BTB Q4 & Year-End 2025 Results: Great leasing traction with Rent Renewal Rates Increase of 10.6% and leasing activity totalling 742,162 square feet for the year Français
MONTRÉAL, Feb. 24, 2026 /CNW/ - BTB Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX: BTB.UN) ("BTB", the "REIT" or the "Trust") releases today its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31st, 2025.
"BTB's performance in 2025 reflects healthy results across leasing, rental income and financial metrics. Our portfolio continued to demonstrate operational resilience and sustained progress throughout the year." says Michel Léonard, President and CEO of BTB. "During 2025, we have concluded new leases and lease renewals totalling over 742,000 square feet, representing a significant 12.4% of our portfolio's leasable area. Of this annual figure, we concluded lease renewals for over 473,000 square feet, while we concluded new leases with new tenants for more than 268,000 square feet. For the year, the increase in the average rent renewal rate was a positive 10.6%, demonstrating the strength of our assets in supporting rental growth. We own two industrial properties that remained vacant during the year, one of 132,665 square feet and the other of 24,014 square feet, which affected our occupancy rate and brought it to 91.3% at year end. We made significant efforts to lease these two properties and are confident that they will be leased during 2026.
Turning to financial metrics, for the year 2025, our rental revenue totalled $130.1M, representing an increase of $0.1M compared to 2024. Our cash same-property NOI¹ increased by 2.0% compared to the same period in 2024. As for our AFFO adjusted per unit¹, it increased by 0.7¢ per unit compared to the previous year, reaching 38.8¢ per unit for 2025. The AFFO adjusted payout ratio¹ was 77.3% for the year compared to 78.7% for the same period in 2024, a decrease of 1.4%. Our debt metrics are also in good standing, with a total debt ratio¹ of 57.0%, representing a decrease of 90 basis points compared to December 31, 2024.
In 2025, we completed the sale of three non-strategic properties, thereby continuing to redeploy the net proceeds generated by these sales toward industrial assets to optimize our portfolio.
Alongside these investment activities, we proudly highlight our ESG achievements, having obtained 13 new BOMA BEST certifications across our province of Quebec portfolio. Thanks to the close collaboration of our leadership, operations, and property management teams, we continued our efforts towards our shared ESG commitments and sustainability goals.
As we move into 2026, we continue to focus on bringing our vision to fruition, strengthening our portfolio and delivering sustainable value to our stakeholders."

- During the fourth quarter, the Trust total leasing activity was 150,398 square feet including lease renewals totaling 117,190 square feet and new leases totaling 33,208 square feet. The increase in the average lease renewal rental rate for the current quarter was 6.7%.
For the year 2025, the Trust total leasing activity was 742,162 square feet thereby completing lease renewals totaling 473,837 square feet and new leases totaling 268,325 square feet. In 2025, the increase in the average rent renewal rate was 10.6%. At the end of the year, the occupancy rate of the portfolio stood at 91.3%, a 20 basis points decrease compared to the prior quarter and a 140 basis points decrease compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease in the occupancy rate is primarily due to the departure of two industrial tenants that occupied respectively 24,014 square feet (planned departure) and 32,750 square feet (forced departure), both located in Edmonton, Alberta. The Trust has already retained the services of a national commercial brokerage firm specialized in the industrial sector to lease both properties.

- Rental revenue:
Stood at $32.3 million for the quarter, which represents a decrease of $0.3 million or 1.0% compared to the same quarter of 2024.
For the year 2025, rental revenue totalled $130.1 million, representing an increase of $0.1 million or 0.1% compared to the same period in 2024. - Net operating income (NOI):
Totalled $18.2 million for the quarter, which represents a decrease of $0.8 million or 4.4% compared to the same quarter of 2024.
For the year 2025, the NOI totalled $75.1 million, a stable result compared to the same period in 2024. - Cash net operating income (Cash NOI) (1):
Totalled $18.7 million for the quarter, which represents a decrease of $1.0 million or 5.1% compared to the same quarter of 2024.
For the year 2025, the Cash NOI totalled $78.5 million, which represents an increase of $1.5 million or 1.9% compared to the same period in 2024. The recorded increase is driven by (1) a $1.1 million lease cancellation payment received from an industrial tenant with a planned departure at the end of the first quarter of 2026, (2) a partial lease cancellation payment of $1.0 million recorded in the first quarter of the year from a tenant in the suburban office segment, which space has already been re-leased by the Trust, (3) operating improvements, new leases concluded, higher lease renewal rental rates, and increases in rental spreads for in-place leases representing an increase of $0.1 million, and (4) a decrease of $0.7 million as a result of dispositions concluded during the year. - Net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss):
As a result of a reduction of the fair value of investment properties of $4.7 million reflecting, in part, a minor increase in capitalization rates (non-cash net decrease of $15.0 million) when compared to the recorded gain in fair value in 2024 of $10.3 million. The Trust recorded a net loss of $0.9 million for the quarter, which represents a decrease of $19.8 million compared to the same quarter of 2024.
