Exhibit 99.1
Mexico City, July 20, 2023 – Corporación Inmobiliaria Vesta S.A.B. de C.V., (“Vesta”, or the “Company”) (BMV: VESTA) (NYSE: VTMX), a leading industrial real estate company in Mexico, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023. All figures included herein were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting 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 statements, including the notes thereto and are stated in US dollars unless otherwise noted.
Q2 2023 Highlights
· | Vesta announced the closing of its Initial Public Offering (IPO) in the United States on July 5, 2023, of 14,375,000 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), representing 143,750,000 common shares at US$ 31.00 per ADS. The gross proceeds were approximately US$ 445.6 million, which the Company will use to fund its growth strategy. |
· | Vesta has updated its full year 2023 guidance: revenue guidance has been upwardly revised to a range of between 17-18% from the Company’s prior guidance of 13-14%, Adjusted NOI margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin guidance remains at 93.0% and 82.0%, respectively. This reflects Vesta´s significant progress on its Level 3 strategy in a continued strong demand environment.1 |
· | Second quarter 2023 leasing activity reached 1.6 million sf; 891,687 sf in new contracts with best-in-class companies such as Eaton, Sumitomo, and Iron Mountain, among others, and 769,054 sf in lease renewals. Vesta’s second quarter 2023 stabilized occupancy therefore increased to 96.9% from 95.9% in second quarter 2022, while total portfolio occupancy closed at 94.7% and same store occupancy at 96.7%. |
· | Vesta delivered 831,309 sf during the second quarter 2023, with a weighted average occupancy of 60%. During the quarter the Company began construction on one 214,760 sf BTS building in Queretaro for Eaton Corporation. Vesta´s total development pipeline reached 3.2 million sf as of the second quarter 2023, with a US$ 205.6 million expected investment and a 10.0% average cap rate. |
· | Vesta delivered US$ 51.9 million in revenue for the second quarter 2023; a 20.5% year on year increase from US$ 43.1 million in the second quarter 2022, primarily due to US$ 6.6 million in new revenue-generating contracts and a US$ 2.2 million inflationary benefit on second quarter 2023 results. Second quarter 2023 Adjusted NOI and EBITDA margins reached 93.5% and 82.5%, respectively. |
1 These amounts are estimates and are based on current management expectations. Amounts are subject to change and Vesta undertakes no responsibility to update this outlook. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of expected NOI margin and expected Adjusted EBITDA margin which are forward-looking non-IFRS measures, because the Company cannot reliably predict certain of their necessary components, such as gain on revaluation of investment property, exchange gain (loss) – net, or gain on sale of investment property, among others.

· | Second quarter 2023 Adjusted Net Operating Income (Adjusted NOI) increased 19.4% to US$ 48.5 million, compared to US$ 40.7 million in second quarter 2022. The second quarter 2023 Adjusted NOI margin was 93.5%; an 86-basis-point year on year decrease due to higher costs at rent-generating properties. |
· | Second quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA increased 17.5% to US$ 42.8 million, as compared to US$ 36.4 million in the second quarter 2022. The Adjusted EBITDA margin was 82.5%; a 207-basis-point decrease is primarily due to the peso appreciation versus last year, which in turn impacted Vesta´s employee’s benefits, auditing, legal and consulting expenses, and an increase in employee long-term incentive plan during second quarter 2023. |
· | Second quarter Vesta funds from operations (Vesta FFO) increased by 26.7% to US$ 31.0 million, from US$ 24.5 million in 2022. Vesta FFO per share was US$ 0.0447 for the second quarter 2023, compared with US$ 0.0356 for the same period in 2022; a 25.4% increase. Second quarter 2023 FFO attributable to common share was US$ 9.6 million, compared to US$ 12.2 million in the second quarter 2022, due to increased income tax expenses in the second quarter 2023 resulting from a higher exchange rate related current tax in second quarter 2023. |
· | Second quarter 2023 total comprehensive gain was US$ 95.6 million, versus US$ 50.4 million in the second quarter 2022. This increase was primarily due to increased second quarter 2023 revenues and a higher gain on the revaluation of investment properties. |
· | The total value of Vesta’s investment property portfolio was US$ 2.92 billion as of June 30, 2023; a 6.7% increase compared to US$ 2.74 billion at the end of December 31, 2022. |

