Operating Revenues

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, total operating revenues increased by 4.1% and 3.7%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year primarily due to increased average monthly rents and higher occupancies in most regions and the contribution from acquisitions, though partially offset by dispositions in the same period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, ancillary revenues, such as parking, laundry and antenna income, rose by 14.7% and 18.2%, respectively, as Management continued its focus on maximizing the revenue potential of its property portfolio, which includes the impact of certain non-recurring settlements totaling $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

CAPREIT's annualized net rental revenue run-rate based on the average monthly rents in place on CAPREIT's share of residential suites and sites as at June 30, 2011 is $342.8 million, or 5.6% higher than $324.7 million as of June 30, 2010. Net rental revenue for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 was $327.6 million (2010 – $319.4 million).

Average monthly rents increased in all sectors and most geographic regions of the portfolio resulting in a 2.5% increase in overall average monthly rents as at June 30, 2011 to $982, compared to $958 as at June 30, 2010. Overall occupancy at June 30, 2011 improved to 98.4% from 98.0% in the prior year. The increases in average monthly rents and occupancy were due to ongoing successful sales and marketing strategies and continued strength in the residential rental sector in the majority of CAPREIT's regional markets.

Suite turnovers in the residential suite portfolio (excluding co-ownerships) resulted in increases in average monthly rents of $9 or 0.9% for both the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2011. Although the pace of increases in average monthly rents from suite turnovers has improved from the same periods last year, these increases were partially offset by the continued, adverse effect of rent discounting in the Alberta market for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 of approximately $3 or 0.3% per suite and $13 or 1.3% per suite, respectively. Excluding the impact of the Alberta portfolio, residential suite turnovers would have instead resulted in average monthly rent increases of $10 or 1% per suite in the second quarter and increases of $11 or 1.1% for the first six months of 2011.

Pursuant to Management's focus on increasing overall portfolio rents, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 average monthly rents on lease renewals increased by approximately $14 or 1.4% compared to $23 or 2.3% for the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, average monthly rents increased by $14 or 1.3% compared to $22 or 2.2% for the same period last year. The lower rate of growth in average monthly rents on lease renewals during the current year periods are due primarily to the Ontario guideline increase of 0.7% for 2011, significantly below the guideline increase for 2010 of 2.1%. Management is actively pursuing applications for above guideline increases to raise average monthly rents on lease renewals above the guideline increase. The 2012 Ontario rent control guideline for lease renewals was announced at 3.1%.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased for the three months ended June 30, 2011, to 41.1% from 40.8% last year, but decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to 43.5% from 44.2% last year.

The increase through the second quarter was primarily due to a significant increase in natural gas as a result of considerably higher consumption compared to the same period last year due to cooler weather earlier in the second quarter. However, the impact of the higher consumption was significantly mitigated by Management's successful energy-saving initiatives. The decrease through the first six months of 2011 was primarily due to the decrease in utility costs resulting from the natural gas supply strategy implemented last year, but partially offset by increases in repairs and maintenance ("R&M") costs as a result of a combination of the Harmonized Sales tax ("HST") and the integration of new properties.

Net Operating Income

Overall NOI improved in the current quarter by $1.8 million or 3.6% and the NOI margin decreased slightly to 58.9% compared to 59.2% in the prior year period due to the combination of higher revenues and higher overall operating costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, overall NOI increased by $4.7 million or 5.0%, while the NOI margin improved to 56.5% from 55.8% for the same period last year.

As of June 30, 2011, CAPREIT has generated 22 consecutive quarters of stable or improved year-over-year NOI growth for stabilized properties demonstrating Management's strong operating and financing strategies. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, operating revenues for stabilized suites and sites increased 3.1% and 3.3%, respectively, while operating costs also increased by 3.9% and 3.1%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. As a result, for the three and six months ended June 30 2011, stabilized NOI increased by a significant 2.5% and 3.5%, respectively.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
June 30, June 30,
2011 2010 2011 2010
NFFO (000s) $ 26,848 25,488 $ 49,400 $ 45,547
NFFO Per Unit – Basic $ 0.357 $ 0.383 $ 0.659 $ 0.685
Cash Distributions Per Unit $ 0.270 $ 0.270 $ 0.540 $ 0.540
NFFO Payout Ratio 78.1 % 73.3 % 84.7 % 82.0 %
NFFO Effective Payout Ratio 60.2 % 62.3 % 65.8 % 70.2 %

Normalized Funds From Operations

NFFO is not a financial measure determined by IFRS, however, it is used by CAPREIT to assess overall operating performance. NFFO, which substantially excludes from Funds From Operations ("FFO") the effect of the change in fair value of hedging instruments originally put in place for interest rate protection, losses incurred on the amendment of natural gas physical delivery contracts and the effect of certain non-recurring items, increased by 5.3% and 8.5%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods last year. The increase was primarily due to the contribution from acquisitions, higher average monthly rents and higher occupancy levels, resulting from Management's sales and marketing programs despite the negative effects of higher operating costs and a low permitted guideline increase on lease renewals in Ontario for 2011.

However, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, basic NFFO per Unit decreased by 6.8% and 3.8%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year as a result of the approximately 13% increase in the weighted average number of Units outstanding as a result of the 2010 equity offering. Management expects per Unit FFO and NFFO and related payout ratios to improve in the medium term as a result of NOI contribution from the recent acquisitions.

Comparing distributions declared to NFFO, the NFFO payout ratios for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 increased to 78.1% and 84.7%, respectively, compared to 73.3% and 82.0% for the same periods last year. The effective NFFO payout ratio, which compares net distributions paid to Unitholders to NFFO, improved significantly for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, to 60.2% and 65.8%, respectively, from 62.3% and 70.2% in the same periods last year, primarily due to the higher reinvestments of distributions under the Distribution Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP"). The average participation rate in the DRIP increased to 22.9% and 22.3%, respectively, for the three months and three and six months ended June 30, 2011 from 15.0% and 14.4% for the same periods last year.

(2) Based on the trailing four quarters ended June 30, 2011. Prior year comparative ratios have not be restated under IFRS and are therefore not presented. Ratios calculated under Canadian GAAP are available in the MD&As issued for periods prior to 2011.
(3) Effective weighted average interest rate includes deferred financing costs and fair value adjustments but excludes CMHC premiums. Including the amortization of the realized component of the loss on settlement of $9.9 million included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss ("AOCL"), the effective portfolio weighted average interest rate at June 30, 2011 would be 4.74% (June 30, 2010 - 5.06%).

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.

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

- The ratio of total debt to gross book value as at June 30, 2011 improved to 54.32% compared to 56.93% last year;
- Debt service and interest coverage ratios for the rolling four quarters ended June 30, 2011 remained strong at 1.34 times and 2.12 times, respectively, despite the impact of top up mortgage financing obtained in the period on principal and interest payments;
- At June 30, 2011, 96.2% (June 30, 2010 – 94.4%) of CAPREIT's mortgage portfolio is insured by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation ("CMHC"), excluding the mortgages on CAPREIT's manufactured home community land lease sites;
- The effective portfolio weighted average interest rate on mortgages has steadily declined from 4.97% as at June 30, 2010, to 4.66% as at June 30, 2011, which will result in significant interest rate savings in future years;
- Total financings of $173 million, including $147 million for renewals of existing mortgages and $26 million for additional top up financing have been closed or committed up to August 9, 2011 with an average term to maturity of 7.3 years, and at a weighted average rate of 3.59%, significantly below the weighted average interest rate of mortgages maturing in 2011 of 5.11%. Management expects to raise between $275 million and $300 million in total mortgage renewals and refinancings for 2011;
- As previously announced, CAPREIT has entered into a forward interest rate hedge on approximately $312 million of mortgages maturing between September 2011 and June 2013, which are expected to be refinanced on ten-year terms and to bear interest rates between 3.00% and 3.62%, before credit spread; and
- Effective June 30, 2011, CAPREIT has also successfully renewed and amended its credit facilities aggregating to $280 million, comprising a revolving three-year acquisition and operating facility of $270 million and a land lease facility of $10 million, which was renewed for a one-year term maturing on June 30, 2012. The available borrowing capacity under the acquisition and operating facility as at June 30, 2011 was $112.6 million in addition to the land lease facility capacity of $8.9 million.

Property Capital Investment Plan

During the first six months of 2011, CAPREIT made property capital investments of $36.7 million as compared to $27.4 million for the same period last year.

Property capital investments were higher compared to the prior year period primarily due to the acceleration of building improvement programs, and higher investments in suite improvements, common areas and equipment, which generally tend to increase NOI more quickly. The acceleration is in line with the revised capital investment plan for 2011 announced in the fourth quarter of 2010. CAPREIT continues to invest in environment-friendly and 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.

Acquisitions

During the second quarter, CAPREIT completed the acquisition of a total of 495 suites in the Greater Vancouver Region of British Columbia as well as 849 suites in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario for total acquisition costs of $74.6 million and $113.2 million, respectively.

Subsequent to the quarter, on July 31, 2011, CAPREIT completed the acquisition of an 811-suite portfolio in Laval, Québec. The purchase price was $70.0 million and was funded through the assumption of existing CMHC-insured mortgages totaling $47.0 million, at a weighted average stated interest rate of 4.80% and a weighted average term to maturity of 12.5 years, with the balance from the acquisition and operating facility.

On July 21, 2011, CAPREIT announced that it had agreed to acquire a 229-suite property in Scarborough, Ontario. The purchase price of approximately $16.8 million will be funded through new CMHC-insured 10.5 year mortgage financing of approximately $12.9 million at an interest rate of 3.88%, with the balance from the acquisition and operating facility. The transaction is expected to close August 10, 2011.

"So far this year we have acquired 16 properties, adding 2,467 suites to the portfolio for total acquisition costs of $284 million," Mr. Schwartz added. "While we have now exceeded our acquisition target for the year, we continue to leverage our strong liquidity position and evaluate additional acquisition opportunities that will further strengthen and diversify our portfolio."

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 August 9, 2011, 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 and 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.
