“We continued momentum on the execution of our strategy in 2024, and we’re pleased to see that translate into another quarter of strong results,” commented Mark Kenney, President and Chief Executive Officer. “I am especially excited about our recent disposition of two properties in Langley, which we sold to a non-profit organization that was funded by the BC Rental Protection Fund. This instrumental transaction will enable those suites to remain affordable in perpetuity, while we were able to free up capital to reinvest in new supply. We’re eager to continue participating in productive public-private partnerships such as this, and we hope to see more of our non-core legacy buildings transfer to the hands of non-profit organizations in the future.”

“We redeployed capital from our strategic sales into the acquisition of two new build, concrete rental apartment properties in London, which we purchased at a steep discount to replacement cost, and at a cap rate that exceeds the weighted average cap rate on our first quarter dispositions,” said Julian Schonfeldt, Chief Investment Officer. “In addition, so far this year, we’ve reduced our ownership in Irish Residential Properties REIT plc from 18.7% to 9.7% through the sale of $70.6 million worth of equity. We used part of the proceeds to accretively repurchase $27 million worth of CAPREIT’s units at a discount to NAV, with the remainder of our capital inflow reallocated into paying down higher interest debt. We’re excited about the progress we’ve made with this capital recycling so far in 2024, and we remain increasingly focused on our objective of increasing the quality of our core apartment portfolio in Canada, while simultaneously increasing our earnings per unit.”

“Robust rent growth and ongoing high occupancy trends continued throughout the quarter, and we achieved a solid same property NOI margin of 64.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024,” added Stephen Co, Chief Financial Officer. “This is up by 70 basis points versus the comparative period, largely due to lower utility costs resulting from milder winter weather experienced across the country. Organic growth contributed to the 7.4% increase in diluted FFO per unit, which we realized on top of elevated interest costs we’re incurring on our mortgage portfolio and credit facilities. Our balance sheet in Canada is strong with approximately $369 million in available liquidity, and this will continue to fuel our ability to execute on our capital allocation strategy moving forward.”

The Netherlands portfolio 1,068 98.5 1,002 98.7 1,068 98.5 1,001 98.7
(1) Same property Occupied AMR and occupancy include all properties held as at March 31, 2023, but exclude properties disposed of or held for sale as at March 31, 2024.
   

The rate of growth in total portfolio Occupied AMR has been primarily driven by (i) new acquisitions completed over the past 12 months and (ii) same property operational growth. The rate of growth in same property Occupied AMR has been primarily due to (i) rental increases on turnover in the rental markets of most provinces across the Canadian portfolio and (ii) rental increases on renewals.

The weighted average gross rent per square foot for total Canadian residential suites was approximately $1.85 as at March 31, 2024, increased from $1.75 as at March 31, 2023.

As the Netherlands lease renewals occur once a year in July, there were no changes in lease renewals for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023. For rent renewal increases due to indexation beginning on July 1, 2024, ERES served tenant notices to 6,572 suites, representing 96% of the residential portfolio, across which the average rental increase due to indexation and household income adjustment is 5.3%.

Net Operating Income

Same properties for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are defined as all properties owned by CAPREIT continuously since December 31, 2022, and therefore do not take into account the impact on performance of acquisitions or dispositions completed during 2024 and 2023, or properties that are classified as held for sale as at March 31, 2024.

The following table reconciles same property NOI and NOI from acquisitions, dispositions and assets held for sale to total NOI, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023:

($ Thousands)  
For the Three Months Ended March 31,   2024     2023  
Same property NOI $ 172,719   $ 160,504  
NOI from acquisitions   3,414     212  
NOI from dispositions and assets held for sale   916     3,142  
Total NOI $ 177,049   $ 163,858  
             

Operating Revenues

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, same property operating revenues increased by $16.5 million, primarily driven by increases in monthly rents on turnovers and renewals. Total operating revenues increased by $14.9 million during the same period, due to $16.6 million of operational growth, primarily on the same property operating portfolio and to a lesser extent on assets held for sale as at March 31, 2024 and a $4.4 million increase from acquisitions, partially offset by $6.1 million lower revenues due to dispositions.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the same property portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased compared to the same period last year, primarily due to increases in other operating expenses. Increase in other operating expenses is primarily due to higher R&M costs and higher insurance costs. Higher R&M costs are due to general inflationary pressures, as well as higher maintenance costs that correspond with a reduction in suite and common area capital improvements, reflecting CAPREIT’s strategic reallocation of capital in response to the tight rental market in Canada.

NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, CAPREIT purchased and cancelled approximately 0.6 million Trust Units under the NCIB program, at a weighted average purchase price of $48.19 per Trust Unit for a total cost of $27.7 million.

ATM PROGRAM

On February 22, 2024, CAPREIT filed a prospectus supplement to establish an ATM Program that allows CAPREIT, at its sole discretion to issue Trust Units up to an aggregate sale price of $400 million from treasury to the public from time to time, directly on the TSX or on other marketplaces on which the Trust Units are listed or quoted in Canada or where the Trust Units are traded in Canada, at prevailing market prices.

