Corporación Inmobiliaria Vesta, S. A. B. de C. V. and Subsidiaries

 

Unaudited Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, and 2023

(In US dollars)

 

1.General information

 

Corporación Inmobiliaria Vesta, S. A. B. de C. V. (“Vesta”) is an entity incorporated in Mexico. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is Paseo de los Tamarindos 90, 28th floor, Mexico City.

 

Vesta and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Entity”) are engaged in the development, acquisition and operation of industrial buildings and distribution facilities that are rented to corporations in eleven states throughout Mexico.

 

2.Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

 

New and amended IFRS Accounting Standards that are effective for the current period

 

There are no accounting pronouncements which have become effective from January 1, 2024 that have a significant impact on the Group’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

3.Material accounting policies

 

a.Basis of preparation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for investment properties and financial instruments that are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.

 

i.Historical cost

 

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

 

ii.Fair value

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Entity takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 2, Share-based Payments.

 

 6 

 

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

 

·Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

 

·Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

 

·Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 

iii.Going concern

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by Management assuming that the Entity will continue to operate as a going concern.

 

b.Interim financial condensed statements

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of September 30, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and have not been audited. In the opinion of Entity management, all adjustments (consisting mainly of ordinary, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements are included. The results of the periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Entity and their respective notes for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

The accounting policies and methods of computation are consistent with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, except as mentioned in the preceding paragraph.

 

c.Segment

 

The Entity’s primary business is the acquisition, development, and management of industrial and distribution center real estate. Vesta manages its operations on an aggregated, single segment basis for purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions and, accordingly, has only one reporting and operating segment. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all of our assets and operations are derived from assets located within Mexico.

 

d.Financial liabilities

 

All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 

Financial liabilities measured subsequently at amortized cost

 

Financial liabilities (including borrowings) that are not (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, (ii) held-for-trading, or (iii) designated as at FVTPL, are measured subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and expenses paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

 

 7 

 

Derecognition of financial liabilities

 

The Entity derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Entity’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.

 

When the Entity exchanges with the existing lender a debt instrument in another with substantially different terms, that exchange is accounted for as an extinction of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, the Entity considers the substantial modification of the terms of an existing liability or part of it as an extinction of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new liability. The terms are assumed to be substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective rate, is at least 10% different from the current discounted rate. Value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability. If the modification is not material, the difference between: (1) the carrying amount of the liability before the modification; and (2) the present value of the cash flows after the modification should be recognized in profit or loss as the gain or loss from the modification within other gains and losses.

 

The balance as of September 30, 2024 and December 2023 of short-term accounts payables was:

 

   September 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
  December 31, 2023
       
Construction in-progress (1)  $3,771,694   $6,421,225 
Land (2)   7,614,707    275,230 
Existing properties   3,412,750    5,107,983 
Others accounts payables   1,126,443    1,384,528 
           
   $15,925,594   $13,188,966 

 

(1)As of September 30, 2024 and December 2023 the Entity began the construction of nine and ten investment properties, the amount of December 2023 represents the advances according to the construction contract, which will be paid settled during the first quarter of the following year.

 

(2)During the third quarter of 2022 the Entity acquired a land reserve and signed promissory agreements for a total of $8,256,912 to be paid on quarterly installments of $91,744 starting March 2023 plus a final payment of $7,431,218 in June 2025; the long-term payable portion as of December 31,2023 is $7,706,451. As of September 30, 2024 the amount is short-term.

 

4.Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

 

In preparing these interim financial statements, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Entity’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual consolidated financial statements.

 

 8

8.Investment property

 

The Entity uses external appraisers in order to determine the fair value for all of its investment properties. The external appraisers hold recognized and relevant professional qualifications and have vast experience in the types of investment properties owned by the Entity. The external appraisers use valuation techniques such as the discounted cash flows approach, replacement cost approach and income cap rate approach. The techniques used include assumptions, the majority of which are not directly observable in the market, to estimate the fair value of the Entity’s investment property such as discount rates, exit cap rates, long-term NOI, inflation rates, absorption periods and market rents.

 

 11 

 

The values, determined by the external appraisers quarterly, are recognized as the fair value of the Entity’s investment property at the end of each reporting period. The appraisers use a discounted cash flow approach to determine the fair value of land and buildings (using the expected net operating income (“NOI”) of the investment property) and a market approach to determine the fair value of land reserves. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values are included in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive (loss) income in the period in which they arise.

 

The Entity’s investment properties are located in México and they are classified as Level 3 in the IFRS fair value hierarchy. The following table provides information about how the fair values of the investment properties are determined (in particular, the valuation technique and inputs used).

 

Property Fair value hierarchy Valuation techniques Significant unobservable inputs Value/range (Unaudited) Relationship of unobservable inputs to fair value
           
Buildings and land Level 3 Discounted cash flows Discount rate Q3 2024: 7.75% to 12.26% 2023:7.00% to 12.21% The higher the discount rate, the lower the fair value.
           
      Exit cap rate Q3 2024: 6.50% to 9.25% 2023:6.50% to 8.99% The higher the exit cap rate, the lower the fair value
           
      Long-term NOI Based on contractual rent and then on market related rents The higher the NOI, the higher the fair value.
           
      Inflation rates Mexico: Q3 2024: 3.66% to 4.0% 2023:3.6% to 4.25% U.S.: Q3 2024: 2.2% to 3.0% 2023: 2.1% to 3.0% The higher the inflation rate, the higher the fair value.
      Absorption period 12 months on average The shorter the absorption period, the higher the fair value.
      Market Related rents Depending on the park/state The higher the market rent, the higher the fair value
Land reserves Level 3 Market value Price per acre Weighted average price per acre Q3 2024: $164,873 2023 $195,196 The higher the price, the higher the fair value.
