These amounts are estimates and are based on management’s current expectations. Amounts are subject to change and Vesta undertakes
no responsibility to update this outlook. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of expected NOI margin and expected
Adjusted EBITDA margin which are forward-looking non-IFRS measures, because the Company cannot reliably predict certain of their necessary
components, such as gain on revaluation of investment property, exchange gain (loss) – net, or gain on sale of investment property,
among others.

| · | Fourth quarter 2023 revenue reached US$ 55.9 million; a 17.9% year on year
increase from US$ 47.4 million in the fourth quarter 2022, primarily due to US$ 8.3 million in new revenue-generating contracts and a
US$ 1.9 million inflationary benefit on fourth quarter 2023 results. Fourth quarter 2023 Adjusted NOI and EBITDA margins reached 98.1%
and 81.7%, respectively. |
| · | Fourth quarter 2023 Adjusted Net Operating Income (Adjusted NOI) 4
increased 19.7% to US$ 53.0 million, compared to US$ 44.3 million in the fourth
quarter 2022. The fourth quarter 2023 Adjusted NOI margin was 98.1%; a 220-basis-point year on year increase due to lower property-related
costs. |
| · | Fourth quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA 5
increased 12.0% to US$ 44.1 million, as compared to US$ 39.4 million in the fourth
quarter 2022. The Adjusted EBITDA margin was 81.7%; a 365-basis-point decrease primarily due to the peso appreciation relative to the
same period last year, which in turn impacted Vesta´s employee’s benefits, auditing, legal and consulting expenses. |
| · | Fourth quarter 2023 Vesta funds from operations (Vesta FFO) increased by 20.0%
to US$ 32.6 million, from US$ 27.2 million in 2022. Vesta FFO per share was US$ 0.0384 for the fourth quarter 2023 compared with US$ 0.0395
for the same period in 2022; a 2.7% decrease resulting from the Company’s December 2023 follow-on issuance. Fourth quarter 2023
Vesta FFO excluding current tax expense was US$ 14.4 million compared to US$ 13.2 million in the fourth quarter 2022, due to higher profit
with a lower interest expense in the fourth quarter 2023 relative to the same period in 2022. |
| · | Fourth quarter 2023 total comprehensive gain was US$ 112.3 million, versus
US$ 84.6 million in the fourth quarter 2022. This increase was primarily due to increased revenues, higher gain on the revaluation of
investment properties and a positive effect from income tax gain for the fourth quarter 2023. |
| · | The total value of Vesta’s investment property portfolio was US$ 3.2
billion as of December 31, 2023; a 17.3% increase compared to US$ 2.7 billion at the end of December 31, 2022. |

Letter from the CEO
2023: A Year of Growth, Execution, Milestones
and Discipline
2023 was a year of tremendous opportunity and growth
for Vesta. The dynamic landscape underscored the value of agile adaptability and quick decision making in light of transformative geopolitical
shifts and monetary policy actions that are keeping inflation anchored. Climate change risk, and the impact of Artificial Intelligence
(AI) on human progress, are also forcing solutions through innovation.
While China has taken a back seat in the global
economy- facing U.S. sanctions, rising wages and supply chain challenges- Mexico has evolved into higher-value processes, attracting new
capital inflows to our country and continuing to profit from the nearshoring trend. And for the first time ever, Mexico’s exports
to the U.S. have surpassed those from China.
Vesta has also demonstrated the importance of well-planned
strategy, long-term vision, strong corporate governance, and stakeholder trust. We proudly secured access to the world’s most relevant
capital market in 2023 by raising almost $600 million dollars through the NYSE IPO of Vesta ADSs, and a follow-on shortly after, enabling
investors to continue investing in the nearshoring trend.
Strong fundamentals reflect a market where demand
for premium Industrial Real Estate and truly outstanding asset quality continues to surpass supply, driving occupancy and rent increases
to record highs- also with expanding renewal spreads. Vesta ended the year with sustained strength: 2023 leasing activity reached almost
8.0 million square feet, 4.5 million square feet of which resulted from new leases and re-leasing- a record high for our Company- with
multinational clients such as Tesla, Eaton, Foxconn and BRP, among others. 3.4 million of our 2023 leasing was in renewals and weighted
average re-leasing spreads reached 6.5% with some markets, particularly in northern Mexico, achieving re-leasing spreads of over 20%.
Close client relationships and deep local experience
provides us with a unique and privileged ability to anticipate opportunities to drive Vesta’s development pipeline, supported by
a strong balance sheet. In 2023 Vesta delivered almost 4.0 million square feet in new buildings, began construction on 3.2 million square
feet and completed an opportunistic acquisition of 81 thousand square feet in Toluca, within the State of Mexico, aligned with our Level
3 growth plan, presented in June, to reach almost 50.0 million square feet by 2025. Our investment process is disciplined and based on
twenty-five years of experience in the market, strategically allocating capital to the markets that matter most. We ended the fourth quarter
with a total development pipeline of 3.1 million sf at an expected investment of US$ 267.1 million and an average cap rate of 9.8%.
We continue selectively and strategically executing
Vesta’s asset recycling strategy, also aligned with our Level 3 strategy. Vesta sold a 313 thousand square foot building in Tijuana,
Baja California for US $37.0 million during the fourth quarter, which reflects a 6.5% cap rate over market rent and 4.0% cap rate over
in-place rent. We also sold 8.5 hectares of land in Aguascalientes for US$ 5.1 million during the quarter.
| |
| 5 |
Finally, Vesta again delivered exceptional financial
results, with 2023 revenues increasing more than 20% to US$ 215 million and Adjusted NOI and EBITDA margins of 94.6% and 82.0%, respectively.
Full Year 2023 Vesta FFO reached US$ 127.9 million, a 23.6% year on year increase. And we invested more than US$ 263 million in innovative,
best-in-class projects throughout the year.
Vesta’s dynamism and agility is part of our
deeply ingrained corporate culture of turning barriers into opportunities and focusing on our goal, not on obstacles. We continue to strengthen
our business model and the operating and technology models that enable it.
Moreover, Vesta will continue successfully executing
in a dynamic market backdrop, focusing on the most relevant markets and developing state-of-the-art buildings for a diversified portfolio
of high-profile clients. Our strong presence on the ground positions us to continue delivering exceptional results, focusing only on strategic
and profitable growth.
As we embark on the year ahead, I’d like
to note that 2024 is the final year of what has shown to be strong execution on our Level 3 strategy. We look forward to presenting our
plan for the next phase of our journey, and continued evolution, at our 2024 Vesta Day. The team is committed to further value creation
for all our Vesta stakeholders.
Thank you for your continued support,
Lorenzo D. Berho
CEO

Vesta’s fourth quarter total revenues increased
17.9% to US$ 55.9 million in the fourth quarter 2023, from US$ 47.4 million in the fourth quarter 2022. The US$ 8.5 million rental revenue
increase was primarily due to: [i] a US$ 8.3 million, or 17.4%, increase from space rented in the fourth quarter of 2023 which had previously
been vacant in the fourth quarter of 2022; [ii] a US$ 1.9 million, or 4.1%, increase related to inflationary adjustments on rented property
in the fourth quarter of 2023; [iii] a U$ 0.7 million, or 1.4%, increase in energy income, from charges to tenants for their energy use;
[iv] a US$ 0.6 million, or 1.3%, increase in rental income due to the conversion of peso-denominated rental income into US dollars; [v]
a US$ 0.1 million management fee increase related to tenant improvements (TIs) to Vesta developments.
Vesta’s fourth quarter 2023 rental revenue
results were partially offset by: [i] a US$ 2.5 million, or 5.2%, decrease related to lease agreements which expired and were not renewed
during the fourth quarter 2023; [ii] a US$ 0.5 million, or 1.0%, decrease in other income which represents reimbursements for expenses
paid
| |
| 7 |
by Vesta on behalf of clients but not considered to be rental revenue; and [iii] US$ 0.1 million, or 0.3% from properties sold during
the fourth quarter.
87.8% of Vesta’s fourth quarter 2023 rental
revenues were US dollar denominated and indexed to the US Consumer Price Index (CPI), an increase from 87.2% in the fourth quarter 2022.
Contracts denominated in pesos are adjusted annually based on the equivalent Mexican Consumer Price Index, the “Indice Nacional
de Precios al Consumidor” (INPC).
Property Operating Costs
Vesta’s fourth quarter 2023 total operating
costs reached US$ 4.9 million, compared to US$ 3.8 million in the fourth quarter 2022; a US$ 1.1 million, or 29.6%, increase due to increased
costs related to both rental income generating and non-rental income generating properties.
During the fourth quarter 2023, costs related to
investment properties generating rental revenues amounted to US$ 3.2 million, compared to US$ 2.8 million for the same period in 2022.
This was primarily attributable to an increase in costs related to energy which increase to US$ 2.1 million in fourth quarter 2023, from
US$ 0.9 million in fourth quarter 2022; while other costs related to properties decrease to US$ 1.0 million in fourth quarter, from US$
1.9 million in fourth quarter 2022.
Costs from investment properties which did not
generate rental revenues during the fourth quarter 2023 increased to US$ 1.7 million, from US$ 0.9 million for the same period of 2022.
This was primarily due to an increase in real estate taxes, maintenance and other property related expenses such as general administrative
services for the Vesta Parks.
Adjusted Net Operating Income (Adjusted
NOI) 6
Fourth quarter Adjusted Net Operating Income increased
19.4% to US$ 53.0 million year on year with a 220-basis-point NOI margin increase, to 98.1%, resulting from higher rental income and lower
costs associated with rental income generating properties excluding both income and costs related to energy.

