MISSISSAUGA, ON, Aug. 9, 2012 /CNW/ - Morguard Corporation (TSX: MRC) announced its financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • On April 18, 2012, the Company completed an initial public offering ("IPO") of trust units of Morguard  North American  Residential Real Estate Trust (the "Morguard Residential REIT");
  • Total revenues in Q2 2012 increased by 5.0% to $100.6 million compared to $95.8 million in 2011;

MORGUARD NORTH AMERICAN RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST
On April 18, 2012, the Company completed an IPO of trust units of the Morguard Residential REIT.  The offering raised gross proceeds of $75 million.  A total of 7,500,000 trust units were sold at a price of $10.00 per trust unit.  On April 24, 2012, the underwriters exercised in full their over-allotment option to purchase 750,000 additional trust units at a price of $10.00 per trust unit, which increased the total gross proceeds of the offering to $82.5 million.  The net proceeds received by Morguard (net of underwriters' commission) was $77.6 million.   The Company retained an effective interest in Morguard Residential REIT of 67.6%.  Upon completion of the IPO, the Company sold to subsidiaries of Morguard Residential REIT, 14 multi-unit residential rental properties located in Canada and 3 multi-unit residential properties located in the United States (the "Initial Properties"), that had a total IFRS net book value of $680.5 million at March 31, 2012 and Morguard Residential REIT has assumed mortgages and obligations totalling $358.3 million that are secured by the Initial Properties.

  • Higher NOI in Canadian multi-unit residential properties primarily as a result of higher rental rates and lower vacancy;
  • Higher NOI in Canadian retail properties predominantly due to an increase in occupancy;
  • Lower NOI in office and industrial primarily as a result of a decrease in occupancy at two office properties and higher legal cost relating to leases.
  • Lower NOI in U.S. multi residential properties primarily as a result of a decrease in occupancy;
  • Higher NOI in U.S. retail properties primarily as a result of increase in occupancy and higher rental rates at an unenclosed retail centre in Louisiana;
  • The change in the foreign exchange rate increased reported NOI by $0.4 million.