For the year 2025, net income and comprehensive income totalled $22.4 million, representing a decrease of $16.4 million compared to the same period of 2024. - Cash same-property NOI (1):
For the quarter, the cash same-property NOI decreased by 3.3% compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease for the quarter is mostly caused by the industrial segment namely (1) the new short term lease negotiated with the group of investors who purchased Lion Electric showing a rent reduction of $0.2 million and (2) free rent granted to a new tenant in Edmonton with whom a lease was concluded in the third quarter of 2025 ($0.1 million). The office segment was also negatively impacted by (1) non recoverable one-time expenses ($0.4 million) and (2) free rent granted to a new tenant in Ottawa ($0.4 million). The retail segment was positively impacted by a new major tenant in Levis, whose lease began on February 25, 2025.
For the year 2025, the cash same-property NOI increased by 2.0% compared to the same period in 2024. - FFO adjusted per unit (1):
Was 9.7¢ per unit for the quarter compared to 10.9¢ per unit for the same period in 2024, representing a decrease of 1.2¢ per unit.
For the year 2025, the FFO adjusted was 40.6¢ per unit compared to 42.2¢ per unit for the same period in 2024, representing a decrease of 1.6¢ per unit. The decrease was caused by the previously reported non-cash straight-line lease adjustments totalling $1.8 million recorded in the second quarter of 2025, namely : (1) an adjustment of $1.6 million due to the short term lease negotiated with the group of investors who purchased Lion Electric; and, (2) an adjustment of $0.2 million due to the early departure of an industrial tenant in Edmonton, which property was rapidly entirely re-leased, on a long term basis. - AFFO adjusted per unit (1):
Was 8.8¢ per unit for the quarter compared to 10.1¢ per unit for the same period in 2024, representing a decrease of 1.3¢ per unit.
For the year 2025, the AFFO adjusted per unit was 38.8¢ per unit compared to 38.1¢ per unit for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of 0.7¢ per unit. The increase is explained by: (1) the previously outlined $1.5 million increase in Cash NOI; (2) a $0.5 million decrease in administrative corporate expenses; (3) a $0.3 million increase in expected credit losses and, (4) stable interest expense net of financial income and, (5) a $0.5 million increase in accretion of non-derivative liability component of convertible debentures. - AFFO adjusted payout ratio (1):
For the year 2025, the AFFO adjusted payout ratio was 77.3% compared to 78.7% for the same period in 2024, a decrease of 1.4%. - Dispositions:
On October 30, 2025, the Trust disposed of its 50% interest in a retail property located at 5791 Laurier Blvd, Terrebonne, for total gross proceeds of $3.1 million, excluding transaction costs and adjustments.

APPENDIX 1: RECONCILIATION OF NON-IFRS MEASURES
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
Certain terms used in this press release are listed and defined in the table hereafter, including any per unit information if applicable, are not measures recognized by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. Such measures may differ from similar computations as reported by similar entities and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures. Explanations on how these non-IFRS financial measures provide useful information to investors and additional purposes, if any, for which the Trust uses these non- IFRS financial measures, are also included in the table hereafter.
Securities regulations require that non-IFRS financial measures be clearly defined and that they not be assigned greater weight than IFRS measures. The referred non-IFRS financial measures, which are reconciled to the most similar IFRS measure in the table thereafter if applicable, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and these measures cannot be compared to similar measures used by other issuers.
NON-IFRS MEASURE |
DEFINITION |
Adjusted net income |
Adjusted net income is a non-IFRS financial measure that starts with net income and comprehensive income and removes the effects of: (i) fair value adjustment of investment properties; (ii) fair value adjustment of derivative financial instruments; (iii) fair value adjustment of Class B LP units; and (iv) transaction costs incurred for acquisitions and dispositions of investment properties and early repayment fees. The Trust considers this to be a useful measure of operating performance, as fair value adjustments can fluctuate widely with the real estate market and transaction costs are non-recurring in nature. |
NON-IFRS MEASURE |
DEFINITION |
Cash Net Operating Income |
Cash net operating income ("Cash NOI") is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as net operating income less: (i) lease incentive amortization; and (ii) straight-line lease adjustment. Cash NOI is reconciled to NOI, which is the most directly comparable IFRS measure. The Trust considers this to be a useful measure of operating performance and the profitability of it's portfolio by excluding non-cash items. |
Cash same-property NOI |
Cash same-property NOI is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as Cash net operating income ("NOI") for the properties that the Trust owned and operated for the entire duration of both the current year and the previous year. The most directly comparable IFRS measure to same-property Cash NOI is Operating Income. The Trust believes this is a useful measure as Cash NOI growth can be assessed on its portfolio by excluding the impact of property acquisitions and dispositions of both the current year and previous year. The Trust uses the Cash same-property NOI to indicate the profitability of its existing portfolio operations and the Trust's ability to increase its revenues, reduce its operating costs and generate organic growth. |