Fourth quarter 2023 administrative expenses totaled
US$ 8.8 million, compared to US$ 5.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022: a 58.3% increase. The increase is due to the peso appreciation
relative to the same period last year, which in turn impacted Vesta´s employee’s benefits, auditing, legal and consulting
expenses, as well an increase in Vesta’s stock-based compensation during the fourth quarter of 2023.
The expense related to the share-based payment
of Vesta’s compensation plan amounted to US$ 1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. For more detailed information on Vesta’s
expenses, please see Note 21 within the Company’s Financial Statements.
Depreciation
Depreciation during the fourth quarter of 2023
was US$ 0.6 million, compared to US$ 0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. This was related to office space and office equipment
depreciation during the quarter and the amortization of Vesta´s operating systems.
Adjusted EBITDA 7
Fourth quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA increased 12.0%
to US$ 44.1 million, from US$ 39.4 million in the fourth quarter 2022, while the EBITDA margin decreased 365-basis-points to 81.7%, as
compared to 85.4% for the same period of last year. This decrease was due to higher costs and expenses during the fourth quarter.

Fourth quarter 2023 interest
income increased to US$ 3.9 million year on year, from US$ 1.1 million in fourth quarter 2022, due to a higher cash position resulting
from the Company's equity raise and follow-on, as well as higher interest rates during the quarter.
Fourth quarter 2023 other expense
resulted in a US$ 0.7 million loss due to the net result of the Company’s other accounting expenses.
Fourth quarter 2023 other net
income energy resulted in a US$ 0.4 million margin, this other net income includes energy provided to companies that are not clients of
Vesta.
Fourth quarter 2023 interest
expense decreased to US$ 11.6 million, from US$ 12.3 million for the same quarter in 2022, reflecting a lower debt balance.

2023 foreign exchange gain was US$ 2.7 million, compared to a US$ 2.3 million gain in fourth quarter 2022. This gain relates primarily
to sequential currency movement in Vesta’s dollar-denominated debt balance during fourth quarter 2023 within WTN, the Company’s
only subsidiary that uses the Mexican peso as its functional currency.
Vesta sold properties during
the fourth quarter 2023, resulting in a US$ 0.5 million loss due to the discrepancy between the properties’ valuation and the price
for which they were sold.
Fourth quarter 2023 valuation
of investment properties resulted in a US$ 63.9 million gain, compared to a US$ 45.7 million gain in the fourth quarter of 2022. This
year-on-year increase is driven by an increase in the portfolio and by increased market rents.

Income Tax Expense
Vesta reported a US$ 14.0 million income tax expense,
compared to a US$ 3.9 million income in the fourth quarter 2022. The fourth quarter 2023 current tax expense was US$ 18.2 million, compared
to a US$ 13.9
| |
| 10 |
million expense in fourth quarter 2022, an increase due to a higher exchange rate related current tax during fourth quarter
2023.
Deferred taxes primarily reflect: [i] the effect
on the Company’s balance sheet of the exchange rate used to convert taxable assets from Mexican pesos (including the monetary value
of Vesta’s investment properties and the amortized tax loss benefits ) into U.S. dollars at the end of the fourth quarter 2023 and
2022; [ii] the impact of an inflationary benefit on the tax base of the Company’s fiscal assets, in keeping with Mexican income
tax laws; and, [iii] the recognition of the fair value of investment properties for accounting purposes, as tax assessed on these assets
is based on their historical cost which is then appreciated.
Fourth Quarter 2023 Profit
Due to the above, the Company’s fourth quarter 2023 profit was
US$ 113.8 million, compared to US$ 78.7 million profit in the fourth quarter 2022.
Total Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the Period
Vesta closed the fourth quarter 2023 with US$ 112.3
million in total comprehensive income gain, compared to a US$ 84.6 million gain at the end of the fourth quarter of 2022, due to the above
factors. This comprehensive income was partially offset by a US$ 1.6 million comprehensive loss in exchange differences on translating
other functional currency operations.

Revenues increased 20.5% to US$ 214.5 million for
the year 2023, compared to US$ 178.0 million in 2022, while operating costs increased to US$ 18.2 million, or 59.7%, compared to US$ 11.4
million in 2022, due to the increase in expenses related to those properties which generate income as well as those which did not generate
rental income. Adjusted Net operating income for 2023 was US$ 201.2 million compared to US$ 168.7 million in the same period of 2022.

At the close of December 31, 2023, general and
administrative expenses increased by 31.3% to US$ 30.1 million in 2023, from US$ 23.0 million in 2022, primarily due to increased expenses
related to employee benefits, auditing, legal and consulting expenses and to Vesta´s stock-based compensation.
Total other income for the twelve months of 2023
was US$ 217.1 million, compared to US$ 149.7 million in the prior year. The result reflects an increase in interest income, exchange gain
and a gain on the revaluation of investment properties.
The Company’s profit before tax therefore
amounted to US$ 381.6 million for 2023.
Income tax for the twelve months ending December
31, 2023 resulted in a US$ 65.0 million expense, compared to US$ 48.2 million expense for the same period 2022. This year-on-year increase
was primarily due to a higher current tax during 2023.
Profit for 2023 was US$ 316.6 million, compared
to US$ 243.6 million in the same period of 2022, due to factors described above.
Vesta ended the twelve-month period ended December
31, 2023 with US$ 324.5 million in total comprehensive income, compared to US$ 252.5 million at the end of the twelve-months of 2022 period,
due to the factors previously described. This gain was partially increased by a US$ 7.9 million gain in exchange differences on translating
other functional currency operations.
Capex for the year 2023 reached US$ 263.1 million
and was related to investment property development.

