and Europe, respectively (December 31, 2023 – $17,616 and $11,912,
respectively, June 30, 2023 – $16,944 and $16,407, respectively).
(5) Includes $400,938 available on the Canadian
Acquisition and Operating Facility (December 31, 2023 – $340,059,
June 30, 2023 – $264,789) and $70,000 available on the unsecured
non-revolving construction and term credit facility to reduce
greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions ("GHG Reduction Facility")
(December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 – N/A).
"We achieved strong results again in the second
quarter of 2024, and we're especially excited about the progress
we've been making on our strategy," commented Mark Kenney,
President and Chief Executive Officer. "Since the first quarter,
we've closed on nearly $500 million worth of Canadian
multi-residential transactions, and we're pleased to see this
recycling increase the quality of our portfolio and the proportion
that is represented by recently built properties in Canada, which
is up to 13% as of today. We also completely disposed of our
remaining equity interest in IRES this past quarter, and we
recently announced the anticipated sale of our entire MHC
portfolio. We're looking forward to further simplifying our
business with this upcoming deal, and redeploying net proceeds into
highest-value, strategically aligned opportunities."
"Operationally, high occupancies, rent growth
and lower property operating costs as a percentage of operating
revenues together drove the 50 basis point expansion in our same
property NOI margin, which was 66.7% for the three months ended
June 30, 2024," added Stephen Co, Chief Financial Officer.
"Primarily due to acquisitions and higher same property NOI, partly
offset by dispositions and higher interest costs, our diluted FFO
per Unit increased by 9.2% to $0.644 for the current quarter. We're
proud of this performance as our overarching objective revolves
around enhancing earnings, and as a testament to that, we're
announcing an increase in our rate of distribution to $1.50 per
Unit on an annualized basis. We're eager to continue driving
incremental growth in returns for our Unitholders in the quarters
to come."
SUMMARY OF Q2 2024 RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Strategic Initiatives
Update
- CAPREIT continues to invest in
strategic opportunities that are accretive. For the three months
ended June 30, 2024, CAPREIT acquired two properties with 246
suites in Canada for a total gross purchase price of $108.8 million
(excluding transaction costs and other adjustments). For the six
months ended June 30, 2024, CAPREIT acquired three properties with
537 suites in Canada for a total gross purchase price of $238.8
million (excluding transaction costs and other adjustments).
Subsequent to quarter-end, CAPREIT acquired four properties with
435 suites in Canada for a total gross purchase price of $278.7
million (excluding transaction costs and other adjustments).
- For the three months ended June 30,
2024, CAPREIT disposed of 123 suites which were comprised of two
non-core properties located in Canada, a property in the
Netherlands with 66 suites and 53 single residential suites located
in the Netherlands, for a total gross sale price of $93.3 million
(excluding transaction costs and other adjustments). For the six
months ended June 30, 2024, CAPREIT disposed of 646 suites for a
total gross sale price of $187.9 million (excluding transaction
costs and other adjustments) worth of non-core property
dispositions. Subsequent to quarter-end, CAPREIT disposed of an
additional 602 suites in Canada and the Netherlands along with an
office building which is part of a residential property in the
Netherlands for a total gross sale price of $189.3 million
(excluding transaction costs and other adjustments).
- On July 15, 2024, CAPREIT announced
that it has entered into an agreement to sell its MHC portfolio for
a gross sale price of $740 million (excluding transaction costs and
other adjustments). The gross sale price will be satisfied in part
through an interest-only vendor takeback ("VTB") mortgage of $140
million, bearing interest at a rate of 3.0% per annum for a
five-year term, with the remaining $600 million to be satisfied in
cash. The transaction is subject to compliance with the Competition
Act (Canada) and other closing conditions customary in transactions
of this nature. Subject to the receipt of all regulatory approvals
and satisfaction of customary closing conditions, closing is
anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2024. There can be no
assurance that all conditions to closing this transaction will be
satisfied or waived.
- During the three months ended June
30, 2024, no Trust Units were purchased for cancellation under the
Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") program. During the six months
ended June 30, 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 $27.1 million.
- During the three and six months
ended June 30, 2024, CAPREIT transacted on the sale of Irish
Residential Properties REIT plc ("IRES") shares totalling $80.3
million and $138.2 million, respectively. As a result, CAPREIT no
longer has an interest in IRES as of June 30, 2024. As at June 30,
2024, $39.7 million of cash was held in Ireland. Subsequent to June
30, 2024, CAPREIT repatriated substantially all of the net proceeds
from Ireland to Canada, and primarily used the funds for repayment
towards the Acquisition and Operating Facility.
- CAPREIT's strategy to upgrade the
quality and diversification of the property portfolio through
repositioning and capital recycling initiatives to grow earnings
and cash flow potential continues for 2024. In light of
dispositions that closed to date and the announced dispositions
expected to close later this year, CAPREIT is on track to meet or
exceed the disposition target of over $400 million of non-core
Canadian properties during 2024 and will continue to look for
opportunities to recycle non-core Canadian properties during the
remainder of the year. However, there can be no assurance that the
target will be met or exceeded.
- On August 7, 2024, the Board of
Trustees approved an increase in monthly distributions from $0.1208
to $0.125 per Trust Unit, or from $1.45 to $1.50 per Trust Unit on
an annualized basis. The increase is effective with the August 2024
distribution payable on September 16, 2024 to Unitholders of record
as at August 30, 2024.
Operating Results
- On turnovers and renewals, monthly
residential rents for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024
increased by 7.5% and 5.0%, respectively, for the Canadian
residential portfolio, compared to 7.3% and 4.7%, respectively, for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
- Same property Occupied AMR for the
Canadian residential portfolio as at June 30, 2024 increased by
6.5% compared to June 30, 2023, while same property occupancy for
the Canadian residential portfolio decreased to 98.3% (June 30,
2023 - 98.7%).
- NOI for the same property portfolio
increased by 7.0% and 7.3%, respectively, for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same periods last year.
Additionally, NOI margin for the same property portfolio increased
to 66.7%, up 0.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and
increased to 65.3%, up 0.5%, for the six months ended June 30,
2024, compared to the same periods last year.
- Diluted FFO per unit was up 9.2%
and 8.3%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30,
2024, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to
contributions from acquisitions and higher same property NOI,
partially offset by dispositions and higher interest expense on
credit facilities payable and mortgages payable.
Balance Sheet Highlights
- CAPREIT's financial position
remains strong, with approximately $478.5 million of available
Canadian liquidity, comprising $7.6 million of Canadian cash and
cash equivalents, $400.9 million of available capacity on its
Canadian Acquisition and Operating Facility and $70.0 million on
its GHG Reduction Facility.
- To date, CAPREIT completed or
committed mortgage financings totalling $409.9 million, with a
weighted average term to maturity of 7.5 years and a weighted
average interest rate of 4.51%.
- For the six months ended June 30,
2024, the overall carrying value of investment properties
(excluding assets held for sale) increased by $68.5 million,
primarily due to net acquisitions of $128.6 million, property
capital investments of $101.9 million and fair value gains of $85.2
million, which were partially offset by transfers to assets held
for sale of $254.0 million. The overall carrying value of
investment properties (excluding assets held for sale) as at June
30, 2024 was $16.6 billion compared to $16.5 billion as at December
31, 2023.
- Diluted NAV per unit as at June 30,
2024 increased to $55.05 from $54.79 as at March 31, 2024, and from
$54.23 as at December 31, 2023, primarily reflecting an increase in
investment property values in CAPREIT's Canadian and ERES
portfolio.

