1 2017 TORONTO ICSC LAW CONFERENCE OPERATING EXPENSES WHAT SHOULD AND SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED LANDLORD & TENANT S PERSPECTIVES Jo-Anne Durand, Lawyer Riel & Associates Karine Aubé, Director, REM Legal Oxford Properties Group
2 2017 TORONTO ICSC LAW CONFERENCE Operating Expenses What should and should not be included Landlord & Tenant s perspectives Introduction In a commercial lease, parties seek to gain certainty as to costs and to assign the risk of those costs changing significantly, landlords to maximize profitability in the face of rising costs, and tenants to maintain expenses within the financial pro-forma model to maintain a profitable operation; The OPEX terms are one of the lease provisions most commonly scrutinized and negotiated between landlords and tenants as it will establish the basis upon which a landlord can invoice tenants in relation to the costs of operating and for services provided generally to tenants thereto; Importance of having a list large enough to cover as much costs as possible, but specific enough to : (i) make sure landlords have the right to recover such costs from time to time (known and unknown at lease execution); and (ii) reassure tenants they will not be surprised with unthinkable expenses; In this roundtable we will go over : I - General overview of certain concepts related to OPEX II - Examples of items of OPEX often negotiated between Landlords & Tenants with both perspectives III - Enough Talking!!! Schedule - Examples of OPEX inclusions and exclusions I General overview of certain concepts OPEX - o aggregate of all costs for a fiscal year, without duplication and without profit, incurred, allocated, attributed or charged by or on behalf of a landlord, whether or not paid, on either an accrual or cash basis, or in part on both, on account of the ownership, administration, operation, management, supervision, maintenance, repair, replacement, alteration and addition to a project (including common areas) and for services provided generally to tenants thereof. Common Areas - o portions of a project that from time to time are not intended to be leased to tenants of a project or designated by a landlord for use in common by landlord and tenants of such project, whether or not those areas are open to the general public or to all tenants of the project, which are not exclusive to any tenant of the project, such as parking facilities, public washrooms, pedestrian walkway system etc. Proportionate Share and Excluded Premiseso Ratio determining the share of a tenant s OPEX (numerator is GLA of premises and denominator is rentable GLA of a project) o Ex. of premises generally excluded from the GLA of a project : storage and offices (as principal use); free standing buildings apart from the main shopping centre building; premises having a GLA in excess of X square feet (Anchors/large non major tenants **item often negotiated);
3 full service sit-down restaurants and having a gross leasable area in excess of X (**item often negotiated) square feet; governmental or quasi-governmental agencies, Crown corporations or public institutions; kiosks; theatres, cinemas, auditoria, child care facilities, liquor stores, beer stores or entertainment, recreational or health establishments and facilities; basement or mezzanine levels of a project, or premises without mall frontage or premises not located on the level of the retail mall. Gross up as to vacancies o allows landlords to recover in whole costs incurred for items that vary with the occupancy of a project/centre, such as snow removal, maintenance costs of elevators etc.; o importance for tenants to ensure they would not pay more OPEX than if the project was 100% leased. Estimates and impacts o Importance for both tenants and landlords to provide estimates that are as close to real costs as possible to prevent unpleasant surprises; o Material differences might open the door to several questions/contestations from tenants and possibly litigation as to the understanding of the estimate. II - Examples of OPEX subject to negotiations between Landlords & Tenants with both perspectives Allocations - Issue is whether to fix the share or allow modifications upon several different variables. Landlord has several avenues to determine and allocate costs: o o Landlord's perspective - right to attribute at discretion. Important as well when you do not operate an enclosed mall. Ex. DIX30 is a lifestyle outdoor centre with several buildings, and there are common areas in each building which are solely to the benefit of the tenants of such building (ex. mechanical room, common portion of HVAC system etc.), so the concept of allocation is necessary; Tenant's perspective cost certainty is key, so important to set the share or at a minimum limit or clearly define possible changes or allocations and terms of the denominator of the premises of the project to be accounted for to share OPEX; OPEX contributions recovered from any excluded premises should also reduce OPEX that will be further paid by other tenants on a proportionate share basis; insert wording that allocations will be made by the landlord on a reasonable / equitable basis; ensure that after such allocations are made, the tenant will not pay more than what it would have paid based solely on a proportionate share basis. Tax on Capital - tax on the capital invested from time to time by a landlord, the owner(s) of the project/land, and any company related to landlords or owner(s). It was abolished a few years ago, but it remains a political topic and we wouldn t be surprised if such tax or a similar one would be implemented in the next years; 2