Definitions / Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Change in Adjusted
EBITDA, NOI, Adjusted NOI and Vesta FFO calculation methodology
During the year ended December 31, 2023, our business
began to experience different effects associated with our tenants growing their operations in Mexico that among other impacts resulted
in increased energy consumption which we recognize as an energy income and energy cost during the period. Our management considered these
income and costs represent a business activity not actively managed by us and does not relate directly to our business operation and strategy;
therefore, we updated our policy to further adjust our Adjusted EBITDA, NOI, Adjusted NOI and Vesta FFO to exclude energy income and energy
costs.
We have applied the change in calculation methodology
retroactively. This change had an impact on Adjusted EBITDA, NOI, Adjusted NOI and Vesta FFO of $0.3 million, ($0.4) million and $0.0
million as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Reconciliation
of Adjusted EBITDA, NOI and Adjusted NOI
The table below sets forth a reconciliation of
Adjusted EBITDA, NOI and Adjusted NOI to profit for the year, the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, for each of the periods
indicated, as reported in the Company’s financial statements. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as the sum of profit for the year adjusted
by (a) total income tax expense (b) interest income, (c) other income, (d) other expense (e) finance costs, (f) exchange gain (loss) –
net, (g) gain on sale of investment property, (h) gain on revaluation of investment property, (i) depreciation, (j) stock-based compensation
expense (k) energy income and (l) energy costs during the relevant period. We calculate NOI as the sum of Adjusted EBITDA plus general
and administrative expenses, reversing the discrete depreciation expense impact in Adjusted EBITDA minus and stock-based compensation
expense during the relevant period. We calculate Adjusted NOI as the sum of NOI plus property operating costs related to properties that
did not generate rental income during the relevant period.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure recognized
under IFRS and does not purport to be an alternative to profit or total comprehensive income for the period as a measure of operating
performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be
a measure of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such
as interest payments and tax payments. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider
it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure and
evaluate the operating performance of our principal business (which consists of developing, leasing and managing industrial properties)
before our cost of capital and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure commonly used in our industry, and we present Adjusted
EBITDA to supplement investor understanding of our operating performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors and analysts
with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in tenant’s operation, capital structures, capital investment cycles
and fair value adjustments of related assets among otherwise comparable companies.
NOI or Adjusted NOI are not financial measures
recognized under IFRS and do not purport to be alternatives to profit for the period or total comprehensive income as measures of operating
performance. NOI and Adjusted NOI are supplemental industry reporting measures used to evaluate the performance of our investments in
real estate assets and our operating results. In addition, Adjusted NOI is a leading indicator of the trends related to NOI as we typically
have a strong development portfolio of “speculative buildings.” Under IAS 40, we have adopted the fair value model to measure
our investment property and, for that reason, our financial statements do not reflect depreciation nor amortization of our investment
properties, and therefore such items are not part of the calculations of NOI or Adjusted NOI. We believe that NOI is useful to investors
as a performance measure and that it provides useful information regarding our results of operations and financial condition because,
when compared across periods, it reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition
and development activity on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from profit for the year. For example,
interest expense is not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset and is often incurred at the corporate
level as opposed to the property level. Similarly, interest expense may be incurred at the property level even though the financing proceeds
may be used at the corporate level (e.g., used for other investment activity). As so defined, NOI and Adjusted NOI may not be comparable
to net operating income or similar measures reported by other real estate companies that define NOI or Adjusted NOI differently.

The table below also includes a reconciliation
of Adjusted EBITDA margin, NOI margin and Adjusted NOI margin to profit for the year, the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure,
for each of the periods indicated, as reported in the Company’s financial statements. We present margin ratios to rental income
plus management fees minus electricity income to compliment the understanding of our operating performance; measuring our profitability
compared to the revenues directly related to our business activities.

Reconciliation of FFO and Vesta FFO
The table below sets forth a
reconciliation of FFO and Vesta FFO to profit for the period, the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, for each of the periods
indicated, as reported in the Company’s financial statements. FFO is calculated as profit for the period, excluding: (i) gain on
sale of investment property and (ii) gain on revaluation of investment property. We calculate Vesta FFO as the sum of FFO, as adjusted
for the impact of exchange gain (loss) - net, other income – net, interest income, total income tax expense, depreciation and long-term
incentive plan and equity plus.
The Company believes that Vesta
FFO is useful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it excludes the effects of certain items which can create significant
earnings volatility, but which do not directly relate to our business operations. We believe Vesta FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating
performance between periods, while also providing a more meaningful predictor of future earnings potential. Additionally, since Vesta
FFO does not capture the level of capital expenditures per maintenance and improvements to maintain the operating performance of properties,
which has a material economic impact on operating results, we believe Vesta FFO’s usefulness as a measure of performance may be
limited.
Our computation of FFO and Vesta
FFO may not be comparable to FFO measures reported by other REITs or real estate companies that define or interpret the FFO definition
differently. FFO and Vesta FFO should not be considered as a substitute for net profit for the period attributable to our common shareholders.

