Results for the Quarter Gross rental revenue for the quarter was $16.8 million, an increase of $0.7 million, or 4.6%, compared to Q3 2013. Operating revenue for the quarter was up $0.5 million to $16.5 million, or 3.0% compared to Q3 2013. The average monthly rent across the entire portfolio for September 2014 increased to $948 per suite from $922 (September 2013), an increase of 2.8%. On a stabilized portfolio basis (stabilized properties are those owned by the REIT continuously for 24 months), the average monthly rent per suite increased from $913 to $944 over the same period, an increase of 3.4%. Management expects to continue to grow revenues organically through moving to market rent on suite turnovers, guideline increases, continued roll-out of AGIs, as well as continuing to drive other ancillary revenue streams. The September 2014 vacancy rate across the entire portfolio was 3.4%. “We are beginning to see the positive effects of our new rental operations model, which we believe better aligns rental operations to longer term value creation,” said Mike McGahan, CEO. Property operating costs for the three months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $2.9 million or 17.8% of operating revenue compared to $2.8 million or 17.6% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013. As a percentage of operating revenue, operating costs increased by 0.2% as compared to Q3 2013 however as a percentage of gross rental revenue, operating costs were down slightly from 17.6% to 17.5% for the same period. Property taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $2.2 million or 13.5% of operating revenue compared to $2.1 million or 13.3% of operating revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Similar to operating costs, as a percentage of gross rental revenue, property taxes were down slightly from 13.4% to 13.3%. Utility costs for the three months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $1.2 million or 7.2% of operating revenue compared to $1.3 million or 7.9% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013. As a percentage of operating revenues and on a per suite basis, utility costs decreased over the same quarter last year. NOI for the three months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $10.2 million or 61.5% of operating revenue compared to $9.8 million or 61.2% of operating revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in the quarter is as a result of growing the portfolio and increasing net revenue while controlling property operating costs and decreasing utilities as a percentage of revenue. In addition, the redevelopment properties in Ottawa and Hamilton had a positive contribution of $0.3 million to NOI in the third quarter of 2013 and no NOI contribution in the third quarter of 2014. The Board of Trustees is pleased to announce that they have approved the extension of the property management agreement for five years. As a result, the property management agreement will now be in place until September 30, 2019. At the end of the quarter, the weighted average interest rate was 3.25% and the average life to maturity was approximately 4.1 years. The REIT regularly reviews mortgages and maturities in order to capitalize on the availability of long term funds at the historically low rates that we continue to experience.
