Main Highlights

Corporate

  • On October 29, the opening of Explanada Culiacán will take place, a property with more than 50,000 square meters of GLA. As of to date, 69% of the contracts were signed representing 52% of the total GLA, with important brands such as: Cinemex, Suburbia, Coppel and Axo Group.
  • Aligned to the reduction of epidemiological risk, this quarter the authorities of each locality allowed the opening of new business lines, such as the opening of entertainment businesses in some states and relaxed restrictions in business hours. To date more than 80% of our commercial spaces are operating.
  • Traffic in our shopping malls and sales of our clients are beginning to experience signs of recovery. At the end of the quarter, traffic reached 50% and sales of our clients reached 60%, compared to 3Q19 levels, while compared to 2Q20 the increases were 166% and 433%, respectively.
  • As of September 30, we signed 920 agreements under our Covid-19 support program for tenants for a total of Ps. 266 million in credit notes, which correspond to approximately 8% of the annual fixed rent. We estimate that given the extent of the pandemic in July and August, this amount would reach between 12% to 15% of annual rent once all negotiations are concluded. These agreements will take effect only if the tenants regularize their debts and payments as of 1Q21.
    • The discounts are recognized in the income statement according to IFRS 16, which states that any modification and/or discount to a leasing contract related to Covid-19 contingency, will be recognized in accordance with the remaining term of each contract. In 3Q20 and 9M20, Ps. 38 million and Ps. 64 million were recognized in the income statement, respectively, and the remaining will be gradually amortized.
    • With these agreements we were able to recover 66% of collections, an increase of 10% compared to 2Q20. The recovery rate in offices was 82%, while in shopping centers was 58%.
    • This quarter, in addition to the proportional recognition of the Covid-19 support program, we added an estimate of non-performing accounts receivable amounting to Ps. 41 million. This effect is reflected in operating expenses and subtracted from NOI.
