Operating Revenues

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, total operating revenues increased by 15.2% and 13.6%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year primarily due to the contribution from acquisitions, higher same property average monthly rents, and continuing strong occupancies. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, ancillary revenues, such as parking, laundry and antenna income, increased 10.6% and 10.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 respectively compared to the same periods last year.

CAPREIT's annualized net rental revenue run-rate as at September 30, 2016 increased to $581.6 million, up 7.2% from $542.7 million as at September 30, 2015 primarily due to acquisitions completed within the last twelve months and strong increases in average monthly rents on properties owned prior to September 30, 2015. Net rental revenue run-rate net of dispositions for the twelve months ended September 30, 2016 was $551.6 million (2015 - $488.6 million).

Overall Portfolio Average $ 999 98.7 $ 964 98.0 $ 994 98.8 $ 967 98.0

Overall average monthly rents for the stabilized residential suite portfolio (properties owned prior to September 30, 2015) increased 2.7% to $1,094 at September 30, 2016 from $1,065 at September 30, 2015. The increases were due primarily to a combination of ongoing successful sales and marketing strategies, above guideline rent increases, and continued strength in the residential rental sector in the majority of CAPREIT's regional markets. Occupancy for the stabilized residential suite portfolio increased to 98.8% as at September 30, 2016 compared to 97.9% for the same period last year.

For the stabilized MHC land lease portfolio, average monthly rents increased to $376 as at September 30, 2016, compared to $364 as at September 30, 2015 while occupancy remained strong at 98.2% compared to 98.6% for the same period last year. Management believes MHC land lease sites provide secure and stable cash flows due to long-term tenancies, high occupancies, steady increases in average monthly rents, and significantly lower capital and maintenance costs.

(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.

Suite turnovers in the residential suite portfolio (excluding co-ownerships) during the three months ended September 30, 2016 resulted in average monthly rent increasing by approximately $26 or 2.4% per suite compared to an increase of approximately $21 or 2.0% in the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, suite turnovers resulted in average monthly rent increasing by approximately $7 or 0.6% compared to an increase of approximately $19 or 1.7% in the same period last year.

During 2016, Management made a strategic decision to reduce rents in Alberta and Saskatchewan in order to increase occupancies and reduce turnovers in these regions. Alberta and Saskatchewan have been facing increased pressure due to falling energy prices resulting in a weaker economy in these regions than in the rest of Canada. Excluding Alberta and Saskatchewan, average monthly rents increased strongly by approximately $43 or 4.0% and $38 or 3.5% on suite turnovers for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, compared to an increase of $29 or 2.7% and $25 or 2.4% on suite turnovers, respectively for the same period last year, primarily due to the strong rental markets of British Columbia and Ontario.

Pursuant to Management's focus on increasing overall portfolio rents for the three months ended September 30, 2016 average monthly rents on lease renewals increased by approximately $21 or 2.0% per suite compared to an increase of approximately $20 or 1.9% for the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, average monthly rents on lease renewals increased by approximately $21 or 2.0%, compared to an increase of approximately $22 or 2.0% for the same period last year. The stable rate of growth in average monthly rents on lease renewals during the period is due primarily to the strategically reduced rents in Alberta to increase occupancy, offset by higher guideline increases for 2016 (Ontario - 2.0%, British Columbia - 2.9%), compared to the permitted guideline increases in 2015 (Ontario - 1.6%, British Columbia - 2.5%), and by increases due to above guideline increases ("AGI") achieved in Ontario. Increased portfolio diversification helped mitigate geographical risk in particular areas of Canada. Management continues to pursue applications in Ontario for AGIs where it believes increases above the annual guideline are supported by market conditions to raise average monthly rents on lease renewals (see discussion in the Future Outlook section). For 2017, the permitted guideline increase in Ontario and British Columbia has been set to 1.5% and 3.7%, respectively.

NOI

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, NOI increased by $14.2 million or 17.3%, and the NOI margin strengthened to 63.4% compared to 62.3% for the same period 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 strengthened to 44.3% as at September 30, 2016 compared to 49.3% for the same period last year;

  • Debt service and interest coverage ratio as at September 30, 2016 improved to 1.63 times and 3.05 times, respectively, compared to 1.61 times and 2.93 times last year;

  • As at September 30, 2016, 96.5% (September 30, 2015 - 96.0%) 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 and Euro LIBOR borrowings, 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 3.25% as at September 30, 2016 from 3.53% as at September 30, 2015, resulting in significant potential interest rate savings in future years;

  • Management expects to raise between $275 million and $325 million in total mortgage renewals and refinancings in 2016;

  • The weighted average term to maturity of the mortgage portfolio was 6.2 years as at September 30, 2016 compared to 6.2 years at September 30, 2015;

  • As at September 30, 2016, CAPREIT has investment properties with a fair value of $278.5 million not encumbered by mortgages and securing 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.

  • On August 3, 2016 CAPREIT completed the sale of 5,126,000 Units, including an over-allotment option, for $32.20 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $165.1 million. The net proceeds of the offering were used to repay a portion of borrowings under the REIT's Acquisition and Operating Facility.

Property Capital Investments

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, CAPREIT made property capital investments (excluding head office assets) of $124.3 million as compared to $106.0 million in the same period last year. For the full 2016 year, CAPREIT expects to complete property capital investments of approximately $175 million to $185 million, including approximately $96 million targeted at acquisitions completed since January 1, 2011, and approximately $25 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.

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. These include Net Rental Revenue Run-Rate, stabilized NOI, FFO, NFFO, Adjusted Cash Flow from Operating Activities, and applicable per Unit amounts and payout ratios (collectively, the "Non-IFRS Measures"). These Non-IFRS Measures are further defined and discussed in the MD&A released on November 7, 2016, which should be read in conjunction with this press release. Since Net Rental Revenue Run-Rate, stabilized NOI, FFO, NFFO, and Adjusted Cash Flow from Operating Activities are not recognized under IFRS, they may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other issuers. CAPREIT has presented the Non-IFRS Measures because Management believes the Non-IFRS Measures are relevant measures of the ability of CAPREIT to earn and to evaluate CAPREIT's performance. A reconciliation of Net Income and the Non-IFRS Measures including Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") is included in this press release. The 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.