Independent Auditor’s Report
to the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Corporación Inmobiliaria Vesta, S. A. B. de C. V. (in US dollars)
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Corporación
Inmobiliaria Vesta, S. A. B. de C. V. and Subsidiaries (the “Entity”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial
position as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated statements of profit and other comprehensive income (loss), consolidated
statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the
consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policies information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Entity as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 and its financial performance
and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with International Standards on
Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit
of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Entity in accordance with the International Ethics Standards
Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements that
are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Mexico, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our opinion.
Other Matters
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated
into English for the convenience of readers.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment,
were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context
of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these
matters. We have concluded that the following Key Audit Matter should be communicated in our report.
Investment properties
The Entity uses external appraisers in order to determine the fair value
for all investment properties. Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation (including property
under construction for such purposes). The Entity engaged third-party valuation firms to assist with the determination of the fair value
of investment properties. Fair values are determined using the discounted cash flows approach for the Entity’s land and buildings
and market approach for the Entity’s land reserves. Factors and assumptions considered, the majority of which are not directly observable
in the market, to estimate the fair value of our investment property, include discount rates, long-term net operating income, inflation
rates, absorption periods and market rents. The Entity performs these procedures on an annual basis. The Entity adds initial direct costs
incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset. The Entity records gains
and losses arising from the changes in the fair value determined by the third-party valuation firms in profit or loss in the period in
which they arise. We obtained an understanding and evaluated the Entity’s methodology for determining the fair value of investment
properties. We evaluated the Entity’s investment properties by performing detail procedures on the existence, by performing site
visits. We evaluated the Entity’s investment properties by performing detail procedures on the valuation, including, but not limited
to, the involvement of internal fair value specialists in the review of business and valuation assumptions and methodologies utilized
in the valuation models. We also held various discussions with accounting and operations management regarding certain business assumptions
utilized in the valuation models and, on a test basis, obtained audit support to substantiate the assumptions therein. We also tested
the design and implementation of management’s controls over investment properties. Based on the procedures performed, investment
properties appear reasonable in the context of the financial statements taken as a whole.
Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s
Report
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the annual report that the Entity will prepare pursuant to Article 33, Section I, Subsection
b) of the Fourth Title, First Chapter of the General Provisions Applicable to Issuers and other Participants in the Mexican Stock Exchange
and the Instructions attached to these provisions (the Provisions), but does not include the consolidated financial statements or our
auditor’s report thereon. As of the date of our auditor’s report, we have not yet obtained these documents and they will be
available only after the issuance of this Audit Report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover
the other information and we do not express any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements,
our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If
based on the work we have performed, we concluded that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to
report that fact. We have anything to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance
for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation
of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary
to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible
for assessing the Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Entity or to cease operations, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Entity’s
financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated
Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on
the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional
judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
| - | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than
for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal
control. |
| - | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Entity's internal
control. |
| - | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by management. |
| - | Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant
doubt on the Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required
to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures
are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Entity to cease to continue as a going concern. |
| - | Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves
fair presentation. |
| - | Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities
or business activities within the Entity to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. |
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal
control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that
we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters
that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we
determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and
are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report
because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Corporación Inmobiliaria Vesta, S. A.B. de C. V. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
(In US dollars)
Corporación Inmobiliaria Vesta, S. A. B. de C. V.
(“Vesta” or the “Entity”) is a corporation incorporated in Mexico. The address of its registered office and principal
place of business is Paseo de los Tamarindos 90, 28th floor, Mexico City.
Vesta and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Entity”)
are engaged in the development, acquisition and operation of industrial buildings and distribution facilities that are rented to corporations
in eleven states throughout Mexico.
On April 27, 2021, Vesta announced the favorable results
of its primary offering of common shares (equity issuance). The offering consisted in an equity offering of shares in Mexico through the
Mexican Stock Exchange with an international distribution. Vesta received gross income of $200,000,000 from this equity issuance. The
primary global offering considered 101,982,052 shares, and an over-allotment option of up to 15% calculated with respect to the number
of shares subject to the primary offering, that was 15,297,306 additional shares, an option that could be exercised by the underwriters
within the following 30 days to this date; such over-allotment was exercised by the underwriters on April 28, 2022 in a total of 14,797,307
shares for an amount of $29,215,419. The cost of such equity issuance was $6,019,970.
On May 13, 2021, Vesta offered $350,000,000 of Senior Notes,
Vesta ESG Global bond 35/8 05/31, with maturity on May 13, 2031. The notes will bear interest at a rate of 3.62% per annum. The cost of
such debt issuance was $7,746,222. On September 1, 2022, Vesta announced a new $200,000,000 sustainability linked revolving credit facility
with various financial institutions. As a part of such revolving credit, Vesta paid debt issuance costs in an amount of $1,339,606. As
of December 31, 2023 no amount has been borrowed yet.
As a result of the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19)
in Mexico and around the world, Vesta successfully maintained during 2020 the disciplined execution of strategies, which included rapidly
adapting to the current environment and providing temporary relief to clients supported by strong relationships and its strong knowledge
of the market. This allowed Vesta to quickly and timely identify emerging trends and seize new business opportunities. As part of negotiations
with clients during 2020, Vesta only granted deferral of leases payments for those tenants who met certain strict criteria, focusing that
decision on long-term growth. In total, there were 43 deferral agreements that represented approximately a $5.5 million operating lease
receivable, of which 84% were recovered during the second half of 2020 and 16% were recovered during 2021; agreements and payments have
been fulfilled. It is important to note that, as of September 30, 2021, 95% of Vesta's tenants had reached pre-crisis operating levels
and, at the end of the year, all are at normal levels. During 2021 Vesta did not grant additional deferrals to tenants. The economic trends
of the real estate market in Mexico, and specifically the industrial real estate market, were not materially affected by the pandemic.
See Note 8 “Investment Properties” for further details. Finally, from an internal point of view, Vesta continued with its
surveillance measures and cost reduction, review of contracts with non-essential third parties and constant monitoring of its performance.
On April 23, 2021, a mandatory federal decree was published
in Mexico where various labor and tax regulations were modified to generally prohibit the subcontracting of personnel and establish the
rules under which specialized services may be subcontracted. During 2021, the Entity completed all the necessary corporate actions to
approve the adjustments to the constitutive documents of the Entity and its subsidiaries, in order to adjust them to what it is established
in the current legal framework; likewise, it took all previous actions to implement the administrative changes necessary to fully comply
with the terms of the new legal framework on the beginning of its term; there was no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements as
of and for the period ended December 31, 2021 derived from these actions.
On September 1, 2022, Vesta announced a new $200,000,000
sustainability linked revolving credit facility with various financial institutions. As a part of such revolving credit, Vesta paid debt
issuance costs in an amount of $1,339,606. As of December 31, 2023 no amount has been borrowed yet.
On June 29, 2023, Vesta entered into an underwriting agreement
(the ‘‘Underwriting Agreement’’) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., BofA Securities, Inc. and Barclays Capital
Inc., as representative of the underwriters, relating to Vesta’s initial public offering (the ‘‘Offering’’)
of 125,000,000 Common Shares in the form of American Depositary Shares (the ‘‘ADS’’) each ADS representing 10
Common Shares of Vesta’s common stock (‘‘common stock’’), which included the exercise by the underwriters
in full of the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 18,750,000 shares of Vesta’s common stock, at an Offering price of
$31.00 US dollars per ADS.
The closing of the Offering for the ADS’s took place
on July 5, 2023, raising gross proceeds of approximately $445,625,000, which included 18,750,000 shares sold by Vesta upon the exercise
by the underwriters of the over-allotment option in full. Issuance expenses were approximately $22,950,000. Vesta intends to use the net
proceeds from the Offering to fund growth strategy including the acquisition of land or properties and related infrastructure investments,
and for the development of industrial buildings.
On December 7, 2023, Vesta entered into an underwriting
agreement (the ‘‘Follow-On Underwriting Agreement’’) with Morgan Stanley & CO, LLC, BofA Securities, Inc.
and Barclays Capital Inc., as representative of the underwriters, relating to Vesta’s sale of common shares (the ‘‘Follow-on
Offering’’) of 42,500,000 Common Shares in the form of ADS, each ADS representing 10 Common Shares of Vesta’s common
stock, at a Follow-on Offering price of $35.00 US dollars per ADS.
The closing of the Follow-on Offering for the ADS’s
took place on December 13, 2023, raising gross proceeds of approximately $148,750,000. Issuance expenses were approximately $4,746,000.
Vesta intends to use the net proceeds from the Follow-on Offering to fund growth strategy including the acquisition of land or properties
and related infrastructure investments, and for the development of industrial buildings.
| 2. | Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards |
New and amended IFRS Accounting Standards that are
effective for the current year
In the current year, the Entity has applied several amendments
to IFRS Accounting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that are mandatorily effective for an accounting
period that begins on or after January 1, 2023. Their adoption has not had any material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts reported
in these consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements
and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgments – Disclosure of accounting policies
|
Vesta has adopted the amendments to IAS 1 for the first time as of
January 1, 2023. The amendments change the requirements in IAS 1 with regard to disclosure of accounting policies. The amendments replace
all instances of the
term ‘significant accounting policies’
with ‘material accounting policy information’. Accounting policy information is material if, when considered together with
other information included in an entity’s financial statements, it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary
users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.
|
|
The supporting paragraphs in IAS 1 are
also amended to clarify that accounting policy information that relates to immaterial transactions, other events or conditions is immaterial
and need not be disclosed. Accounting policy information may be material because of the nature of the related transactions, other events
or conditions, even if the amounts are immaterial. However, not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions, other
events or conditions is itself material.
The IASB has also developed guidance
and examples to explain and demonstrate the application of the ‘four-step’ materiality process describer in IFRS Practice
Statement 2.
|
|
|
Amendments to
IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes
in Accounting Estimates and Errors – Definition of Accounting Estimates
|
Vesta has adopted the amendments to
IAS 8 for the first time as of January 1, 2023. The amendments replace the definition of a change in accounting estimates with a definition
of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject
to measurement uncertainty”. The definition of a change in accounting estimates was deleted.
|
|
|
IFRS 17 Insurance contracts (including the June 2020 and December 2021 Amendments to
IFRS 17) |
Vesta has adopted IFRS 17 and the related
amendments for the first time as of January 1, 2023. IFRS 17 establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation
and disclosure of insurance contracts and supersedes IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts.
IFRS 17 outlines a general model, which
is modified for insurance contracts with direct participation features, described as the variable fee approach. The general model is simplified
if certain criteria are met by measuring the liability for remaining coverage using the premium allocation approach. The general model
uses current assumptions to estimate the amount, timing and uncertainty of future cash flows and it explicitly measures the cost of that
uncertainty. It takes into account market interest rates and the impact of policyholders’ options and guarantees.
Vesta does not have any contracts that
meet the definition of an insurance contract under IFRS 17.
|
|
|
Amendments to
IAS 12 Income Taxes –Deferred
Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction
|
Vesta has adopted the amendments to
IAS 12- Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction for the first time as of January 1, 2023. The
amendments introduce a further exception from the initial recognition exemption. Under the amendments, an entity does not apply the initial
recognition exemption for transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. Depending on the applicable
tax law, equal taxable and deductible temporary differences may arise on initial recognition of an asset and liability in a transaction
that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.
Following the amendments to IAS 12,
an entity is required to recognize the related deferred tax asset and liability, with the recognition of any deferred tax asset being
subject to the recoverability criteria in IAS 12.
|
Amendments to
IAS 12 Income Taxes –International
Tax Reform –Pillar Two Model Rules
|
Vesta has adopted the amendments to
IAS 12- International Tax Reform- Pillar two model rules for the first time as of January 1, 2023. The IASB amends the scope of IAS 12
to clarify that the Standard applies to income taxes arising from tax law enacted or substantively enacted to implement the Pillar Two
model rules published by the OECD, including tax law that implements qualified domestic minimum top-up taxes described in those rules.
The amendments introduce a temporary
exception to the accounting requirements for deferred taxes in IAS 12, so that an entity would neither recognize nor disclose information
about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.
Following the amendments, an entity
is required to disclose that it has applied the exception and to disclose separately its current tax expense (income) related to Pillar
Two income taxes. As the Entity operates exclusively in Mexico, this Reform does not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.
|
|
|
New and revised IFRS Standards issued but not yet
effective for the current year
At the date of authorization of these consolidated financial
statements, the Entity has not applied the following new and amended IFRS Standards that have been issued but are not yet effective:
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 |
Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture |
|
|
Amendments to IAS 1 (1) |
Classification of liabilities as current or non-current and non-current liabilities with covenants. |
|
|
Amendments to IFRS 16 (1) |
Lease liability in a sale and leaseback |
|
|
Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 (1) |
Supplier Finance Arrangements |
|
|
Amendments to IAS 21 (2) |
Lack
of Exchangeability
|
|
|
| (1) | Effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2024 |
| (2) | Effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2025 |
Management does not expect the adoption of the aforementioned
standards to have a significant impact on the Entity's consolidated financial statements in future periods, except as indicated below:
