REIT maintains strong leasing momentum in Q2-2025 with 291,600 square feet of new and renewed leases with a weighted average lease term of 4.4 years and 0.6% leasing spread on renewed leases

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE U.S. OR OVER U.S. NEWSWIRES/

TORONTO, Aug. 12, 2025 /CNW/ - True North Commercial Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX: TNT.UN) (the "REIT") today announced its financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2025 ("Q2-2025") and six months ended June 30, 2025 ("YTD-2025").

"We are pleased with the strong leasing momentum which continued during the second quarter including the renewal of 161,000 square feet with a major Canadian bank further highlighting the REIT's commitment to maintaining strong relationships with high quality credit rated tenants," said Daniel Drimmer, the REIT's Chief Executive Officer. "Our core portfolio continued to achieve strong occupancy of 93% and the REIT completed the sale of two non-core assets, which combined with the REIT substantially completing the refinancing of its 2025 debt maturities, continued to strengthen the REIT's financial position."

Q2-2025 highlights

  • The REIT's core portfolio occupancy([1]) excluding assets held for sale at the end of Q2-2025 was approximately 93% which remained above the average occupancy for the markets in which the REIT operates. The REIT also had a weighted average lease term ("WALT")(1) of 4.2 years excluding investment properties held for sale.
  • The REIT contractually leased or renewed approximately 291,600 square feet with a WALT of 4.4 years with positive leasing spreads on renewals reported at 0.6% for the quarter.
  • The REIT's Q2-2025 revenue and Net Operating Income ("NOI")(1) decreased relative to the three months ended June 30, 2024 ("Q2-2024") by 13% and 21% (YTD-2025 - 9% and 17%), respectively, primarily due to the disposition activity in 2024, a decrease in occupancy for the REIT's held for sale properties and termination income amounts included in Q2-2024 with no comparable amounts in Q2-2025 (the "Primary Variance Driver"), partially offset by contractual rent increases achieved by the REIT throughout 2024 and YTD-2025.
  • Q2-2025 same property net operating income ("Same Property NOI")(1) excluding the impact of termination income in both periods, decreased by approximately 5% primarily due to a reduction in occupancy for the REIT's Alberta portfolio and the finalization of an early termination of a tenant in the REIT's Greater Toronto Area ("GTA") portfolio completed in Q1-2025, which space has been re-leased with a new tenant for a ten-year lease term commencing in 2026. Excluding the impact of these items, the REIT's Same Property NOI would have been relatively in line with Q2-2024.
  • The REIT's Q2-2025 funds from operations ("FFO")(1) and adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO")(1) decreased by $3,440 and $4,063 (YTD-2025 - $4,199 and $4,894), respectively when compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to the reduction in NOI described above and increase in interest costs.
  • Q2-2025 FFO and AFFO basic and diluted per trust units ("Unit")(1) decreased from $0.65 and $0.66 in Q2-2024 to $0.45 and $0.42 respectively due to the reasons outlined above, partially offset by the impact of a reduction in number of outstanding Units as a result of repurchases under the the normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") program during 2024 and 2025.

___________________________________________

1  This is a non-IFRS financial measure, refer to "Non-IFRS measures".

YTD highlights

  • The REIT contractually leased and renewed approximately 437,500 square feet with a WALT of 4.8 years and a 0.8% increase over expiring base rents relative to the six months ended June 30, 2024 ("YTD-2024").
  • The REIT continued the NCIB with YTD-2025 completing the repurchase of 110,700 Units for cash of $1,021 under 2024 NCIB at a weighted average price of $9.23 per Unit.
  • On March 18, 2025, the REIT announced the reinstatement of the monthly distribution ("Distribution Reinstatement") to Unitholders, which commenced with a record date of March 31, 2025, payable on April 15, 2025, amounting to $0.0575 per Unit per month. For YTD-2025, the REIT's AFFO payout ratio was 41%.
  • During YTD-2025, the REIT successfully completed $215,800 of refinancing or approximately 86% of the 2025 maturities and $4,500 of new financing at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.72% and weighted average term of approximately 3.1 years and has substantially finalized terms on the remaining 2025 maturities which are with lenders the REIT has longstanding relationships with. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, the REIT successfully secured a second mortgage in the amount of $4,000, with a three-year term at an interest rate of 9%. The REIT continues to focus on managing its debt maturity profile to strengthen the REIT's financial position.

Subsequent events

On August 6, 2025, the REIT successfully secured a second mortgage in the amount of $4,000, with a three-year term at an interest rate of 9%.

Operating results

The REIT's Q2-2025 revenue and NOI decreased relative to Q2-2024 by 13% and 21% (YTD-2025 - 9% and 17%), respectively, primarily due to the Primary Variance Driver, partially offset by contractual rent increases achieved by the REIT throughout 2024 and YTD-2025.

(1) Excluding assets held for sale.

Q2-2025 Same Property NOI excluding assets held for sale decreased by approximately 11% (YTD-2025 - 3%) compared to the same period in 2024. Q2-2025 Same Property NOI excluding the impact of termination income in both periods, decreased by approximately 5% primarily due to the decline in occupancy for the REIT's Alberta portfolio and the finalization of an early termination of a tenant in the REIT's GTA portfolio completed in Q1-2025, which space has been re-leased with a new tenant for a ten-year lease term commencing in 2026. Excluding the impact of these items, the REIT's Q2-2025 Same Property NOI would have been relatively in line with Q2-2024.

