- Pursuant to Mr. Scott Cryer’s departure, Mr. Stephen Co has assumed the position as CAPREIT’s Interim Chief Financial Officer effective April 1, 2022 until a formal successor is appointed
Strong Operating Results

- On turnovers, monthly residential rents for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by 10.2% on 3.7% of the Canadian portfolio, compared to an increase of 3.4% on 4.4% of the Canadian portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2021
- Net Average Monthly Rent (“Net AMR”) for the stabilized portfolio as at March 31, 2022 increased by 3.0% compared to March 31, 2021, while occupancies increased to 98.0% compared to 97.4% as at March 31, 2021
- Total NOI increased 4.4% from last year driven by acquisitions, offset by the impact of weather related maintenance and utilities
Strong and Flexible Balance Sheet
- CAPREIT’s financial position remains strong, with $228.9 million of available liquidity on CAPREIT’s Acquisition and Operating Facility
- Management expects to raise between $800 million and $850 million in total mortgage renewals and refinancings for 2022, excluding financings on acquisitions

“Following a year of solid performance in 2021, our growth and strong operating results continued in the first quarter of 2022,” commented Mark Kenney, President and CEO. “With the pandemic easing, we are seeing a return to near-full occupancies, increasing average monthly rents, and strengthening demand as Canadians increasingly look to our high-quality, well-located and spacious rental suites, townhomes and manufactured housing communities as affordable alternatives to the high cost of home ownership. Looking ahead, we expect to see further growth in our key performance benchmarks through the balance of the year.”

Overall, suite turnovers in the Canadian residential portfolio (excluding co-ownerships) during the three months ended March 31, 2022 resulted in monthly rent increasing by approximately $142 or 10.2% compared to an increase of approximately $48 or 3.4% for for the same period last year, primarily due to the strong rental markets in Ontario, British Columbia and Nova Scotia.
Monthly rents on lease renewals on the Canadian residential portfolio (excluding co-ownerships) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 resulted in monthly rent increasing by approximately $18 or 1.3% compared to an increase of approximately $11 or 0.9% for the same period last year. As a result of the expiry of the regulatory rent freeze in Ontario and British Columbia, CAPREIT served tenant notices to 44% of its Canadian tenants, across which the weighted average rental increase was 1.3%, effective January 1, 2022.
For the Netherlands portfolio, suite turnovers in the residential suite portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2022 resulted in monthly rent increasing by approximately €189 or 21.1% compared to an increase of approximately €118 or 13.7% for the same period last year. As the Netherlands lease renewals occur once a year in July, there were no renewal increases for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. For rental increases due to indexation beginning on July 1, 2022, ERES served tenant notices to 5,766 suites, representing 95% of the residential portfolio, across which the average rental increase due to indexation is 2.95%.

Operating Revenues
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, total operating revenues for the total and stabilized portfolios increased compared to the same period last year, due to increases in monthly rents on turnovers and renewals and decreases in rental vacancies. Contributions from acquisitions further contributed to higher operating revenues for the total portfolio.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the stabilized portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased compared to the same period last year, primarily due to increases in other operating expenses and utilities. Other operating expenses for the stabilized portfolio increased primarily due to the colder weather increasing the amount of boiler and weather-related maintenance needed. As restrictions and limitations in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic have been lifted in 2022, there was an increased ability to complete R&M work compared to the same period last year. Stabilized utilities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased primarily due to higher natural gas costs driven by higher rates and increased consumption due to colder weather.
NOI Margin
For the three months March 31, 2022, the NOI margin on the total portfolio was 62.1% compared to 64.5% for the same period last year.
NON-IFRS PERFORMANCE
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, basic NFFO per Unit remained stable at $0.556 compared to the same period last year, despite an approximate 1.7% increase in the weighted average number of Units outstanding. 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 three months ended March 31, 2022, CAPREIT made property capital investments (excluding head office assets) of $58.3 million compared to $52.7 million for the same period last year.
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 April 29, 2022, CAPREIT completed the disposition of an 82-suite apartment property located in downtown Toronto. CAPREIT was paid $56 million for the property.
On May 2, 2022, ERES completed the acquisition five multi-residential properties comprised of 110 suites located in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, for a purchase price of $31.2 million (€23 million) (excluding transaction costs and fees). The acquisition was funded via promissory note issued to CAPREIT on April 27, 2022 in the principal amount of $34.8 million (€25.7 million), carrying an interest rate of 1.50% per annum and with a maturity date of October 27, 2022, to be replaced with long-term mortgage financing at a future date.

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 financial measures not recognized under IFRS which do not have standard meanings prescribed by IFRS. These include Funds From Operations (“FFO”), Normalized Funds From Operations (“NFFO”), Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations (“ACFO”), Adjusted Cash Generated from Operating Activities, Net Asset Value (“NAV”), Net Trust Expenses, Total Debt, Gross Book Value, Gross Historical Cost, and Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, Amortization and Fair Value (“EBITDAFV”) (the “Non-IFRS Financial Measures”), as well as FFO, NFFO and ACFO payout ratios, Ratio of Total Debt to Gross Book Value, Ratio of Total Debt to Gross Historical Cost, Ratio of Total Debt to Total Capitalization, 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 16, 2022, 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 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, financial condition, and cash flows. These Non-IFRS measures have been assessed for compliance with the new 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 our distributions.

In addition, certain specific assumptions were made in preparing forward-looking information, including: that the Canadian, Irish and Dutch economies will generally experience growth, which, however, may be adversely impacted by the global economy and its direct or indirect impacts on the business of CAPREIT. These impacts may include the ability to increase rents and apply for above guideline increases, 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 at levels similar to the rate of inflation; 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, management believes they are reasonable as of the date hereof; however, there can be no assurance actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements, and they may prove to be incorrect.

(1) Excludes interest with respect to leases, distributions to ERES non-controlling unitholders, and holders of Exchangeable LP Units.
(2) Non-discretionary property capital investments for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 have been calculated as follows: Non-Discretionary Property Capital Investments per suite and site are based on the annual 2022 and 2021 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 2022 and 2021 on an annual basis is $1,285 and $1,262 respectively. The estimated full year weighted average number of residential suites and sites for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 is 66,222 and 62,296, 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) The investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 includes $4.2 million dividends paid by IRES.
(6) The adjustment is based on applying the 34% weighted average ownership held by ERES non-controlling unitholders (December 31, 2021 – 34%)
