(All amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted) 

(Unaudited) 
  

	
	 1.  NATURE AND
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST


 Effective January 3, 2013, Granite Real Estate Inc. (“Granite Co.”) completed its conversion from a
corporate structure to a stapled unit real estate investment trust (“REIT”) structure. All of the common shares of Granite Co. were exchanged, on a one-for-one
basis, for stapled units, each of which consists of one unit of Granite Real Estate Investment Trust (“Granite REIT”) and one common share of Granite REIT Inc. (“Granite GP”). Granite REIT is an unincorporated, open-ended,
limited purpose trust established under and governed by the laws of the province of Ontario and created pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated September 28, 2012 and as subsequently amended on January 3, 2013 and December 20, 2017.
Granite GP was incorporated on September 28, 2012 under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Granite REIT, Granite GP and their subsidiaries (together “Granite” or the “Trust”) are carrying on the
business previously conducted by Granite Co. 
 The stapled units trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and on the New York Stock Exchange. The principal
office of Granite REIT is 77 King Street West, Suite 4010, P.O. Box 159, Toronto-Dominion Centre, Toronto, Ontario, M5K 1H1, Canada. The registered office of Granite GP is Suite 2600, Three Bentall Centre, 595 Burrard Street, P.O. Box 49314,
Vancouver, British Columbia, V7X 1L3, Canada. 
 The Trust is a Canadian-based REIT engaged in the acquisition, development, ownership and management
of logistics, warehouse and industrial properties in North America and Europe. 
 These condensed combined financial statements were approved by the
Board of Trustees of Granite REIT and Board of Directors of Granite GP on November 4, 2020. 
  

	
	 2.  SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES


  

	(a)	 Basis of Presentation and Statement of Compliance 



The condensed combined financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 have been prepared in accordance with
International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These interim condensed combined financial statements do not include all the
information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and should be read in conjunction with the Trust’s annual financial
statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019. 
  

	(b)	 Combined Financial Statements and Basis of Consolidation 



As a result of the REIT conversion described in note 1, the Trust does not have a single parent; however, each unit of Granite REIT and each share of
Granite GP trade as a single stapled unit and accordingly, Granite REIT and Granite GP have identical ownership. Therefore, these financial statements have been prepared on a combined basis whereby the assets, liabilities and results of Granite GP
and Granite REIT have been combined. The combined financial statements include the subsidiaries of Granite GP and Granite REIT. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated by Granite GP or Granite REIT from the date of acquisition, being the date on which
control is obtained. The subsidiaries continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Control exists 

  
 Granite REIT 2020 Third Quarter
Report    7 













 
when Granite GP or Granite REIT have power, exposure or rights to variable returns and the ability to use their power over the entity to affect the amount of returns it generates. 

All intercompany balances, income and expenses and unrealized gains and losses resulting from intercompany transactions are eliminated. 

 

	(c)	 Accounting Policies 



The condensed combined financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as were used for the Trust’s annual combined
financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019. 
  

	(d)	 Future Accounting Policy Changes 



As at September 30, 2020, there are no new accounting standards issued but not yet applicable to the condensed combined financial statements except
for the following: 
 Agenda Decision — IFRS 16, Leases 

In December 2019, the IFRS Interpretations Committee issued a final agenda decision in regards to the determination of the lease term for cancellable or
renewable leases under IFRS 16, Leases (the “Decision”) and whether the useful life of any non-removable leasehold improvements is limited to the lease term of the related lease. As of
September 30, 2020, the Trust completed the impact assessment and determined that there is no material impact from the adoption of this interpretation on its combined financial statements. 

 

	(e)	 COVID-19 Pandemic 



During the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, the coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”)
pandemic has resulted in governments across Granite’s operating markets enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social
distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity and capital markets have also experienced significant volatility and weakness during this time. Governments across the globe have
reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. Granite is continuing to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, liquidity and results
of operations. 
 During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020, there has not been any significant impact on Granite’s
operations, assets or liabilities as a result of COVID-19. Granite has received 100% of rents due in the third quarter of 2020 and 99.9% of October rents. Granite has not recognized any provisions for
uncollected rent at this time as it expects any outstanding rent to be received. Granite reviewed its future cash flow projections and the valuation of its properties considering the impacts of the COVID-19
pandemic during the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 and Granite does not expect, at this time, that COVID-19 will have a significant impact to the fair value of its investment property
portfolio. In addition, there have not been any significant fair value losses on investment properties recorded in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020. 