NON-IFRS MEASURE |
DEFINITION |
Funds from Operations ("FFO") and FFO Adjusted |
FFO is a non-IFRS financial measure used by most Canadian real estate investment trusts based on a standardized definition established by REALPAC in its January 2022 White Paper ("White Paper"). FFO is defined as net income and comprehensive income less certain adjustments, on a proportionate basis, including: (i) fair value adjustments on investment properties, class B LP units and derivative financial instruments; (ii) amortization of lease incentives; (iii) incremental leasing costs; (iv) leasing payroll expenses; (v) unit-based compensation; and (vi) distribution on class B LP units. FFO is reconciled to net income and comprehensive income, which is the most directly comparable IFRS measure. FFO is also reconciled with the cash flows from operating activities, which is an IFRS measure. FFO Adjusted is also a non-IFRS financial measure that starts with FFO and remove the impact of non-recurring items such as transaction cost on acquisitions and dispositions of investment properties and early mortgage repayment fees. The Trust believes FFO and FFO Adjusted are key measures of operating performance and allow the investors to compare its historical performance. |
Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO") and AFFO Adjusted |
AFFO is a non-IFRS financial measure used by most Canadian real estate investment trusts based on a standardized definition established by REALPAC in its White Paper. AFFO is defined as FFO less: (i) straight- line rental revenue adjustment; (ii) accretion of effective interest; (iii) amortization of other property and equipment; (iv) unit-based compensation expenses; (v) provision for non-recoverable capital expenditures; and (vi) provision for unrecovered rental fees (related to regular leasing expenditures). AFFO is reconciled to net income and comprehensive income, which is the most directly comparable IFRS measure. AFFO is also reconciled with the cash flows from operating activities, which is an IFRS measure. AFFO Adjusted is also a non-IFRS financial measure that starts with AFFO and removes the impact of non-recurring items such as transaction costs on acquisitions and dispositions of investment properties and early mortgage repayment fees. The Trust considers AFFO and AFFO Adjusted to be useful measures of recurring economic earnings and relevant in understanding its ability to service its debt, fund capital expenditures and provide distributions to unitholders. |
NON-IFRS MEASURE |
DEFINITION |
FFO and AFFO per unit and FFO adjusted and AFFO adjusted per unit |
FFO and AFFO per unit and FFO adjusted and AFFO adjusted per unit are non-IFRS financial measures used by most Canadian real estate investment trusts based on a standardized definition established by REALPAC in its White Paper. These ratios are calculated by dividing the FFO, AFFO, FFO adjusted and AFFO adjusted by the Weighted average number of units and Class B LP units outstanding. The Trust believes these metrics to be key measures of operating performances allowing the investors to compare its historical performance in relation to an individual per unit investment in the Trust. |
FFO and AFFO payout ratios and FFO Adjusted and AFFO Adjusted payout ratios |
FFO and AFFO payout ratios and FFO Adjusted and AFFO Adjusted payout ratios are non-IFRS financial measures used by most Canadian real estate investment trusts based on a standardized definition established by REALPAC in its White Paper. These payout ratios are calculated by dividing the actual distributions per unit by FFO, AFFO and FFO Adjusted and AFFO Adjusted per unit in each period. The Trust considers these metrics a useful way to evaluate its distribution paying capacity. |
Total Debt Ratio |
Total debt ratio is a non-IFRS financial measure of the Trust financial leverage, which is calculated by taking the total long-term debt less cash divided by total gross value of the assets of the Trust less cash. The Trust considers this metric useful as it indicates its ability to meet its debt obligations and its capacity for future additional acquisitions. |
Total Mortgage Debt Ratio |
Mortgage debt ratio is a non-IFRS financial measure of the Trust financial leverage, which is calculated by taking the total mortgage debt less cash divided by total gross value of the assets of the Trust less cash. The Trust considers this metric useful as it indicates its ability to meet its mortgage debt obligations and its capacity for future additional acquisitions. |
NON-IFRS MEASURE |
DEFINITION |
Interest Coverage Ratio |
Interest coverage ratio is a non-IFRS financial measure which is calculated by taking the Adjusted EBITDA divided by interest expenses net of financial income (interest expenses exclude early repayment fees, accretion of effective interest, distribution on Class B LP units, accretion of non-derivative liability component of convertible debentures and the fair value adjustment on derivative financial instruments and Class B LP units). The Trust considers this metric useful as it indicates its ability to meet its interest cost obligations for a given period. |
Debt Service Coverage Ratio |
Debt service coverage ratio is a non-IFRS financial measure which is calculated by taking the Adjusted EBITDA divided by the Debt Service Requirements, which consists of principal repayments and interest expenses net of financial income (interest expenses exclude early repayment fees, accretion of effective interest, distribution on Class B LP units, accretion of non-derivative liability component of convertible debentures and the fair value adjustment on derivative financial instruments and Class B LP units). The Trust considers this metric useful as it indicates its ability to meet its interest cost obligations for a given period. |
