SUMMARY OF Q2-2019 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Key Transactions

  • On May 31, 2019 and June 28, 2019, ERES acquired two portfolios of multi-residential properties from CAPREIT. For details, see Section I – European Residential Real Estate Investment Trust of the MD&A
  • On April 23, 2019, CAPREIT closed on its issuance and sale of 7,043,750 units for $49.00 per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $345.1 million to a syndicate of underwriters led by RBC on a brought-deal basis
  • Total acquisitions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 of 4,440 suites and sites and 6,055 suites and sites for a total of $351.9 million and $572.2 million respectively, of which 511 suites were subsequently sold to ERES

Strong Operating Results Supported by Strong Market Fundamentals

  • Growth in revenue and net operating income (“NOI”) from stabilized properties driven by higher monthly rents compared to last year
  • On turnovers, monthly residential rents for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 increased by 14.2% on 4.4% and 14.1% on 7.9% of the Canadian portfolio, compared to an increase of 10.5% on 5.5% and 10.1% on 9.7% of the Canadian portfolio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018
  • On renewals, monthly residential rents for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 increased by 2.1% on 21.3% and 2.1% on 38.5% of the Canadian portfolio, compared to an increase of 2.2% on 21.0% and 2.2% on 37.7% of the Canadian portfolio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018
  • Net Average Monthly Rent (“Net AMR”) for the stabilized portfolio as at June 30, 2019 increased by 4.4% compared to June 30, 2018, while occupancies remained strong at 98.9%
  • Net AMR increased due to the strong rents on turnovers in British Columbia and Ontario and above guideline increases in Ontario
  • NOI increased by 4.2% and 5.2% for the stabilized portfolio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to a NOI increase of 7.7% and 7.4% for the stabilized portfolio for the same period last year
  • NOI for the total portfolio increased by 13.1% and 12.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to last year primarily due to contributions from acquisitions, and increased same property monthly rents
  • NOI margin for the total portfolio increased to 65.9% and 64.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019

Continued Fair Value Increases in Investment Properties

  • For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the fair value of investment properties increased by $86.6 million and $209.9 million, primarily as a result of increases in NOI attributable to the growth in rents driven by the rental increases on turnovers, as current rents are significantly below market rents, especially in major regions such as the GTA, other Ontario and British Columbia

Strong and Flexible Balance Sheet

  • CAPREIT’s financial position continues to strengthen, with reduced leverage ratios
  • Debt to Gross Book Value (“GBV”) reduced to 36.34% as at June 30, 2019 from 39.37% at December 31, 2018, due to increases in fair value of investment properties and equity raise
  • Debt Service Coverage (“DSC”) ratio remains stable at 1.74 compared to 1.75 as at December 31, 2018.
  • Liquidity available on our Credit Facilities is $334.2 million as at June 30, 2019. In addition, there is a $100.0 million Bridge Facility in place for 3 months, effective June 28, 2019
  • Closed mortgage refinancing for $173.0 million and $184.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, with top-ups of $170.0 million, a weighted average term to maturity of 7.3 years and a weighted average interest rate of 2.86%
  • CAPREIT’s mortgage weighted average term to maturity and the weighted average interest rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 are approximately 5.0 years and 2.97%. CAPREIT continues to fix long-term mortgages to defend against the risk of rising interest rate environment

Delivering Unitholder Value

  • NFFO up 10.7% and 13.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019
  • NFFO per Unit was up by 0.6% and 3.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019

"Our growth and strong operating performance continued in the second quarter of 2019,” commented Mark Kenney, President and CEO. “Through the first six months of the year we purchased 6,055 apartment suites and manufactured housing community sites for total costs of $572.2 million, strengthening our Netherlands property portfolio and significantly increasing our presence in the profitable MHC business in key markets across Canada."

Suite turnovers in the Canadian residential suite portfolio (excluding co-ownerships) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 resulted in monthly rents increasing by approximately $177 or 14.2% and $175 or 14.1%, respectively, compared to an increase of approximately $123 or 10.5% and $117 or 10.1% for the same periods last year, primarily due to the strong rental markets in British Columbia and Ontario.

