  • Interest coverage ratio and indebtedness coverage ratio at 2.23 times during the First Quarter was slightly higher than 2.21 times during the previous quarter.
  • The Fund's weighted average interest rate on mortgages was 2.54% as of March 31, 2016 and the weighted average term to maturity was 4.48 years.
  • Indebtedness to gross book value was 67.7% and within the Fund's targeted leverage range of 60-70%.

Operating Results

During the First Quarter, property revenues were $4,520 and NOI was $2,627.  Excluding The Reserves at Alafaya ("Alafaya") which was acquired on July 2, 2015 and not included in the Forecast, revenue and NOI were $3,499 and $2,077, respectively, which was in-line with Forecast. NOI was $2,627 and in-line with Forecast.

Portfolio occupancy was 92.9% during the First Quarter which was within the Fund's targeted occupancy range.  The Fund had an average rental rate per suite for the First Quarter equal to $1,202 (actual dollars) compared to the previous quarter of $1,191 (actual dollars) representing an increase of 3.7% on an annualized basis.  Since the Funds inception, rents have increased by an annualized 5.0%.  

Financial Position

As of March 31, 2016, the Fund's indebtedness to gross book value was 67.7%. The interest coverage ratio and indebtedness coverage ratio for the First Quarter improved to 2.23 times from 2.21 times in the previous quarter. The weighted average interest rate on the Fund's mortgages payable increased to 2.54% from 2.18% in the previous quarter due to an increase in the U.S. 30 day LIBOR rate and the weighted average term to maturity increased significantly to 4.48 years as a result of the refinancing of the Verano mortgage with a seven year term to maturity. The Fund's AFFO payout ratio for the First Quarter further improved from 74.6% in the fourth quarter of 2015 to 71.3% as a result of continued NOI growth and contributions from Alafaya.

Subsequent Events

On April 18, 2016, the Fund repaid $300 of the mezzanine loan associated with Pure Living.  This repayment lowered the Funds weighted average interest rate on all loans payable to 3.00%.
