/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

OTTAWA, Nov. 10, 2014 /CNW/ - InterRent Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX-IIP.UN) ("InterRent" or the "REIT") today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014. With InterRent's portfolio demonstrating strong sustainable results and with the REIT applying its disciplined approach to growing the portfolio, the Board of Trustees has approved a 10% increase to the monthly per unit distributions. The increase will be effective for the November distribution that is to be paid in December 2013.

Highlights

  • Monthly distribution has been increased by 10% effective with the November distribution that is to be paid in December 2014.  On an annual basis, this represents a distribution of $0.22 per unit.
  • Average monthly rent per suite for the stabilized portfolio increased to $944 (September 2014) from $913 (September 2013), an increase of 3.4%.
  • Gross rental revenue for the third quarter of 2014 increased by $0.7 million, or 4.6%, over Q3 2013 while operating revenue increased by $0.5 million, or 3.0% compared to Q3 2013. 
  • Gross rental revenue from stabilized operations for the third quarter of 2014 increased by $0.5 million, or 3.8%, over Q3 2013 while operating revenue increased by $0.3 million, or 2.0%. 
  • Economic vacancy decreased to 3.4% for September 2014 from 5.8% for June 2014, and was slightly lower than the 3.6% recorded in September 2013. The transition to a new rental operations methodology as well as continued repositioning efforts at the non-stabilized properties has resulted in an improvement of 2.4% in vacancy between June and September 2014.
  • NOI increased to $10.2 million for the quarter, or 61.5% of operating revenues, compared to $9.8 million, or 61.2%, for Q3 2013.
  • The weighted average interest rate on mortgage debt at the end of the quarter was 3.25% with an average life to maturity of 4.1 years. 
  • Funds from operations (FFO) for the quarter decreased by $0.2 million to $5.3 million (or $0.09 per unit) compared to $5.5 million (or $0.10 per unit) for Q3 2013.
  • Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) for the quarter decreased by $0.2 million.  AFFO was $0.08 per unit for the quarter which was the same as Q3 2013. 
  • The Trust acquired one property, comprising 334 suites, on July 28, 2014 for $25.0 million.

Results for the Quarter

Gross rental revenue for the quarter was $16.8 million, an increase of $0.7 million, or 4.6%, compared to Q3 2013. Operating revenue for the quarter was up $0.5 million to $16.5 million, or 3.0% compared to Q3 2013. The average monthly rent across the entire portfolio for September 2014 increased to $948 per suite from $922 (September 2013), an increase of 2.8%. 

On a stabilized portfolio basis (stabilized properties are those owned by the REIT continuously for 24 months), the average monthly rent per suite increased from $913 to $944 over the same period, an increase of 3.4%. Management expects to continue to grow revenues organically through moving to market rent on suite turnovers, guideline increases, continued roll-out of AGIs, as well as continuing to drive other ancillary revenue streams.

The September 2014 vacancy rate across the entire portfolio was 3.4%. "We are beginning to see the positive effects of our new rental operations model, which we believe better aligns rental operations to longer term value creation," said Mike McGahan, CEO.

Property operating costs for the three months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $2.9 million or 17.8% of operating revenue compared to $2.8 million or 17.6% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  As a percentage of operating revenue, operating costs increased by 0.2% as compared to Q3 2013 however as a percentage of gross rental revenue, operating costs were down slightly from 17.6% to 17.5% for the same period.

Property taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $2.2 million or 13.5% of operating revenue compared to $2.1 million or 13.3% of operating revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Similar to operating costs, as a percentage of gross rental revenue, property taxes were down slightly from 13.4% to 13.3%.

Utility costs for the three months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $1.2 million or 7.2% of operating revenue compared to $1.3 million or 7.9% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013. As a percentage of operating revenues and on a per suite basis, utility costs decreased over the same quarter last year.

NOI for the three months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $10.2 million or 61.5% of operating revenue compared to $9.8 million or 61.2% of operating revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in the quarter is as a result of growing the portfolio and increasing net revenue while controlling property operating costs and decreasing utilities as a percentage of revenue. In addition, the redevelopment properties in Ottawa and Hamilton had a positive contribution of $0.3 million to NOI in the third quarter of 2013 and no NOI contribution in the third quarter of 2014.   

The Board of Trustees is pleased to announce that they have approved the extension of the property management agreement for five years. As a result, the property management agreement will now be in place until September 30, 2019.

At the end of the quarter, the weighted average interest rate was 3.25% and the average life to maturity was approximately 4.1 years. The REIT regularly reviews mortgages and maturities in order to capitalize on the availability of long term funds at the historically low rates that we continue to experience.

*Non-GAAP Measures

InterRent prepares and releases unaudited quarterly and audited consolidated annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS (GAAP). In this and other earnings releases, as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP, InterRent also discloses and discusses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including NOI, FFO, AFFO, DI and EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures are further defined and discussed in the MD&A dated November 10, 2014, which should be read in conjunction with this press release. Since NOI, FFO, AFFO, DI and EBITDA are not determined by GAAP, they may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other issuers. InterRent has presented such non-GAAP measures as Management believes these measures are relevant measures of the ability of InterRent to earn and distribute cash returns to Unitholders and to evaluate InterRent's performance.  These non-GAAP measures should not be construed as alternatives to net income (loss) or cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of InterRent's performance.
