  • Net Average Monthly Rent (“Net AMR”) for the stabilized portfolio as at March 31, 2022 increased by 3.0% compared to March 31, 2021, while occupancies increased to 98.0% compared to 97.4% as at March 31, 2021
  • Total NOI increased 4.4% from last year driven by acquisitions, offset by the impact of weather related maintenance and utilities

“Following a year of solid performance in 2021, our growth and strong operating results continued in the first quarter of 2022,” commented Mark Kenney, President and CEO. “With the pandemic easing, we are seeing a return to near-full occupancies, increasing average monthly rents, and strengthening demand as Canadians increasingly look to our high-quality, well-located and spacious rental suites, townhomes and manufactured housing communities as affordable alternatives to the high cost of home ownership. Looking ahead, we expect to see further growth in our key performance benchmarks through the balance of the year.”

Overall, suite turnovers in the Canadian residential portfolio (excluding co-ownerships) during the three months ended March 31, 2022 resulted in monthly rent increasing by approximately $142 or 10.2% compared to an increase of approximately $48 or 3.4% for for the same period last year, primarily due to the strong rental markets in Ontario, British Columbia and Nova Scotia.

Monthly rents on lease renewals on the Canadian residential portfolio (excluding co-ownerships) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 resulted in monthly rent increasing by approximately $18 or 1.3% compared to an increase of approximately $11 or 0.9% for the same period last year. As a result of the expiry of the regulatory rent freeze in Ontario and British Columbia, CAPREIT served tenant notices to 44% of its Canadian tenants, across which the weighted average rental increase was 1.3%, effective January 1, 2022.

For the Netherlands portfolio, suite turnovers in the residential suite portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2022 resulted in monthly rent increasing by approximately €189 or 21.1% compared to an increase of approximately €118 or 13.7% for the same period last year. As the Netherlands lease renewals occur once a year in July, there were no renewal increases for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. For rental increases due to indexation beginning on July 1, 2022, ERES served tenant notices to 5,766 suites, representing 95% of the residential portfolio, across which the average rental increase due to indexation is 2.95%.

Operating Revenues

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, total operating revenues for the total and stabilized portfolios increased compared to the same period last year, due to increases in monthly rents on turnovers and renewals and decreases in rental vacancies. Contributions from acquisitions further contributed to higher operating revenues for the total portfolio.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the stabilized portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased compared to the same period last year, primarily due to increases in other operating expenses and utilities. Other operating expenses for the stabilized portfolio increased primarily due to the colder weather increasing the amount of boiler and weather-related maintenance needed. As restrictions and limitations in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic have been lifted in 2022, there was an increased ability to complete R&M work compared to the same period last year. Stabilized utilities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased primarily due to higher natural gas costs driven by higher rates and increased consumption due to colder weather.

NOI Margin

For the three months March 31, 2022, the NOI margin on the total portfolio was 62.1% compared to 64.5% for the same period last year.

NON-IFRS PERFORMANCE

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, basic NFFO per Unit remained stable at $0.556 compared to the same period last year, despite an approximate 1.7% increase in the weighted average number of Units outstanding. Management expects per Unit FFO and NFFO and related payout ratios to strengthen further in the medium term as a result of NOI contributions from recent acquisitions.

PROPERTY CAPITAL INVESTMENTS

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, CAPREIT made property capital investments (excluding head office assets) of $58.3 million compared to $52.7 million for the same period last year.

Property capital investments include suite improvements, common areas and equipment, which generally tend to increase NOI more quickly. CAPREIT also continues to invest in environment-friendly and energy-saving initiatives, including energy-efficient boilers and lighting systems.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 29, 2022, CAPREIT completed the disposition of an 82-suite apartment property located in downtown Toronto. CAPREIT was paid $56 million for the property.

On May 2, 2022, ERES completed the acquisition five multi-residential properties comprised of 110 suites located in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, for a purchase price of $31.2 million (€23 million) (excluding transaction costs and fees). The acquisition was funded via promissory note issued to CAPREIT on April 27, 2022 in the principal amount of $34.8 million (€25.7 million), carrying an interest rate of 1.50% per annum and with a maturity date of October 27, 2022, to be replaced with long-term mortgage financing at a future date.

On May 4, 2022, CAPREIT completed the acquisition of a portfolio of apartments and townhomes consisting of 112 suites located in Ottawa, ON. CAPREIT paid $43.7 million, funded by the Acquisition and Operating Facility.

Non-IFRS Measures

CAPREIT prepares and releases unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and audited consolidated annual financial statements 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 discloses financial measures not recognized under IFRS which do not have standard meanings prescribed by IFRS. These include Funds From Operations (“FFO”), Normalized Funds From Operations (“NFFO”), Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations (“ACFO”), Adjusted Cash Generated from Operating Activities, Net Asset Value ("NAV"), Net Trust Expenses, Total Debt, Gross Book Value, Gross Historical Cost, and Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, Amortization and Fair Value ("EBITDAFV") (the “Non-IFRS Financial Measures”), as well as FFO, NFFO and ACFO payout ratios, Ratio of Total Debt to Gross Book Value, Ratio of Total Debt to Gross Historical Cost, Ratio of Total Debt to Total Capitalization, Debt Service Coverage Ratio, and Interest Coverage Ratio (the "Non-IFRS Ratios" and together with the Non-IFRS Financial Measures, the “Non-IFRS Measures”). These Non-IFRS Measures are further defined and discussed in the MD&A released on May 16, 2022, which should be read in conjunction with this press release. Since these measures and related per unit amounts are not recognized under IFRS, they may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other issuers. CAPREIT presents the Non-IFRS measures because Management believes these Non-IFRS measures are relevant measures of the ability of CAPREIT to earn revenue and to evaluate its performance, financial condition, and cash flows. These Non-IFRS measures have been assessed for compliance with the new National Instrument 52-112 and a reconciliation of these Non-IFRS measures is included in this press release below. The Non-IFRS measures should not be construed as alternatives to net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of CAPREIT’s performance or the sustainability of our distributions.
