Operating Revenues
For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014, total operating revenues increased by 3.3% and 6.2%, 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 quarter and year ended December 31, 2014, ancillary revenues, including parking, laundry and antenna income, rose by 8.3% and 8.8%, 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, 2014 increased to $486.5 million, up 2.1% from $476.4 million as at December 31, 2013 primarily due to acquisitions completed since 2013 and strong increases in average monthly rents. Net rental revenue run-rate net of dispositions for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 was $478.1 million (2013 - $447.5 million).

The lower rate of growth in average monthly rents on lease renewals during 2014 compared to the prior year is primarily due to the lower mandated guideline increases for 2014 (Ontario - 0.8%, British Columbia - 2.2%), compared to the higher guideline increases in 2013 (Ontario - 2.5%, British Columbia - 3.8%), partially offset by increases due to above guideline increases ("AGI") achieved in Ontario in 2014. Increased portfolio diversification helped mitigate the lower guideline increases. Management continues to pursue AGI applications where it believes increases are supported by market conditions above the annual guideline to raise average monthly rents on lease renewals. For 2015, the permitted guideline increase has been increased to 1.6% in Ontario and to 2.5% in British Columbia.

Operating Expenses
Overall operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenues improved to 40.0% and 40.0%, respectively, for the three months and year ended December 31, 2014 compared to 46.8% and 42.6%, respectively, for the same periods last year, due to lower realty taxes and repairs and maintenance ("R&M") costs as a percentage of operating revenues.
Net Operating Income
In the three months ended December 31, 2014, NOI improved by $10.8 million or 16.3%, and the NOI margin increased to 60.0% from 53.2% for last year. For the year ended December 31, 2014, NOI increased by $30.0 million or 11.0%, and the NOI margin increased to 60.0% compared to 57.4% last year. The increase in NOI margin for the year ended December 31, 2014 was primarily the result of higher operating revenues, lower realty taxes and R&M costs partially offset by higher utility costs.
For the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2014, operating revenues for stabilized suites and sites increased 2.4% and 2.8% respectively, while operating expenses decreased 13.2% and 3.5%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. As a result, for the year ended December 31, 2014, stabilized NOI increased by a significant 16.4% and 7.5%, 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:
- Maintained a conservative ratio of total debt to gross book value of 46.49% as at December 31, 2014;
- Debt service and interest coverage ratios for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 improved to 1.61 times and 2.82 times, respectively, compared to 1.54 times and 2.62 times;
- As at December 31, 2014, 95.7% (December 31, 2013 - 93.9%) of CAPREIT's mortgage portfolio was insured by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation ("CMHC"), excluding the mortgages on CAPREIT's MHC land lease sites, resulting in improved spreads on mortgages and overall lower interest costs than conventional mortgages.
- The effective portfolio weighted average interest rate on mortgages has steadily declined to 3.66% as at December 31, 2014 from 3.76% as at December 31, 2013, resulting in significant potential interest rate savings in future years;
- Management expects to raise between $280 million and $330 million in total mortgage renewals and refinancings in 2015;
- The weighted average term to maturity of the mortgage portfolio has improved to 6.3 years as at December 31, 2014 from 6.0 years at December 31, 2013;
- As at December 31, 2014, CAPREIT has investment properties with a fair value of $217 million that are not encumbered by mortgages and secure only the Acquisition and Operating Facility. Unencumbered investment properties with a fair value over $52 million are expected to be financed in 2015 reducing the total unencumbered investment properties to approximately $165 million;
Property Capital Investments
During the year ended December 31, 2014, CAPREIT made property capital investments (excluding disposed properties, head office assets, tenant improvements and signage) of $145.2 million as compared to $157.8 million in last year. For the full 2015 year, CAPREIT expects to complete property capital investments of approximately $145 million to $155 million, including approximately $44 million targeted at acquisitions completed since January 1, 2011 and approximately $15 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 also 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 Events
On January 28, 2015, CAPREIT announced that it had, through a wholly-owned Irish subsidiary, completed the acquisition of the Rockbrook Portfolio, consisting of 270 residential suites and approximately 50,214 square feet of mixed-use commercial space located in Dublin, Ireland for a purchase price (including VAT) of approximately EUR87.3 million and other acquisition costs of approximately EUR2.5 million. The purchase was funded through CAPREIT's Acquisition and Operating Facility.
The Rockbrook Portfolio is the first portfolio CAPREIT is acquiring for IRES under the previously announced agreement entered into between IRES and CAPREIT on November 21, 2014 and amended on February 9, 2015 (the "Pipeline Agreement"). The Pipeline Agreement was amended on February 9, 2015 to remove the proposed 2.5 year extension to be made to the investment management agreement but to include an underwriting fee of 1.0% of the purchase price of each property investment acquired under the Pipeline Agreement. CAPREIT will receive the purchase price and related acquisition cost and an underwriting fee of 1.0% of the purchase price of any assets acquired by CAPREIT under the Pipeline Agreement at such time as the assets are acquired by IRES. The portfolio is intended to be transferred to IRES conditional on, among other things, IRES shareholder approval of the Pipeline Agreement and IRES having sufficient funds available.

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 17, 2015, 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.
Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained, or contained in documents incorporated by reference, in this press release constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of 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, projected costs, capital investments, 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 and capital investment strategy 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", "should", "expect", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "intend", "estimate", "predict", "potential", "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 Ireland economies will generally experience growth, however, may be adversely impacted by the global economy; that inflation will remain low; that interest rates will remain low in the medium term; 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 will grow at levels similar to the rate of inflation on renewal; that rental rates on turnovers will remain stable; 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.