In connection with the establishment of the ATM Program, CAPREIT has entered into an equity distribution agreement dated February 22, 2024 (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with a major financial institution (the “Agent”). Any Trust Units sold in the ATM Program will be distributed through the TSX or any other permitted marketplace at the market prices prevailing at the time of sale. The volume and timing of distributions under the ATM Program, if any, will be determined at CAPREIT’s sole discretion. There is no certainty that any Trust Units will be offered or sold under the ATM Program. The ATM Program will be effective until June 9, 2025, unless terminated prior to such date by CAPREIT or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no Trust Units were issued under the ATM Program.

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 measures not recognized under IFRS which do not have standard meanings prescribed by IFRS. These include FFO, NAV, Total Debt, Gross Book Value, and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, Amortization and Fair Value (“Adjusted EBITDAFV”) (the “Non-IFRS Financial Measures”), as well as diluted FFO per unit, diluted NAV per unit, FFO payout ratio, Total Debt to Gross Book Value, 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 8, 2024, 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 Non-IFRS Measures because management believes 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 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 CAPREIT’s distributions.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this press release constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking information may relate to CAPREIT’s future outlook and anticipated events or results and may include statements regarding the future financial position, business strategy, budgets, litigation, occupancy rates, rental rates, productivity, projected costs, capital investments, development and development opportunities, financial results, taxes, plans and objectives of, or involving, CAPREIT. Particularly, statements regarding CAPREIT’s future results, performance, achievements, prospects, costs, opportunities and financial outlook, including those relating to acquisition, disposition and capital investment strategies and the real estate industry generally, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by terms such as “may”, “will”, “would”, “should”, “could”, “likely”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “intend”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “predict”, “potential”, “project”, “budget”, “continue” or the negative thereof, or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements are based on certain factors and assumptions regarding expected growth, results of operations, performance, and business prospects and opportunities. In addition, certain specific assumptions were made in preparing forward-looking information, including: that the Canadian and Dutch economies will generally experience growth, which, however, may be adversely impacted by the global economy, inflation and high interest rates, potential health crises and their direct or indirect impacts on the business of CAPREIT, including CAPREIT’s ability to enforce leases, perform capital expenditure work, increase rents and apply for above guideline increases (“AGIs”), obtain financings at favourable interest rates; that Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (“CMHC”) mortgage insurance will continue to be available and that a sufficient number of lenders will participate in the CMHC-insured mortgage program to ensure competitive rates; that the Canadian capital markets will continue to provide CAPREIT with access to equity and/or debt at reasonable rates; that vacancy rates for CAPREIT properties will be consistent with historical norms; that rental rates on renewals will grow; that rental rates on turnovers will grow; that the difference between in-place and market-based rents will be reduced upon such turnovers and renewals; that CAPREIT will effectively manage price pressures relating to its energy usage; and, with respect to CAPREIT’s financial outlook regarding capital investments, assumptions respecting projected costs of construction and materials, availability of trades, the cost and availability of financing, CAPREIT’s investment priorities, the properties in which investments will be made, the composition of the property portfolio and the projected return on investment in respect of specific capital investments. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on assumptions and information that is currently available to management, which are subject to change, management believes these statements have been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting CAPREIT’s best estimates and judgements. However, there can be no assurance actual results, terms or timing will be consistent with these forward-looking statements, and they may prove to be incorrect. Forward-looking statements necessarily involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond CAPREIT’s control, that may cause CAPREIT’s or the industry’s actual results, performance, achievements, prospects and opportunities in future periods to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, risks related to: rent control and residential tenancy regulations, general economic conditions, privacy, cyber security and data governance risks, availability and cost of debt, acquisitions, dispositions and property development, valuation risk, liquidity and price volatility of units of CAPREIT (“Trust Units”), catastrophic events, climate change, taxation-related risks, energy costs, environmental matters, vendor management and third-party service providers, operating risk, talent management and human resources shortages, public health crises, other regulatory compliance risks, litigation risk, CAPREIT’s investment in European Residential Real Estate Investment Trust (“ERES”), potential conflicts of interest, investment restrictions, lack of diversification of investment assets, geographic concentration, illiquidity of real property, capital investments, leasing risk, dependence on key personnel, adequacy of insurance and captive insurance, competition for residents, controls over disclosures and financial reporting, the nature of Trust Units, dilution, distributions and foreign operation and currency risks. There can be no assurance that the expectations of CAPREIT’s management will prove to be correct. These risks and uncertainties are more fully described in regulatory filings, including CAPREIT’s Annual Information Form, which can be obtained on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, under CAPREIT’s profile, as well as under the “Risks and Uncertainties” section of CAPREIT’s 2023 Annual MD&A dated February 22, 2024. The information in this press release is based on information available to management as of May 8, 2024. Subject to applicable law, CAPREIT does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking information.