(1) Same property Occupied AMR and
occupancy include all properties held as at June 30, 2023, but
exclude properties disposed of or held for sale as at June 30,
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 $1.86 as at
June 30, 2024, increased from $1.78 as at June 30, 2023.

As the Netherlands lease renewals occur once a
year in July, there were no changes in lease renewals for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 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 5.6%. In the prior
year period, ERES served tenant notices to 6,659 suites,
representing 97% of the residential portfolio, across which the
average rental increase due to indexation and household income
adjustment is 4.0%.
Net Operating Income
Same properties for the three and six months
ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2024.

Operating
Revenues
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, same
property operating revenues increased by $15.5 million, primarily
driven by increases in monthly rents on turnovers and renewals.
Total operating revenues increased by $14.3 million during the same
period, due to $15.6 million of operational growth, primarily on
the same property operating portfolio and to a lesser extent on
assets held for sale as at June 30, 2024 and a $4.8 million
increase from acquisitions, partially offset by $6.1 million lower
revenues due to dispositions.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, same
property operating revenues increased by $31.8 million, primarily
driven by increases in monthly rents on turnovers and renewals.
Total operating revenues increased by $29.2 million during the same
period, due to $32.1 million of operational growth, primarily on
the same property operating portfolio and to a lesser extent on
assets held for sale as at June 30, 2024 and a $9.2 million
increase from acquisitions, partially offset by $12.1 million lower
revenues due to dispositions.
Operating Expenses
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024
operating costs increased for the total and same property portfolio
compared to the same periods last year primarily due to increase in
other operating expenses. Other operating expenses increased
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.

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 August 7, 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 August 7, 2024.
Subject to applicable law, CAPREIT does not undertake any
obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
information.

(1) The adjustment is based on
applying the 35% weighted average ownership held by ERES
non-controlling unitholders (June 30, 2023 – 35%).(2)
Primarily includes transaction costs and other adjustments on
dispositions and amortization of property, plant and equipment
("PP&E") and right-of-use asset. For the three and six months
ended June 30, 2024, includes $1,279 and $1,922, respectively, of
current income taxes on the dispositions of ERES property and
single residential suites. (3) For the three and six
months ended June 30, 2023, includes $nil and $86, respectively, of
accelerated vesting of previously granted unit-based
compensation.(4) During the three and six months ended
June 30, 2024, nil and three million ERES unit options were
forfeited, respectively, upon senior management termination
totalling $nil and $2,284, respectively (three and six months ended
June 30, 2023 ‑ $nil).(5) FFO per unit – diluted is
calculated using FFO during the period divided by weighted average
number of units – diluted. (6) FFO payout ratio is
calculated using total distributions declared during the period
divided by FFO.

(1) CAPREIT accounts for the
non-controlling interest in ERES as a liability, measured at the
redemption amount, as defined by the ERES DOT, of ERES's units not
owned by CAPREIT. The adjustment is made so that the
non-controlling interest in ERES is measured at ERES's disclosed
NAV, rather than the redemption amount. The table below summarizes
the calculation of adjustment to ERES non-controlling interest as
at June 30, 2024, December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023:
