TORONTO, May 11, 2012 /CNW/ - Tricon Capital Group Inc. (TSX: TCN)
("Tricon" or the "Company") today announced its results for the first
quarter ended March 31, 2012. 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.



Quarterly Highlights:




  • Assets Under Management increased by approximately $85.2 million from
    March 31, 2011 to $992,371,000, as at March 31, 2011 and increased by
    approximately $28.3 million for the quarter, primarily as a result of
    the closing of new Canadian fund Tricon XII.






  • Net and Comprehensive Income for the quarter ending March 31, 2012
    increased by approximately $438,000 to $243,000, when compared to the
    corresponding period in 2011.�� Similarly basic and diluted Earnings per
    Share increased at March 31, 2012 to $0.01 per share compared to
    ($0.01) per share at March 31, 2011.






  • Adjusted Base Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 increased by
    $728,000 to $3,299,000 when compared to quarter ended March 31, 2011
    primarily as a result of the "catch-up" provision on prior year General
    Partner Distributions from Tricon XII.






  • Adjusted Base EBITDA for Q1 2012 increased by $610,000 to $1,709,000,
    Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2012 increased by $517,000 to $1,709,000, and
    Adjusted Net Income for Q1 2012 increased by $451,000 to $1,109,000
    when compared to the corresponding period in 2011.






  • Tricon XII, Tricon's largest Canadian managed fund to date, had a
    further close on March 22, 2012 thereby increasing total fund
    commitments to $185,750,000.






  • A large U.S. institutional investor continues to move forward on due
    diligence for Tricon XI, with an initial close now anticipated in Q2
    2012. Fundraising efforts will continue with subsequent closings
    permitted for a period of one year from the date of initial closing.



Quarterly Dividend Declared:




  • On May 8, 2012, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of 6 cents
    per share to shareholders of record on June 30, 2012 payable on July
    13, 2012
    .��



Subsequent Events:




  • On April 13, 2012, the Company closed a separate investment account for
    approximately US$150 million (the "Transaction") with a large Canadian
    institutional investor to support the acquisition and development of
    the award-winning, 3,200 acre Cross Creek Ranch master-planned
    community in Houston, Texas.�� The Company will commit approximately 10%
    of the required capital to the Transaction, with the balance being
    committed by Tricon's institutional partner and the project's
    developer. The Transaction will increase the Company's AUM to greater
    than $1.1 billion.






  • On April 27, 2012, the Company issued 12,937,500 common shares in a
    bought deal financing at $4.00 per share for gross proceeds of
    $51,750,000. The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the
    offering of approximately $49,304,000 primarily for its new U.S.
    distressed single-family home rental strategy.



"We had a very successful first quarter, with across-the-board
improvements in all of our key financial metrics.�� Fundraising for our
new Canadian fund Tricon XII is now complete with total commitments far
exceeding our expectations," said David Berman, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer. "Subsequent to quarter end, we moved forward with
two new strategic initiatives: a large separate account transaction
with a major institutional investor and the launch of our new U.S.
distressed single-family rental strategy, with the latter being
financed by an equity offering from treasury.�� We expect that these
initiatives, which collectively target distressed residential land and
single-family rental homes, will prove to be among the best strategies
for capitalizing on the nascent U.S. economic recovery."

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.