4 o Landlord s perspective : Such type of tax is a cost incurred to possess a property and is not an income tax, and therefore such tax is recoverable from tenants; as it is a specific tax, it must be clearly referred to in the OPEX definition for a landlord to charge it to tenants (as stated in case laws); not payable by all landlords (as it depends of the ownership structure of a property), but in the event of a sale of the project to a buyer that would be subject to such tax, or if the existing landlord becomes subject to same, landlords typically provide for the following : o Tenant s perspective : Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Lease, the Landlord represents to the Tenant that, as of the date of execution of the Lease, the Landlord is not required to pay Tax on Capital. Should the Landlord be required to pay Tax on Capital according to the applicable legislation, then the Tenant shall pay its Proportionate Share thereof. Such type of tax is closer to income tax (personal tax) than a realty tax, which is subject to financial manipulation by landlord as to amounts payable; try to cap the maximum contribution a tenant would have to pay; if not possible, try to require the lease to provide that in the establishment of such tax, a landlord shall consider the property as its sole asset on the territory on which said Tax on Capital is assessed, or a clear calculation methodology. Capital Costs / Major Repairs and Replacements These are ones of the most controversial expenses included in OPEX. But what are capital expenses? Amounts disbursed to acquire, replace, add or perform major repairs on a property and/or its equipment. Usually, these expenses add/create value (i.e. capital) and increase the useful life of a property/equipment. These are amortized over a certain number of fiscal periods rather than being included in the OPEX of one sole fiscal period. A useful hint in determining whether the cost is a capital cost is whether the cost is recurrent, in which case it would be an on-going maintenance expense, vs non-recurrent work to add value/increase the useful life of the property. Examples of Capital Costs include: - installation of new HVAC system; - cost of replacement of roof; - cost of replacement of sidewalks and repaving/resurfacing of a substantial portion or entirety of parking lot; - addition of a sprinkler system. o Landlord s perspective : Even tough it reduces the revenues and therefore the value of the property, landlords usually agree to exclude costs and expenses of a capital nature in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the real estate industry in Canada connection with the initial construction or any expansion of a project provided. However, landlords typically will look to tenant as to any new improvements, repairs or replacements to project that are of a capital nature (major repairs / replacement); 3
5 Despite such exclusion, regular maintenance program of structural components of the initial construction or expansion / capital repairs and replacements of a project will be included in OPEX (ex. new roof is excluded, but membrane replacement/inspection would be included); o Tenant s perspective : Base rental represents the landlord s return on capital investment. If the landlord must invest more capital to preserve or enhance its assets, that investment must be funded through existing base rental not as an operating expense. Base rent to be consideration paid for use of a fully completed, properly constructed building and any ongoing modifications to the asset should be to the account of the landlord. Many major tenants attempt to exclude capital costs altogether or as some will request that amortization relating to expenditure incurred prior to the lease commencement date the exclude. A compromised which could eliminate the complexity of determining whether an expense is capital in nature or not is to stipulate items costing in excess of a certain dollar amount to be deemed to be a capital cost and provide for either their exclusion or amortization With respect to amortization, tenants must beware of the period of amortization. In the case of an HVAC replacement, most tenants will not want to pay for a new HVAC unit in the last years if its lease term. o GAAP abolished in 2011 : GAAP was replaced by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in Make sure any reference to accounting principles used to determine the nature of an expense or the amortization period is not static as of date of execution of lease. The alternate reference we now see is a reference to accounting principles generally applied in the commercial real- estate industry. III Enough Talking! Be practical. Understand the issues and project, strip mall, enclosed mall, power centre, CRU, mixed use, new or old project; Is it material? Choose your battles. At the end of the day, it is all common sense. What leverage is there? Do not forget the ability of a tenant to negotiate OPEX is related to the circumstances/facts surrounding a transaction and particularly each party s negotiation power. Case by case basis!! Fix/Cap the OPEX: If tenant is not an Anchor/large non major tenant, don t even bother asking! If a Cap is accepted, important to exclude from the capped expenses those that vary beyond landlord s control (ex. Taxes, utilities, insurance, snow removal (Qc especially!)); Audits: If tenant is not an Anchor, don t even bother asking! However, let s not forget good faith obligations and even if a lease is silent, the parties should act reasonably in their requests and answers! 4
