OTTAWA, ON, March 4, 2026 /CNW/ - Minto Apartment Real Estate Investment Trust (the "REIT") (TSX: MI.UN) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 ("Q4 2025" and "FY 2025", respectively). The Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for Q4 2025 and FY 2025 are available on the REIT's website at www.mintoapartmentreit.com and at www.sedarplus.ca.1

"We generated solid operating performance in the fourth quarter, underpinned by steady growth in unfurnished suite revenue of 1.9% and 23.6% growth in commercial revenue," said Jonathan Li, President and Chief Executive Officer of the REIT. "Our average monthly rent has continued to increase despite the impact of new rental supply across our markets and slower population growth, reflecting the effectiveness of our active management and strategic leasing initiatives. Overall, we were able to grow our Normalized FFO and AFFO per unit by prudent capital allocation and disciplined operating expense management which more than offset the loss of interest income from the repayment of two CDLs. Additionally, we are pleased with the advances in our organic growth strategy, as our two Toronto development projects, 610 Martin Grove and The Towns at York Mills & Leslie, recently welcomed their first tenants."

  • Average occupancy of unfurnished suites was 94.9%, compared to 96.3% in Q4 2024;

  • On November 4, 2025, the REIT announced that its Board of Trustees approved a 2.9% increase to the REIT's annual distribution, raising it from $0.5200 to $0.5350 per Unit. The monthly distribution increased to $0.04458 per Unit from $0.04333 per Unit; and
  • On December 15, 2025, the REIT declared a special non-cash distribution of $0.21 per Unit ("Special Distribution"). On December 31, 2025, in connection with the Special Distribution, the REIT issued 575,703 Units at a price of $13.3627 per Unit, for a total value of approximately $7.7 million. The Special Distribution was made to distribute a portion of the capital gains realized by the REIT from the sale of an investment property completed during FY 2025. Immediately following the issuance, the Units were consolidated such that each Unitholder held the same number of Units as each Unitholder held prior to the Special Distribution.

The Arrangement

  • On January 5, 2026, the REIT entered into an arrangement agreement with Crestpoint Real Estate (Pine) Limited Partnership ("Crestpoint"), Minto Properties Inc. ("MPI"), and Minto Apartment GP Inc., in respect of a statutory plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement"). Under the terms of the Arrangement, among other things, Crestpoint will acquire all of the trust units of the REIT (each, a "Unit"), other than Units held directly or indirectly by MPI and certain senior officers of MPI and the REIT, for consideration of $18.00 per Unit in an all cash transaction.
  • The Arrangement was approved by the holders (the "Unitholders") of Units and special voting units of the REIT at a special meeting of Unitholders held on March 3, 2026.
  • The completion of the Arrangement remains subject to the waiver or satisfaction of conditions customary for transactions of this nature, including, among others: court and regulatory approvals, and the consent of Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and certain lenders to the REIT. Completion is expected to occur in the second half of 2026, after which the Units will be delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange and the REIT will cease to be a reporting issuer.

Summary of Q4 2025 Operating Results

SPP Revenue and Net Operating Income

The REIT generated SPP revenue growth of 1.7% in Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024, reflecting a 1.9% increase in unfurnished suite revenue, primarily due to a 3.9% increase in SPP average monthly rent, as well as a 23.6% increase in commercial revenue that reflected the commencement of two new leases during FY 2025. This growth was partially offset by lower average occupancy for unfurnished suites and the use of promotions resulting from elevated rental supply across the REIT's markets. Management has actively driven leasing activity to absorb vacancy and, in doing so, has offered targeted promotions consistent with current market practices. SPP revenue growth was also partially offset by lower revenue from furnished suites. The REIT has continued to wind down its furnished suite portfolio, converting 23 furnished suites to unfurnished since Q4 2024. The pace of conversions at each property is subject to local market leasing conditions in order to optimize yields and FFO and AFFO per unit.

SPP NOI was $24.6 million in Q4 2025, an increase of 2.8% compared to Q4 2024, as SPP revenue outgrew SPP operating expenses. Property operating costs were flat year-over-year, as lower repair and maintenance expenses were largely offset by higher marketing costs to drive leasing activity. Property taxes were also effectively flat compared to Q4 2024, as lower assessed values and rates in Calgary were offset by increased rates in Montreal, Toronto, and Ottawa. Utilities costs increased 1.0% compared to Q4 2024, driven by a 1.4% increase in electricity expense due to higher consumption from a colder start to winter and higher average rates, and a 2.8% increase in water expense resulting from an increase in average rates. Natural gas costs were flat compared to Q4 2024, as the cancellation of the carbon tax was largely offset by an increase in consumption. SPP NOI margin was 63.6% in Q4 2025, an increase of 60 bps compared to 63.0% in Q4 2024.