Letter from the CEO
VESTA’S NYSE LISTING: ACCELERATING GROWTH
Vesta made its successful NYSE debut on July 5, 2023, a significant milestone for our company. Vesta’s outstanding team raised the most funds by a Mexican company in nearly 11 years, bringing the total to $446 million with the over-allotment, and our shares began trading on the NYSE at market open on June 30 under the VTMX ticker. We plan to use the offering proceeds to fund Vesta’s growth pipeline.
During the second quarter we continued to see strong market trends’ favorable impact on our results, as Mexico benefits from the near shoring trend led by strengthening manufacturing ecosystems; industrial real estate is at full occupancy, particularly northern Mexico, with our global clients’ continued demand for Vesta’s premium industrial parks and facilities and new clients coming on stream during the second quarter. Importantly, we’re also seeing this resonate within the Bajio market, particularly from light manufacturing, automotive and logistics. CBRE noted 2.6 million square feet in net absorption in the first six months ended June 31, 2023; a 50% year on year increase, and gross absorption that reached 2.8 million square feet. Additionally, we saw a significant increase in foreign direct investment, which Bloomberg noted increased by 48% year on year in the first quarter.
Vesta leased 1.6 million square feet in the second quarter 2023: 891,687 square feet in new contracts with best-in-class tenants such as Eaton Corporation, Iron Mountain, and Sumitomo and 769,054 square feet in lease renewals. This drove our stabilized portfolio occupancy to 97%, one of Vesta’s historical highs for this metric.
During the quarter Vesta delivered a total of 831,309 square feet, approximately 60% of which was pre-leased. We continue to see strong demand for best-in-class buildings, which drove demand to lease buildings prior to delivery. Vesta’s net absorption in the Bajio region is also reflecting the trends I’ve described, and we began construction in Queretaro on one new BTS building for the Eaton Corporation during the second quarter 2023. Vesta’s development pipeline stands at 3.2 million square feet by quarter’s end, representing an expected US$ 205.6 million investment.
Vesta also delivered strong financial results for the second quarter 2023, with US$ 51.9 million in revenues for the quarter; a 20.5% year on year increase, while Adjusted NOI and EBITDA margins reached 93.5% and 82.5%, respectively.
The considerable success of our NYSE listing marks an important milestone in Vesta’s continued journey, also as further testament to our Company’s immense potential, while enabling Vesta’s access to a broader investor base. As we celebrated Vesta’s listing on the NYSE, we were also humbled by the incredible opportunities that lie ahead for our company, our industry, and the broader Mexican economy. Our listing on the NYSE therefore not only broadens our access to capital but also serves as a powerful statement to the investment community, underscoring Mexico's potential as an attractive and lucrative market in which to invest. We are proud to showcase the exciting growth opportunities within our country and are committed to fostering an environment that nurtures innovation, drives sustainable practices, and fosters economic prosperity.
We are exceedingly grateful to our Vesta team, and I extend my sincerest gratitude to our dedicated employees and to our valued stakeholders, who have been an important part of our success on this journey. We look forward to this exciting chapter and will continue to leverage Vesta’s privileged position, time-earned experience and demonstrated track record with unwavering determination, bold vision, and our excitement about this moment for our country.
Thank you for your continued support.