Amendments to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
and IAS 28 Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures – Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate
or joint venture
The amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 deal with situations
where there is a sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. Specifically, the amendments state
that gains or losses resulting from the loss of control of a subsidiary that does not contain a business in a transactions with an associate
or a joint venture that is accounted for using the equity method, are recognized in the parent’s profit or loss only to the extent
of the unrelated investors’ interests in that associate or joint venture. Similarly, gains and losses resulting from the measurement
of investments retained in any former subsidiary (that has become an associate or a joint venture that is accounted for using the equity
method) to fair value are recognized in the former parent’s profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investors’
interests in the new associate or joint venture.
The effective date of the amendments has yet to be set
by the IASB; however, earlier application for the amendments is permitted. Vesta management anticipates that the application of these
amendments may have an impact on Vesta’s consolidated financial statements in future periods should such transactions arise.
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements
- Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current liabilities with covenants
The amendments to IAS 1 clarify that if an entity’s
right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to the entity complying with the required covenants only at a date subsequent to the
reporting period, the entity has a right to defer settlement of the liability even if it does not comply with those covenants at the end
of the reporting period.
The classification of a liability is unaffected by the
likelihood that the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting
period.
In addition, a requirement has been introduced to require
disclosure when a liability arising from a loan agreement is classified as non-current and the entity’s right to defer settlement
is contingent on compliance with future covenants within twelve months. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning
on or after January 1, 2024 and must be applied retrospectively. The Entity is currently assessing the impact the amendments will have
on current practice and whether existing loan agreements may require renegotiation.
Vesta management anticipates that the application of these
amendments may have an impact on the disclosures of the consolidated financial statements in future periods.
Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases – Lease liability
in a sale and leaseback
The amendment to IFRS 16 Leases specifies the requirements
that a seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does
not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains.
A seller-lessee applies the amendment to annual reporting
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Earlier application is permitted, and that fact must be disclosed.
The amendments are not expected to have a material impact
on the consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and
IFRS 7 Financial Statements: Disclosures – Supplier Finance Arrangements
The amendments specify disclosure requirements to assist
users of financial statements in understanding the effects of supplier finance arrangements on an entity’s liabilities, cash flows
and exposure to liquidity risk.
In these arrangements, one or more finance providers pay
amounts an entity owes to its suppliers. The entity agrees to settle those amounts with the finance providers according to the terms and
conditions of the arrangements.
The amendments require an entity to provide information
about the impact of supplier finance arrangements on liabilities and cash flows, including terms and conditions of those arrangements,
quantitative information on liabilities related to those arrangements as at the beginning and end of the reporting period and the type
and effect of non-cash changes in the carrying amounts of those arrangements. The information on those arrangements is required to be
aggregated unless the individual arrangements have dissimilar or unique terms and conditions. In the context of quantitative liquidity
risk disclosures required by IFRS 7, supplier finance arrangements are included as an example of other factors that might be relevant
to disclose.
The amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Early adoption is permitted but will need to be disclosed.
The amendments are not expected to have a material impact
on the consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 21 Effects of Changes in Foreign
Currency Rates – Lack of Exchangeability
The amendment specifies when an entity must evaluate if
a currency is exchangeable into another currency and when it is not and how an entity determines the exchange rate to apply when a currency
is not exchangeable and requires additional disclosures when a currency is not exchangeable with information that would enable users of
its financial statements to evaluate how a currency’s lack of exchangeability affects, or is expected to affect, its financial performance,
financial position and cash flow.
A currency is exchangeable into another currency when an
entity is able to exchange that currency for the other currency through markets or exchange mechanisms that create enforceable rights
and obligations without undue delay at the measurement date and for a specified currency.
A currency is not exchangeable into the other currency
if an entity can only obtain an insignificant amount of the other currency.
The amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2025. Early adoption is permitted but will need to be disclosed.
The amendments are not expected to have a material impact
on the consolidated financial statements.
| 3. | Material accounting policies |
| a. | Statement of compliance |
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared
on the historical cost basis except for investment properties and financial instruments that are measured at fair value at the end of
each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of
the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell
an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of
whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or
a liability, the Entity takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics
into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these
consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope
of IFRS 2, Share-based Payments.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value
measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable
and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
| • | Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
that the entity can access at the measurement date; |
| • | Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and |
| • | Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are
not based on observable market data. |
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared
by Management assuming that the Entity will continue to operate as a going concern.
During the first months of 2020, the infectious disease
COVID-19 caused by the coronavirus appeared and it was declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a Global Pandemic on March 11,
2020. Its expansion motivated a series of containment measures in the different geographies where the Entity operates and certain sanitary
measures have been taken by the Mexican authorities to stop the spread of this virus. Derived from the uncertainty and duration of this
pandemic, the Entity analyzed the considerations mentioned in Note 1.1 to determine if the assumption of continuing as a going concern
is applicable.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial
statements of Vesta and entities (including structured entities) controlled by Vesta and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the
Entity:
| • | Has power over the investee; |
| • | Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and |
| • | Has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. |
The Entity reassesses whether or not it controls an investee
if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Entity obtains
control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Entity loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary
acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit and other comprehensive income (loss) from
the date the Entity gains control or until the date when the Entity ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive
income are attributed to the owners of the Entity and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is
attributed to the owners of the Entity and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having
a deficit balance.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements
of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Entity’s accounting policies.
All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses
and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Entity are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized
in Vesta’s statement of financial position when the Entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially
measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial
liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from
the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable
to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit
or loss.
Classification of financial assets
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are
measured subsequently at amortized cost:
| • | The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash
flows; and |
| • | The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest on the principal amount outstanding. |
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are
measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI):
| • | The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling
the financial assets; and |
| • | The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest on the principal amount outstanding. |
By default, all other financial assets are measured subsequently
at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
Despite the foregoing, the Entity may make the following
irrevocable election / designation at initial recognition of a financial asset:
| • | The Entity may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in fair value of an equity investment in other comprehensive income
if certain criteria are met (see (iii) below); and |
| • | The Entity may irrevocably designate a debt investment that meets the amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria as measured at FVTPL if doing
so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch (see (iv) below). |
| (i) | Amortized cost and effective interest method |
The effective interest method is a method for calculating
the amortized cost of a debt instrument and for allocating interest income during the relevant period.
For financial assets that were not purchased or originated
by credit-impaired financial assets (for example, assets that are credit-impaired on initial recognition), the effective interest rate
is the rate that exactly discounts future cash inflows (including all commissions and points paid or received that form an integral part
of the effective interest rate, transaction costs, and other premiums or discounts), excluding expected credit losses, over the expected
life of the debt instrument or , if applicable, a shorter period, to the gross carrying amount of the debt instrument on initial recognition.
For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, a credit-adjusted effective interest rate is calculated by discounting estimated
future cash flows, including expected credit losses, at the amortized cost of the debt instrument on initial recognition.
The amortized cost of a financial asset is the amount at
which the financial asset is measured on initial recognition minus repayments of principal, plus the accumulated amortization using the
effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss. The gross book
value of a financial asset is the amortized cost of a financial asset before adjusting any provision for losses.
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest
effect for debt instruments subsequently measured at amortized cost and at fair value through other comprehensive income. For financial
assets purchased or originated other than financial assets with credit impairment, interest income is calculated by applying the effective
interest rate to the gross book value of a financial asset, except for financial assets that have subsequently suffered impairment of
credit (see below). For financial assets that have subsequently deteriorated credit, interest income is recognized by applying the effective
interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset. If in subsequent reporting periods the credit risk in the credit-impaired
financial instrument improves, so that the financial asset is no longer credit-impaired, interest income is recognized by applying the
effective interest rate to the gross book value of the financial asset.
Interest income is recognized as realized in the consolidated
statements of profit and other comprehensive income (loss) for the year.
Foreign exchange gains and losses
The book value of financial assets denominated in a foreign
currency is determined in that foreign currency and it is translated at the exchange rate at the end of each reporting period.
For financial assets measured at amortized cost that are
not part of a designated hedging relationship, exchange differences are recognized in exchange gain (loss)-net in the statement of profit
and other comprehensive income (loss).
Impairment of financial assets
The Entity recognizes lifetime expected
credit losses (“ECL”) for operating lease receivables.
The expected credit losses on these financial assets are
estimated using a provision matrix based on the Entity’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific
to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the
reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate.
| (i) | Measurement and recognition of expected credit losses |
The measurement of expected credit losses is a function
of the probability of default, the loss given the default (that is, the magnitude of the loss if there is a default), and the exposure
at default.
The evaluation of the probability of default and the default
loss is based on historical data adjusted for forward-looking information as described above. Regarding exposure to default, for financial
assets, this is represented by the gross book value of the assets on the reporting date; for financial guarantee contracts, the exposure
includes the amount established on the reporting date, along with any additional amount expected to be obtained in the future by default
date determined based on the historical trend, the Entity's understanding of the specific financial needs of the debtors, and other relevant
information for the future.
For financial assets, the expected credit loss is estimated
as the difference between all the contractual cash flows that are due to the Entity in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows
that the Entity expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate. For a lease receivable, the cash flows used to
determine the expected credit losses are consistent with the cash flows used in the measurement of the lease receivable in accordance
with IFRS 16 Leases.
The Entity recognizes an impairment loss or loss in the
result of all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their book value through a provision for losses account, except
investments in debt instruments that are measured at fair value at through other comprehensive income, for which the provision for losses
is recognized in other comprehensive and accumulated results in the investment revaluation reserve, and does not reduce the book value
of the financial asset in the statement of financial position.
Derecognition policy
The Entity derecognizes a financial asset only when the
contractual rights to the asset's cash flows expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards
of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Entity does not transfer or retain substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership
and continues to control the transferred asset, the Entity recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for
the amounts due. If the Entity retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Entity
continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a loan guaranteed by the income received.
Upon derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortized
cost, the difference between the asset's book value and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in income.
In addition, when an investment in a debt instrument classified as fair value through other comprehensive income is written off, the accumulated
gain or loss previously accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss. In contrast, in the derecognition
of an investment in a capital instrument that the Entity chose in the initial recognition to measure at fair value through other comprehensive
income, the accumulated gain or loss previously accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve is not reclassifies to profit or loss,
but is transferred to accumulated profit (deficit).
All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortized
cost using the effective interest method.
Financial liabilities measured subsequently at amortized
cost
Financial liabilities (including borrowings) that are not
(i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, (ii) held-for-trading, or (iii) designated as at FVTPL, are measured
subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating
the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is
the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and expenses paid or received that form an integral
part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability,
or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Entity derecognizes financial liabilities when, and
only when, the Entity’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the
financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.
When the Entity exchanges with the existing lender a debt
instrument in another with substantially different terms, that exchange is accounted for as an extinction of the original financial liability
and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, the Entity considers the substantial modification of the terms of an existing
liability or part of it as an extinction of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new liability. The terms are assumed
to be substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any
fees received and discounted using the original effective rate, is at least 10% different from the current discounted rate. Value of the
remaining cash flows of the original financial liability. If the modification is not material, the difference between: (1) the carrying
amount of the liability before the modification; and (2) the present value of the cash flows after the modification should be recognized
in profit or loss as the gain or loss from the modification within other gains and losses.

