Tricon Completes a Year of Record Growth and Delivers Strong Operational Results in Q4 2022

Tricon Residential Inc. (NYSE: TCN, TSX: TCN) ("Tricon" or the "Company"), an owner and operator of single-family rental homes in the U.S. Sun Belt and multi-family rental apartments in Canada, announced today its consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2022.

All financial information is presented in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

The Company reported strong operational and financial results in the fourth quarter and for the full year, including the following highlights:

  • Net income from continuing operations was $55.9 million in Q4 2022; basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.19 and $0.11, respectively;
  • Core funds from operations ("Core FFO") for Q4 2022 increased by 112.2% year-over-year to $96.8 million and Core FFO per share grew by 106.7% year-over-year to $0.31, driven by net operating income ("NOI") growth in the single-family rental home business, solid operating performance, and the inclusion of performance fees related to the sale of the U.S. multi-family rental portfolio;1
  • Same home NOI for the single-family rental portfolio in Q4 2022 grew by 9.7% year-over-year and same home NOI margin increased by 1.8% to a record 69.8%. Same home occupancy increased in Q4 by 0.2% year-over-year to 98.0% and blended rent growth was 7.4% (comprised of new lease rent growth of 11.5% and renewal rent growth of 6.8%). In addition, Tricon's continued focus on resident retention led to a record-low annualized same home turnover rate of 12.2% in Q4. For the full year, same home NOI grew by 10.4% and same home NOI margin increased by 1.2% to 68.6%;1
  • The Company acquired 815 homes during the quarter at an average price of $331,000 per home (including up-front renovations) for a total acquisition cost of $270 million, of which Tricon's proportionate share was $84 million. For the full year, Tricon acquired a record 7,227 homes, expanding its portfolio by 23.2%;
  • Positive trends continued into early 2023, with same home rent growth of 7.3% in January 2023, including 13.9% growth on new leases and 6.6% growth on renewals, while same home occupancy was stable at 97.4% and same home turnover remained low at 16.6%;
  • On October 18, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its remaining 20% equity interest in its U.S. multi-family rental portfolio, generating proceeds of $319.3 million, including $99.9 million of performance fees (half of which are payable to participants in LTIP and management co-investment plans); and
  • On October 13, 2022, the Company announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") had approved its notice of intention to make a normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) to repurchase up to 2,500,000 of its common shares trading on the TSX, the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and/or alternative Canadian trading systems during the twelve-month period ending on October 17, 2023. During Q4, the Company repurchased 338,100 of its common shares on the TSX and 339,566 common shares on the NYSE under the NCIB for a total of $5.4 million.

In addition to strong operational and financial results, Tricon achieved several significant strategic milestones in the fourth quarter:

  • On October 20, 2022, the Company announced an industry-leading Bill of Rights for single-family residents, the first of its kind among single-family rental housing providers in the United States. This measure underscores Tricon’s resident-first approach and highlights the Company’s mission to support the well-being of its residents. The Tricon Resident Bill of Rights outlines the Company’s commitment to providing quality, move-in-ready homes with caring and reliable service; and
  • In December, Tricon amended its $500 million corporate credit facility to incorporate Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") targets and convert it to a Sustainability-linked Loan ("SLL"). This credit facility, which was undrawn as of December 31, 2022, provides Tricon with liquidity to pursue the growth of its single-family rental business. The SLL structure links the borrowing cost directly to the Company's performance in three priority areas of its ESG strategy: (i) increasing the percentage of homes with energy efficiency upgrades in Tricon's single-family home rental portfolio, (ii) increasing the number of multi-family residential buildings with LEED Gold certification, and (iii) increasing participation in Tricon Vantage, a market-leading program aimed at providing our U.S. residents with tools and resources to set financial goals and enhance their long-term economic stability.

“Amidst a period of economic uncertainty, Tricon concluded 2022 with a record year of growth and another strong quarter of operating results. Our key accomplishments included record acquisition volume of more than 7,200 single-family rental homes, growth in proportionate net operating income (NOI) of approximately 24%, and the successful sale of the remaining 20% interest in our U.S. multi-family business. And in the fourth quarter, our robust same home blended rent growth of 7.4%, near record-high occupancy of 98.0% and record-low resident turnover of 12.2% underscore not only the strong demand for our single-family rental homes, but also the acute undersupply of housing in America,” said Gary Berman, President & CEO of Tricon. “As we look ahead to 2023, we remain focused on growing our single-family rental portfolio so we can serve thousands of more families who are in need of high quality, relatively affordable rental housing. Our guidance for 2023 reflects a gradual acceleration of acquisitions over the course of the year, albeit at a slower pace than 2022, as well as strong same home NOI growth largely offsetting the impact of higher interest expense in our FFO profile. We are encouraged by the resilience in our January operating metrics, the emergence of “green shoots” in the debt markets, and stability in the resale housing market that all point to another year of strong operating performance.”