Granite continues to review its future cash flow projections and the valuation of its investment properties in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The carrying value of Granite’s investment properties reflects its best estimate for the highest and best use as at September 30, 2020 (note 4). The duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the potential for further waves of new infections in the markets where Granite operates that could lead to the reinstatement of emergency measures, cannot be predicted. As such, the length and
full scope of the economic 

  
 8    Granite REIT 2020 Third
Quarter Report 













 
impact of COVID-19 and other consequential changes it will have on Granite’s business and operations in the long-term cannot be forecasted with
certainty at this time. Certain aspects of Granite’s business and operations that could potentially be impacted include rental income, occupancy, capital expenditures, future demand for space and market rents, all of which ultimately impact the
underlying valuation of investment properties.

 The Trust determines the fair value of an income-producing property based upon, among other things, rental income from
current leases and assumptions about rental income from future leases reflecting market conditions and lease renewals at the applicable balance sheet dates, less future cash outflows in respect of such leases. Fair values are primarily determined by
discounting the expected future cash flows, generally over a term of 10 years, plus a terminal value based on the application of a capitalization rate to estimated year 11 cash flows. The fair values of properties under development are measured
using a discounted cash flow model, net of costs to complete, as of the balance sheet date. The Trust measures its investment properties using valuations prepared by management. The Trust does not measure its investment properties based on
valuations prepared by external appraisers but uses such external appraisals as data points, together with other external market information accumulated by management, in arriving at its own conclusions on values. Management uses valuation
assumptions such as discount rates, terminal capitalization rates and market rental rates applied in external appraisals or sourced from valuation experts; however, the Trust also uses its historical renewal experience with tenants, its direct
knowledge of the specialized nature of certain of Granite’s portfolio and tenant profile and its knowledge of the actual condition of the properties in making business judgments about lease renewal probabilities, renewal rents and capital
expenditures. There has been no change in the valuation methodology during the period. 
 Refer to note 2(e) for a discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Trust’s business and operations, including the valuation of investment properties.

	 5.  ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
AND DISPOSITIONS


 During the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, Granite disposed of two properties located in Canada. The
disposed properties consist of the following: 
  

									
	Property	  	Location	  	Date disposed	  	Sale price	 
	 201 Patillo Road
	  	Tecumseh, ON	  	September 14, 2020	  	$	17,000	
	 2032 First Street Louth
	  	St. Catharines, ON	  	September 14, 2020	  	 	6,500	
	 	  	 	  	 	  	$	23,500	

 During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020, Granite incurred $0.6 million (2019 —
$0.7 million) and $0.6 million (2019 — $2.0 million), respectively, of broker commissions and legal and advisory costs associated with the disposal or planned disposal of the assets held for sale which are included in the loss on sale of
investment properties on the condensed combined statements of net income. In connection with the disposal of a property in South Carolina in September 2018, on July 22, 2020, Granite settled the associated obligation in cash. Upon receipt of
the proceeds receivable (note 10) a resulting gain of $0.4 million was realized which is included in loss on sale of investment properties on the condensed combined statements of net income. 

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, Granite disposed of seven properties located in Canada and the United States for gross
proceeds totaling $56.9 million. The gross proceeds associated with four properties disposed of included a vendor take-back mortgage of $16.8 million (US$12.7 million) which was repaid on June 18, 2019. 

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no investment properties classified as assets held for sale. 

 

	
	
6.  NON-CURRENT ASSETS


 Construction Funds In Escrow 

On November 19, 2019, Granite acquired a developed property located at 1301 Chalk Hill Road, Dallas, Texas which had outstanding construction work.
Consequently, $20.5 million (US$15.5 million) of the purchase price was placed in escrow to pay for the remaining construction costs. The funds are released from escrow as the construction is completed. As at September 30, 2020,
$8.8 million (US$6.6 million) remained in escrow (December 31, 2019 — $16.8 million (US$12.9 million)). As construction is completed, the construction costs are capitalized to the cost of the investment property. During the nine month
period ended September 30, 2020, $8.6 million (US$6.3 million) was released from escrow and capitalized to the property (note 4).