Vesta’s second quarter 2023 rental revenues increased 20.5% to US$ 51.92 million, from US$ 43.10 million in the second quarter 2022. The US$ 8.83 million rental revenue increase was primarily due to: [i] a US$ 6.61 million, or 15.3%, increase from space rented in the second quarter of 2023 which had previously been vacant in the second quarter of 2022; [ii] a US$ 2.25 million, or 5.2%, increase related to inflationary adjustments on rented property in the second quarter of 2023; [iii] a US$ 0.71 million, or 1.7%, increase in rental income due to the conversion of peso-denominated rental income into US dollars; and [iv] a US$ 1.47 million, or 3.4%, increase in reimbursements for expenses paid by Vesta on behalf of clients but not considered to be rental revenue.
These results were partially offset by: [i] a US$ 2.17 million, or 5.0%, decrease related to lease agreements which expired and were not renewed during the second quarter 2023; and [ii] a US$ 0.06 million, or 0.1%, decrease related to lease agreements which were renewed during the second quarter 2023 at a lower rental rate in order to retain certain client relationships.
5
86.0% of Vesta’s second quarter 2023 rental revenues were US dollar denominated and indexed to the US Consumer Price Index (CPI), a decrease from 86.7% in the second quarter 2022. 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 2023 total operating costs reached US$ 4.37 million, compared to US$ 2.61 million in the second quarter 2022; a US$ 0.95 million, or 38.7%, increase due to increased costs related to both rental income generating and non-rental income generating properties.
During the second quarter 2023, costs related to investment properties generating rental revenues amounted to US$ 3.39 million, compared to US$ 2.44 million for the same period in 2022. This was primarily attributable to an increase in other property related expenses including legal expenses as well as security and public services related expenses at Vesta’s parks.
Costs from investment properties which did not generate rental revenues during the second quarter 2023 increased to US$ 0.98 million, from US$ 0.17 million for the same period of 2022. This was primarily due to an increase in real estate taxes, as well as maintenance and other property related expenses such as security and public services related expenses at Vesta’s parks.
Adjusted Net Operating Income (Adjusted NOI)
Second quarter Adjusted Net Operating Income increased 19.4% to US$ 48.53 million year on year with an 86-basis-point NOI margin decrease, to 93.5%, resulting from increased costs associated with rental income generating properties.

Adjusted EBITDA | 42.82 | 36.43 | 17.5 | 84.88 | 71.84 | 18.1 |
Second quarter 2023 administrative expenses totaled US$ 6.44 million, compared to US$ 5.74 million in the second quarter of 2022; a 12.2% increase. The increase is primarily due to the peso appreciation versus last
6
year, which in turn impacted Vesta´s employee’s benefits, auditing, legal and consulting expenses, and an increase in employee long-term incentive plan during the second quarter of 2023.
The share-based payment of Vesta’s compensation plan expense amounted to US$ 1.70 million for the second quarter of 2023. For more detailed information on Vesta’s expenses, please see Note 17 within the Company’s Financial Statements.
Depreciation
Depreciation during the second quarter of 2023 was US$ 0.38 million, compared to US$ 0.33 million in the second quarter of 2022, related to office space and office equipment depreciation during the quarter and the amortization of Vesta´s operating systems.
Adjusted EBITDA
Second quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA increased 17.5% to US$ 42.82 million, from US$ 36.43 million in the second quarter 2022, while the EBITDA margin decreased 207-basis-points to 82.5%, as compared to 84.5% for the same period of last year. This decrease was due to increased second quarter 2023 costs and expenses.

Total second quarter 2023 other income reached US$ 66.94 million, compared to US$ 32.87 million in other income at the end of the second quarter 2022, an increase primarily due to higher exchange gain and higher gain on revaluation of investment properties.
Second quarter 2023 interest income increased to US$ 0.54 million year on year, from US$ 0.13 million in second quarter 2022, due to higher interest rates.
Second quarter 2023 other income resulted in a US$ 0.81 million gain due to the net result of the Company’s other accounting expenses.
7
Second quarter 2023 interest expense decreased to US$ 11.77 million, from US$ 11.93 million for the same quarter last year, which reflected certain one-time expenses for the second quarter of 2022.
Vesta’s second quarter 2023 foreign exchange gain was US$ 3.74 million, compared to a US$ 1.25 million gain in second quarter 2022. The gain relates primarily to sequential currency movement in Vesta’s dollar-denominated debt balance during second quarter 2023 within WTN, the Company’s only subsidiary that uses the Mexican peso as its functional currency.
Second quarter 2023 valuation of investment properties resulted in a US$ 73.63 million gain, compared to a US$ 38.60 million gain in the second quarter of 2022. This year-on-year increase is primarily due to a higher portfolio in place rate.

