Operating Revenues

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, total operating revenues increased by 3.9% and 2.9%, 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 six months ended June 30, 2015, ancillary revenues, including parking, laundry and antenna income, rose by 11.1% and 5.5%, 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 June 30, 2015 increased to $494.8 million, up 3.5% from $477.9 million as at June 30, 2014 primarily due to acquisitions completed within the last twelve months and strong increases in average monthly rents. Net rental revenue run-rate net of dispositions for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 was $483.1 million (2014 - $468.9 million).

Average monthly rents for residential suites increased by 1.8% to $1,088 and occupancy remained stable at 98.0% as at June 30, 2015 due to ongoing successful sales and marketing strategies and continued strength in the residential rental sector in the majority of CAPREIT's regional markets.

The higher rate of growth in average monthly rents on lease renewals during 2015 compared to the prior year is primarily due to the higher mandated guideline increases for 2015 (Ontario - 1.6%, British Columbia - 2.5%), compared to the lower guideline increases in 2014 (Ontario - 0.8%, British Columbia - 2.2%) and by increases due to above guideline increases ("AGI") achieved in Ontario in 2015. Management continues to pursue AGI applications where it believes increases are supported by market conditions above the annual guideline to raise average monthly rents on lease renewals. For 2016, the permitted guideline increase in Ontario has been increased to 2.0%.

Operating Expenses

Overall operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenues improved to 37.6% and 39.8%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 37.7% and 40.7%, respectively, for the same periods last year, due to lower repairs and maintenance ("R&M"), wages, and utility costs as a percentage of operating revenues.

Net Operating Income

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, NOI improved by $3.2 million or 4.1%, and the NOI margin increased to 62.4% from 62.3% for the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, NOI increased by $6.6 million or 4.4%, and the NOI margin increased to 60.2% compared to 59.3% last year. The increase in NOI margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily the result of higher operating revenues, lower R&M, wages and utility costs partially offset by higher realty taxes costs as a percentage of operating revenues.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, operating revenues for stabilized suites and sites increased 2.1% and 1.9% respectively, while operating expenses increased 2.2% and decreased 0.6%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. As a result, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, stabilized NOI increased by a strong 2.0% and 3.7%, 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:

  • Total debt to gross book value ratio has improved significantly to 43.71% as at June 30, 2015 compared to 47.22% for the same period last year;
  • Debt service and interest coverage ratios for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 improved to 1.60 times and 2.88 times, respectively, compared to 1.59 times and 2.71 times last year;
  • As at June 30, 2015, 95.9% (June 30, 2014 - 97.0%) 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, resulting in improved spreads on mortgages and lower overall interest costs than conventional mortgages.
  • The effective portfolio weighted average interest rate on mortgages has steadily declined to 3.57% as at June 30, 2015 from 3.72% as at June 30, 2014, resulting in significant potential interest rate savings in future years;
  • Management expects to raise between $325 million and $375 million in total mortgage renewals and refinancings in 2015;
  • The weighted average term to maturity of the mortgage portfolio remained stable at 6.2 years as at June 30, 2015 compared to 6.7 years at June 30, 2014;
  • As at June 30, 2015, CAPREIT has investment properties with a fair value of $252.3 million not encumbered by mortgages and secure only the Acquisition and Operating Facility. CAPREIT intends to maintain unencumbered investment properties with an aggregate fair value in the range of $150 and $180 million over the long term.

Property Capital Investments

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, CAPREIT made property capital investments (excluding disposed properties, head office assets, tenant improvements and signage) of $58.2 million as compared to $56.4 million in the same period last year. For the full 2015 year, CAPREIT expects to complete property capital investments of approximately $145 million to $155 million, including approximately $51 million targeted at acquisitions completed since January 1, 2011, and approximately $15 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 also 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 July 23, 2015 CAPREIT announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") approved its notice of intention to make a normal course issuer bid for its Units as appropriate opportunities arise from time to time. CAPREIT's normal course issuer bid will be made in accordance with the policies of the TSX. CAPREIT may purchase its Units during the period from July 28, 2015 to July 27, 2016. Pursuant to the notice and subject to the market price of its Units and other considerations, CAPREIT may acquire over the next 12 months up to 11,493,069 Units, representing 10% of the public float. The average daily trading volume ("ADTV") for the six calendar months prior to the date hereof was 212,824 Units and CAPREIT will be permitted to re-purchase up to 25% of the ADTV on any trading day (25% being 53,206 Units).

On July 29, 2015, CAPREIT entered into an agreement to acquire a one-third undivided interest in the residential component of the King High Line Project, a mixed-use property development located at 1100 King Street West in downtown Toronto, Ontario (Liberty Village). The property will consist of approximately 160,000 square feet of commercial retail space (which will not be owned by CAPREIT), and three rental residential towers containing 506 apartment suites of various sizes, including some designed for families, over four levels of below-grade parking. CAPREIT will pay $60.3 million for its interest in the residential component of the development, financed by cash from CAPREIT's Acquisition and Operating credit facility. CAPREIT has been granted the property management contract and will be responsible for the lease-up of the residential towers for a market fee. Closing will take place upon substantial completion of construction, which is expected to occur in 2018. CAPREIT is partnering with First Capital Realty Inc. (TSX:FCR), Canada's leading owner, developer and manager of well-located grocery anchored retail properties, and First Capital Realty Inc.'s existing partner, an experienced developer of residential properties in Toronto's King West neighbourhood.

On July 31, 2015, CAPREIT completed the acquisition of Yorkson Grove, a 58 suite luxury apartment property located in Langley, British Columbia for a purchase (excluding transaction costs) of approximately $17.0 million. The purchase was funded with CAPREIT's Acquisition and Operating credit 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 August 10, 2015, 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.
