"2012 was our most active year to date as we generated record growth and record operating and financial performance," commented Thomas Schwartz, President and CEO. "With the significant expansion and enhanced diversification of our property portfolio, the proven success of our asset and property management strategies, and the continuing strong fundamentals in the Canadian residential rental real estate sector, we expect this strong performance will continue."

Operating Revenues

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2012, total operating revenues increased by 18.6% and 13.9%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year primarily due to the contribution from acquisitions, higher average monthly rents, and continuing strong occupancies. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2012, ancillary revenues, including parking, laundry and antenna income, rose by 13.8% and 8.2%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year, due to contributions from acquisitions and Management's continued focus on maximizing the revenue potential of its property portfolio.

CAPREIT's annualized net rental revenue run-rate as at December 31, 2012 increased to $429.8 million, up 19.0% from $361.3 million as of December 31, 2011 primarily due to acquisitions completed within the past twelve months and strong rental growth. Net rental revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 was $386.3 million (2011 - $343.1 million).

(1)	Prior year's comparable AMR and occupancy have been restated for properties disposed of between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012.

Average monthly rents for properties owned prior to December 31, 2011 increased as at December 31, 2012 to $ 1,018 from $990 as at December 31, 2011, an increase of 2.8% from last year. As at December 31, 2012, occupancy remained strong at 98.2%. Average monthly rents for total portfolio residential properties increased by 2.1% as at December 31, 2012 compared to the same period last year while occupancy remained strong at 97.8% due to ongoing successful sales and marketing strategies and continued strength in the residential rental sector in the majority of CAPREIT's regional markets. Average monthly rents for MHC land lease sites decreased compared to prior year due to the acquisitions in the second quarter of 2012 being in certain lower rent geographic regions. Occupancy remained stable at 99.2% as at December 31, 2012.

(1)	Percentage of suites turned over or renewed during the period based on the total number of residential suites (excluding co-ownerships) held at the end of the period.

The higher rate of growth in average monthly rents on lease renewals during the year is primarily due to the higher guideline increases for 2012 (Ontario - 3.1%, British Columbia - 4.3%), which compares more favourably to the permitted guideline increases in 2011 (Ontario - 0.7%, British Columbia - 2.3%) as well as above guideline increases ("AGI") applied. Management continues to pursue applications for AGIs where it believes increases are supported by market conditions above the annual guideline to raise average monthly rents on lease renewals. For 2013, the permitted guideline increase in Ontario and British Columbia have been set at 2.5% and 3.8%, respectively.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased for the three months and year ended December 31, 2012 to 44.1% from 44.4% and 42.3% from 43.0% respectively, for the same periods last year. The improvement is primarily due to: (i) the diversification of the portfolio into regions with lower taxation rates, (ii) lower utility costs, and (iii) successful energy-saving initiatives and enhanced procurement strategies.

Net Operating Income

In the fourth quarter of 2012, NOI improved by $10.1 million or 19.2%, and the NOI margin increased to 55.9% from 55.6% for last year. For the year ended December 31, 2012, NOI increased by $31.8 million or 15.4%, and the NOI margin improved to 57.7% from 57.0% for the same period last year. The significant improvements in NOI were primarily the result of acquisitions completed in the last 12 month period, and the combination of higher operating revenues and lower operating expenses.

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2012, operating revenues for stabilized suites and sites increased for both periods 2.2%, and operating expenses increased 1.2% and decreased 0.2%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. For the three months and year ended December 31 2012, stabilized NOI increased by 3.0% and 4.0%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year.

Financial Strength

Management believes CAPREIT's strong balance sheet and liquidity position will enable it to continue to take advantage of acquisition and property capital investment opportunities over the long term.

CAPREIT is achieving its financing goals as demonstrated by the following key indicators:

• The ratio of total debt to gross book value as at December 31, 2012 improved to 47.25% compared to 50.27% for last year;
  
  
• Debt service and interest coverage ratios for the four quarters ended December 31, 2012 improved to 1.52 times and 2.51 times compared to 1.38 times and 2.20 times, respectively, for last year;
  
  
• At December 31, 2012, 92.9% (December 31, 2011 - 96.5%) of CAPREIT's mortgage portfolio was insured by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation ("CMHC"), excluding the mortgages on CAPREIT's manufactured home communities land lease sites, resulting in improved spreads on mortgages and overall lower interest costs than conventional mortgages. During the current year, on certain acquisitions CAPREIT assumed conventional mortgages, resulting in a decrease of CAPREIT's mortgage portfolio insured by CMHC compared to last year. Management expects to convert these mortgages to CMHC-insured mortgages in due course;
  
  
• The effective portfolio weighted average interest rate on mortgages has steadily declined from 4.48% as at December 31, 2011, to 3.87% as at December 31, 2012, which will result in significant interest rate savings in future years;
  
  
• Management expects to raise between $575 million and $625 million in total mortgage renewals and refinancings in 2013;
  
  
• As at December 31, 2012, the Bridge Loan was fully repaid from the net proceeds of the equity offering completed on December 4, 2012.
  
  

Property Capital Investment Plan

During the year ended December 31, 2012, CAPREIT made property capital investments (excluding disposed properties, head office assets, tenant improvements and signage) of $129.8 million as compared to $116.6 million for last year. For the full 2013 year, CAPREIT expects to complete property capital investments of approximately $160 million to $170 million, including approximately $67 million targeted at acquisitions completed over the past 2 years and approximately $13 million in high-efficiency boilers and other energy-saving initiatives.

Property capital investments include suite improvements, common areas and equipment, which generally tend to increase NOI more quickly. CAPREIT continues to invest in energy-saving initiatives, including boilers, energy-efficient lighting systems, and water-saving programs, which permit CAPREIT to mitigate potentially higher increases in utility and R&M costs and significantly improve overall portfolio NOI.

Subsequent Event

On January 31, 2013, CAPREIT completed the acquisition of a mid-tier apartment complex in Calgary, Alberta consisting of six three-storey buildings totalling 263 residential suites. The purchase price of $47.3 million was satisfied by the assumption of an existing $7.2 million mortgage bearing interest at 6.95% maturing in October 2017, with the remaining balance funded from CAPREIT's Acquisition and Operating Facility.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

CAPREIT prepares and releases unaudited quarterly and audited consolidated annual financial statements prepared 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 also discloses and discusses certain non-IFRS financial measures, including Net Rental Revenue Run-Rate, NOI, FFO, NFFO and applicable per Unit amounts and payout ratios. These non-IFRS measures are further defined and discussed in the MD&A released on February 26, 2013, which should be read in conjunction with this press release. Since Net Rental Revenue Run-Rate, NOI, FFO and NFFO are not determined by IFRS, they may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other issuers. CAPREIT has presented such non-IFRS measures as Management believes these non-IFRS measures are relevant measures of the ability of CAPREIT to earn and distribute cash returns to Unitholders and to evaluate CAPREIT's performance. A reconciliation of Net Income and such non-IFRS measures including Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") is included in this press release. These non-IFRS measures should not be construed as alternatives to net income (loss) or cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of CAPREIT's performance.