Q2-2025 Alberta Same Property NOI decreased by 16% primarily attributable to the downsizing of a tenant in the Calgary portfolio. Q2-2025 British Columbia Same Property NOI decreased by 33% primarily as a result of an expiring lease not renewed at the beginning of 2025 which was partially re-leased (23% of the non-renewed space) subsequent to June 30, 2025 with the new lease commencing by the end of 2025. Excluding these items, Q2-2025 Same Property NOI for British Columbia remained consistent relative to Q2-2024.

Q2-2025 New Brunswick Same Property NOI increased by 9% compared to Q2-2024, primarily due new lease commencements in 2024 and contractual rent increases. Occupancy is positively impacted by new leases and a lease expansion commencing in the second half of 2024. Q2-2025 Nova Scotia Same Property NOI increased by 21% as a result of the increase in occupancy between the two periods as well as contractual rent increases.

Q2-2025 Ontario Same Property NOI decreased by 13% relative to Q2-2024, primarily due to lower occupancy, driven by the early termination of a certain tenant in the REIT's GTA portfolio during Q1-2025 which space has been re-leased with a new tenant for a ten-year lease term commencing in 2026. Excluding the impact of the early termination mentioned, Q2-2025 Same Property NOI for Ontario would have been relatively consistent with the same period in the prior year.

Forward-looking statements

Certain statements contained in this press release constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purposes of assisting the reader in understanding the REIT's financial performance, financial position and cash flows as at and for the periods ended on certain dates and to present information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that such statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. Forward-looking information may relate to future results, performance, debt financing, achievements, events, prospects or opportunities for the REIT or the real estate industry and may include statements regarding the financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs, capital expenditures, financial results, taxes, distributions, plans, the benefits and renewal of the NCIB, or through other capital programs, the impact of the consolidation (the "Unit Consolidation") and objectives of or involving the REIT. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by such terms as "may", "might", "will", "could", "should", "would", "expect", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "intend", "seek", "aim", "estimate", "target", "goal", "project", "predict", "forecast", "potential", "continue", "likely", or the negative thereof or other similar expressions suggesting future outcomes or events.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may be general or specific and which give rise to the possibility that expectations, forecasts, predictions, projections or conclusions will not prove to be accurate, assumptions may not be correct and objectives, strategic goals and priorities may not be achieved. A variety of factors, many of which are beyond the REIT's control, affect the operations, performance and results of the REIT and its business, and could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations of estimated or anticipated events or results. These factors include, but are not limited to: risks and uncertainties related to the Units and trading value of the Units; risks related to the REIT and its business; fluctuating interest rates and general economic conditions, including potential higher levels of inflation; the impact of any tariffs and retaliatory tariffs on the economy, credit, market, operational and liquidity risks generally; occupancy levels and defaults, including the failure to fulfill contractual obligations by tenants; lease renewals and rental increases; the ability to re-lease and secure new tenants for vacant space; the timing and ability of the REIT to acquire or sell certain properties; work-from-home flexibility initiatives on the business, operations and financial condition of the REIT and its tenants, as well as on consumer behavior and the economy in general; the ability to enforce leases, perform capital expenditure work, increase rents, raise capital through the issuance of Units or other securities of the REIT; the benefits of any NCIB program, or through other capital programs; the ability of the REIT to continue to pay distributions in future periods; and obtain mortgage financing on the REIT's properties and for potential acquisitions or to refinance debt at maturity on similar terms. The foregoing is not an exhaustive list of factors that may affect the REIT's forward-looking statements. Other risks and uncertainties not presently known to the REIT could also cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in its forward-looking statements. The reader is cautioned to consider these and other factors, uncertainties and potential events carefully and not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements as there can be no assurance actual results will be consistent with such forward-looking statements.

Information contained in forward-looking statements is based upon certain material assumptions applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including management's perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other considerations believed to be appropriate in the circumstances. There can be no assurance regarding: (a) work-from-home initiatives on the REIT's business, operations and performance, including the performance of its Units; (b) the REIT's ability to mitigate any impacts related to fluctuating interest rates, potential higher levels of inflation; the impact of any current or future tariffs and the shift to hybrid working; (c) the factors, risks and uncertainties expressed above in regards to the hybrid work environment on the commercial real estate industry and property occupancy levels; (d) credit, market, operational, and liquidity risks generally; (e) the availability of investment opportunities for growth in Canada and the timing and ability of the REIT to acquire or sell certain properties; (f) repurchasing Units under the NCIB; (g) Starlight Group Property Holdings Inc., or any of its affiliates, continuing as asset manager of the REIT in accordance with its current asset management agreement; (h) the benefits of the NCIB, or through other capital programs; (i) the impact of the Unit Consolidation; (j) the availability of debt financing for potential acquisitions or refinancing loans at maturity on similar terms; (k) the ability of the REIT to continue to pay distributions in future periods; and (l) other risks inherent to the REIT's business and/or factors beyond its control which could have a material adverse effect on the REIT.

The forward-looking statements made relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made. Except as specifically required by applicable Canadian law, the REIT undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