Due to the above factors, second quarter 2023 profit before income tax amounted to US$ 107.69 million, compared to US$ 67.29 million in the same quarter last year.
Income Tax Expense
Vesta reported an income tax expense of US$ 11.98 million, compared to a US$ 13.69 million expense in the second quarter 2022. The second quarter 2023 current tax expense was US$ 21.48 million, compared to a US$ 12.35 million expense in second quarter 2022, an increase due to a higher exchange rate related current tax during second quarter 2023.
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 2023 and 2022; [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 2023 Gain

Due to the factors described above, the Company’s second quarter 2023 profit was US$ 95.71 million, compared to US$ 53.60 million profit in the second quarter 2022.
Total Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the Period
Vesta closed the second quarter 2023 with US$ 98.59 million in total comprehensive income gain, compared to US$ 50.41 million gain at the end of the second quarter of 2022, due to the above factors. This gain was partially increased by a US$ 2.88 million gain in functional currency operations.

Definitions / Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, NOI, Adjusted NOI and Adjusted NOI margin
The table below sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, NOI and Adjusted NOI 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. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as the sum of profit for the period adjusted by (a) total income tax expense (b) interest income, (c) other income-net, (d) finance costs, (e) exchange gain (loss) - net, (f) gain on sale of investment property, (g) gain on revaluation of investment property, (h) depreciation and (i) long-term incentive plan and equity plus during the relevant period. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues. We calculate NOI as the sum of Adjusted EBITDA plus general and administrative expenses, minus long-term incentive plan and equity plus 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. We calculate Adjusted NOI margin as Adjusted NOI divided by total revenues.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not a financial measures recognized under IFRS and do not purport to be an alternative to profit or total comprehensive income for the period as measures of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities a measures of liquidity. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not intended to be measures of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use, as they does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments and tax payments. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to
23
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 and Adjusted EBITDA margin to supplement investor understanding of our operating performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide investors and analysts with measures of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and fair value adjustments of related assets among otherwise comparable companies.
NOI, Adjusted NOI and Adjusted NOI margin 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, Adjusted NOI and Adjusted NOI margin 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, Adjusted NOI or Adjusted NOI margin. 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, Adjusted NOI and Adjusted NOI margin may not be comparable to net operating income or similar measures reported by other real estate companies that define NOI, Adjusted NOI or Adjusted NOI margin differently.

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.
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.

Corporación Inmobiliaria Vesta, S. A. B. de C. V. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the six months periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
(In US dollars)
1. | General information |
Corporación Inmobiliaria Vesta, S. A. B. de C. V. (“Vesta”) is a corporation 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.
1.1 Significant event
· | On June 29, 2023, Vesta entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., BofA Securities, Inc. and Barclays Capital Inc., as representative of the underwriters, relating to Vesta’s initial public offering (the “Offering”) of 125,000,000 Common Shares in the form of American Depositary Shares (the “ADS”) each ADS representing 10 Common Shares of Vesta’s common stock (“common stock”), which included the exercise by the underwriters in full of the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 18,750,000 shares of Vesta’s common stock, at an Offering price of $31.00 US dollars per ADS. |
The Shares were offered and sold pursuant to Vesta’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-272532), as amended (the “Registration Statement”), and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the final prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the Commission on June 29, 2023. The closing of the Offering for the ADR´s took place on July 5, 2023, raising gross proceeds of $445,000,000, which included 18,750,000 shares sold by Vesta upon the exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option in full. Issuance expenses were approximately $21,340,300. Vesta intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund growth strategy including the acquisition of land or properties and related infrastructure investments, and for the development of industrial buildings.
· | On September 1, 2022 Vesta announced a new $200,000,000 sustainability linked revolving credit facility with various financial institutions. As a part of such revolving credit, Vesta paid debt issuance costs in an amount of $1,092,316. As of June 30, 2023 no amount has been disposed yet. |
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, 2023 that have a significant impact on the Group’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. | Significant 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 |
6
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 International Financial Reporting Standard (“IFRS”) 2, Share-based Payments.
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 June 30, 2023 and 2022 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, 2022.
The accounting policies and methods of computation are consistent with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all of our assets and operations are derived from assets located within Mexico.
7
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.
5. | Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash |
For purposes of the condensed consolidated interim statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks, including restricted cash. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the reporting period as shown in the condensed consolidated interim statement of cash flows can be reconciled to the related items in the condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position as follows:
June 30, 2023 (Unaudited) | December 31, 2022 | |||||||
Cash and bank balances | $ | 50,402,928 | $ | 139,056,863 | ||||
Restricted cash | 321,923 | 90,222 | ||||||