 Other Receivable 
 On
July 22, 2020, the full amount of the proceeds receivable of $12.1 million (US$9.0 million) associated with the disposal of a property in South Carolina in September 2018 was received. The estimated sale price for the property in 2018 was
determined using an income approach that assumed a forecast consumer price index inflation factor at the date of disposition. Accordingly, the proceeds receivable was subject to change and was dependent upon the actual consumer price index inflation
factor as at December 31, 2019. As at December 31, 2019, the proceeds receivable was $11.7 million (US$9.0 million).

 On June 4, 2020, Granite REIT Holdings Limited Partnership (“Granite LP”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Granite, issued at par $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.062% Series 4

Quarter Report 













 
senior debentures due June 4, 2027 (the “2027 Debentures”). Interest on the 2027 Debentures is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 4 and December 4 of each year.
Deferred financing costs of $3.1 million were incurred in connection with the issuance of the 2027 Debentures and are recorded as a reduction against the principal owing. 

The 2027 Debentures are redeemable, in whole or in part, at Granite’s option at any time and from time to time, at a price equal to accrued and
unpaid interest plus the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Debentures to be redeemed; and (b) the Canada Yield Price. The Canada Yield Price means, in respect of a 2027 Debenture, a price equal to which, if the 2027
Debenture were to be issued at such price on the redemption date, would provide a yield thereon from the redemption date to its maturity date equal to 65.0 basis points above the yield that a non-callable
Government of Canada bond, trading at par, would carry if issued on the redemption date with a maturity date of June 4, 2027. Granite also has the option to redeem the 2027 Debentures at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest within 30 days
of the maturity date of June 4, 2027.

 On July 3, 2014, the Trust entered into a cross currency interest rate swap (the “2021 Cross Currency Interest
Rate Swap”) to exchange the 3.788% semi-annual interest payments from the debentures that mature in 2021 (the “2021 Debentures”) for Euro denominated payments at a 2.68% fixed interest rate. In addition, under the terms of the swap,
the Trust will pay principal proceeds of €171.9 million in exchange for which it will receive $250.0 million on July 5, 2021. 

On December 20, 2016, the Trust entered into a cross currency interest rate swap (the “2023 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap”) to
exchange the 3.873% semi-annual interest payments from the debentures that mature in 2023 (the “2023 Debentures”) for Euro denominated payments at a 2.43% fixed interest rate. In addition, under the terms of the swap, the Trust will pay
principal proceeds of €281.1 million in exchange for which it will receive $400.0 million on November 30, 2023. 

On September 24, 2019, in conjunction with a refinancing, the Trust entered into a new cross currency interest rate swap (the “2024 Cross
Currency Interest Rate Swap”) to exchange the 

  
 Granite REIT 2020 Third Quarter
Report    15 













 
LIBOR plus margin monthly interest payments from the term loan that matures in 2024 (the “2024 Term Loan”) for Euro denominated payments at a 0.522% fixed interest rate. In addition,
under the terms of the 2024 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap, Granite will pay principal proceeds of €168.2 million in exchange for which it will receive US$185.0 million on
December 19, 2024. 
 On November 27, 2019, also in conjunction with a refinancing, the Trust entered into a new cross currency interest rate
swap (the “2026 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap”) to exchange the CDOR plus margin monthly interest payments from the term loan that matures in 2026 (the “2026 Term Loan”) for Euro denominated payments at a 1.355% fixed
interest rate. In addition, under the terms of the swap, the Trust will pay principal proceeds of €205.5 million in exchange for which it will receive $300.0 million on
December 11, 2026. 
 On June 4, 2020, the Trust entered into a cross currency interest rate swap (the “2027 Cross Currency Interest
Rate Swap”) to exchange the $500.0 million proceeds and the 3.062% semi-annual interest payments from the 2027 Debentures for US$370.3 million and US dollar denominated interest payments at a 2.964% fixed interest rate. In addition,
under the terms of the swap, the Trust will pay principal proceeds of US$370.3 million in exchange for which it will receive $500.0 million on June 4, 2027. 

