Operating Revenues
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, total operating revenues increased by 8.0% compared to the same period last year, due to the contributions from acquisitions, increased same property AMR, and continuing high occupancies. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, ancillary revenues, including parking, laundry and antenna income, increased 4.7% to $8.6 million, compared to the same period last year.
CAPREIT’s annualized net rental revenue run-rate as at March 31, 2018 grew to $643.8 million, up 8.6% from $592.7 million as at March 31, 2017, primarily due to acquisitions completed within the last twelve months and strong increases in AMR on properties owned prior to March 31, 2017. Net rental revenue run-rate net of dispositions for the twelve months ended March 31, 2018 was $617.2 million (2017 – $572.6 million).

Overall AMR for the stabilized residential suite portfolio (properties owned prior to March 31, 2017) increased 4.2% to $1,151 at March 31, 2018 from $1,105 at March 31, 2017. The increases were due primarily to a combination of ongoing successful sales and marketing strategies, above guideline rent increases, suite and building improvements, 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 March 31, 2018 compared to 98.6% for the same period last year.
For the total MHC land lease portfolio, AMR increased to $391 as at March 31, 2018, compared to $381 as at March 31, 2017 while occupancy remained strong at 98.2%. Management believes MHC land lease sites provide secure and stable cash flows due to long-term tenancies, high occupancies, steady increases in AMR, and significantly lower capital and maintenance costs.

Overall, suite turnovers in the residential suite portfolio (excluding co-ownerships and The Netherlands properties) during the three months ended March 31, 2018 resulted in AMR increasing by approximately $109 or 9.6% compared to an increase of approximately $45 or 4.0% for the same period last year, primarily due to the strong rental markets of British Columbia and Ontario, offset by strategically reduced rents in the Alberta rental markets to increase occupancy and decrease in rents in Saskatchewan due to lower occupancy.
Pursuant to Management’s focus on increasing overall portfolio rents for the three months ended March 31, 2018, AMR on lease renewals increased by approximately $26 or 2.2%, compared to an increase of approximately $21 or 1.8% for the same period last year. Increased portfolio diversification helped mitigate geographical risk in particular areas of Canada. Management continues to pursue applications for annual guideline increases (“AGIs”) in Ontario, where it believes increases to raise AMR on lease renewals above the annual guideline are supported by market conditions. For 2018, the permitted guideline increases in Ontario and British Columbia have been set at 1.8% and 4.0% respectively, up from 1.5% and 3.7% last year.

Operating Expenses
Overall operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenues improved to 39.0% from 41.1% for the same period last year due primarily to the increased size of the portfolio.
NOI
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, NOI increased by $10.8 million or 11.8%, and the NOI margin strengthened to 60.9% compared to 58.9% for the same period last year. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, operating revenues for stabilized suites and sites increased 3.9%, while operating expenses were lower by 0.4%, compared to the same period last year. As a result, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, stabilized NOI increased by 7.0% compared to the same period last year, showing the positive effects of CAPREIT’s geographic diversification across Canada and its proven property management programs.

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 41.48% as at March 31, 2018 compared to 43.99% for the same period last year;
- Debt service and interest coverage ratio improved to 1.64 times and 3.22 times, respectively, compared to 1.63 times and 3.12 times for the same period last year;
- As at March 31, 2018, 97.3% (March 31, 2017 – 95.9%) 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 3.07% as at March 31, 2018 from 3.20% as at March 31, 2017, resulting in significant potential interest rate savings in future years;
- Management expects to raise between $175 million and $225 million in total mortgage renewals and refinancings for 2018 excluding financings on acquisitions;
- The weighted average term to maturity of the mortgage portfolio was 5.45 years as at March 31, 2018 compared to 5.90 years at March 31, 2017;
- As at March 31, 2018, CAPREIT has investment properties with a fair value of $306.3 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.
Property Capital Investments
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, CAPREIT made property capital investments (excluding head office assets) of $28.2 million, compared to $30.8 million for the same period last year. In 2018, CAPREIT expects to complete property capital investments (excluding development and intensification) of approximately $185 million to $195 million.
Property capital investments include suite improvements, common areas and equipment, which generally tend to increase NOI more quickly. CAPREIT continues to invest in environment-friendly and energy-saving initiatives, including high-efficiency boilers, energy-efficient lighting systems and water saving programs, which have permitted CAPREIT to mitigate potential increases in utility and R&M costs and have improved overall portfolio NOI significantly.
Subsequent Event
On April 24, 2018, CAPREIT completed the acquisition of a property comprising of 134 MHC sites located in Swift Current, Saskatchewan. The purchase price of $5.65 million was financed with CAPREIT’s Acquisition and Operating credit facility.
On May 8, 2018, CAPREIT announced that its Board of Trustees had approved a 3.9% increase in monthly cash distributions to $0.1108 per Unit, or $1.33 per Unit on an annualized basis. The increase is effective with the May 2018 distribution payable on June 15, 2018 to Unitholders of record as at May 31, 2018.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
CAPREIT prepares and releases unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and audited consolidated annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“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 financial measures not recognized under IFRS and that 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 May 8, 2018, which should be read in conjunction with this press release. Since these measures are not recognized under IFRS, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other issuers. CAPREIT has presented 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 CAPREIT’s performance and cash flows. A reconciliation of these Non-IFRS measures to the comparable IFRS measures, along with further definitions and discussion, is included in this press release. 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 sustainability of our distributions.