| (1) | At the end of fiscal year 2023 and 2022, the Entity began the construction of ten and six investment properties, respectively. The
amount represents the advances according to the construction contract, which will be paid settled during the first quarter of the following
year. |
| (2) | During the third quarter of 2022 the Entity acquired a land reserve and signed promissory agreements for a total of $8,256,912 to
be paid on quarterly installments of $91,744 starting March 2023 plus a final payment of $7,431,218 in June 2025; the long-term payable
portion as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 is $7,706,451 and $7,889,937, respectively. |
| g. | Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents consist mainly of bank deposits
in checking accounts and short-term investments, highly liquid and easily convertible into cash, maturing within three months as of their
acquisition date, which are subject to immaterial value change risks. Cash is carried at nominal value and cash equivalents are valued
at fair value; any fluctuations in value are recognized in interest income of the period. Cash equivalents are represented mainly by investments
in treasury certificates (CETES) and money market funds.
| h. | Restricted cash and security deposits |
Restricted cash represents cash and cash equivalents balances
held by the Entity that are only available for use under certain conditions pursuant to the long-term debt agreements entered into by
the Entity (as discussed in Note 12). These restrictions are classified according to their restriction period: less than 12 months and
over one year, considering the period of time in which such restrictions are fulfilled, whereby the short-term restricted cash balance
was classified within current assets under cash and cash equivalents and the long-term restricted cash was classified within security
deposits made.
During 2022, the Entity paid $7.5 million to Scotiabank
for the issuance of letters of credit for the National Control Energy Center (CENACE, for its acronym in Spanish) in connection to
the Aguascalientes and Querétaro projects, in exchange of a guarantee. This amount will be paid back to the Entity once the project
investment conditions are met.
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals
and/or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes). Investment properties are measured initially
at cost, including transaction costs. The Entity does not capitalize borrowing costs during the construction phase of investment properties.
Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair
value of investment properties are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
An investment property is derecognized upon sale or when
the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected to be received from such investment
property. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net sale proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset) is included in (loss) gain on sale of investment property in the period in which the property is derecognized.
Vesta, as a lessor, retains substantially all of the risks
and benefits of ownership of the investment properties and account for its leases as operating leases. Rental income from operating leases
is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging
an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Entity assesses whether a contract is or contains a
lease, at inception of the contract. The Entity recognizes a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all
lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less)
and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Entity recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line
basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits
from the leased assets are consumed.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present
value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate
cannot be readily determined, the Entity uses its incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement
of the lease liability comprise:
| • | Fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives; |
| • | Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date; |
| • | The amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; |
| • | The exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and |
| • | Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease. |
The lease liability is presented as a separate line in
the consolidated statement of financial position.
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing
the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount
to reflect the lease payments made.
Rights-of-use assets consist of the initial measurement
of the corresponding lease liability, the rental payments made on or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received
and any direct initial costs. Subsequent valuation is cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
If the Entity incurs an obligation arising from the costs
of dismantling and removing a leased asset, restoring the place in which it is located, or restoring the underlying asset to the condition
required by the terms and conditions of the lease, a provision measured in accordance with IAS 37 should be recognized. To the extent
that the costs are related to a rights of use asset, the costs are included in the related rights of use asset, unless such costs are
incurred to generate inventories.
Assets for rights of use are depreciated over the shorter
period between the lease period and the useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or
the cost of the asset for rights of use reflects that the Entity plans to exercise a purchase option, the asset for rights of use will
be depreciated over its useful life. Depreciation begins on the lease commencement date.
Assets for rights of use are presented as a separate concept
in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The Entity applies IAS 36 to determine whether a rights-of-use
asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in the 'Impairment of assets other than goodwill' policy.
Leases with variable income that do not depend on an index
or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and the asset for rights of use. The related payments are recognized
as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payments occurs and are included in the concept of “Other
expenses” in the consolidated statement of profits and other comprehensive Income (Loss).
As a practical expedient, IFRS 16 allows you not to separate
the non-lease components and instead account for any lease and its associated non-lease components as a single arrangement. The Entity
has not adopted this practical expedient. For contracts that contain lease components and one or more additional lease or non-lease components,
the Entity assigns the consideration of the contract to each lease component under the relative selling price method independent of the
lease component and aggregate stand-alone relative selling price for all non-lease components.
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of Vesta and
all of its subsidiaries except for WTN Desarrollos Inmobiliarios de México, S. de R. L. de C. V. (“WTN”), which considers
the Mexican peso to be their functional currency and is considered to be “foreign operations” under IFRS. However, Vesta and
its subsidiaries keep their accounting records in Mexican pesos. In preparing the financial statements of each individual entity, transactions
in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the exchange rates in effect on the dates
of each transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the exchange
rates in effect at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at
the exchange rates in effect on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical
cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in
profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements,
the assets and liabilities of WTN is translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect on the last business day of each
reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate
significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates in effect on the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences
arising, if any, are recorded in other comprehensive income.
Employee benefits for termination
Employee benefits for termination are recorded in the results
of the year in which they are incurred.
Short-term and other long-term employee benefits
A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees
in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount
of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee
benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.
Liabilities recognized in respect of other long-term employee
benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Entity in respect of services
provided by employees up to the reporting date.
Post-employment and other long-term employee benefits
Post-employment and other long-term
employee benefits, which are considered to be monetary items, include obligations for pension and retirement plans and seniority premiums.
In Mexico, the economic benefits from employee benefits and retirement pensions are granted to employees with 10 years of service
and minimum age of 60. In accordance with Mexican Labor Law, the Entity provides seniority premium benefits to its employees under certain
circumstances. These benefits consist of a one-time payment equivalent to 12 days wages for each year of service (at the employee’s
most recent salary, but not to exceed twice the legal minimum wage), payable to all employees with 15 or more years of service, as well
as to certain employees terminated involuntarily before the vesting of their seniority premium benefit.
For defined benefit retirement
plans and other long-term employee benefits, such as the Entity’s sponsored pension and retirement plans and seniority premiums,
the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the
end of each reporting period. All remeasurement effects of the Entity’s defined benefit obligation such as actuarial gains and losses
are recognized directly in Other comprehensive gain – Net of tax. The Entity presents service costs within general and administrative
expenses in the consolidated statement of profit and other comprehensive income (Loss). The Entity presents net interest cost within finance
costs in the consolidated statement of profit and other comprehensive income (Loss). The projected benefit obligation recognized in the
consolidated statement of financial position represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as of the end of each reporting
period.
Statutory employee profit sharing (“PTU”)
PTU is recorded in the results of the year in which it is
incurred and is presented in General and administrative expenses line item in the consolidated statement of profit and other comprehensive
income (loss).
As result of the recent changes to the Income Tax Law and
the Labor Law, as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, PTU is determined based on taxable income, according to Section I of Article 9
of the that Law and the Article 127 of the Labor Law.
Compensated
absences
The Entity creates a provision
for the costs of compensated absences, such as paid annual leave, which is recognized using the accrual method.
| m. | Share-based payment arrangements |
Share-based payment transactions of the Entity
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees are measured
at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. Details regarding the determination of the fair value of equity-settled
share-based transactions are set out in Note 21.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled
share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Entity’s estimate of equity instruments
that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Entity revises its estimate
of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in profit
or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity settled employee
benefits reserve.
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently
payable and deferred tax.
Current income tax (“ISR”) is recognized in
the results of the year in which is incurred.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for
the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in profit or loss because it excludes items of income or expense that are
taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Entity’s liability
for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
A provision is recognized for those matters for which the
tax determination is uncertain but it is considered probable that there will be a future outflow of funds to a tax authority. The provisions
are measured at the best estimate of the amount expected to become payable. The assessment is based on the judgement of tax professionals
within the Entity supported by previous experience in respect of such activities and in certain cases based on specialist independent
tax advice.
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation
of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally
recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which
those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference
arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither
the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises
from the initial recognition of goodwill.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed
at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available
to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the
tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax
laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets
reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Entity expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover
or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there
is an enforceable legal right that allows offsetting current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they are related to income
taxes collected by the same tax authority and the Entity has the right to intention to settle your current tax assets and liabilities
on a net basis.
| 3. | Current and deferred tax for the year |
Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss,
except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and
deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax
arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
Provisions are recognized when the Entity has a present
obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, when it is probable that the Entity will be required to settle the obligation,
and when a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate
of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties
associated with the obligation.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle
a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement
will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the term of the relevant lease. Energy income and Reimbursable building services arise from tenant leases and consists on the
recovery of certain operating expenses of the respective property. Such reimbursements are included in rental income in the consolidated
financial statements.
The Entity’s primary business is the acquisition,
development, and management of industrial and distribution center real estate. Vesta manages its operations on an aggregated, single segment
basis for purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions and, accordingly, has only one reporting and operating segment.
As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, all of our assets and operations are derived from assets located within Mexico.
| r. | Other income and Other expense |
Other income and other expenses consist of transactions
which substantially depart from our rental income from operating leases; these mainly include the income and expenses derived from the
charge and expense of energy consumption through the Entity’s infrastructure to non-tenant third-parties, insurance recoveries and
others.
Certain items in our consolidated statements of income and
other comprehensive income (loss) and certain tables in our footnotes for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 have been reclassified
to conform to the 2023 presentation.
| 4. | Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
In the application of the Entity’s accounting policies,
which are described in Note 3, management of the Entity is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on
an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects
only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Valuation of investment properties
As described in Note 8, the Entity uses external appraisers
in order to determine the fair value of its investment properties. Such appraisers use several valuation methodologies that include assumptions
that are not directly observable in the market to estimate the fair value of its investment properties. Note 8 provides detailed information
about the key assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of the investment properties.
In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability,
the Entity uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. Where Level 1 inputs are not available, the Entity engages third
party qualified valuation experts. The valuation committee works closely with the qualified external valuation experts to establish the
appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model. The Chief Financial Officer reports the valuation committee’s findings
to the board of directors of the Entity every quarter to explain the cause of fluctuations in the fair value of the assets and liabilities.
Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of various assets and liabilities are disclosed
in Note 8 and 19.
The Entity’s management believes that the chosen valuation
methodologies and assumptions used are appropriate in determining the fair value of the Entity’s investment properties.
| 5. | Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash |
For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows,
cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks, including restricted cash. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the reporting
period as shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows can be reconciled to the related items in the consolidated statements of financial
position as follows:

