SUMMARY OF YEAR END 2020 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Key Transactions and Events

  • During the year, CAPREIT completed the buyout of 10 of the 13 remaining operating leases in the Greater Toronto Area for a total purchase price of $158.6 million

  • On June 22, 2020, CAPREIT was included in the S&P/TSX 60 Composite index, a prestigious stock market index of 60 large companies listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange in 10 industry sectors

  • CAPREIT continues to invest in accretive opportunities, with total acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2020 amounting to $690 million comprising 2,847 suites and sites located in Canada, and $130 million comprising 415 suites located in the Netherlands

  • Total dispositions for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $57 million of two Canadian properties comprising of 194 suites and one commercial property owned by ERES

Strong Operating Results

  • CAPREIT has maintained a very high level of rent collection, with over 99% of rents collected year to date

  • On turnovers, monthly residential rents for the year ended December 31, 2020 increased by 7.9% on 18.7% of the Canadian portfolio, compared to an increase of 13.5% on 19.0% of the Canadian portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2019

  • On renewals, monthly residential rents for the year ended December 31, 2020 increased by 1.3% on 86.5% of the Canadian portfolio, compared to 2.1% on 85.9% of the Canadian portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2019. The reduced increases are primarily due to rent freezes enacted in April 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic

  • Net AMR for the stabilized portfolio as at December 31, 2020 increased by 3.1% compared to December 31, 2019 where it increased by 4.1%, while occupancies slightly decreased to 97.5%

  • Year-over-year NOI increased by 3.9% for the stabilized portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to a year-over-year NOI increase of 4.9% for the stabilized portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2019

  • NOI margin for the total portfolio increased to 65.5% for the year ended December 31, 2020 from 65.1% for the year ended December 31, 2019

  • NFFO per unit was up 6.3% for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to last year despite an increase of 7.9% of weighted average number of units outstanding

Strong and Flexible Balance Sheet

  • CAPREIT's financial position remains strong, with $121.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and $628.0 million of available liquidity on CAPREIT's Acquisition and Operating Facility

  • Management expects to raise between $850 million and $900 million in total mortgage renewals and refinancings for 2021, excluding financings on acquisitions

  • CAPREIT closed mortgage refinancing of $1,148.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, with top-ups of $783.4 million, a weighted average term to maturity of 10.2 years and a weighted average interest rate of 1.83%

  • For the year ended December 31, 2020 the fair value of investment properties increased by $1,904.2 million, primarily as a result of (i) capitalization rate compression based on recent market activity, (ii) increases in stabilized NOI, (iii) new acquisitions, (iv) the buyout of operating leases, (v) progress on the development pipeline, and (vi) foreign exchange gains on the European properties. Excluding the impact of net acquisitions and operating lease buyouts, the fair value of the Canadian portfolio increased by $749.9 million, or 6.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2020

"Despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we generated another record year in 2020 with solid portfolio growth, strong operating performance, an increase in NFFO, a conservative NFFO payout ratio, and the strongest liquidity position in our twenty-two year history,” commented Mark Kenney, President and CEO. “Looking ahead, we are confident that, as the pandemic eases through 2021 we will see even stronger growth and performance as we capitalize on the proven expertise of our people, the strength of our property portfolio, and the historic resiliency of the residential rental sector."

The rate of growth in stabilized Net AMR has been primarily due to (i) significant rental increases on turnover in the strong rental markets of the Netherlands and Ontario, slightly offset by an increase in vacancy seen in Nova Scotia, a currently weakening Alberta and Saskatchewan markets, both due to economic impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic and (ii) increases on renewals due to AGIs achieved in Ontario. Weighted average gross rent per square foot for Canadian residential suites was approximately $1.60 as at December 31, 2020.

Overall, suite turnovers in the Canadian residential suite portfolio (excluding co-ownerships) during the three months and year ended December 31, 2020 resulted in monthly rents increasing by approximately $84 or 5.9% and $107 or 7.9%, respectively, compared to an increase of approximately $170 or 13.1% and $167 or 13.5%, last year, primarily due to the strong rental markets in Ontario, Nova Scotia, and Québec. The reduced turnover increases are mainly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed in Section II of the 2020 Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) under The COVID-19 Pandemic.

Monthly rents on lease renewals on the Canadian residential portfolio (excluding co-ownerships) for the three months and year ended December 31, 2020 resulted in monthly rents increasing by approximately $24 or 1.8% and $17 or 1.3%, respectively, compared to an increase of approximately $25 or 2.0% and $25 or 2.1%, last year. The reduced renewal increases are mainly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic rent freezes as discussed in Section II of the 2020 MD&A under The COVID-19 Pandemic.

