statements under the heading "Non-IFRS Measures" and the
reconciliations provided in this press release. (2) Excludes
liabilities related to assets held for sale, as
applicable.(3) Based on the trailing four
quarters.(4) Consists of $9,264 and $14,101 in Canada
and Europe, respectively (December 31, 2023 – $17,616 and $11,912,
respectively, September 30, 2023 – $31,015 and $17,251,
respectively). (5) Includes $228,674 available on the
Canadian Acquisition and Operating Facility (December 31, 2023 –
$340,059, September 30, 2023 – $257,875) and $66,325 available on
the unsecured non-revolving construction and term credit facility
to reduce greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions ("GHG Reduction
Facility") (December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023 – N/A).
"We're currently in one of the most
transformational periods in CAPREIT's history, and we're pleased
with the ground we've been covering on the execution of our
strategy," commented Mark Kenney, President and Chief Executive
Officer. "So far this year, we've completed over $1 billion worth
of strategic transactions across Canada and Europe, and we've
announced nearly $2 billion in additional non-core dispositions
that are expected to close by early 2025. This activity is
unprecedented for CAPREIT, but it speaks to our commitment to
repositioning our diversified portfolio and our focus on high
quality Canadian apartment properties. We're excited to be
optimizing and evolving into an even better place to live, work and
invest, and we're looking forward to CAPREIT's next chapter."
"Our Canadian apartment portfolio operationally
performed well again this third quarter, with same property average
monthly rent increasing by 6.4% versus the comparative period end,
and our same property NOI margin expanding by 30 basis points to
66.1% for the current quarter," added Stephen Co, Chief Financial
Officer. "This healthy organic growth was partly offset by higher
interest costs, and our diluted FFO per Unit increased by 3.3% to
$0.659 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Our leverage
remained low at 40.9% as of period end, and we continue to have
ample access to capital, which puts us in a prime spot to execute
quickly on strategic transactions. With the upcoming closing of
announced ancillary dispositions, this competitive financial
position is expected to further strengthen, thus supporting ongoing
progress on our modernization strategy."
SUMMARY OF Q3 2024 RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Strategic Initiatives
Update
- CAPREIT continues to invest in
strategic opportunities that are accretive. For the three months
ended September 30, 2024, 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 nine
months ended September 30, 2024, CAPREIT acquired seven properties
with 972 suites in Canada for a total gross purchase price of
$517.5 million (excluding transaction costs and other
adjustments).
- For the three months ended
September 30, 2024, CAPREIT disposed of 764 suites which were
comprised of four non-core properties located in Canada; land
adjacent to an existing residential building owned by CAPREIT;
multiple residential properties in the Netherlands with 464 suites;
three single residential suites located in the Netherlands; one
office building in the Netherlands and one commercial building in
Germany, for a total gross sale price of $382.4 million (excluding
transaction costs and other adjustments). For the nine months ended
September 30, 2024, CAPREIT disposed of 1,877 suites for a total
gross sale price of $570.3 million (excluding transaction costs and
other adjustments) of non-core property dispositions. Subsequent to
quarter-end, CAPREIT disposed of an additional 110 suites in Canada
for a total gross sale price of $33.5 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.
- On September 16, 2024, CAPREIT
announced that certain subsidiaries of ERES have entered into two
separate agreements to sell a total of 3,179 residential suites in
the Netherlands for gross proceeds (net of estimated adjustments)
totalling approximately $1.1 billion. The gross sale price is
expected to be settled in cash, with net proceeds expected to be
used in part to repay approximately $635 million in associated
mortgages outstanding. Remaining net proceeds are intended to be
used for the repayment of amounts on the ERES Credit Facility, the
prepayment of certain mortgages maturing in the near term and the
payment of a special cash distribution by ERES. Subject to the
satisfaction of closing conditions, closings are anticipated by
early Q1 2025.
- During the three months ended
September 30, 2024, no Trust Units were purchased for cancellation
under the Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") program. During the
nine months ended September 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.
- 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.
- 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 was effective with the August
2024 distribution paid 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 nine months ended September 30,
2024 increased by 7.4% and 5.7%, respectively, for the Canadian
residential portfolio, compared to 7.4% and 5.3%, respectively, for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
- Same property Occupied AMR for the
Canadian residential portfolio as at September 30, 2024 increased
by 6.4% compared to September 30, 2023, while same property
occupancy for the Canadian residential portfolio decreased to 98.1%
(September 30, 2023 - 98.9%).
- NOI for the same property portfolio
increased by 6.0% and 6.8%, respectively, for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same periods last
year. Additionally, NOI margin for the same property portfolio
increased to 66.1%, up 0.3%, for the three months ended September
30, 2024, and increased to 65.1%, up 0.5%, for the nine months
ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same periods last
year.
- Diluted FFO per unit was up 3.3%
and 6.5%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2024, compared to the same period last year,
primarily due to contributions from acquisitions and higher same
property NOI, partially offset by dispositions, lower other income
and higher interest expense on credit facilities payable and
mortgages payable.
Balance Sheet Highlights
- CAPREIT's financial position
remains strong, with approximately $304.3 million of available
Canadian liquidity, comprising $9.3 million of Canadian cash and
cash equivalents, $228.7 million of available capacity on its
Canadian Acquisition and Operating Facility and $66.3 million on
its GHG Reduction Facility.
- To date, CAPREIT completed or
committed mortgage financings totalling $539.9 million, with a
weighted average term to maturity of 7.4 years and a weighted
average interest rate of 4.33%.
- For the nine months ended September
30, 2024, $2.1 billion of investment properties from ERES and the
MHC portfolio have been transferred to assets held for sale. The
impact of the transfer on the carrying value of investment property
was partially offset by net acquisitions of $255.4 million;
property capital investments of $164.4 million; fair value gains of
$156.7 million; and foreign exchange translation and other for
$71.7 million. The overall carrying value of investment properties
(excluding assets held for sale) as at September 30, 2024 was $15.1
billion compared to $16.5 billion as at December 31, 2023.
- Diluted NAV per unit as at
September 30, 2024 increased to $55.78 from $55.05 as at June 30,
2024, and from $54.23 as at December 31, 2023, primarily reflecting
an increase in investment property values in CAPREIT's Canadian and
European portfolio.