The cross currency interest rate swaps are designated as net investment hedges of the Trust’s investments in foreign operations. The effectiveness
of the hedges are assessed quarterly. Gains and losses associated with the effective portion of the hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020, the Trust has assessed the
net investment hedge associated with each cross currency interest rate swap, except for a portion of the 2024 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap, to be effective. With the refinancing of the 2024 Term Loan in 2019, the Trust has assessed only the
foreign exchange movements associated with the fair value change of the 2024 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap to be effective. Accordingly, the change in fair value relating to foreign exchange movements on the 2024 Cross Currency Interest Rate
Swap and the fair value gains or losses on all other cross currency interest rate swaps are recorded in other comprehensive income. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020, since there is no effective hedge for the
interest and other movements associated with the fair value change of the 2024 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap, a fair value gain of $1.4 million and a fair value loss of $5.7 million is recognized in fair value losses on financial
instruments, net (note 13(e)), respectively, in the condensed combined statements of net income. 
 The Trust has elected to record the differences
resulting from the lower interest rates associated with the cross currency interest rate swaps in the condensed combined statements of net income. 
  

	
	 9.  LEASE
OBLIGATIONS


 As at September 30, 2020, the Trust had leases for the use of office space, office and other equipment, and ground
leases for the land upon which four income-producing properties in Europe and Canada are situated. The Trust recognized these leases as right-of-use assets and recorded
related lease liability obligations. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, Granite recorded an additional right-of-use asset and related lease
obligation of $0.6 million for office space in the United States.

— 54,145 RSUs and 24,587 PSUs). Total restricted stapled units outstanding at September 30, 2020 include a total of 75,569 RSUs and 57,332 PSUs granted (2019 — 116,038 RSUs and 28,784 PSUs). 



The fair value of the outstanding RSUs was $3.6 million at September 30, 2020 and is based on the market price of the Trust’s stapled
unit. The fair value is adjusted for changes in the market price of the Trust’s stapled unit and recorded as a liability in the employee unit-based compensation payables (note 10). 

The fair value of the outstanding PSUs was $2.6 million at September 30, 2020 and is recorded as a liability in the employee unit-based
compensation payables (note 10). The fair value is calculated using the Monte-Carlo simulation model based on the assumptions below as well as a

	(b)	 Normal Course Issuer Bid 



On May 19, 2020, Granite announced the acceptance by the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) of Granite’s Notice of Intention to Make a
Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”). Pursuant to the NCIB, Granite proposes to purchase through the facilities of the TSX and any alternative trading system in Canada, from time to time and if considered advisable, up to an aggregate of
5,344,576 of Granite’s issued and outstanding stapled units. The NCIB commenced on May 21, 2020 and will conclude on the earlier of the date on which purchases under the bid have been completed and May 20, 2021. Pursuant to the
policies of the TSX, daily purchases made by Granite through the TSX may not exceed 58,842 stapled units, subject to certain exceptions. Granite had entered into an automatic securities purchase plan with a broker in order to facilitate repurchases
of the stapled units under the NCIB during specified blackout periods. Pursuant to a previous notice of intention to conduct a NCIB, Granite received approval from the TSX to purchase stapled units for the period May 21, 2019 to May 20,
2020. 
 During the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, Granite repurchased 490,952 stapled units (2019 — 700 stapled units) at an
average stapled unit cost of $50.95 for total consideration of $25.0 million (2019 — less than $0.1 million). The difference between the repurchase price and the average cost of the stapled units of $1.3 million (2019 — less than
$0.1 million) was recorded to contributed surplus.

	(5) 	 	 Balance includes current and non-current portions (note 8(b)).  



	(6) 	 	 Foreign exchange forward contracts included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. 



The fair values of the Trust’s construction funds in escrow, accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities and distributions payable approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively short periods to maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of the long-term receivable included in other assets approximates its carrying
amount as the receivable bears interest at rates comparable to current market rates. The fair value of the other receivable associated with proceeds from a 2018 property disposal approximates its carrying amount as the amount is revalued at each
reporting period. The fair values of the unsecured debentures are determined using quoted market prices. The fair values of the term loans approximate their carrying amounts as the term loans bear interest at rates comparable to the current market
rates. The fair values of the cross currency interest rate swaps and foreign exchange collars are determined using market inputs quoted by their counterparties. The fair value of the foreign exchange forward contracts approximate their carrying
values as the asset or liability is revalued at the reporting date. 