For the Netherlands portfolio, suite turnovers in the residential suite portfolio during the three months and year December 31, 2020 resulted in monthly rent increasing by approximately €105 or 12.3% and €82 or 9.3%, respectively, compared to an increase of €46 or 5.3% and €53 or 6.4%, last year. Monthly rents on lease renewals for the Netherlands portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2020 increased by approximately €19 or 2.3%, compared to €27 or 3.5% for the same periods last year.

Management estimates the weighted average Canadian residential market rents are approximately 20% higher than average occupied Canadian residential AMR of $1,311. This is an indicator of CAPREIT's mark-to-market potential on turnover, as well as its ability to sustain current revenue levels. However, the actual change in monthly rent on turnover will vary depending on the age of tenancy.

Estimated Net Rental Revenue Run-Rate

CAPREIT’s annualized net rental revenue run-rate as at December 31, 2020 grew to $868.6 million, up 7.1% from $810.9 million. Net rental revenue net of dispositions for the 12 months ended December 31, 2020 was $831.5 million (December 31, 2019 – $749.0 million). For further discussion regarding forecasts and guidance as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, please see Section II of the 2020 MD&A under The COVID-19 Pandemic for further details.

NOI

Stabilized properties for the year ended December 31, 2020 are defined as all properties owned by CAPREIT continuously since December 31, 2018, and therefore do not take into account the impact on performance of acquisitions or dispositions completed during 2020 and 2019.

Operating Revenues

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2020, total operating revenues for the total and stabilized portfolios increased compared to the same periods last year, due to increases in monthly rents on renewals and turnovers throughout the year and full year impact in 2020 from last year’s rental increases, slightly offset by increases in tenant inducements mainly in the Greater Toronto Area. Contributions from acquisitions further contributed to higher operating revenues for the total portfolio.

Operating Expenses

The stabilized operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2020 decreased compared to the same period last year, primarily due to decreased on-site costs and R&M costs partially offset by higher advertising expenses and realty taxes.

The stabilized operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 increased compared to last year primarily due to higher realty taxes, bad debt, insurance costs and advertising costs, partially offset by lower R&M costs and on-site costs. The increased realty taxes were due to higher property assessment values in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, and Québec. The increased bad debt was driven by the economic instability caused by the COVID-19 pandemic leading to some commercial tenants and residential tenants forgoing rent payments. The increased insurance costs were driven by higher replacement cost valuations, and overall increases in insurance rates. The increased advertising costs were also due to the COVID-19 pandemic in an effort to increase occupancies in some weakened markets.

NOI Margin

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, NOI margin for the total portfolio increased to 66.0%. For the year ended December 31, 2020, NOI margin for the total portfolio increased to 65.5%.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, basic NFFO per Unit increased by 6.2% compared to the same period last year, despite an approximate 5.4% increase in the weighted average number of units outstanding. For the year ended December 31, 2020, basic NFFO per Unit increased by 6.3% compared to the same period last year, despite an approximate 7.9% increase in the weighted average number of units outstanding resulting from the January, April and December 2019 equity offerings. 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 year ended December 31, 2020, CAPREIT made property capital investments (excluding head office assets) of $231.1 million compared to $221.2 million for 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 January 15, 2021, CAPREIT terminated its $65.0 million fully drawn, non-amortizing credit facility and its corresponding CCIR swap, prior to the original maturity date of June 28, 2021. On the same date, CAPREIT entered into a CCIR swap to (i) hedge existing mortgage payables of $69.7 million into €44.8 million and (ii) convert fixed Canadian dollar-based mortgage payments with interest rate of 0.82% for fixed euro-based payments with an interest rate of -0.07%. The new swap will mature on January 15, 2024.

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 February 24, 2021, 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.
Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained, or contained in documents incorporated by reference, in this press release constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of 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 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”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “intend”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, “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, Irish, Dutch, German and Belgian economies will generally experience growth, which, however, may be adversely impacted by the global economy and the ongoing health crisis related to the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and its direct or indirect impacts on the business of CAPREIT. These impacts may include the ability to enforce leases, perform capital expenditure work, increase rents and apply for above guideline increases, and obtain mortgage financings; that inflation will remain low; that interest rates will remain low in the medium term; 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. 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: public health crises, disease outbreaks, reporting investment properties at fair value, real property ownership, investment restrictions, operating risk, energy costs, environmental matters, catastrophic events, insurance, capital investments, indebtedness, taxation-related risks, government regulations, controls over financial reporting, other legal and regulatory risks, the nature of units of CAPREIT (“Trust Units”), unitholder liability, liquidity and price fluctuation of Trust Units, dilution, distributions, participation in CAPREIT’s distribution reinvestment plan, potential conflicts of interest, dependence on key personnel, general economic conditions, competition for residents, competition for real property investments, risks related to acquisitions, cyber security risk 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.sedar.com, under CAPREIT’s profile, as well as under Risks and Uncertainties section of the MD&A released on February 24, 2021.