(1) Same property Occupied AMR and
occupancy include all properties held as at September 30, 2023, but
exclude properties disposed of or held for sale as at September 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.
Occupancy for the total portfolio as at
September 30, 2024 decreased by 1.1% to 97.3% compared to September
30, 2023. Occupancy for the total Canadian residential portfolio as
at September 30, 2024 decreased by 0.9% to 98.0% compared to
September 30, 2023. CAPREIT views this as a transitory vacancy
trend influenced by market conditions. As part of CAPREIT's
strategic approach, CAPREIT aims to manage vacancies in high-demand
and high velocity markets in order to grow Occupied AMR to align
with prevailing market conditions. Occupancy for the Netherlands
portfolio as at September 30, 2024 decreased by 3.6% to 95.1%
compared to September 30, 2023, primarily due to suites
intentionally held vacant to maximize value and for property and
unit dispositions.
The weighted average gross rent per square foot
for total Canadian residential suites was approximately $1.94 as at
September 30, 2024, increased from $1.81 as at September 30,
2023.

Net Operating Income
Same properties for the three and nine months

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 September 30, 2024.

Operating
Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2024,
same property operating revenues increased by $12.4 million,
primarily driven by increases in monthly rents on turnovers and
renewals, partially offset by decrease in occupancy. Total
operating revenues increased by $14.1 million during the same
period, due to $13.8 million of operational growth, primarily on
the same property operating portfolio and to a lesser extent on
assets held for sale as at September 30, 2024 and a $7.7 million
increase from acquisitions, partially offset by $7.4 million lower
revenues due to dispositions.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024,
same property operating revenues increased by $40.5 million,
primarily driven by increases in monthly rents on turnovers and
renewals, partially offset by decrease in occupancy. Total
operating revenues increased by $43.3 million during the same
period, due to $45.3 million of operational growth, primarily on
the same property operating portfolio and to a lesser extent on
assets held for sale as at September 30, 2024 and a $16.9 million
increase from acquisitions, partially offset by $18.9 million lower
revenues due to dispositions.
Operating Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2024,
other operating expenses for the total and same property portfolio
increased compared to the same period last year, primarily due to
higher R&M costs and to a lesser extent higher expected credit
losses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, other
operating expenses for total and same property portfolio increased
compared to the same period last year, primarily due to higher
R&M costs, and to a lesser extent higher insurance costs and
expected credit losses. Higher R&M costs are due to 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 November 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 November 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 (September 30, 2023 –
35%).(2) Primarily includes transaction costs and other
adjustments on dispositions and amortization of property, plant and
equipment ("PP&E"), right-of-use asset and enterprise resource
planning ("ERP") implementation costs. For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2024, includes $140 and $2,062,
respectively, of current income taxes on the dispositions of ERES
properties and single residential suites.(3) For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, includes $679 and
$765, respectively, of accelerated vesting of previously granted
unit-based compensation.(4) During the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2024, nil and three million ERES unit
options were forfeited, respectively, upon senior management
termination totalling $nil and $2,284, respectively (three and nine
months ended September 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) Includes deferred income tax
liability classified as liabilities related to assets held for
sale.(2) 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 September 30, 2024, December
31, 2023 and September 30, 2023.
