FIBRA Macquarie México Reports First Quarter 2025 Results

April 30, 2025 --

FIBRA Macquarie México (FIBRAMQ) (BMV: FIBRAMQ) announced its financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

FIRST QUARTER 2025 HIGHLIGHTS

  • Total Industrial portfolio leasing activity comprised 1.6 million square feet of GLA, including early renewals of 619 thousand square feet
  • Solid tenant retention rates of approximately 80% across both Industrial and Retail portfolios
  • Retail portfolio quarterly NOI of Ps. 152.4 million, up 4.4% QoQ and 7.5% YoY
  • Consolidated 1Q25 NOI up 20.4% YoY
  • Consolidated 1Q25 AFFO up 23.1% YoY

“We are pleased to have started the year with positive momentum and delivered solid earnings growth. Both NOI and AFFO were up more than 20% year over year in Peso terms, with positive rental rate growth and margin expansion,” said Simon Hanna, FIBRA Macquarie’s chief executive officer. “We also recently completed the first development at our Tijuana industrial park comprising 385k sqft of GLA, and are actively marketing it for lease. We have remained disciplined in our growth capex program, with one additional building in stabilization and strategic land parcels available for future growth to commence at the appropriate time.”

Mr. Hanna continued, “While we face an uncertain macro and tariff policy backdrop, we believe we are well-positioned with a resilient portfolio and a strong balance sheet. As we look at the remainder of the year, we have record low expirations in 2025, with approximately 7.4% of the industrial portfolio scheduled to expire. Importantly, we have consistently prioritized prudent balance sheet management which has allowed us to maintain comfortable coverage ratios and ample liquidity, including a recent revolving credit facility drawdown to provide additional flexibility. We remain optimistic that Mexico will continue to retain its privileged status within North American supply chains, and that FIBRA Macquarie’s strategic positioning will continue to deliver long term value for our certificate holders.”

CAPITAL ALLOCATION

FIBRAMQ continues to pursue a strategy of investing in and developing class “A” industrial assets in core markets that demonstrate strong performance and a positive economic outlook.

DISTRIBUTION

FIBRAMQ declared a cash distribution of Ps. 0.6125 per certificate for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The distribution is expected to be paid on or about June 27, 2025, to holders of record on June 26, 2025. FIBRAMQ’s certificates are expected to commence trading ex-distribution on June 26, 2025.

FY25 GUIDANCE

AFFO

FIBRA Macquarie is reaffirming its FY25 AFFO per certificate guidance of Ps. 2.95 to Ps. 3.05.

The FY25 AFFO guidance equates to a range of US$115 million to US$119 million, representing an annual increase of between 1% and 5% in underlying USD terms. FIBRAMQ maintains a cautious outlook on operational performance for 2025, and this guidance assumes no material deterioration of the geopolitical landscape or Mexico’s key trading relationships. FIBRAMQ has a record-low level of annual scheduled lease expirations in its Industrial portfolio, with remaining scheduled expirations of approximately 7.4% of Industrial portfolio annualized base rents. Revenue and NOI growth for the consolidated portfolio is expected to be partly offset by the financing costs of the precautionary drawdown on its revolving credit facility and near-term investments in FIBRAMQ’s industrial growth capex program, which is expected to contribute to additional revenue and AFFO growth from FY26 onwards.

  • This guidance assumes: an average exchange rate of Ps. 20.50 per US dollar for the remainder of 2025;
  • no new acquisitions or divestments;
  • no issuances or repurchases of certificates;
  • no deterioration in broader economic and market conditions, including the potential implementation of tariffs or deterioration in the trade relationship with key trading partners

Should the recent appreciation of the Peso relative to the US dollar persist, FIBRAMQ will provide an update to the market regarding its FY25 AFFO per certificate guidance. It is important to note that the FY25 AFFO guidance in US dollars, ranging from US$115 million to US$119 million, is not impacted by the Peso's appreciation.

Cash Distribution

FIBRAMQ is reaffirming guidance for cash distributions in FY25 of Ps. 2.45 per certificate, paid in equal quarterly installments of Ps. 0.6125 per certificate.

The FY25 cash distribution guidance equates to approximately US$95m, representing an annual increase for scheduled distributions of 4.2% in underlying USD terms.

The guidance implies an expected FY25 AFFO payout ratio of approximately 82%, based on the AFFO guidance midpoint.

The payment of distributions is subject to the approval of the Manager, stable market conditions and prudent management of FIBRAMQ’s capital position.

Outstanding certificates

FIBRA Macquarie had 797,311,397 outstanding certificates as of March 31, 2025. This considers the 36.0 million certificates issuance to existing holders that was made in March 2024 in respect of the extraordinary distribution corresponding to FY23, resulting in a 4.7% increase in outstanding CBFIs.
