We are pleased to send you Alignvest Student Housing Real Estate Investment Trust’s Q4 2022 Management Report.
Our fair market value remains stable due to our strong operating performance and forecasted NOI growth in 2023. Demand for high-quality student housing continues to outpace supply, which has translated into upward pressure on rental rates and resulted in low vacancy rates (99.6% occupancy as at December 31, 2022). Our current pre-leasing velocity is providing confidence that the 2023/2024 academic year will follow similar trends; we are budgeting 2023 NOI at ~8% higher than 2022 on a same-property basis. We are pleased to report that we are already over 60% pre-leased at our privately-managed properties for September 2023 (over 20% ahead last year at the same time).
We are pleased to have delivered a 10.5% annualized net return since inception, with limited volatility. Our annualized distribution yield is 4.9% as at December 2022, equivalent to approximately a 10% pre-tax equivalent yield as it is delivered as a tax-efficient return of capital. We believe our REIT will continue to perform well in 2023 given our market leading position and our strong business fundamentals.

SEE-MORE, HALIFAX
We are pleased to announce that Alignvest Student Housing Real Estate Investment Trust (“ASH REIT”) has completed the acquisition of a purpose-built student accommodation (“PBSA”) asset known as See-More, located at 1402-1424 Seymour Street in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
See-More is a six-floor, newly constructed student housing facility located steps away from Dalhousie University. See-More is one of only a few purpose-built student housing properties serving Dalhousie University and is 100% leased for the 2022/23 academic year.
See-More is equipped with 491 beds in 141 fully furnished units, including studios, three-, four- and five-bedroom suites, which provides a wide variety of configurations for potential tenants. Additionally, See-More features several student-oriented amenities, including a yoga and wellness studio, games room, on-site laundry facilities, social rooms, common study areas and an underground parking garage.
This strategic acquisition further diversifies ASH REIT’s portfolio and solidifies the REIT’s position as the leading owner and operator of Canadian PBSA. With this acquisition, ASH REIT owns in excess of 5,200 student housing beds across Canada. Further, this acquisition marks ASH REIT’s entry into Atlantic Canada, which is home to several universities and colleges in need of housing for their students. We look forward to further growth in the Maritimes.

We are pleased to send you the June 30, 2022 Management Report of Alignvest Student Housing Real Estate Investment Trust (“ASH REIT”).
We continue to experience high inflation in Canada, with the inflation rate rising to 8.1% in June 2022. We are seeing that student housing provides very effective protection against inflation due to the natural, high turnover of student leases. For the 2022/2023 academic year, we are executing leases at rental rates that are 3% to 23% higher than the previous year. We also continue to experience very strong pre-leasing, with our portfolio being over 94% leased for September 2022 (compared to 76% at this time last year). The demand for high quality beds continues to be very strong and our portfolio is performing as expected.
In response to high inflation, the Bank of Canada continues to increase benchmark interest rates. We are pleased to have stable and attractive financing in place, with no material near-term financing requirements. With respect to potential acquisitions, we have been building up a robust cash reserve on our balance sheet to focus on acquiring strategic, high-quality acquisitions. We are seeing previously unavailable properties become available for purchase, providing us with the potential opportunity to further expand our portfolio across new markets.

Management Report
Occupancy remains strong in our two facilities in Nova Scotia. When you combine the two reports below, the percentage of units rented between the two facilities is 89.6%. If you look at the square footage, we are currently leasing out 94% of all space available. This is considered quite high for storage and Wright in particular is in need of more space with over 97% of available area currently rented!
2021 was a solid year for both facilities. Our revenue for the year was $1,631,116 over 10.5 months of operation with monthly revenues increasing 10-20% over the course of the year. The Q1 numbers, as noted below, show this growth trend continuing with $500,000 of revenue in the first quarter of 2022. This puts Wright-Parkway on track to surpass $2M in revenue for 2022.
Management is now looking at expansion options for the Wright facility. This expansion could add 4 to 6 stories and up to 60,000 Sq Ft of much needed space to this facility. Management believes the net gain in value for Wright from such an expansion could be significant
