  • Strong occupancies and increased average monthly rents, combined with contributions from acquisitions, drive 10.0% and 17.5% increase in revenues in third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively
  • Acquired 2,621 apartment suites and MHC sites year-to-date, strengthening and further diversifying property portfolio
  • Average monthly rents for residential properties up 3.1% compared to last year
  • Portfolio occupancy remains strong at 98.5%
  • NFFO up 11.0% in third quarter and 24.3% in first nine months of 2013
  • Strong accretive growth as NFFO per Unit up 1.1% in third quarter and 8.5% in first nine months of 2013 despite the 10% and 15% increase in the weighted average number of Units outstanding.
  • Same property NOI up 3.7% in third quarter and 4.8% through first nine months of 2013
  • Closed and committed mortgage refinancings (excluding acquisitions) for $487.8 million, including $282.6 million for renewals of existing mortgages and $205.2 million for additional top up financing with a weighted average term to maturity of 9.8 years, and at a weighted average rate of 3.15%.

"We continue to increase the size and scale of our property portfolio, having already exceeded our annual target of acquiring between 1,500 and 2,000 suites and sites this year. More importantly, with recent purchases in Dublin, Ireland and Prince Edward Island, we have entered new geographic markets, further diversifying our portfolio and enhancing our risk profile. And, with the very strong capitalization rates generated by these new acquisitions, they will be immediately and significantly accretive to our NFFO," commented Thomas Schwartz, President and CEO.

"Looking ahead, we are confident 2013 will be another record year for CAPREIT, and with further growth in our property portfolio, our solid presence in key targeted geographic regions, our ongoing industry-leading operating performance and continuing strong rental markets, we expect this progress to continue for years to come," Mr. Schwartz continued.

Operating Revenues

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, total operating revenues increased by 10.0% and 17.5%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year primarily due to the contribution from acquisitions, higher average monthly rents, and continuing strong occupancies. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, ancillary revenues, including parking, laundry and antenna income, rose by 15.2% and 22%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year, due to contributions from acquisitions and Management's continued focus on maximizing the revenue potential of its property portfolio.

CAPREIT's annualized net rental revenue run-rate as at September 30, 2013 increased to $463.0 million, up 9.8% from $421.5 million as at September 30, 2012 primarily due to acquisitions completed within the past twelve months and strong rental growth. Net rental revenue for the twelve months ended September 30, 2013 was $434.2 million (2012 - $372.7 million).

Average monthly rents for residential suites increased by 3.1% to $1,058 as at September 30, 2013 compared to the same period last year while occupancy remained strong at 98.4% due to ongoing successful sales and marketing strategies and continued strength in the residential rental sector in the majority of CAPREIT's regional markets. Average monthly rents for residential suites owned prior to September 30, 2012 increased as at September 30, 2013 to $1,057 from $1,026 as at September 30, 2012, an increase of 3.0% from the same period last year with occupancies rising to 98.5% from 98.1%. For the MHC land lease portfolio, average monthly rents increased to $451 as at September 30, 2013, compared to $435 as at September 30, 2012, with nearly full occupancy at 99.3%, up from 98.8% last year.

(1) Percentage of suites turned over or renewed during the period based on the total number of residential suites (excluding co-ownerships) held at the end of the period.

The lower rate of growth in average monthly rents on lease renewals during 2013 compared to the prior year is primarily due to the lower guideline increases for 2013 (Ontario - 2.5%, British Columbia - 3.8%), compared to the higher permitted guideline increases in 2012 (Ontario - 3.1%, British Columbia - 4.3%). Management continues to pursue Above Guideline Increases ("AGI") applications where it believes increases are supported by market conditions above the annual guideline to raise average monthly rents on lease renewals. For 2014, the permitted guideline increases in Ontario and British Columbia have been set at 0.8% and 2.2%, respectively.

Operating Expenses

Overall operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenues decreased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the same period last year as a result of lower realty taxes, utilities, and wage costs as a percentage of operating revenues.

Net Operating Income

In the three months ended September 30, 2013, NOI improved by $7.0 million or 10.7%, and the NOI margin increased to 60.7% from 60.3% for the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, NOI increased by $32.6 million or 18.6%, and the NOI margin improved to 58.9% from 58.4% for the same period last year. The significant improvements in NOI were primarily the result of acquisitions completed in the last 12 month period, combined with the higher operating revenues.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, operating revenues for stabilized suites and sites increased 3.2% and 3.0% while, operating expenses decreased 2.4% and 0.5%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. As a result, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, stabilized NOI increased by 3.7% and 4.8%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year.

