Q3 2024 Highlights

  • Q3 2024 same asset revenue has increased by 25.8% to $36.4 million compared to $29 million in Q3 2023, overall increase was primarily driven by the incline in US full-service hotels, especially due to the completion of the renovation of the Autograph (formerly Renaissance). This was partially offset by the decline in select service hotels over the prior year, driven by lower occupancy due to the ongoing renovations at two of its Courtyard hotels, as well as generally lower market conditions across all Courtyard properties. Total revenue from hotels and resorts was $36.4 million compared to $29.7 million in Q3 2023;

  • Q3 2024 same asset NOI1 increased to $5.8 million compared to $5.5 million in Q3 2023. The increase over prior year is primarily driven by higher revenues at the Autograph, and partially offset by increases in operating expenses across the portfolio;

  • Q3 2024 Adjusted EBITDA2 was $1.6 million compared to $1.7 million in Q3 2023.

  • Q3 2024 Funds from Operations ("FFO")1 was (6.6) million (or negative $0.40) per share, compared to a negative Q3 2023 FFO of ($2.0 million) (or negative $0.12) per share.

  • The book value per share of the shareholder equity is 29.59 NIS ($10.79), per share, which is 41.0% above the closing price of its shares at September 30, 2024.

INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS

All amounts in millions of Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated

  • Total revenue for Q3 2024 was $36.4, compared to $29.7 in Q3 202­­3. Revenue from hotels and resorts increased by 22.6% to $36.4 driven by the increase in occupancy rate due to the completion of renovation of the Autograph hotel. This was partially offset by the decline in revenue from select-service hotels due to the renovations at two of its Courtyard hotels. Same asset revenue increased by 25.8% relative to Q3 2023.

  • Same asset NOI for Q3 2024 was$5.8, compared to $5.5 in Q3 2023. The increase over prior year is mainly due to the completion of hotel renovations.

  • Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2024 was $1.6, compared to $1.7 in Q3 2023.

  • Net financial expense for Q3 2024 totalled $10.0, compared to $12.2 in Q3 2023. Decrease in net financial expense was due to the $5.8 million provision for credit losses recognized in the prior year, no provision was recorded in the current period. In addition to this, interest income from Freed VTB loans and bank deposits have increased in Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023. This was offset by the increase in interest expense from the loans driven primarily by the higher interest rates and more loans compared to prior year and the foreign exchange revaluation of bonds - the non-cash foreign exchange impact of the Company's bonds was a loss of ($2.2,) compared to a gain of 0.13 in Q3 2023.

  • FFO for Q3 2024 was ($6.6) compared to ($2.0) in Q3 2023. There is a decrease in FFO due to the sale of the 11 Courtyard hotels, partially offset by the completion of hotel renovations, as discussed above, which in the prior period negatively impacted earnings.

  • Net income (loss) for Q3 2024 was ($33.4), compared to ($11.8) in Q3 2023. Excluding minority interests, the Company had net income (loss) of ($30.9) in Q3 2024, compared to net income (loss) of ($9.6) in Q3 2023. The loss increase is mainly due to the sale of the 11 Courtyard hotels on September 30, 2024, for which the Company recorded a loss of US $12.9 in its financial statements.

  • Total comprehensive income (loss) for Q3 2024 was ($36.3) compared to total comprehensive loss of ($15.5) in Q3 2023.

BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS

  • Total assets as at September 30, 2024were $447.7 compared to $640.9 as at December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by the early repayment of Bond B as well as debt payments and capital expenditure payments, and the significant decrease in PPE due to the sale of the 11 Courtyards, partially offset by the additions to PP&E as a result of renovations at the Autograph.

  • Cash and cash equivalents were $16.5 as at September 30, 2024 compared to $57.1 as at December 31, 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to the Bond B early repayment in June 2024 as well as capital expenditures, and net debt payments. This was partially offset by the receipt of funds from the shareholders' loan and the proceeds from the sale of the 11 Courtyard hotels.

  • Net debt as at September 30, 2024totalled $178.9, a decrease of ($74.8) or (29.5%) compared to net debt of $253.7 as at December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by repayment of MetLife loan and Deerfield line of credit following the sale of the 11 Courtyards, and repayment of Bond B in June 2024, partially offset by receiving a bank credit facility for two of the remaining Courtyards (US $20), shareholders loans (CAD $30.5), additional bank construction loan draw (US $7.3), OWDA loan (US$1.8), and the Cuyahoga County loan (US$2) for the renovation of the Autograph hotel, as well as an impact from FX translation of US loan balances.