Restricted cash represents balances held by the Entity
that are only available for use under certain conditions pursuant to the loan agreements entered into by the Entity. Such conditions include
payment of monthly debt service fee and compliance with certain covenants set forth in the loan agreement. These restrictions are classified
according to their restriction period: less than 12 months and over one year, considering the period of time in which such restrictions
are fulfilled. Non-current restricted cash was classified within security deposits made in the accompanying consolidated statements of
financial position.
Non-cash transactions
The Entity
did not have additions to the right-of-use asset and lease liabilities during 2023. Additions to right of use assets during 2022 and 2021
of $635,956 and $1,144,662, respectively
were financed by new leases. Other non-cash investing activities related to
investment properties are included in Note 8.
Changes in liabilities arising from financing activities
not requiring cash relate to a decrease for the amortization of debt issuance costs for $1,971,555, $1,544,113 and $4,781,465 in 2023,
2022 and 2021, respectively and an increase for new lease liabilities for $635,956 and $1,144,662 in 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Unpaid dividends are included in Note 12.4.

Pursuant to the lease agreements, rental payments should
be received within 30 days following their due date; thereafter the payment is considered past due. As shown in the table above, 92%,
88%, and 92% of all operating lease receivables are current at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
All rental payments past due are monitored by the Entity;
for receivables outstanding from 30 to 90 days’ efforts are made to collect payment from the respective client. Operating lease
receivables outstanding for more than 30 days but less than 60 days represent 3%, 3% and 3% of
all operating lease receivables at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Operating lease receivables outstanding for more than
60 and less than 90 days represent 1%, 8%, and 3% of all operating lease receivable at December
31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. Operating lease receivables outstanding greater than 90 days represent 3%, 1%,
and 2% as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 one of the Entity’s
clients account for 45% or $4,525,100, 42% or $3,249,692 and 43% or $3,863,928, respectively, of the operating lease receivables balance.
The same client accounted for 5%, 6%, and 6% of the total rental income of Entity for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021,
respectively. No other client represented more than 10% of the Entity’s total rental income during the years ended December 31,
2023, 2022 and 2021.
Operating leases relate to non-cancellable lease agreements
over the investment properties owned by the Entity, which generally have terms ranging between 5 to 15 years, with options to extend the
term up to a total term of 20 years. Rents are customarily payable on a monthly basis, and are adjusted annually according to applicable
inflation indices (US and Mexican inflation indices). Security deposits are typically equal to one or two months’ rent. Obtaining
property insurance (third party liability) and operating maintenance are obligations of the tenants.
All lease agreements include a rescission clause that entitles
the Entity to collect all unpaid rents during the remaining term of the lease agreement in the event that the client defaults in its rental
payments, vacates the properties, terminates the lease agreement or enters into bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. All lease agreements
are classified as operating leases and do not include purchase options.