For the basis of presentation of the Company’s Non-IFRS measures and reconciliations, refer to the “Non-IFRS Measures” section and Appendix A. For definitions of the Company’s Non-IFRS measures, refer to Section 6 of Tricon's MD&A.
(3) Core FFO per share and AFFO per share are calculated using the total number of weighted average potential dilutive shares outstanding, including the assumed exchange of preferred units issued by Tricon PIPE LLC, which were 311,222,080 and 311,100,493 for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 306,247,538 and 268,562,442 for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021, respectively.

Net income from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $55.9 millioncompared to $110.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, and included:

  • Revenue from single-family rental properties of $180.9 million compared to $124.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, driven primarily by growth of 23.2% in the single-family rental portfolio to 35,908 homes and a 9.4% year-over-year increase in average effective monthly rent (from $1,591 to $1,741).
  • Direct operating expenses of $58.4 million compared to $41.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, reflecting a larger rental portfolio, higher property tax expenses associated with increasing property value assessments, as well as general cost and labor market inflationary pressures.
  • Revenue from private funds and advisory services of $14.8 million, compared to $17.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, driven by no performance fees being recognized in the quarter as well as a decrease in property management fees following the sale of Tricon's remaining interest in the U.S. multi-family rental portfolio during the quarter.2
  • Fair value gain on rental properties of $56.4 million compared to $261.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, attributable to a moderation in home price appreciation within the single-family rental portfolio given the current climate of rising mortgage rates and greater economic uncertainty.

Net income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $779.4 million compared to $459.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, and included:

  • Revenue from single-family rental properties of $645.6 million and direct operating expenses of $209.1 million compared to $445.9 million and $149.9 million in the prior year, respectively, which translated to a net operating income ("NOI") increase of $140.5 million, attributable to the continued growth of the single-family rental portfolio and strong rent growth.
  • Revenue from private funds and advisory services of $160.1 million compared to $50.7 million in the prior year, driven primarily by $100 million of performance fees earned from Tricon's investors in respect of the sale of the U.S. multi-family rental portfolio.
  • Fair value gain on rental properties of $859.0 million compared to $990.6 million in the prior year as a result of a moderation of home price appreciation experienced in the latter half of the year.

Core FFO for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $96.8 million, an increase of $51.2 million or 112% compared to $45.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in Core FFO was driven by NOI growth from the single-family rental business, as discussed above, and higher performance fees earned from Tricon's investors in respect of the sale of the U.S. multi-family rental portfolio (these performance fees were earned and contributed to net income in the third quarter, but were recognized as part of Core FFO upon receipt in the fourth quarter). The performance fees related to the U.S. multi-family portfolio sale contributed $99.9 million of Core FFO from fees for a net positive impact of $50.3 million to Core FFO ($0.16 Core FFO per share) after deducting LTIP and performance fee payments to management. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, Core FFO increased by $85.3 million or 56% to $237.3 million compared to $152.0 million in the prior year, for the reasons noted above.

Adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO") for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 was $88.7 million and $198.3 million, respectively, an increase of $52.1 million (143%) and $76.7 million (63%) from the same periods in the prior year. This growth in AFFO was driven by the increase in Core FFO discussed above.

Single-Family Rental Operating Highlights

The measures presented in the table below and throughout this press release are on a proportionate basis, reflecting only the portion attributable to Tricon's shareholders based on the Company's ownership percentage of the underlying entities and excludes the percentage associated with non-controlling and limited partners' interests, unless otherwise stated.

(1) Non-IFRS measures are presented to illustrate alternative relevant measures to assess the Company's performance.

For definitions of the Company’s Non-IFRS measures, refer to Section 6 of Tricon's MD&A.

Single-family rental NOI was $73.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of $14.4 million or 24.2% compared to the same period in 2021. The higher NOI was mainly driven by an $18.6 million or 22.1% increase in rental revenues as a result of a 9.4% increase in the average monthly rent ($1,741 in Q4 2022 vs. $1,591 in Q4 2021) and 8.9% portfolio growth (Tricon's proportionate share of rental homes was 21,464 in Q4 2022 compared to 19,707 in Q4 2021). This favorable change in rental revenue was partially offset by a $4.3 million or 14.4% increase in direct operating expenses reflecting incremental costs associated with a larger portfolio of homes, higher property taxes attributable to increased assessed property values and growth in property management costs reflecting a tighter labor market.

Single-family rental same home NOI growth was 9.7% in the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily attributable to revenue growth of 6.9%, driven by a 7.7% increase in average monthly rent ($1,680 in Q4 2022 compared to $1,560 in Q4 2021), along with a 20 basis point increase in occupancy to 98.0%. This favorable growth in rental revenue was partially offset by a reduction in other revenue and a 0.8% increase in operating expenses reflecting higher property taxes and property management expenses, offset primarily by lower turnover, repairs and maintenance expenses.