Monthly rents on lease renewals in the Canadian residential suite portfolio (excluding co-ownerships) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 resulted in monthly rents increasing by approximately $25 or 2.1% and $26 or 2.1% respectively, compared to an increase of approximately $26 or 2.2% for both same periods last year.

For the Netherlands portfolio, suite turnovers in the residential suite portfolio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 resulted in monthly rents increasing by approximately €46 or 5.7% and €55 or 6.8% compared to an increase of approximately €124 or 16.3% and €126 or 16.5% respectively for the same periods last year. As the Netherlands lease renewals occur once a during in July, there were no renewal increases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Estimated Net Rental Revenue Run-Rate

CAPREIT’s annualized net rental revenue run-rate as at June 30, 2019 grew to $738.8 million, up 13.1% from $653.3 million, primarily as a result of the extensive MHC portfolio growth and significant growth in the commercial rent roll primarily as a result of the ERES commercial income. Net rental revenue net of dispositions for the 12 months ended June 30, 2019 was $679.4 million (June 30, 2018 – $623.9 million).

NOI

Stabilized properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are defined as all properties owned by CAPREIT continuously since December 31, 2017 and therefore do not take into account the impact on performance of acquisitions or dispositions completed during 2019 and 2018.

(3) 2018 comparative balances have been adjusted to conform with the current period presentation for land and air right leases. Prior to IFRS 16 which is effective January 1, 2019, land and air right lease expenses were deducted as an "operating expense" to calculate NOI. Post IFRS 16 being effective, leases are capitalized as an asset with a corresponding lease liability and the fixed land and air right lease payments are not deducted as an operating expense through NOI. In 2019 the fixed land and air right lease payments are deducted as interest expense and principal repayment. Therefore, 2018 NOI comparatives have been restated to conform with the current period presentation for land leases, and will not agree to the 2018 Net Rental Income presented in the financial statements. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 Total and Stabilized NOI has increased by $377 thousand by adding back the fixed land and air right lease expense, increasing the Total NOI margin from 65.0% to 65.2% and increasing the Stabilized NOI margin from 65.1% to 65.3%. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 Total and Stabilized NOI has increased by $754 thousand by adding back the fixed land and air right lease expense, increasing the Total NOI margin from 63.0% to 63.2% and increasing the Stabilized NOI margin from 63.1% to 63.3%.

Operating Revenues

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, total operating revenues for the total and stabilized portfolios increased compared to the same periods last year, due to increases in monthly rents and continuing high occupancies. Contributions from acquisitions further contributed to increased operating revenues for the total portfolio.

Operating Expenses

The stabilized operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 increased compared to the same period last year, primarily due to increases in realty taxes and other operating expenses. The realty taxes for the stabilized portfolio increased mainly as a result of the increase in the assessment of the property values in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario and Québec. Stabilized other operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 increased primarily due to higher on-site costs and rising insurance costs driven by higher replacement cost valuations, and overall increases in insurance rates.

NOI Margin

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the NOI margin on the total portfolio increased to 65.9% and 64.4%.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, basic NFFO per Unit increased by 3.3% compared to the compared to the same period last year despite an approximate 6.0% increase in the weighted average number of Units outstanding. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, basic NFFO per Unit increased by 0.6% compared to the same period last year. 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 six months ended June 30, 2019, CAPREIT made property capital investments (excluding head office assets) of $87.9 million compared to $65.4 million for the same period last year. Management expects CAPREIT to complete property capital investments (excluding development and intensification) of approximately $211 million to $221 million in 2019.

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 July 8, 2019, ERES entered into a new €50 million revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”) with two Canadian chartered banks. The maturity date of the New Revolving Credit Facility is July 8, 2021, which may be extended by ERES LP for an additional one-year period upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Draws under the New Credit Facility are permitted in Canadian dollars, Euros or British pounds at a floating interest rate based on CDOR, EURIBOR and LIBOR, respectively, and the Credit Facility is fully secured against the assets of ERES and ERES LP (other than certain European intercompany loans).