The Entity uses external appraisers in order to determine
the fair value for all of its investment properties. The external appraisers hold recognized and relevant professional qualifications
and have vast experience in the types of investment properties owned by the Entity. The external appraisers use valuation techniques such
as the discounted cash flows approach, replacement cost approach and income cap rate approach. The techniques used include assumptions,
the majority of which are not directly observable in the market, to estimate the fair value of the Entity’s investment property
such as discount rates, exit cap rates, long-term NOI, inflation rates, absorption periods and market rents.
The values, determined by the external appraisers annually,
are recognized as the fair value of the Entity’s investment property at the end of each reporting period. The appraisers use a discounted
cash flow approach to determine the fair value of land and buildings (using the expected net operating income (“NOI”) of the
investment property) and a market approach to determine the fair value of land reserves. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair
values are included in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive (loss) income in the period in which they
arise.
The Entity’s investment properties are located in
México and they are classified as Level 3 in the IFRS fair value hierarchy. The following table provides information about how
the fair values of the investment properties are determined (in particular, the valuation techniques and inputs used).

In Mexico, the methodology used to determine the discount
rate was the Yield or Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”), which includes a yield curve. In this case, the expected rates were
taken from a yield curve of the Federation Treasury Certificate (known in Mexico as CETES), because there is no deep market for high quality
corporate obligations in Mexican pesos.

Stockholders' equity, except restated common stock and tax-retained
earnings, will incur income tax payable by the Entity at the rate in effect at the time of its distribution. Any tax paid on such distribution

and the related estimated payments.
Dividends paid from tax profits generated from January 1,
2014 to residents in Mexico and to nonresident stockholders may be subject to an additional tax of up to 10%, which will be withheld by
the Entity.

a tax benefit was granted to individual taxpayers that are subjects to 10% withholding tax on dividends received from legal entities,
which come from earnings generated in 2014, 2015 and 2016, subject to compliance with specific requirements. The tax benefit consists
in a tax credit equivalent to 5% of the distributed dividend (applicable only to dividends distributed in 2020 and onwards). Such tax
credit will be credited only against the aforementioned 10% withholding tax.

The Entity manages its capital to ensure that the Entity
will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to partners through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.
The capital structure of the Entity consists of net debt
(total borrowings, including the current portion, as detailed in Note 10 offset by cash and bank balances) and equity of the Entity (comprising
issued capital, additional paid-in capital, retained earnings and other comprehensive income as detailed in Note 12). The Entity is not
subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
The Board reviews the capital structure of the Entity on
a regular basis. As part of this review, the Board considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital.
The leverage ratio at end of following reporting periods

adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognized, in
respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial
statements.
The Entity’s principal financial assets are bank balances,
cash equivalents and restricted cash as disclosed in Note 5 and operating lease receivables as disclosed in Note 7. The Entity’s
principal financial liability is long-term debt as disclosed in Note 10.
| 19.4 | Financial risk management objectives |
The Entity seeks to minimize the effects of market risk
(including fair value interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. The use of financial derivatives
is governed by the Entity’s policies approved by the board of directors. The Entity does not enter into or trade financial instruments,
including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
The Entity’s activities expose it primarily to the
financial risks of changes in interest rates (see 17.8 below) and foreign currency exchange rates (see 17.6 below). The Entity enters
into an interest rate swaps to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates.
Market risk exposures are measured using value-at-risk (VaR)
supplemented by sensitivity analysis.
| 19.6 | Foreign currency risk management |
The Entity is exposed to foreign exchange risk, primarily
with respect to the Mexican peso and to the US dollar in respect of one of its subsidiaries, whose functional currency is the Mexican
peso. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized monetary assets and liabilities.
The carrying amounts of the Entity’s foreign currency
denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period as well as the relevant exchange rates are as

| 19.7 | Foreign currency sensitivity analysis |
The following table details the Entity’s sensitivity
to a 10% appreciation or depreciation in the US Dollar against the Mexican peso. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign
currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in
foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their
translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit
or equity where the US dollar appreciates 10% against the relevant currency. For a 10% depreciation of the US dollar against the Mexican
peso, there would be a comparable impact on the profit or equity, and the balances below would be negative:

| 19.8 | Interest rate risk management |
The Entity minimizes its exposure to interest rate risk
by borrowing funds at fixed rates or entering into interest rate swap contracts where funds are borrowed at floating rates. This
minimizes interest rate risk together with the fact that properties owned by the Entity generate a fixed income in the form of rental
income which is indexed to inflation.
Interest rate swap contracts
Under interest rate swap contracts, the Entity agrees to
exchange the difference between fixed and floating rate interest amounts calculated on agreed notional principal amounts. Such contracts
enable the Entity to mitigate the risk of changing interest rates on the fair value of issued fixed rate debt and the cash flow exposures
on the issued variable rate debt. The fair value of interest rate swaps at the end of the reporting period is determined by discounting
the future cash flows using the curves at the end of the reporting period and the credit risk inherent in the contract. The average interest
rate is based on the outstanding balances at the end of the reporting period.
In May 2021, the interest rate swap contracts were cancelled
as related loans were paid.
| 19.9 | Credit risk management |
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default
on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Entity. The Entity has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy
counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Entity’s exposure and the credit ratings of
its counterparties are monitored, and the transactions consummated are entered into with approved counterparties. The Entity’s maximum
credit risk is the total of its financial assets included in its statement of financial position.
The Entity’s clients operate in a variety of industries.
Its real estate portfolio is primarily concentrated in the food and beverage, automotive, aerospace, medical, logistics and plastics industries.
The Entity’s exposure to these industries subjects it to the risk of economic downturns in such industrial sectors to a greater
extent than if its properties were more diversified across other industries.
| 19.10 | Liquidity risk management |
If the Entity is unable to raise additional debt or equity,
its results of operations could suffer. The Entity closely monitors the maturity of its liabilities and the cash needs of its operations.
It prepares and provides a detailed cash flow analysis on a quarterly basis and presents it to its board of directors. Decisions are made
to obtain new financing or limit cash investments in order to maintain a healthy projected cash balance.
The maturity of the long-term, its current portion and the
accrued interest at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

| 21.1 | Details of the share-based plans of the Entity |
Currently grants shares to its executives and employees
as follows:
| i. | A trust was established in 2018 by the resolution of the general ordinary stockholders meeting on January 6th, 2015, as the "20-20
Long Term Incentive Plan", this compensation plan was extended for the period 2021 to 2025, "Level 3 Long Term Incentive Plan",
by a resolution of the general ordinary stockholders meeting on March 13th, 2020. |
| ii. | The plan is share-based and is calculated by comparing Vesta's Total Relative Return, stock price appreciation, plus dividend payments
over the preceding three years with the same metric calculated for our peers. Under the plan, if Vesta is at the median of the group,
the grant would be equal to the expected share grant; if Vesta is the worst performer, there would be no grant, and if Vesta is the best
performer, the grant would be 150% of the expected share amount. In addition, for some executives, a portion of their short-term annual
cash bonus is granted as an additional stock bonus with an equity-plus premium of 20% additional shares. |
| iii. | The grant and the equity-plus are delivered to management over three years after the grant year, thus providing a solid executive
retention tool. The granted shares are deposited to a Trust that manages the shares' delivery to the employees as per the schedules described
above. |
| iv. | The Shareholder Assembly of January 2015 assembly approved 10.4 million shares for the Vesta Vision 2020 LTI plan. In March 2020,
the shareholder approved 13.8 million shares for the Level 3 LTI plan. |
