Fibra Next Posts Strong First Results as Antitrust Review Holds Up FUNO Asset Integration

Regulatory clearance from Mexico’s competition authority is the remaining hurdle to the planned consolidation.

Overview

  • Fibra Next reported its first quarter as a listed REIT with total revenue of 132.4 million pesos, NOI of 121.2 million, EBITDA of 112.6 million, net income of 216 million, and portfolio occupancy of 99.3%.
  • CBFI holders approved the purchase of the Triple Home Run portfolio valued at 7,405 million pesos, with payment to come from July IPO proceeds.
  • The planned transfer of Fibra Uno’s industrial assets would occur through a joint venture called Next Properties at valuations equivalent to the current portfolio.
  • Management says all corporate approvals are secured and the trust is awaiting Cofece sign-off, with timing uncertain during Mexico’s transition to a new antimonopoly authority.
  • At quarter-end the portfolio comprised nine properties totaling 568,188 square meters with investment properties booked at 14,398 million pesos, and the trust targets roughly 200 assets and more than 8 million square meters subject to regulatory approval.
