THE REIT REVIEW Drop in long-term interest rates should provide additional cash flow growth as mortgages mature Source: Canaccord Geniuty Research

• 10-year GoC yields have declined from 2.6% in October 2018, the highest level in more than four years, to just 1.3%

• Although the current forecast, according to Bloomberg, is for long-term bond yields to increase 50 bps over the next 18 months to 1.8%, this would still be 80 bps below the level of 10-year GoC yields in October 2018 (2.6%)

• According to CMLS Financial, CMHC-insured mortgage spreads over 10-year GoC bond yields are currently ~100 bps and there

would likely be material interest rate savings as REITs refinance maturing mortgages at current interest rates

• Should accommodation (residential and seniors housing) focused REITs refinance maturing debt at current rates, this should translate to, on average, 3.3% of incremental FFO per unit

• According to CMLS Financial, commercial mortgage spreads over 10-year GoC bond yields are currently ~180 bps

• For commercial REITs (including office, industrial and retail REITs), maturing mortgages can be refinanced at rates that are, on average, 120 bps lower than current in-place interest rates (4.1%), which should translate to, on average, 2.5% of incremental FFO per unit

Long-term bond yields expected to remain low

Financing costs for CMHC-insured debt should decline

Commercial mortgage rates at lowest level in two years

MORNING INK REPORT Is the winning cannabis business model starting to emerge? Source: INK Research

• Canopy is geared towards the wholesale market and has made big investments to supply the broad Canadian markets.

• In contrast, XLY has invested in cultivation facilities and agreements as part of its strategy to secure supply for its consumer products

• In July, UK-based Imperial Brands announced it plans to invest about $123 million into Auxly

• As part of the deal, Auxly would get access to Imperial's vapour business and an exclusive development partnership for cannabis products globally

• That move also contrasts to Canopy which received a major investment from alcohol drinks maker Constellation Brands (Mixed; STZ) some time ago

• On August 19th, Canopy Growth (WEED) senior officer David Bigioni acquired 95,000 common shares on a direct ownership basis at a price of $8.91 through an exercise of options. He sold the same amount of common shares at a price of $36.421 through the public market on the same day

• Canopy Growth has above median ownership (direct & indirect holdings) by Officers and Directors compared to other large-cap stocks in the Healthcare sector according to SEDI filings as of August 24th, 2019

(NOTE: Canaccord Genuity Corp. acted as financial advisor and provided fairness opinion to Acreage Holdings Inc. in its proposed transaction with Canopy Growth Corp.)

Any reference to a research report or a recommendation is not a solicitation to purchase or sell any security and it does not consider the individual investment objectives, financial situation, suitability or risk tolerance of any person or corporation.

Quest®: Canaccord Genuity’s proprietary online valuation and analytical tool which combines consensus market figures with the Quest® Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Valuation Model.

Quest® triAngle is Canaccord Genuity’s proprietary 15-factor, stock-picking tool, which systematically measures Value, Quality and Momentum and presents the results in a simple, easy to understand score. It takes a multi-pronged approach to Value, Quality and Momentum using five factors for each component, which adds more consistency of performance unlike a reliance on one single measure. It uses a mix of historic and forecast data, and combines absolute valuation data with comparisons relative to history. The triAngle is designed to generate stock ideas and provide a consistent framework for analysis of portfolio holdings.

Quest® Methodology

Quest® is an analytical tool that involves use of a set of proprietary quantitative algorithms and value calculations to derive a number of corporate performance and valuation metrics, including assigning a Default Quest® value per share and generating a triAngle Score, which is a relative ranking based on a number of operational and valuation metrics. These algorithms and value calculations are consistently applied to all the companies included in the Quest® database. Third-party data (including consensus earnings estimates) are systematically translated into a number of default variables and incorporated into the algorithms. The source financial statement, pricing, and earnings data provided by outside data vendors are subject to quality control and may also be adjusted to more closely measure the underlying economics of firm performance. These adjustments provide consistency when analyzing a single company across time, or analyzing multiple companies across industries or national borders. As the third-party data are updated, the triAngle Score generated by Quest®, and the Default Quest® value per share may change. The default variables may also be adjusted by the user to produce alternative values, any of which could occur. Additional information about the Quest® methodology is available on request.
