TORONTO--()--DREAM RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (TSX: DRR.U, TSX: DRR.UN) (“Dream Residential REIT” or the “REIT” or “we” or “us”) today announced its financial results for the three months (“Q4 2023”) and year ended December 31, 2023. Management will host a conference call to discuss the financial results on February 15, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. (ET).

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Strategic property sale 3.3% above Q3 2023 IFRS value: On November 29, 2023, the REIT sold its Forrest Grove property for gross proceeds before adjustments and transaction costs of $9.0 million. We intend to invest the net proceeds in other existing assets to improve rents and enhance their value.
  • Comparative properties net operating income (“Comparative properties NOI”)1 was $6.1 million in Q4 2023, a 10.3% increase when compared to $5.6 million in Q4 2022. Net rental income was $2.6 million in Q4 2023 or $0.8 million higher than Q4 2022, due to an increase in investment properties revenue of $0.6 million and a decrease in investment properties expenses of $0.2 million.
  • Diluted funds from operations (“FFO”) per Unit2 was $0.18 for Q4 2023, a 10.9% increase compared to $0.16 for Q4 2022. The increase in diluted FFO per Unit over Q4 2022 was mainly due to increased net rental income and comparative properties NOI, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses.
  • Portfolio occupancy was 93.7% as at December 31, 2023, up from 93.4% at the end of Q3 2023, with Greater Oklahoma City at 93.8%, Greater Dallas-Fort Worth at 92.4% and Greater Cincinnati at 95.1%. Occupancy was consistent with expectations as we continue to manage our value-add program, completing 85 units during the quarter.
  • Average monthly rent as at December 31, 2023 was $1,156 per unit, representing a 1.1% increase compared to $1,143 per unit at September 30, 2023.
  • Conservative balance sheet continues to provide financial flexibility. Net total debt-to-net total assets3 was 31.6% as at December 31, 2023, compared to 29.7% as at December 31, 2022. Total mortgages payable were $137.6 million consisting of 11 fixed rate mortgages with a weighted average contractual interest rate of 4.0%. Total assets (per consolidated financial statements) were $411.9 million as at December 31, 2023. Total assets were comprised primarily of $398.3 million of investment properties and $10.9 million of cash and cash equivalents.

“In 2023, DRR successfully delivered on its IPO forecast, followed by strong operational and financial performance for the year, despite facing broader market challenges,” said Brian Pauls, Chief Executive Officer of Dream Residential REIT. “We are pleased to report 10.3% CP NOI growth in the fourth quarter and our balance sheet remains safe and flexible, with low leverage and a solid liquidity position.

We believe that the market is undervaluing our portfolio relative to our peers and private market valuations. Our business has been resilient in the face of higher interest rates, cost inflation and a tougher operating environment. Looking ahead, we will continue to explore opportunities to enhance our portfolio, drive internal growth and generate long-term value for our unitholders, while providing an attractive distribution yield supported by a conservative payout ratio.”

  • Q4 2023 net loss was $(12.9) million, which comprises net rental income of $2.6 million, fair value adjustments to investment properties of $(12.9) million and fair value adjustments to financial instruments of $1.2 million, primarily from the revaluation of Class B units of DRR Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of the REIT (“Class B Units” and together with the Trust Units, “Units”). Cumulative other income and expenses totalled $(3.8) million.
  • Total equity (per consolidated financial statements) was $218.0 million as at December 31, 2023, compared to $239.3 million as at December 31, 2022.
  • Net asset value (“NAV”)4 per Unit was $13.50 as at December 31, 2023, compared to $14.50 as at
    December 31, 2022.
  • The REIT declared distributions totalling $0.105 per Unit during Q4 2023.
  • During the year ended December 31, 2023, the REIT purchased a total of 150,758 Trust Units under its normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) that commenced on January 6, 2023, for a total of $1.2 million.
  • Subsequent to December 31, 2023, approximately 3.3 million Class B Units were redeemed and exchanged for Trust Units.

Net income (loss) for Q4 2023 was $(12.9) million compared to $4.6 million in Q4 2022, primarily due to a change in fair value adjustments to investment properties of $(14.8) million and a change in fair value adjustments to financial instruments of $(3.1) million from Q4 2022, partially offset by an increase in net rental income of $0.8 million. The remaining difference was mainly driven by lower interest expense on Class B Units as a result of Class B Units that were redeemed on a one-for-one basis for Trust Units in Q4 2022. FFO for Q4 2023 was $3.5 million compared to $3.2 million in Q4 2022 due largely to an increase in NOI of $0.5 million. Q4 2023 diluted FFO per Unit was $0.18 compared to $0.16 in the prior year comparative quarter.

Net rental income for Q4 2023 was $2.6 million compared to $1.8 million in the prior year comparative quarter. Comparative properties NOI for Q4 2023 was $6.1 million compared to $5.6 million in the prior year comparative quarter. Comparative properties NOI margin of 52.1% was 170 basis points higher than Q4 2022. Q4 2023 comparative properties NOI includes comparative investment properties revenue of $11.8 million, which exceeded the prior year comparative quarter by $0.7 million, primarily driven by rental rate growth and value-add rental premiums. Investment properties operating expenses decreased $0.2 million as a result of decreased property taxes, partially offset by increased property insurance and maintenance expenses.

On November 29, 2023, the REIT sold the Forrest Grove property in Wichita, Kansas for gross proceeds before adjustments and transaction costs of $9.0 million. This transaction provides the REIT with enhanced liquidity and financial flexibility to support our value-add program across the portfolio.

ORGANIC GROWTH

In 2023, Dream Residential REIT achieved solid organic growth across the portfolio, capturing rental rate growth and executing on implementing its value-add initiatives.

Weighted average monthly rent as at December 31, 2023 was $1,156 per unit, representing a 1.1% increase from September 30, 2023. Rental rates increased in the Greater Cincinnati region at 1.0%, Greater Oklahoma City region at 2.3% from September 30, 2023. Greater Dallas-Fort Worth experienced a rental rate decrease of (1.4)% from September 30, 2023. Since December 31, 2022, rental rates have increased 7.1% for the portfolio. This consists of an increase from December 31, 2022 of 8.2% for the Greater Cincinnati region, 8.2% for the Greater Oklahoma City region and 4.0% for the Greater Dallas-Fort Worth region.

During Q4 2023, blended lease trade outs averaged 1.6% compared to 5.4% in Q3 2023. This is comprised of an average increase on renewals of approximately 3.5% (7.3% – September 30, 2023) and an average decrease on new leases of approximately (1.1)% (3.5% – September 30, 2023). As at December 31, 2023, estimated market rents were $1,252 per unit, or an average gain-to-lease for the portfolio of 8.3%. The retention rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was 59.6% compared to 46.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2022 due to our leasing efforts in securing renewals during the period.

Value-Add Initiatives

During Q4 2023, renovations were completed on 85 suites across Greater Dallas-Fort Worth and Greater Oklahoma City, with 16 suites under renovation as at December 31, 2023. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the average new lease trade-out on renovated suites was $187 per unit higher than expiring leases, or a lease trade out of 17.9%.

“While facing challenging market conditions, the REIT’s portfolio has performed well and operations were consistent with management’s expectation,” said Scott Schoeman, Chief Operating Officer of Dream Residential REIT. “During the quarter, we sold Forrest Grove, a non-core asset with limited value-add runway, at a value above Q3 2023 IFRS. We expect to use the net proceeds to invest in our existing assets to drive rental rate growth and enhance value and overall portfolio quality. Our value-add program continues to deliver strong returns and we are excited to expand it into Cincinnati this year.”
