Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

(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.

 

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 closing of the Offering for the ADS’s took place on July 5, 2023, raising gross proceeds of approximately $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 September 30, 2023 no amount has been drawn from this revolving credit facility.

 

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

 

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

 

6 

 

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 September 30, 2023 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 September 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:

 

   September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
  December 31, 2022
       
Cash and bank balances  $407,919,630   $139,056,863 
Restricted cash   263,027    90,222 
    408,182,657    139,147,085 
Non-current restricted cash   735,312    735,312 
Total  $408,917,969   $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 $1,122,156 and $1,170,165 in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Unpaid dividends are included in Note 11.4. Other non-cash investing activities related to investment properties are included in Note 8.

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.

(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 Mexico 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  

Q3 2023: 7.00% to12.21%

2022:      7.50% to 12.24%

  The higher the discount rate, the lower the fair value.
                     
            Exit cap rate  

Q3 2023: 6.50% to 8.75%

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: 

Q3 2023: 3.6% to 5.0%

2022:       3.4% to 5.0%

U.S.: 

Q3 2023: 2.2% to 3.5%

2022:       2.1% to 3.5%

 

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

15.Income taxes

 

The Entity is subject to Current Income Tax (“ISR”). The rate of ISR was 30%.

 

Income tax expense is recognized at an amount determined by multiplying the profit before tax for the interim reporting period by management’s best estimate of the weighted-average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year, adjusted for the tax effect of certain items recognized in full in the interim period. As such, the effective tax rate in the interim financial statements may differ from management’s estimate of the effective tax rate for the annual financial statements.

 

The Entity’s consolidated effective tax rate for the nine-month period and the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 was 28% and 41.8%, respectively(nine-month period and three-month period ended September 30, 2022 was 24% and 30.1%, respectively). The change in effective tax rate was caused mainly by the difference in exchange rates used in for the conversion of tax balances and foreign operation into US dollar.
