Sun Residential REIT Releases Solid Results and Announces Investor Conference Call on May 6

By: Newsfile

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 5, 2021) -  Sun Residential Real Estate Investment Trust (TSXV: SRES) today released its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2021. All amounts are in United States dollars.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $1,176,066 (same period, prior year - $835,781), net rental income was $864,401 (prior year - $472,180), and the net income for the three months was $473,795 (prior year - loss of $793,536). Since operations commenced January 28, 2020 when Sun acquired its first property, the results for the prior year are not directly comparable since the first quarter last year included only two months of operations as well as expenses resulting from the property acquisition and establishing Sun's corporate operations as a public company.

At March 31, 2021, Sun had total assets of $57.0 million (December 31, 2020 - $56.6 million), and cash and cash equivalents of $4.0 million (December 31, 2020 - $3.9 million). Working capital at March 31, 2021 was $4.2 million (December 31, 2020 - $3.9 million).

"Sun continues to show very good results, as our property is performing very well. We thank property management for an outstanding job during the challenges that have arisen from the pandemic," said Gordon Wiebe, CEO of Sun. He continued, "Our priority is to grow the business, and we are actively exploring options to resume our expansion."

Highlights (at March 31, 2021 unless otherwise noted)

  • Weighted average occupancy rate - 98%.
  • FFO (funds from operations) for three months ended March 31, 2021 - $97,044 (same period, prior year - loss of $184,879).
  • AFFO (adjusted funds from operations) for three months ended March 31, 2021 - $97,044 (same period, prior year - loss of $184,879).
  • Rent collection for March 2021 - 99%
  • Lease renewals for three months ended March 31, 2021 at an average rent increase of 3.2%.