Single-Family Rental Investment Activity

The Company expanded its single-family rental portfolio by acquiring 815 homes during the quarter, bringing its total managed portfolio to 35,908 rental homes. The homes were purchased at an average cost per home of $331,000, including up-front renovations, for a total acquisition cost of $270 million, of which Tricon's share was approximately $84 million.

Adjacent Residential Businesses Highlights

Quarterly highlights of the Company's adjacent residential businesses include:

  • In the Canadian multi-family business, The Selby's occupancy remained strong at 98.0%, supported by an improved annualized turnover rate of 24.0% and blended rent growth of 11.4% (reflecting a combination of higher market rents and the removal of substantial leasing concessions prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic). These factors resulted in a year-over-year NOI growth of 35.0%;
  • In Tricon's Canadian residential development portfolio, The Taylor's occupancy rates are tracking ahead of plan, with 41% of the building leased up at average monthly rents of C$4.42 per square foot. Construction at The Ivy and Canary Landing (West Don Lands) - Block 8 continue to progress, with first occupancy anticipated by mid-2023. Meanwhile, the Symington project is on track to commence construction in early 2023. Although the portfolio experienced pressures on construction timelines and costs associated with the current inflationary environment, the Company leveraged its strong trade relationships to minimize construction delays and reduce the impact of cost increases; and
  • Tricon's investments in U.S. residential developments generated $5.4 million of distributions to the Company in Q4 2022.

Change in Net Assets

Tricon's net assets were $3.8 billion at December 31, 2022, relatively consistent compared to September 30, 2022 and increasing significantly on a year-over-year basis. Tricon’s net assets grew by $36 million and $736 million when compared to $3.8 billion and $3.1 billion as at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. These increases were primarily attributable to fair value gains of $32 million and $760 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 (on a proportionate basis). Accordingly, Tricon's book value (net assets) per common share outstanding also increased by 24% year-over-year to $13.89 (C$18.81) as at December 31, 2022 compared to $11.22 (C$14.22) as at December 31, 2021.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Tricon's liquidity consists of a $500 million corporate credit facility which was undrawn and available to the Company as at December 31, 2022. The Company also had approximately $204 million of unrestricted cash on hand, resulting in total liquidity of $704 million.

As at December 31, 2022, Tricon’s pro-rata net debt (excluding exchangeable instruments) was $2.7 billion, reflecting a pro-rata net debt to assets ratio of 34.9%. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, Tricon's pro-rata net debt to Adjusted EBITDAre ratio was 4.3x. When excluding the performance fees earned in respect of the sale of the U.S. multi-family rental portfolio, Tricon's pro-rata net debt to Adjusted EBITDAre ratio was 7.2x.3,4

Full Year 2023 Guidance

The following table highlights guidance for the Company's Core FFO per share, same home metrics and acquisitions for the upcoming fiscal year. Given the ongoing dislocation in the capital markets, whereby the high cost of financing has negatively impacted investment returns on most acquisitions, Tricon has elected to reduce its pace of acquisitions in 2023 and expects to acquire approximately 400 homes in the first quarter of 2023, and to moderate external growth for the remainder of 2023.

These forward-looking statements have been approved by management to be made as at the date of this press release. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are based upon what management currently believes to be reasonable assumptions (including in particular the revenue growth, expense growth and portfolio growth assumptions set out herein (which themselves are based on, respectively: assumed ancillary revenue growth and continuing favorable market rent growth increased internalization of maintenance activity and increased management efficiencies accompanying portfolio growth; and the availability of SFR homes meeting the Company’s acquisition objectives), there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

Non-IFRS Measures

The Company has included herein certain non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios, including, but not limited to: "proportionate" metrics, net operating income ("NOI"), NOI margin, funds from operations ("FFO"), core funds from operations ("Core FFO"), adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO"), Core FFO per share, AFFO per share, Adjusted EBITDAre as well as certain key indicators of the performance of our businesses which are supplementary financial measures. These measures are commonly used by entities in the real estate industry as useful metrics for measuring performance. We utilize these measures in managing our business, including performance measurement and capital allocation. In addition, certain of these measures are used in measuring compliance with our debt covenants. We believe that providing these performance measures on a supplemental basis is helpful to investors and shareholders in assessing the overall performance of the Company’s business. However, these measures are not recognized under and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS as issued by the IASB, and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other publicly traded entities. These measures should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for related financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. Because non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS ratios and supplementary financial measures do not have standardized meanings prescribed under IFRS, securities regulations require that such measures be clearly defined, identified, and reconciled to their nearest IFRS measure. The calculation and reconciliation of the non-IFRS financial measures and the requisite disclosure for non-IFRS ratios used herein are provided in Appendix A below. The definitions of the Company’s Non-IFRS measures are provided in the "Glossary and Defined Terms" section as well as Section 6 of Tricon's MD&A.