  • Total equity attributable to shareholders was $180.2 ($208.0 including non-controlling interest), representing 40.2% of total assets. Equity per share attributable to shareholders was 29.59 NIS ($10.79), compared to the closing share price on September 30, 2024 of 17.45 NIS ($6.36), a discount of 41.0%.

Additional Information :

Non-IFRS Measures

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). However, the following measures: NOI, FFO, FFO per share and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures recognized under IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS, and should not be compared to or construed as alternatives to profit/loss, cash flow from operating activities or other measures of financial performance determined in accordance with IFRS. NOI, FFO, FFO per share and Adjusted EBITDA as computed by the Company, may differ from similar measures as reported by other companies in similar or different industries. However, these non-IFRS measures are recognized supplemental measures of performance for real estate issuers widely used by the real estate industry, particularly by those publicly traded entities that own and operate income-producing properties, and the Company believes they provide useful supplemental information to both management and readers in measuring the financial performance of the Company. Skyline also uses certain supplementary financial measures as key performance indicators. Supplementary financial measures are financial measures that are intended to be disclosed on a periodic basis to depict the historical or expected future financial performance, financial position, or cash flow, that are not disclosed directly in the financial statements and are not non-IFRS measures. Same Asset NOI is a financial measure that is calculated using the same methodology as NOI, but only including NOI from properties owned for 2 full years prior to September 30, 2024.

Further details on non-IFRS measures and Supplementary Financial Measures are set out in the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the period ended September 30, 2024 and available on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com or MAGNA at www.magna.isa.gov.il and are incorporated by reference in this news release.

The reconciliations for each non-IFRS measure included in this news release are outlined as follows:

NOI

Skyline defines NOI as property revenues less property operating expenses. Management believes that NOI is a useful key indicator of performance on an unlevered basis as it represents a measure over which Management of property operations has control. NOI is also a key input used by management in determining the value of the Properties. NOI is used by industry analysts, investors and Management to measure operating performance of Canadian companies. NOI represents revenue from cash generating properties less property operating expenses excluding depreciation as presented in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Given the seasonality of its hospitality operations, NOI for a fiscal year (or trailing four quarters) is considered by Management as a more accurate measure of the Company's performance.

Skyline calculates NOI as operating income before depreciation, valuation adjustments and other income, adjusted for:

i)

Segmented results from Development Segment

ii)

Selling and Marketing expenses

iii)

Administrative and General expenses

Alternatively, the same result is arrived at by adding segmented results (per note 12 in the consolidated financial statements) of the Company's hotels and resorts. The following table sets out a reconciliation of NOI from hotels and resorts to operating income before depreciation, valuation adjustments and other income:

FFO

FFO is a non-IFRS financial measure of operating performance widely used by the real estate industry, particularly by those publicly traded entities that own and operate income-producing properties. FFO is not an alternative to net income determined in accordance with IFRS. Skyline calculates the financial measure in accordance with the Real Property Association of Canada White Paper issued in January 2022, except for (i) changes in the fair value of financial instruments which are economically effective hedges but do not qualify for hedge accounting, (ii) non-controlling interest, and (iii) operational revenue and expenses from right-of-use assets. The use of FFO, combined with the data required under IFRS, has been included for the purpose of improving the understanding of the operating results of Skyline.

Management believes that FFO provides an operating performance measure that, when compared period-over- period, reflects the impact on operations of trends in occupancy, room rates, operating costs and realty taxes and interest costs, and provides a perspective of the Company's financial performance that is not immediately apparent from net income determined in accordance with IFRS. FFO excludes from net income items that do not arise from operating activities, such as fair value adjustments, purchase transaction costs, and deferred income taxes, if any. FFO, however, still includes non-cash revenues related to accounting for straight-line rent and makes no deduction for recurring capital expenditures necessary to sustain the Company's existing earnings stream. It should be emphasized that the method of calculation of this indicator by the Company may differ from the method of calculation applied by other companies. The following table sets out a reconciliation of FFO to net income:

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company's operations include income producing assets and revenue from the sale of developed real estate. As such, Management believes Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) is a useful supplemental measure of its operating performance for investors and debt holders.

EBITDA is defined as Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization. The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA as follows:

  • Income from hotels and resorts;

  • Sale of residential real estate;

Less:

  • Operating expenses from hotels and resorts;

  • Cost of sales of residential real estate;

  • Selling and marketing expenses;

  • Administration and general expenses

Adjusted EBITDA does not include fair value gains, gains on sale or other expenses, and is presented in the Company's consolidated statement of profit and loss for year ended September 30, 2024 as operating income before depreciation, valuation adjustments and other income.