  
 26    Granite REIT 2020 Third
Quarter Report 













 The Trust periodically purchases foreign exchange collars and forward contracts to hedge specific
anticipated foreign currency transactions and to mitigate its foreign exchange exposure on its net cash flows. At September 30, 2020, the Trust held one outstanding foreign exchange forward contract (December 31, 2019 — seven contracts
outstanding). The foreign exchange forward contract represents one contract to sell €2.0 million and purchase US$2.2 million. For the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2020, the Trust recorded a net fair value loss of $0.2 million (2019 — net fair value gain of $1.9 million) and $0.2 million (2019 — net fair value gain of $0.1 million), respectively, related to outstanding
foreign exchange forward contracts (note 13(e)). At September 30, 2020, the Trust held 12 outstanding foreign exchange collar contracts (December 31, 2019 — nil) with a notional value of US$60.0 million and contracts the Trust to
sell US dollars and receive Canadian dollars if specific US dollar exchange rates relative to the Canadian dollar are met. The Trust also held nine outstanding foreign exchange collar contracts (December 31, 2019 — nil) with a notional value of
€18.0 million and contracts the Trust to sell Euros and receive Canadian dollars if specific Euro exchange rates relative to the Canadian dollar are met. For the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2020, the Trust recorded a net fair value loss of $0.2 million (2019 — nil) and a net fair value gain of $1.2 million (2019 — nil), related to the outstanding foreign exchange collar contracts (note
13(e)). The Trust did not employ hedge accounting for these financial instruments. 
  

	(b)	 Fair Value Hierarchy 



Fair value measurements are based on inputs of observable and unobservable market data that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or
liability. IFRS establishes a fair value hierarchy which is summarized below: 
  

	Level 1:	 Fair value determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.



  

	Level 2:	 Fair value determined using significant observable inputs, generally either quoted prices in active markets for
similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active. 


  

	Level 3:	 Fair value determined using significant unobservable inputs, such as pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar
techniques.

 For assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Trust determines whether transfers
between the levels of the fair value hierarchy have occurred by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. For the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, there were no transfers between the levels.

	(c)	 Risk Management 



Foreign exchange risk 
 As at
September 30, 2020, the Trust is exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily in respect of movements in the Euro and the US dollar. The Trust is structured such that its foreign operations are primarily conducted by entities with a functional
currency which is the same as the economic environment in which the operations take place. As a result, the net income impact of currency risk associated with financial instruments is limited as its financial assets and liabilities are generally
denominated in the functional currency of the subsidiary that holds the financial instrument. However, the Trust is exposed to foreign currency risk on its net investment in its foreign currency denominated operations and certain Trust level foreign
currency denominated assets and liabilities. At September 30, 2020, the Trust’s foreign currency denominated net assets are $4.2 billion primarily in US dollars and Euros. A 1% change in the US dollar and Euro exchange rates relative
to the Canadian dollar would result in a gain or loss of approximately $25.7 million and $15.3 million, respectively, to comprehensive income.

Report    35 














	
	 18. COMMITMENTS AND
CONTINGENCIES


 (a)    The Trust is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course
of business. Management evaluates all claims with the advice of legal counsel. Management believes these claims are generally covered by Granite’s insurance policies and that any liability from remaining claims is not probable to occur and
would not have a material adverse effect on the condensed combined financial statements. However, actual outcomes may differ from management’s expectations. 

(b)    As at September 30, 2020, the Trust’s contractual commitments totaled $65.9 million and comprised of
construction and development projects of $54.1 million and the remaining construction costs associated with the property in Tilburg, Netherlands acquired in July 2020 for $11.8 million
(€7.6 million) (note 3). 
 The Trust is involved, in the normal course of business, in
discussions, and has various letters of intent or conditional agreements, with respect to possible acquisitions of new properties and dispositions of existing properties in its portfolio. None of these commitments or contingencies, individually or
in aggregate, would have a material impact on the condensed combined financial statements. 
  

	
	 19. SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS


 (a)    On October 16, 2020, the Trust declared monthly distributions for October 2020 of
$14.0 million (note 11). 
 (b)    On October 23, 2020, the Trust disposed of one property located in Barcelona, Spain
for gross proceeds of $7.8 million (€5.0 million). 
 (c)    On
October 23, 2020, the Trust agreed to acquire an income-producing property located in Atlanta, Georgia, for approximately $107 million (US$80.3 million). The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close
in the fourth quarter of 2020.
