MISSISSAUGA, ON, Aug. 6, 2014 /CNW/ - Morguard North American
Residential REIT (the 'REIT") (TSX: MRG.UN) today announced
its financial results for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2014.
All amounts in CAD thousands, except suites
and per unit amounts, unless otherwise noted.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Reflecting the significant acquisition activity that occurred
during 2013, the REIT is reporting:
-
- Normalized net operating income (excluding the impact of IFRIC
21) of $22.9 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2014, an
increase of $4.7 million over the
same period in 2013.
- Funds from Operations ("FFO") of $11.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $3.3 million over the same period in 2013.
- Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO") of $0.18 per unit for the three months ended
June 30, 2014, a 29% increase as
compared to the $0.14 value generated
in the second quarter of 2013.
- FFO payout ratio for the period was 60.0% (AFFO payout ratio -
83.33%)
- The REIT retrospectively adopted International Financial
Reporting Interpretations Committee Interpretation 21, "Levies"
("IFRIC 21") effective January 1,
2014. The adoption of this interpretation required
that the realty taxes for all of the REIT's U.S. properties owned
at the beginning of the year be recognized on January 1st, which decreased realty
tax expense by $2.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2014
(2013 - $1.7 million), with a
corresponding fair value reduction on the REIT's income producing
properties.

predominantly due to the U.S. acquisitions, which increased NOI by
US$3.8 million in 2014, and the
change in the U.S. foreign exchange rate which increased NOI by
$0.9 million.

increase is mainly due an increase in normalized NOI
of $14.2 million,
partially offset by an increase in interest expenses of
