Executive summary

Logistic Properties of the Americas Q2 FY26 — Strategic Divestment Fuels Mexico Expansion

Logistic Properties of the Americas delivered strong Q2 FY26 results, marked by significant revenue and NOI growth, driven by high occupancy and rising market rents. The strategic divestment of Lima Sur Park at a premium provides substantial capital for accelerated expansion into the larger Mexican market, while the company maintains commitment to its foundational markets. This capital recycling strategy aims to enhance value creation and diversify the portfolio.

USMCA trade agreement uncertainty Ongoing

Affects northern industrial markets like Tijuana and Monterrey

Mitigation:Prioritizing off-market and proprietary acquisitions in domestically oriented markets, avoiding areas vulnerable to trade policy volatility.

High interest rates in Colombia Near-term

Hindering new development starts

Mitigation:Waiting for an easing of interest rates; balancing tenant demand with new market rents.

FX exposure in Colombia Ongoing

20% of portfolio in Colombian pesos, unhedged, leading to translation effects (e.g., 11% underlying revenue growth vs 29.3% reported)

Mitigation:Acknowledged; no specific hedging strategy mentioned, rather managed by portfolio design.

Valuation gap between share price and intrinsic asset value Ongoing

Intrinsic value net of capital gains tax stood at $8.62 per share at Q2 end

Mitigation:Increased investor outreach, participation at industry and investor conferences, enhanced digital presence, and new equity coverage.

What to watch in Q3 FY26

Lima Sur proceeds receipt

Q3 FY26
Current Under regulatory approval
Target First payment received

Why it matters

The receipt of these funds is critical for funding the planned expansion into Mexico.

We expect to get the first payment in, let's say, the third quarter. I would expect that to be in September before the end of the third quarter.

Q&A highlights

Will the 10% average rent per square foot increase seen in Q2 continue into the second half of the year?

Esteban clarified that the rental rate, excluding FX, would likely stay at similar levels for the second half of the year, as fewer leases or re-leases are scheduled.

“For the second half of the year, we don't expect that as much trying to eliminate the FX component, because we don't have that many leases or re-leases going on in the back half of the year. So we should expect that to pretty much stay on similar levels.”

Detailed narrative

Strategic Capital Recycling and Mexico Expansion

LPA executed a major strategic divestment of its Lima Sur Park in Peru for $145 million, realizing an 18% premium over its appraised value. The net proceeds of approximately $65 million, after debt repayment and taxes, are earmarked for expansion in Mexico.

This move is part of a broader strategy to shift the portfolio's center of mass towards Mexico, with a goal for Mexico to represent over 50% of LPA's property portfolio within 2-3 years, leveraging the country's larger and more dynamic industrial real estate market.

Operational Performance and Market Dynamics

The company reported robust operational performance, maintaining 100% occupancy across its regional logistics platform. Revenue growth was strong at 26.1% YoY, with Peru and Colombia leading at 50.4% and 29.3% respectively. Same-property NOI grew 14.5%. Average rent per square foot increased 10% to $8.88, reflecting strong demand for Class A facilities and LPA's pricing power.

Development Pipeline and Yields

LPA is on schedule with two new facilities at Parque Logistico Callao in Peru, totaling 440,000 square feet of GLA, which are 92% pre-leased. Building 200 is expected to contribute $1.3 million in annual NOI starting Q3, and Building 400, $1.6 million starting Q4, both at attractive development yields of approximately 13%.

A fifth building is planned for the same park, with pre-leasing targeted for this year.

Mexico Growth Strategy and Nearshoring

The expansion in Mexico includes a programmatic purchase agreement for Central Park 57 Class A facilities, valued at $200 million over 12-18 months, focusing on stabilized assets. LPA aims to deploy capital at cap rates of 8-9%. The company emphasizes Mexico's role as a nearshoring destination, benefiting from supply chain reconfigurations and strong e-commerce trends, as well as the emerging demand from AI and data center infrastructure logistics.

Foundational Markets and Strategic Alliances

Despite the Mexico focus, LPA remains committed to its foundational markets of Peru, Colombia, and Costa Rica, where it is a market leader. The strategic alliance with FIBRA Prime in Peru, stemming from the Lima Sur divestment, allows LPA to manage and operate the park, generating fee income and exploring similar transactions.

The company also notes improved business sentiment in Peru and Colombia following recent elections.

Financial Management and G&A

General and administrative expenses decreased 8.7% to $4.2 million, and management expects G&A to remain relatively flat, leading to significant operating leverage as the platform scales, particularly in Mexico. The bulk of LPA's debt is property-level and does not mature significantly until 2031, providing financial stability. A $600,000 FX loss related to USD-denominated debt in Peru and Costa Rica was noted.

Investor Relations and Valuation

LPA is increasing investor outreach and participation in conferences, and has secured new equity coverage from BTG Pactual, Water Tower, and Sidoti, aiming to close the valuation gap between its share price and intrinsic asset value ($8.62 per share at Q2 end). Management views the Lima Sur sale premium as evidence of the underlying value of its assets and operating platform.
