About
Non-IFRS Measures
This press release should be read in conjunction with the REIT's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and accompanying notes for the three months ended
The REIT uses financial measures that are not defined under IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") including certain non-IFRS ratios, to measure, compare and explain the operating results, financial performance and cash flows of the REIT. These measures are commonly used by real estate operating companies and real estate investment trusts as useful metrics for measuring performance. However, they do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
- "FFO" is defined as IFRS consolidated net income adjusted for items such as unrealized changes in the estimated fair value of investment properties, the effect of changes in value puttable instruments classified as financial liabilities, property taxes accounted for under IFRS Interpretations Committee 21 Levies, transaction costs expensed as a result of the purchase of a property being accounted for as a business combination, changes in the fair value of financial instruments which are economically effective hedges but do not qualify or were not designated for hedge accounting, HAP Backstop (as defined in the investor rights agreement, by and among the REIT, OpCo and the Retained Interest Holders, dated
July 31, 2025 ) receivable, IPO related general and administrative expenses, operational revenue and expenses from right to use assets, and other adjustments. FFO should not be construed as an alternative to net income or cash flows provided by or used in operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS. - "AFFO" is defined as FFO adjusted for items such as actual maintenance capital expenditures incurred, straight-line rental revenue differences and severance costs associated with the disposition of investment properties. AFFO should not be construed as an alternative to net income or cash flows provided by or used in operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS.
- "NOI" is defined as total revenue from properties (i.e., rental revenue and other property income) and HAP Backstop receivable, less property operating costs including property tax expense prepared in accordance with IFRS, except for adjustments related to IFRS Interpretations Committee 21 Levies. NOI should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with IFRS. The REIT's method of calculating NOI may differ from other issuers' methods and, accordingly, may not be comparable to NOI reported by other issuers. The REIT regards NOI as an important measure of the income generated from the REIT's investment properties and is used by the REIT in evaluating the performance of the REIT's properties. It is also a key input in determining the value of the REIT's properties.
- "EBITDA" is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
- "EBITDA Adjusted" is defined as EBITDA adjusted for amounts that are, in management's view, unique to the operations of REIT. Management of the REIT regards EBITDA Adjusted as an important measure of operating performance.
- "FFO Adjusted" is defined as FFO adjusted for amounts that are, in management's view, unique to the operations of REIT. Management of the REIT regards FFO Adjusted as an important measure of operating performance.
- "AFFO Adjusted" is defined as AFFO adjusted for amounts that are unique, in management's view, to the operations of REIT. Management of the REIT regards AFFO Adjusted as an important measure of operating performance and also uses AFFO Adjusted in assessing its distribution paying capacity.
- "Revenue Adjusted" is defined as Revenue adjusted for amounts that are, in management's view, unique to the operations of REIT. Management of the REIT regards Revenue Adjusted as an important measure of operating performance. The REIT's Revenue Adjusted includes: (1) the normalization of rent concessions of
$1.3 million for the three months endedDecember 31, 2025 , and$1.9 million for the period fromJuly 31, 2025 toDecember 31, 2025 , (2) amounts under the HAP Backstop receivable of$1.5 million for the three months endedDecember 31, 2025 , and$2.5 million for the period fromJuly 31, 2025 toDecember 31, 2025 , (3) other property revenue which represents a lease termination payment provided by the former owner of TheCopper Building of$0.8 million for the three months endedDecember 31, 2025 , and 0.8 million for the period fromJuly 31, 2025 toDecember 31, 2025 , and (4) other revenue from services of$0.7 million for the three months endedDecember 31, 2025 . - "NOI Adjusted" is defined as NOI adjusted for amounts that are, in management's view, unique to the operations of REIT. Management of the REIT regards NOI Adjusted as an important measure of operating performance.
- "Average monthly rent" is defined as the total monthly rent of all market based residential suites in the portfolio, divided by the number of all market based residential suites within the portfolio
Non-IFRS Ratios
- "AFFO Adjusted Payout Ratio" is defined as distributions declared on Units of divided by AFFO Adjusted.
- "AFFO Adjusted per Unit" is defined as AFFO Adjusted divided by the weighted average number of Units for the period.
- "FFO Adjusted per Unit" is defined as FFO Adjusted divided by the weighted average number of Units for the period.
- "Gross Book Value" means, at any time, the greater of (i) the book value of the assets of the REIT and its consolidated subsidiaries, as shown on the most recent consolidated statement of financial position prepared in accordance with IFRS; and (ii) the historical cost of the investment properties, plus (a) the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, (b) the historical cost of other assets and investments.

Forward-looking statements are identified by words such as "believe", "anticipate", "project", "expect", "intend", "plan", "will", "may", "can", "could", "would", "must", "estimate", "target", "objective", and other similar expressions, or negative versions thereof, and include statements herein concerning: management's expectations regarding objectives, plans, goals, strategies, future growth, including with respect to the Acquisitions, results of operations, performance, business prospects, opportunities of the REIT (including future acquisitions, capital recycling, capital redevelopment, and rental rate increases), macroeconomic and industry trends (including those relating to job growth, population growth, vacancy and residential occupancy rates and levels). In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, intentions, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances contain forward-looking statements. Statements containing forward-looking information are not historical facts but instead represent management's expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events or circumstances.
Material factors and assumptions used by management of the REIT to develop the forward-looking information in this news release include, but are not limited to, the REIT's future growth potential, results of operations, future prospects and opportunities, demographic and industry trends, no change in legislative or regulatory matters, future levels of indebtedness, the tax laws as currently in effect, the continuing availability of capital, current economic conditions and the REIT having sufficient cash to pay its distributions.
Although management believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable and represent the REIT's internal expectations and beliefs at this time, such statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and may not prove to be accurate and certain objectives and strategic goals may not be achieved. A variety of factors, many of which are beyond the REIT's control, could cause actual results in future periods to differ materially from current expectations of events or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, such as the risks discussed or referenced under the heading "Risks and Uncertainties" in the REIT's most recent Management's Discussion & Analysis available at www.sedarplus.com. Readers are cautioned against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Certain statements included in this press release may be considered a "financial outlook" for purposes of applicable Canadian securities laws, and as such, the financial outlook may not be appropriate for purposes other than to understand management's expectations relating to the REIT, as disclosed in this press release. There can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements will be consistent with these forward-looking statements.