The non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS ratios and supplementary financial measures presented herein should not be construed as alternatives to net income (loss) or cash flow from the Company’s activities, determined in accordance with IFRS, as indicators of Tricon’s financial performance. Tricon’s method of calculating these measures may differ from other issuers’ methods and, accordingly, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other publicly-traded entities.

(1) Performance fees of $99.9 million were earned in respect of the sale of the Company's interest in its U.S. multi-family rental portfolio during the third quarter of 2022. As the cash was received and a related payment of $49.6 million was made during the fourth quarter, these performance fees revenue and associated expenses are included in the Core FFO calculation for the three months ended December 31, 2022.
(2) Includes performance fees expense, which is accrued based on changes in the unrealized carried interest liability of the underlying Investment Vehicles and hence is added back to Core FFO as a non-cash expense. Performance fees are paid and deducted in arriving at Core FFO only when the associated fee revenue has been realized.
(3) Recurring capital expenditures represent ongoing costs associated with maintaining and preserving the quality of a property after it has been renovated. Capital expenditures related to renovations or value-enhancement are excluded from recurring capital expenditures.

(3) Adjusted EBITDAre is a non-IFRS measure. Refer to the "Glossary and Defined Terms" section for definition and the Reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDAre table above.
(4) Q4 Adjusted EBITDAre includes the net performance fee income of $50,289 (net of performance fees expense paid to management) which was earned from Tricon's investors in connection with the sale of the U.S. multi-family rental portfolio. The leverage metric excluding the net performance fee income of $50,289 from Adjusted EBITDAre would be 7.2x.

Glossary and Defined Terms

The non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS ratios, and KPI supplementary financial measures discussed throughout this press release for each of the Company’s business segments are calculated based on Tricon's proportionate share of each portfolio or business and are defined and discussed below and in Section 6 of the MD&A, which definitions and discussion are incorporated herein by reference. These measures are commonly used by entities in the real estate industry as useful metrics for measuring performance; however, they do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other publicly-traded entities. These measures should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. See Appendix A for a reconciliation to IFRS financial measures where applicable.

Adjusted EBITDAre is a metric that management believes to be helpful in evaluating the Company’s operating performance across and within the real estate industry. Further, management considers it to be a more accurate reflection of the Company’s leverage ratio, especially as it adjusts for and negates non-recurring and non-cash items. The Company’s definition of EBITDAre reflects all adjustments that are specified by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). In addition to the adjustments prescribed by NAREIT, Tricon excludes fair value gains that arise as a result of reporting under IFRS.

EBITDAre represents net income from continuing operations, excluding the impact of interest expense, income tax expense, amortization and depreciation expense, fair value changes on rental properties, fair value changes on derivative financial instruments and adjustments to reflect the entity’s share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated entities. Adjusted EBITDAre is a normalized figure and is defined as EBITDAre before stock-based compensation, unrealized and realized foreign exchange gains and losses, transaction costs and other non-recurring items, and reflects only Tricon’s share of results from consolidated entities (by removing non-controlling interests’ and limited partners’ share of reconciling items).

The Company also discloses its Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre ratio to assist investors in accounting for the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures and equity-accounted investments, in both debt and Adjusted EBITDAre, by calculating pro-rata leverage on a look-through basis (excluding debt directly related to the Canadian development portfolio as well as warehouse and subscription facilities related to acquisitions of vacant single-family homes, which do not fully contribute to Adjusted EBITDAre).

Cost to maintain is defined as the annualized repairs and maintenance expense, turnover expense net of applicable resident recoveries and recurring capital expenditures per home in service. The metric provides insight into the costs needed to maintain a property's current condition and is indicative of a portfolio's operational efficiency.

Pro-rata net assets represents the Company's proportionate share of total consolidated assets as well as assets of non-consolidated entities on a look-through basis (which are shown as equity-accounted investments on its proportionate balance sheet), less its cash and restricted cash.

Pro-rata net debt represents the Company's total current and long-term debt per its consolidated financial statements, less its cash and restricted cash (excluding debt directly related to the Canadian development portfolio as well as warehouse and subscription facilities related to acquisitions of vacant single-family homes, which do not fully contribute to Adjusted EBITDAre).

4 Q4 Adjusted EBITDAre includes the net performance fee income of $50,289 (net of performance fees expense paid to management) which was earned from Tricon's investors in connection with the sale of the U.S. multi-family rental portfolio. The leverage metric excluding the net performance fee income of $50,289 from Adjusted EBITDAre would be 7.2x.
