TORONTO, March 15, 2012 /CNW/ - Tricon Capital Group Inc. (TSX: TCN)
("Tricon" or the "Company") today announced its results for the year
and the fourth quarter ended December 31, 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"), except as disclosed in Note 2 below, and are
presented in Canadian dollars rounded to the nearest thousand.



Highlights:




  • Assets Under Management ("AUM") have continued to grow throughout the
    course of 2011 and were approximately $944,000,000 at December 31, 2011
    - an increase of over $90,000,000 since the end of 2010.


  • A final close for Canadian fund Tricon XII is expected by the end of Q1
    2012; subject to finalization of closing documentation, the expectation
    is that total fund commitments will be approximately $185,000,000. An
    initial close for U.S. distressed fund Tricon XI with a large
    institutional investor is anticipated for Q2 2012


  • Net income for 2011 was $544,000 ($0.03 per share) versus a loss of
    $8,469,000 in 2010 (a loss of $0.61 per share). Net Income for the
    quarter was $255,000, a $251,000 decrease from Q4 2010 ($0.01 per share
    in Q4 2011 vs. $0.03 per share in Q4 2010).


  • Adjusted Base Revenues for the quarter increased by $360,000 from Q4
    2010 to $3,023,000, primarily as a result of General Partner
    Distributions from Tricon XII.���� For the full year, Adjusted Base
    Revenues of $11,435,000 were nearly $1,000,000 higher than 2010.


  • Adjusted Base EBITDA decreased from $1,294,000 in Q4 2010 to $1,202,000
    in Q4 2011.�� For the full year Adjusted Base EBITDA was $4,678,000
    (2010: $5,133,000).�� These declines were primarily the result of
    Investment Losses related to Tricon's share of the formation costs for
    Tricon XII. These losses, which occur in the early years of a fund's
    life, along with the previously anticipated reduction in Performance
    Fees, resulted in a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA from $1,623,000 in Q4
    2010 to $1,202,000 in Q4 2011 and from $6,184,000 for full-year 2010 to
    $4,833,000 in full-year 2011.


  • A quarterly dividend of 6 cents per share was declared on March 14, 2012
    to shareholders of record on March 31, 2012 and will be payable on
    April 13, 2012.



"We continue to move closer to a first close for Tricon XI, our new U.S.
distressed fund, and anticipate a full roll-out of our U.S. fundraising
program over the upcoming quarter" said David Berman, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer. "We also have spent a significant time over
the past quarter sourcing new investment opportunities in Texas, namely
Houston and Dallas, markets which boast very strong underlying
demographics and are well positioned to lead the United States out of
the economic downturn."

Notes:

(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.
