Letter to Shareholders
Over the last year we have generated approximately $700 million in cash for Dream including the sale of Dream Global REIT, the sale of a partial interest in our Glacier Ridge development in Calgary and our agreement to sell our renewable power assets, which has made our platform that much safer. While accomplishing this, we have made further investments in, and continue to develop, our best-in-class assets. Construction continues to progress on our first affordable rental building in our West Don Lands development in Toronto and we are achieving important milestones at Zibi, our waterfront development in the Nation’s Capital, which will be one of Canada’s most sustainable communities.
By diversifying our balance sheet over the last four years, we successfully repositioned our portfolio, focusing on high-quality assets located in core markets, and reducing our exposure to Western Canada. We have placed an even greater emphasis on the quality of earnings and cashflow from recurring income generating assets which allows us to cover the fixed operating costs of our business. Over time, our recurring income sources will grow as we further invest and build out our development pipeline. We have invested in Dream Alternatives and Dream Office REIT on an opportunistic basis and have a 24% and 29% ownership in each entity, respectively. Across the Dream group we have 9.7 million square feet of retail and commercial GLA in fully stabilized assets or in our development pipeline and over 12,200 residential units (at project level) primarily located across the GTA and Ottawa. Our Toronto developments we hold today do not require a significant amount of capital, which provides us with additional financial flexibility. We ended the quarter with over $430 million in cash on hand or through funds available under our operating facilities, while maintaining a conservative debt position at 27.4%. Considering our high-quality assets and solid liquidity, Dream is in its strongest position to weather the current global environment we are facing.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a significant impact on our lives and will for at least the near term. We remain focused on taking care of our people, tenants, communities and shareholders through these unprecedented times and are prudently managing our capital to make the best decision for the company and to emerge as an even stronger business.
Although cautious, we are looking forward to how we can grow and continue to make the company safer. We are excited to announce the expansion of our asset management business with our private investment division, Dream Equity Partners. Building off our recent success with the sale of Dream Global and our lengthy track record of value creation, we believe there will continue to be strong demand for the global allocation of capital to real estate. Throughout Dream’s history, we have effectively navigated through challenging times and the launch of Dream Equity Partners will provide an additional platform for us to capitalize on opportunities in a post COVID-19 environment.
We thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
“Michael Cooper”
Michael Cooper President and Chief Responsible Officer May 12, 2020
