Operating Revenues

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, total operating revenues increased by 9.1% and 5.6%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year primarily due to increased average monthly rents, higher occupancies in most regions and the contribution from acquisitions, partially offset by property dispositions. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, ancillary revenues, including parking, laundry and antenna income, rose by 12.7% and 16.3%, respectively, as Management continued its focus on maximizing the revenue potential of its property portfolio.

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 September 30, 2011 increased to $358.6 million, up 10.6% from $324.1 million as of September 30, 2010 due primarily to acquisitions completed within the past twelve months. Net rental revenue for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011 was $334.8 million (2010 – $321.1 million).

Average monthly rents increased in all sectors and most geographic regions of the portfolio resulting in a 1.4% increase in overall average monthly rents as at September 30, 2011 to $991, from $977 as at September 30, 2010. Overall occupancy at September 30, 2011 improved to 98.8% from 98.7% 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) during the three months ended September 30, 2011 resulted in average monthly rent increasing by approximately $16 or 1.6% per suite compared to an increase of approximately $10 or 1.0% in the same period last year. For the first nine months of 2011, suite turnovers resulted in average monthly rent increasing by approximately $12 or 1.2% compared to an increase of $6 or 0.6% in the same period last year. Although the change in average monthly rents from suite turnovers improved from the same periods last year, it is partially offset by rent discounting in the Alberta market by approximately $3 or 0.3% per suite for the first nine months of 2011. Improving industry and economic conditions in Alberta resulted in suite turnovers average monthly rent increasing by approximately $9 or 0.8% per suite in the third quarter of 2011. Excluding the impact of the Alberta portfolio, residential suite turnovers would have instead resulted in average monthly rent increases of $13 or 1.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Pursuant to Management's focus on increasing overall portfolio rents, for the three months ended September 30, 2011 average monthly rents on lease renewals increased by approximately $15 or 1.5% compared to $22 or 2.3% for the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, average monthly rents increased by $14 or 1.4% compared to $22 or 2.3% 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, which compares unfavourably to the permitted Ontario guideline increase of 2.1% in 2010. In July 2011, the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing announced the rent control guideline for 2012 will be 3.1%. Management is actively pursuing applications for above guideline increases to raise average monthly rents on lease renewals.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 to 40.7% and 42.6 % from 41.3% and 43.3% for the same periods last year.

The decrease is primarily due to: (i) the diversification of the portfolio into regions with lower taxation rates, (ii) successful energy-saving initiatives, and a natural gas supply strategy implemented last year due to reduce utility costs, and (iii) enhanced procurement strategies and lower insurance costs.

Net Operating Income

In the third quarter of 2011, NOI improved by $5.1 million or 10.3%, and the NOI margin increased to 59.3% from 58.7% last year. For the first nine months of 2011, overall NOI increased by $9.8 million or 6.8%, and the NOI margin improved to 57.4% from 56.7% for the same period last year. The significant improvements in NOI contribution in specific regions of the portfolio were primarily the result of acquisitions and dispositions completed in the last 12 month period.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, operating revenues for stabilized suites and sites increased 2.6% and 3.1%, respectively, while operating expenses rose by a smaller 0.9% and 2.5%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. As a result, for the three and nine months ended September 30 2011, stabilized NOI increased by a significant 3.7% and 3.6%, respectively.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
September 30, September 30,
2011 2010 2011 2010
NFFO (000s) $ 29,252 25,228 $ 78,652 $ 70,775
NFFO Per Unit – Basic $ 0.388 $ 0.378 $ 1.047 $ 1.063

NFFO Effective Payout Ratio 56.6 % 62.0 % 62.4 % 67.3 %

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 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 16.0% and 11.1%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 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.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, basic NFFO per Unit decreased by 1.5% compared to the same period last year due primarily to the approximately 13% increase in the weighted average number of Units outstanding arising from the equity offering completed in December 2010. However, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, basic NFFO per Unit increased by 2.6% compared to the same periods last year resulting from higher NFFO, partially offset by increase in the weighted average number of Units outstanding. Management expects per Unit FFO and NFFO and related payout ratios will be impacted by the October 31, 2011 Equity Offering in the short term.

Comparing distributions declared to NFFO, the NFFO payout ratios for the three months ended September 30, 2011 improved to 72.0% compared to 74.2% for the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the NFFO payout ratio was 80.0% compared to 79.2% for the same period last year. The effective NFFO payout ratio, which compares NFFO to net distributions paid, improved for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, to 56.6% and 62.4%, respectively, from 62.0% and 67.3% for the same periods last year primarily due to higher NFFO during the current year periods and higher participation in distributions reinvested. Management believes NFFO will be sufficient to fund CAPREIT's distributions on an annualized basis.

(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 September 30, 2011 would be 4.71% (September 30, 2010 - 5.00%).

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 September 30, 2011 improved to 55.35% compared to 56.64% last year;

  • Debt service and interest coverage ratios for the rolling four quarters ended September 30, 2011 remained strong at 1.36 times and 2.17 times, respectively, despite the impact of top up mortgage financings;

  • At September 30, 2011, 96.4% (September 30, 2010 – 95.3%) of CAPREIT's mortgage portfolio was insured by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation ("CMHC"), excluding the mortgages on CAPREIT's manufactured home communities land lease sites;

  • The effective portfolio weighted average interest rate on mortgages has steadily declined from 4.91% as at September 30, 2010, to 4.63% as at September 30, 2011, which will result in significant interest rate savings in future years;

  • Total financings of $173 million, including $ 141.0 million for renewals of existing mortgages and $32 million for additional top up financing have been closed as of September 30, 2011 with an average term to maturity of 7.3 years, and at a weighted average rate of 3.57%, significantly below the weighted average interest rate of 5.08% on the maturing mortgages. Management expects to raise between $275 million and $300 million in total mortgage renewals and refinancings in 2011;

  • In the second quarter of 2011, CAPREIT entered into a forward interest rate hedge on approximately $312 million of mortgages matured or 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;

  • Effective July 1, 2011, CAPREIT 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 September 30, 2011 was $44.0 million in addition to the Land Lease Facility capacity of $9.4 million.

Property Capital Investment Plan

During the first nine months of 2011, CAPREIT made property capital investments of $74.8 million as compared to $48.9 million for the same period last year.

Property capital investments were higher in 2011 compared to the prior year 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 announced in the fourth quarter of 2010. 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.

Acquisitions

During the third quarter of 2011, CAPREIT completed the acquisition of an 811-suite portfolio in Laval, Québec. The total acquisition costs of $74.2 million were funded through the assumption of existing CMHC-insured mortgages totalling $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 in cash from the Acquisition and Operating Facility.

In addition, CAPREIT acquired a 229-suite property in Scarborough, Ontario. The total acquisition costs of $17.3 million was 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 in cash from the Acquisition and Operating Facility.

Subsequent Event

On October 31, 2011, under the 2011 Equity Offering CAPREIT issued 6,500,000 Units at $20.30 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $131.9 million. Also on October 31, 2011, CAPREIT issued 975,000 Units at $20.30 under an over-allotment option granted in connection with the 2011 Equity Offering, for aggregate gross proceeds of $19.8 million. The net proceeds of both issuances after Underwriters' fees and issue costs were $144.8 million and were used to reduce the REIT's Acquisition and Operating Facility.

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 7, 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.