Non-current restricted cash | 735,312 | 735,312 | ||||||
Total | $ | 51,460,163 | $ | 139,882,397 |
Restricted cash represents balances held by the Entity that are only available for use under certain conditions pursuant to the loan agreements entered into by the Entity. Such conditions include payment of monthly debt service fee and compliance with certain covenants set forth in the loan agreement. These restrictions are classified according to their restriction period: less than 12 months and over one year, considering the period of time in which such restrictions are fulfilled. Non-current restricted cash was classified within guaranteed deposits made, restricted cash and others in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position.
Non-cash transactions
Changes in liabilities arising from financing activities not requiring cash relate to a decrease for the amortization of debt issuance costs for $379,572 and $334,229 in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

As shown in the table above, 78% and 88% of all operating lease receivables are current as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
All rental payments past due are monitored by the Entity; for receivables outstanding from 30 to 90 days, efforts are made to collect payment from the respective client. Operating lease receivables outstanding for more than 30 days but less than 60 days represent 14% and 3% of all operating lease receivables as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Operating lease receivables outstanding for more than 60 and less than 90 days represent 7% and 8% of all operating lease receivable as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The same client accounted for 5.5% and 5.7% (Unaudited) of the total rental income of Entity for the three months period ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. No other client accounted for more than 10% of the total rental income of the Entity for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
iv. | Leasing agreements |
Operating leases relate to non-cancellable lease agreements over the investment properties owned by the Entity, which generally have terms ranging between 5 to 15 years, with options to extend the term up to a total term of 20 years. Rents are customarily payable on a monthly basis and are adjusted annually according to applicable inflation indices (US and Mexican inflation indices). Security deposits are typically equal to one or two months’ rent. Obtaining property insurance (third party liability) and operating maintenance are obligations of the tenants.
9
All lease agreements include a rescission clause that entitles the Entity to collect all unpaid rents during the remaining term of the lease agreement in the event that the client defaults in its rental payments, vacates the properties, terminates the lease agreement or enters into bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. All lease agreements are classified as operating leases and do not include purchase options.
v. | Non-cancellable operating lease receivables |
Future minimum lease payments receivable under non-cancellable operating lease agreements are as follows:
June 30, 2023 (Unaudited) | December 31, 2022 | |||||||
Not later than 1 year | $ | 193,022,615 | $ | 155,267,112 | ||||
Later than 1 year and not later than 3 years | 317,283,665 | 250,043,235 | ||||||

$ | 977,515,917 | $ | 769,813,113 |
vi. | Prepaid expenses and advance payments |
June 30, 2023 (Unaudited) | December 31, 2022 | |||||||
Advance payments (1) | $ | 19,930,004 | $ | 17,201,933 | ||||

Prepaid expenses | 1,538,214 | 76,467 | ||||||
$ | 31,347,918 | $ | 25,308,351 |
(1) | During the second quarter of 2022 the Entity entered into an agreement for the procurement, permissioning and other condition of several plots of land; if the conditions are met within a period of 18 months, or an additional 18-month extension, the advance deposit will be considered part of the final transactions price, otherwise approximately $1 million will be forfeited to the counterparty and expensed; the remainder amount will be reimbursed to the Entity. |
(2) | As state in Note 8 the Entity sold land reserves located in Queretaro, the outstanding balance as of December 31, 2022 was received in the first quarter of 2023. |
8. | Investment property |
The Entity uses external appraisers in order to determine the fair value for all of its investment properties. The independent appraisers, who hold recognized and relevant professional qualifications and have vast experience in the types of investment properties, owned by the Entity, 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, long-term NOI, inflation rates, absorption periods and market rents.
10
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 | Relationship of unobservable inputs to fair value |
Buildings and land | Level 3 | Discounted cash flows | Discount rate | Q2 2023: 7.00% to 12.25% 2022: 7.50% to 12.24% |
The higher the discount rate, the lower the fair value. |
Exit cap rate | Q2 2023: 6.50% to 8.99% 2022: 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:
Q2 2023: 3.65% to 4.0% 2022: 3.4% to 5.0% U.S.: Q2 2023: 2.1% to 3.5% 2022: 2.1% to 3.5% |
The higher the inflation rate, the higher the fair value.
