Parkit Enterprise Inc. (“Parkit” or the “Company”) (TSXV: PKT), today reported the Company’s first quarter 2023 results. Steve Scott, Chair of Parkit, commented:
“In Q1 Parkit closed on a $90.3 million portfolio in Winnipeg and Saskatchewan, continued to streamline operations on its properties and advance its leasing activities. The new portfolio adds significant scale by adding 800,000 sf of Gross Leasable Area and in-place cash flows.”
2023 Q1 Results and Recent Business Highlights
- Revenues and net rental income. Revenues and net rental income increased as the Company onboarded and integrated additional investment properties. Investment properties revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 rose 69% to $3,559,232, compared to $2,110,455 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net rental income (“NRI”), increased by 140% to $2,086,279 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $868,035 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in revenue and NRI from investment properties is due to the acquisitions made by Parkit and stabilization of certain investment properties. Parkit’s stabilized property margins continued to improve as the Company streamlined operations and signed new leases.
- Significant liquidity position. The Company maintained a strong liquidity position with cash and cash equivalents totaling $10,049,939 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $19,471,763 for the year ended December 31, 2022. During quarter, the Company utilized $80,000,000 from new credit facilities to fund acquisitions.
- Cash flows. Parkit increased its cash flow with $4,878,533 received from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $897,823 received for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Parkit used net cash of $92,528,394 in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to cash used of $16,483,481 from investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as the Company completed $90.3 million of acquisitions in Q1 2023. Parkit received net cash of $78,228,046 in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to net cash used of $414,973 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as a result of financing received from credit facilities to fund acquisitions.
- Funds from operations (“FFO”) increased for the period. The FFO, a Non-IFRS Measure, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by 24% to $443,693, compared to a FFO of $358,325 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in annual FFO was a result of additional NRI from investment properties offset by higher financing cost.
- Loss for the period. The Company had a net loss of $1,085,366 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to a net loss of $493,271 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. While rental income increased, the net loss was a result of higher depreciation and finance costs.
- Parking joint ventures reported a loss for Q1 2023. Parkit’s parking joint ventures reported a loss of $69,197 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to a profit of $39,412 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The loss is a result of seasonality and higher financing cost for the joint ventures. With the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Fly Away Parking, Fly-Away Parking results will improve without the financing cost burden. The Company expects the OP Holdings results to improve as Q1 is a seasonally weak quarter.
- Parkit completed $90.3 million of acquisitions for Q1 2023. The new industrial properties provide scale, are strategically located within industrial parks, include a diverse tenant base, have tenancies below market rents, have a runway for rental growth, and have medium-length lease terms.
- Leasing at market rental spreads. For the 3 months ended March 31, 2023, Parkit renewed the lease on 54,853 square feet. The extensions had an average rental rate which were 21% over the prior in-place rents.
- Continued focus on environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) initiatives. Parkit continued its focus on ESG initiatives by prioritizing environmental investments in its development plans and reviewing its corporate policies. The Company will explore the possibility of solar initiatives with the new Government of Canada investment tax credit.
Parkit is focused on continuing its shift into industrial real estate by growing its portfolio and maximizing cash flows from its investment properties, while stabilizing its parking operations.

Non-IFRS Measures
Management uses both IFRS and Non-IFRS Measures to assess the financial and operating performance of the Company’s operations. These Non-IFRS Measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Non-IFRS Measures referenced in this news release include the following:
Funds from Operations (“FFO”) – is a Non-IFRS Measure of operating performance as it focuses on cash flow from operating activities. REALPAC is the national industry association dedicated to advancing the long-term vitality of Canada’s real property sector. REALPAC defines Funds from Operations (FFO) as net income (calculated in accordance with IFRS), adjusted for, among other things, depreciation, transaction costs, gains and losses from property dispositions, foreign exchange, as well as other non-cash items. The Company believes that FFO can be a beneficial measure, when combined with primary IFRS measures, to assist in the evaluation of the Company’s ability to generate cash and evaluate its return on investments as it excludes the effects of real estate amortization and gains and losses from the sale of real estate, all of which are based on historical cost accounting and which may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance.
FFO should not be viewed as an alternative to, in isolation from, or superior to, net income or cash flow from operations, or results from Parkit’s comprehensive operations, respectively, or other measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. FFO should not be interpreted as an indicator of cash generated from operating activities and is not indicative of cash available to fund operating expenditures, or for the payment of cash distributions. FFO is simply an additional measure of operating performance which highlight trends in Parkit’s core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Parkit’s management also uses this Non-IFRS Measure in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and to prepare operating budgets. In addition, while Parkit’s methods of calculating FFO comply with REALPAC recommendations, FFO may differ from and not be comparable to FFO used by other companies.
The following table indicates how the Parkit reconciles FFO to the nearest IFRS measure.

