TORONTO, Nov. 14, 2011 /CNW/ - Tricon Capital Group Inc. (TSX: TCN)
("Tricon" or the "Company") today announced its results for the third
quarter ended September 30, 2011. Financial Statements and Management's
Discussion and Analysis are available on the Tricon website at
www.triconcapital.com and have been filed on SEDAR. Results are
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
("IFRS") and presented in Canadian dollars rounded to the nearest
thousand, unless otherwise noted.



Highlights:




  • Net Income for the quarter was $993,000, a $878,000 increase from Q3
    2010. As a result, EPS for the quarter improved to $0.05 per share as
    compared to $0.01 per share in Q3 2010.






  • Adjusted Base Revenues for the quarter increased by $264,000 to
    $2,999,000
    when compared to the corresponding period in 2010, while
    Adjusted Base EBITDA decreased from $1,259,000 in Q3 2010 to
    $1,089,000, primarily as a result of formation and legal costs
    associated with the start-up of Canadian fund Tricon XII, which costs
    have been reported as Investment Losses.






  • Adjusted EBITDA declined from $1,377,000 in Q3 2010 to $1,091,000 in Q3
    2011, primarily as a result of the aforementioned Investment Losses and
    the anticipated reduction in performance fees earned.






  • An expression of interest was received for a $100 million lead order for
    US distressed fund Tricon XI from a large U.S. institutional investor,
    with an initial close now anticipated in Q1 2012. Fundraising efforts
    will continue with subsequent closings permitted for a period of one
    year from the date of initial closing.






  • Assets Under Management ("AUM") have continued to grow throughout the
    course of 2011 and were $961,548,000 at September 30, 2011 - an
    increase of $34,114,000 from Q2 2011 and an increase of $108,912,000
    since the end of 2010,






  • A quarterly dividend of 6 cents per share was declared on November 11,
    2011
    to shareholders of record on December 31, 2011 and will be payable
    on January 13, 2012.



"We continue to execute the business plan laid out when we went public
in May 2010 and believe that our fundraising success will continue over
the next 12 - 18 months. We have built a deep pipeline of investment
opportunities for both our Canadian fund and our distressed U.S. fund
which we believe reflects Tricon's position as the capital provider of
choice for the residential development industry" said David Berman,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Aside from our fundraising
efforts, we are also surveying the market for strategic corporate
opportunities which will further drive shareholder value. Overall, we
believe that Tricon continues to have strong growth prospects going
forward and that we are well positioned to provide our shareholders
with an excellent balance of current yield and long-term growth."

(1) 

Net Income includes several Non-Recurring and Non-Cash items, including
a significant LTIP accrual as mandated by IFRS. Please see MD&A for
additional detail.

(2) 

Tricon measures the success of its business by employing several key
performance indicators which are not recognized under IFRS, including
AUM, Adjusted Base EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income.
These indicators should not be considered an alternative to IFRS
financial measures such as Net Income. Non-IFRS financial measures do
not have standardized definitions prescribed by IFRS and are therefore
unlikely to be comparable with other issuers or companies. Refer to our
Management & Discussion Analysis for a reconciliation of the Non-IFRS
measures to the closest comparable IFRS measures.