Financial Strength

Management believes CAPREIT's strong balance sheet and liquidity position will enable it to continue to take advantage of acquisition and property capital investment opportunities over the long term.

CAPREIT is achieving its financing goals as demonstrated by the following key indicators:

  • The ratio of total debt to gross book value as at September 30, 2013 improved to 49.42% compared to 50.97% for the same period last year;
  • Debt service and interest coverage ratios for the four quarters ended September 30, 2013 improved to 1.55 times and 2.61 times compared to 1.49 times and 2.46 times, respectively, for the same period last year;
  • As at September 30, 2013, 92.0% (September 30, 2012 - 93.1%) of CAPREIT's mortgage portfolio was insured by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation ("CMHC"), excluding the mortgages on CAPREIT's MHC land lease sites and Ireland portfolio, resulting in improved spreads on mortgages and overall lower interest costs than conventional mortgages.
  • The effective portfolio weighted average interest rate on mortgages has steadily declined from 4.03% as at September 30, 2012, to 3.79% as at September 30, 2013, resulting in significant interest rate savings in future years;
  • Management expects to raise between $575 million and $625 million in total mortgage renewals and refinancings in 2013;
  • The weighted average term to maturity of the mortgage portfolio has improved from 5.3 year to 5.8 years as at September 30, 2013;
  • As at September 30, 2013, CAPREIT has investment properties with a fair value of $140.5 million that are not encumbered by mortgages and secure only the Acquisition and Operating Facility;

Property Capital Investment Plan

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, CAPREIT made property capital investments (excluding disposed properties, head office assets, tenant improvements and signage) of $101.5 million as compared to $80.8 million for the same period last year. For the full 2013 year, CAPREIT expects to complete property capital investments of approximately $160 million to $170 million, including approximately $69 million targeted at acquisitions completed since January 1, 2011 and approximately $13 million in high-efficiency boilers and other energy-saving initiatives.

Property capital investments include suite improvements, common areas and equipment, which generally tend to increase NOI more quickly. CAPREIT continues to invest in energy-saving initiatives, including boilers, energy-efficient lighting systems, and water-saving programs, which permit CAPREIT to mitigate potentially higher increases in utility and R&M costs and significantly improve overall portfolio NOI.

Subsequent Events

On September 18, 2013, CAPREIT announced it had agreed to sell, subject to regulatory approval, 6,327,000 Units for $20.55 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $130.0 million on a bought-deal basis with an over-allotment option. The transaction closed on October 10, 2013, and under the over-allotment option, 949,050 additional Units were also issued on October 22, 2013 for aggregate gross proceeds of $19.5 million. CAPREIT used the net proceeds of the offering to repay a part of its borrowings under its Acquisition and Operating Facility.

On October 22, 2013, CAPREIT announced the acquisition of a portfolio of 240 residential suites and 500 land lease sites in four communities located in Charlottetown and Cornwall, Prince Edward Island. CAPREIT paid approximately $34.9 million for the portfolio, satisfied by the assumption of mortgage debt of approximately $10.3 million bearing a weighted average interest rate of 4.5%, with the balance in cash from CAPREIT's Acquisition and Operating credit facility.

As at November 5, 2013, CAPREIT is committed under a purchase agreement to acquire a portfolio of manufactured home communities in New Brunswick for approximately $69.3 million expected to be satisfied initially through CAPREIT's Acquisition and Operating credit facility and finally through new CMHC-insured financings on properties which are currently unencumbered.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

CAPREIT prepares and releases unaudited quarterly and audited consolidated annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. In this and other earnings releases and investor conference calls, as a complement to results provided in accordance with IFRS, CAPREIT also discloses and discusses certain non-IFRS financial measures, including Net Rental Revenue Run-Rate, NOI, FFO, NFFO and applicable per Unit amounts and payout ratios. These non-IFRS measures are further defined and discussed in the MD&A released on November 5, 2013, which should be read in conjunction with this press release. Since Net Rental Revenue Run-Rate, NOI, FFO and NFFO are not determined by IFRS, they may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other issuers. CAPREIT has presented such non-IFRS measures as Management believes these non-IFRS measures are relevant measures of the ability of CAPREIT to earn and distribute cash returns to Unitholders and to evaluate CAPREIT's performance. A reconciliation of Net Income and such non-IFRS measures including Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") is included in this press release. These non-IFRS measures should not be construed as alternatives to net income (loss) or cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of CAPREIT's performance.