Toronto, Ontario – Parkit Enterprise Inc. (TSXV: PKT) (“Parkit” or the “Corporation“) is pleased to announce that it has received conditional acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange to renew its Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB“) to purchase for cancellation, during the 12-month period starting March 24, 2023, up to 11,692,258 of the outstanding common shares of the Corporation (the “Common Shares“), representing 5% of the Common Shares outstanding. The program will end on March 23, 2024 unless the maximum amount of Common Shares is purchased before then or Parkit provides earlier notice of termination.
The purchase and payment for the Common Shares will be made by Parkit through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange or alternative trading systems. National Bank Financial Inc. has been selected as Parkit’s agent for the NCIB. The price paid for the Common Shares will be, subject to NCIB pricing rules contained in securities laws, the prevailing market price of such Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange at the time of such purchase. Parkit intends to fund the purchases out of available cash.
Parkit believes that the market price of its Common Shares may not reflect their underlying value and the Board of Directors has authorized this initiative because, in the Board’s opinion, the proposed purchase of Common Shares pursuant to the NCIB constitutes an appropriate use of Parkit’s funds, and the repurchase of its Common Shares is one way of creating shareholder value.
To the knowledge of Parkit, no director, senior officer or other insider of the Parkit currently intends to sell any Common Shares under the NCIB. However, sales by such persons through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange may occur if the personal circumstances of any such person changes or any such person makes a decision unrelated to these NCIB purchases. The benefits to any such person whose Common Shares are purchased would be the same as the benefits available to all other holders whose Common Shares are purchased.

Further Information
For comprehensive disclosure of Parkit’s performance for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and its financial position as at such date, please see Parkit’s Interim Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Non-IFRS Measures
Management uses both IFRS and Non-IFRS Measures to assess the financial and operating performance of the Corporation’s operations. These Non-IFRS Measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Non-IFRS Measures referenced in this news release include the following:
Funds from Operations (“FFO”) – is a Non-IFRS Measure of operating performance as it focuses on cash flow from operating activities. REALPAC is the national industry association dedicated to advancing the long-term vitality of Canada’s real property sector. REALPAC defines Funds From Operations (FFO) as net income (calculated in accordance with IFRS), adjusted for, among other things, depreciation, transaction costs, gains and losses from property dispositions, foreign exchange, as well as other non-cash items. The Corporation believes that FFO can be a beneficial measure, when combined with primary IFRS measures, to assist in the evaluation of the Corporation’s ability to generate cash and evaluate its return on investments as it excludes the effects of real estate amortization and gains and losses from the sale of real estate, all of which are based on historical cost accounting and which may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance.
FFO should not be viewed as an alternative to, in isolation from, or superior to, net income or cash flow from operations, or results from Parkit’s comprehensive operations, respectively, or other measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. FFO should not be interpreted as an indicator of cash generated from operating activities and is not indicative of cash available to fund operating expenditures, or for the payment of cash distributions. FFO is simply an additional measure of operating performance which highlight trends in Parkit’s core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Parkit’s management also uses this Non-IFRS Measure in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and to prepare operating budgets. In addition, while Parkit’s methods of calculating FFO comply with REALPAC recommendations, FFO may differ from and not be comparable to FFO used by other companies.
The following table indicates how the Parkit reconciles FFO to the nearest IFRS measure.

Non-IFRS Measures
Management uses both IFRS and Non-IFRS Measures to assess the financial and operating performance of the Corporation’s operations. These Non-IFRS Measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Non-IFRS Measures referenced in this news release include the following:
Funds from Operations (“FFO“) – is a Non-IFRS Measure of operating performance as it focuses on cash flow from operating activities. REALPAC is the national industry association dedicated to advancing the long-term vitality of Canada’s real property sector. REALPAC defines Funds From Operations (FFO) as net income (calculated in accordance with IFRS), adjusted for, among other things, depreciation, transaction costs, gains and losses from property dispositions, foreign exchange, as well as other non-cash items. The Corporation believes that FFO can be a beneficial measure, when combined with primary IFRS measures, to assist in the evaluation of the Corporation’s ability to generate cash and evaluate its return on investments as it excludes the effects of real estate amortization and gains and losses from the sale of real estate, all of which are based on historical cost accounting and which may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance.
FFO should not be viewed as an alternative to, in isolation from, or superior to, net income or cash flow from operations, or results from Parkit’s comprehensive operations, respectively, or other measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. FFO should not be interpreted as an indicator of cash generated from operating activities and is not indicative of cash available to fund operating expenditures, or for the payment of cash distributions. FFO is simply an additional measure of operating performance which highlight trends in Parkit’s core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Parkit’s management also uses this Non-IFRS Measure in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and to prepare operating budgets. In addition, while Parkit’s methods of calculating FFO comply with REALPAC recommendations, FFO may differ from and not be comparable to FFO used by other companies.
The following table indicates how the Parkit reconciles FFO to the nearest IFRS measure.