On July 10, 2019, ERES drew €22.5 million on the New Revolving Credit Facility to pay CAPREIT and certain of its subsidiaries the remaining outstanding consideration in connection with its most recent indirect acquisition of a portfolio of properties located in the Netherlands.

On July 29, 2019, ERES filed a preliminary base shelf prospectus for up to $750 million aggregate initial offering for sale and issue of securities (or the equivalent amount if any securities are denominated in a currency other than Canadian dollar).

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

CAPREIT prepares and releases unaudited consolidated interim financial statements 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 discloses financial measures not recognized under IFRS which do not have standard meanings prescribed by IFRS. These include stabilized net rental income (“Stabilized NOI”), Funds From Operations (“FFO”), Normalized Funds From Operations (“NFFO”), Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations (“ACFO”), FFO and NFFO per Unit amounts and FFO, NFFO and ACFO payout ratios, and Adjusted Cash Generated from Operating Activities (collectively, the “Non-IFRS Measures”). These Non-IFRS Measures are further defined and discussed in the MD&A released on August 13, 2019, which should be read in conjunction with this press release. Since these measures 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 and cash flows. 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.

(1) Effective January 1, 2018, CAPREIT adopted IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. Under this standard, this investment has been designated as FVTPL whereas previously it was designated as available-for-sale. Under the guidance in this new standard, any mark-to-market gains or losses are recorded in the statement of income and comprehensive income whereas previously they were recorded through OCI. The cumulative mark to market gains/losses have also been reclassified from accumulated OCI to retained earnings on adoption of this standard.
(2) Represents $18.1 million of current income taxes on the deemed disposition of investment properties associated with the reorganization of the legal structure of the Netherlands subsidiaries, offset by deferred income tax recovery.
(3) Relates to unrealized gain on remeasurement of investment properties.
(4) This calculation is based on the weighted-average non-controlling interest held by ERES external unitholders.
(5) Upon adoption of IFRS 16, there is no impact on FFO. Currently, lease principal repayments deducted from FFO, which were previously expensed prior to adoption and deducted from FFO.
(6) Costs include legal, audit, tax, consulting, and financial advisory fees related to the business combination.
(7) Expenses included in Unit-based compensation expenses relates to accelerated vesting of previously-granted RUR units.
(8) For the description of distributions declared and net distributions paid, see the Non-IFRS Financial Measures section in the MD&A for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
(9) The payout ratio compares distributions declared to NFFO.
(10) The effective payout ratio compares net distributions paid to NFFO.

(1)On a quarterly basis, a review of working capital is performed to determine whether changes in prepaids, receivables, deposits, accounts payable and other liabilities, security deposits and other non-cash operating assets and liabilities were attributed to items which were not indicative of sustainable cash flows available for distribution in line with the ACFO guidance provided by REALpac. As a result, the one-time special distribution to the pre-existing unitholders of ECREIT was added back.
(2)Non-discretionary property capital investments for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 has been calculated as follows: Non-Discretionary Property Capital Investments per suite and site is based on the annual 2019 and 2018 forecasts  respectively, divided by four for the quarter, and multiplied by the weighted average number of residential suites and sites during the period. The forecasted Non-Discretionary Property Capital Investments per suite and site for 2019 and 2018 on an annual basis is $1,270 and $1,317 respectively. The weighted average number of residential suites and sites for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 is 52,221 and 49,520, respectively. For a reconciliation of actual non-discretionary property capital investments incurred during the period to forecast, see the Adjusted Cash Flows From Operations and Distributions Declared Section of the MD&A.
(3)Comprises tenant inducements and direct leasing costs.
(4)Includes amortization of deferred financing costs, CMHC premiums, deferred loan costs and fair value adjustments.
(5)Expensed transaction costs associated with The Acquisition are added back as per The REALpac whitepaper for ACFO dated February, 2019.
(6)Upon adoption of IFRS 16, effective January 1, 2019, CAPREIT's leases were required to be capitalized with a corresponding lease liability. This has led to the recording of lease interest on these lease liabilities, and lease repayments. This deduction is allowed under the amended REALpac whitepaper for ACFO dated February, 2019.
(7)Certain 2018 comparative balances have been restated to conform to current year presentation.
