TORONTO, May 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Skyline Investments (the “Company”) (TASE: SKLN), is a Canadian company that specializes in hospitality real estate investments in the United States and Canada, published its first quarter 2019 results.

Skyline CEO Blake Lyon said: “In Q1-2019, Skyline presented significant growth in same properties revenue and NOI mainly due to recent capital improvements and better weather conditions at our ski resorts. Bear Valley’s improvement was due to improved weather conditions compared to the previous years and the installation of a new high-speed ski lift which allowed us to increase ticket prices. Similarly, Horseshoe’s NOI improved due to the increase in new room inventory for the Resort associated with the recently completed Slopeside building. Skyline continues to focus and improve its operation activities and during this quarter completed the renovation of Courtyard Ft. Myers and the HVAC replacement at the Renaissance Hotel. While these improvements impacted our Q1-2019 earnings due to rooms being out of service, these improvements are expected to improve the performance of these assets in the coming years. The Company also closed the sale of the Blue Mountain Retail asset at the end of the quarter for CAD 31.7M, which was purchased in 2013 for CAD 20M, realizing on the fair value gains recorded on the Company’s balance sheet.”

*Adjusted EBITDA was restated as a result of a change in definition by the Company. The new definition reconciles to the financial statements and reflects the operations of the Company. FFO was restated as a result of a change in definition to coincide with REAPAC's definition for Canadian real estate companies. Same property NOI was restated as a result of an error at the time of publishing.

  • Total revenue for Q1 2019 was CAD $56.9M, an increase of 20.3% over last year’s first quarter total revenue of CAD $47.3M. Revenue from income-producing assets has increased by approx. CAD $3.7M, mainly due to a combined improvement of CAD$2.9M at Horseshoe and Bear Valley due to better ski weather conditions and recent capital improvements. Revenue from sale of residential real estate was CAD $6M, well above CAD $0.2M last year. During Q1-2019, we provided occupancy to 14 units at Lakeside Lodge and recognized revenue of $5.5M.
  • NOI from income-producing assets in Q1 2019 amounted to CAD $12.8M, an increase of 15.3% compared to CAD $11.1M in the same period last year. Most of this improvement is attributed to Horseshoe and Bear Valley, while rest of the assets presented stable year over year results.
  • Same property income-producing asset NOI in Q1 2019 was similar to the total NOI from income producing assets.
  • Operating EBITDA in Q1 2019 increased by 34.6% to CAD $12.6M compared to CAD $9.3M in the same period last year. This improvement is mainly attributed to improvement in Same property NOI and higher profit from sale of residential real estate.
  • Derecognition of investment costs and other capital losses in Q1-2019 was CAD $1.4M due to the expiration of an agreement with an unrelated third party to assume the acquisition of the Bahamas project. The Company determined that the remaining costs that were to be reimbursed by the third party were to be written off in the current quarter.
  • Loss from early extinguishment of debt in Q1-2019 was CAD $2.7M. The majority of this amount is attributable to the sale of the Blue Mountain retail that had a high interest loan (6.75%) for which the Company had to pay an early loan repayment fee.
  • Financing expense in Q1 2019 totaled CAD $5.9M compared to CAD $4.9M in the corresponding period last year. This increase is mainly due to a higher variable interest rates and additional debt to finance improvements to our properties, including the Renaissance and Fort Myers renovations.
  • Net loss for Q1 2019 amounted to CAD $1.46M compared with a CAD $126K gain in the same period last year.
  • Total assets as of March 31, 2019 decreased to CAD $757M from CAD $784M at the end of 2018, mainly due to the sale of Blue Mountain retail.
  • The Company’s shareholders’ equity at the end of March 31, 2019 was CAD $296M (approx. CAD $257.7M attributable to the shareholders), representing 39.1% of the balance sheet. At March 31, 2019 the equity per share attributed to shareholders was NIS $41.22 (CAD $15.4) and the share price was NIS $29.95 (CAD $11.19).
  • Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2019 amounted to CAD $33.6M compared with CAD $28M at the end of 2018. The increase in cash is mainly attributed to proceeds from the sale of the Blue Mountain retail.
  • Net financial debt as of March 31, 2019 totaled CAD $323M, constituting 44.7% of Total Assets (excluding cash).
  • The sale of Blue Mountain Retail closed at the end of Q1 and allowed the Company to realize on the Fair Value recorded on the Company’s balance sheet.
