to profit for the year, the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, for each of the periods indicated, as reported in the Company’s financial statements. We present margin ratios to rental income plus management fees minus electricity income to compliment the understanding of our operating performance; measuring our profitability compared to the revenues directly related to our business activities.

24

 

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.

25

 

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.

26