Normalized FFO and AFFO per Unit

Normalized FFO and AFFO per unit increased by 0.8% and 0.2%, respectively, in Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024. The growth reflects the accretive effect of Unit buybacks, higher SPP NOI, and increased management fee income, partially offset by lower interest income following the repayment of two convertible development loans and increased interest costs resulting from additional financings completed in Q4 2024 and Q1 2025.

NAV per unit and IFRS Net Income and Comprehensive Income

The REIT's net asset value ("NAV") per unit as at December 31, 2025 was $18.64, a 17.0% decrease compared to $22.45 as at September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to a non-cash fair value loss on investment properties of $240.1 million in Q4 2025, driven by capitalization rate expansion, a reduction in forecast NOI, an increase in the capital expenditure reserve for the portfolio, resulting from, in part, the investment property value implied within the Arrangement.

The REIT reported a net loss and comprehensive loss of $228.6 million in Q4 2025, compared to net income and comprehensive income of $91.1 million in Q4 2024. The variance was primarily attributable to the non-cash fair value loss on investment properties of $240.1 million in Q4 2025, as noted above, which was larger than the comparable loss of $11.7 million recorded in Q4 2024 and a smaller non-cash fair value gain on Class B LP Units in Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024. The gain was $3.9 million in Q4 2025, compared to $91.4 million in Q4 2024.

Gain-on-Lease, Gain-to-Lease Potential, Suite Turnover and Suite Repositioning

The REIT generated organic growth through 390 new leases signed in Q4 2025, achieving an average gain-on-lease of 0.9%. The realized gain-on-lease contracted from the third quarter of FY 2025 ("Q3 2025") as market rents declined, particularly in Vancouver and Calgary, and turnover remained lower for suites with tenants whose sitting rents are well below current market rates.

The REIT estimates a gain-to-lease potential of 6.0% as at December 31, 2025, representing future annualized potential revenue of approximately $8.4 million.

SPP annualized turnover increased to 25% in Q4 2025, compared to 22% in Q4 2024, reflecting increased supply across the REIT's markets, particularly Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver. SPP closing occupancy was 95.5% in Q4 2025, a sequential decline of 100 bps compared to Q3 2025, reflecting the elevated turnover rate, coupled with the start of the seasonally slower winter leasing season.

The REIT repositioned a total of 10 suites across its portfolio in Q4 2025, generating an average annual unlevered return on investment of 9.2%. A total of 56 suites were repositioned in FY 2025, compared to 48 in 2024.

Balance Sheet

As at December 31, 2025, the REIT had, on a Proportionate Share Basis, Total Debt outstanding of $1.2 billion, with a weighted average effective interest rate on Term Debt of 3.65% and a weighted average term to maturity on Term Debt of 4.83 years. The REIT's Proportionate Debt-to-Gross Book Value ratio was 48.9%, compared to 42.5% as at December 31, 2024, and its Proportionate Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio was 11.88x, compared to 11.04x as at December 31, 2024.

The REIT continues to maintain a strong financial position. Total liquidity on a Proportionate Share Basis was approximately $116.7 million as at December 31, 2025, with a liquidity ratio (Total liquidity/Total Debt) of 9.9% on a Proportionate Share Basis.

Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures

This news release contains certain non-IFRS and other financial measures which are measures commonly used by publicly traded entities in the real estate industry. Management believes that these metrics are useful for measuring different aspects of performance and assessing the underlying operating and financial performance on a consistent basis. However, these measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other publicly traded entities. These measures should strictly be considered supplemental in nature and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. The REIT has adopted the guidance under NI 52-112 Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure for the purpose of this news release. These non-IFRS and other financial measures are defined below:

  • "AFFO" is defined as FFO adjusted for items such as maintenance capital expenditures, straight-line rental revenue differences, and direct leasing costs. 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. The REIT's method of calculating AFFO is substantially in accordance with REALPAC's recommendations under the revised publication titled ''REALPAC Funds from Operations (FFO) & Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) for IFRS'' published in January 2022, except that it adjusts for certain non-cash items (such as adjustments for the amortization of mark-to-market adjustments related to debt), but may differ from other issuers' methods and, accordingly, may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other issuers. The REIT regards AFFO as a key measure of operating performance. The REIT also uses AFFO in assessing its capacity to make distributions.
  • "AFFO per unit" is calculated as AFFO divided by the weighted average number of Units of the REIT and Class B limited partnership units of Minto Apartment Limited Partnership outstanding over the period. The REIT regards AFFO per unit as a key measure of operating performance.
  • "AFFO payout ratio" is the proportion of per unit distributions on Units of the REIT and Class B limited partnership units of Minto Apartment Limited Partnership, excluding special non-cash distributions, to AFFO per unit. The REIT uses AFFO payout ratio in assessing its capacity to make distributions.
  • "annualized turnover" is calculated as the number of move-outs for the period divided by total number of unfurnished suites in the portfolio. This percentage is extrapolated to determine an annual rate.
  • "average annual unlevered return" refers to the return on repositioning activities, and is calculated by dividing the average annual rental increase per suite after repositioning by the average repositioning cost per suite, excluding the impact of financing costs.
  • "average monthly rent" represents the average monthly rent per suite for occupied unfurnished suites at the end of the period on a Proportionate Share Basis.
  • "average occupancy" is defined as the ratio of occupied unfurnished suites to the weighted average of the total unfurnished suites in the portfolio for the period on a Proportionate Share Basis.
  • "closing occupancy" is defined as the ratio of occupied unfurnished suites to the total unfurnished suites in the portfolio at the end of the period on a Proportionate Share Basis.
  • "Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio" is calculated by dividing interest-bearing debt (net of cash) by Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure and is used for evaluation of the REIT's financial health and liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as the trailing twelve-month NOI adjusted for a full year of stabilized earnings including finance income, fees and other income and general and administrative expenses from recently completed acquisitions or dispositions, but excluding fair value adjustments. The REIT regards Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio as a measure of financial health and liquidity.
  • "Debt-to-Gross Book Value ratio" is calculated by dividing total interest-bearing debt consisting of fixed and variable-rate mortgages, credit facility, construction loans and Class C limited partnership units of Minto Apartment Limited Partnership by Gross Book Value and is used as the REIT's primary measure of its leverage.
  • "FFO" is defined as IFRS consolidated net income adjusted for items such as unrealized changes in the fair value of investment properties, effects of puttable instruments classified as financial liabilities, and changes in fair value of financial instruments and derivatives. 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. The REIT's method of calculating FFO is substantially in accordance with REALPAC's recommendations under the revised publication titled ''REALPAC Funds from Operations (FFO) & Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) for IFRS'' published in January 2022, but may differ from other issuers' methods and, accordingly, may not be comparable to FFO reported by other issuers. The REIT regards FFO as a key measure of operating performance.
  • "FFO per unit" is calculated as FFO divided by the weighted average number of Units of the REIT and Class B limited partnership units of Minto Apartment Limited Partnership outstanding over the period. The REIT regards FFO per unit as a key measure of operating performance.
  • "gain-on-lease" refers to the gap between rents achieved on new leases of unfurnished suites as compared to expiring leases.
  • "gain-to-lease potential" refers to the gap between Management's estimate of monthly market rent and average monthly in-place rent per occupied unfurnished suite.
  • "Gross Book Value" is calculated as the total assets of the REIT as at the applicable balance sheet date.
  • "NAV" is calculated as the sum of the value of REIT Unitholders' equity and Class B limited partnership units of Minto Apartment Limited Partnership as at the applicable balance sheet date.
  • "NAV per unit" is calculated by dividing NAV by the number of Units of the REIT and Class B limited partnership units of Minto Apartment Limited Partnership outstanding as at the applicable balance sheet date.
  • "NOI" is defined as revenue from investment properties less property operating costs, property taxes and utilities (collectively referred to as "property operating expenses" or "operating expenses") prepared in accordance with IFRS. 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 income-producing properties and is used by Management in evaluating the performance of the REIT's properties. It is also a key input in determining the value of the REIT's properties.
  • "NOI margin" is defined as NOI divided by revenue from investment properties.
  • "Normalized AFFO" is calculated as AFFO net of nonrecurring items that occurred during the period which are not indicative of the REIT's typical operating results.
  • "Normalized AFFO per unit" is calculated as Normalized AFFO divided by the weighted average number of Units of the REIT and Class B limited partnership units of Minto Apartment Limited Partnership outstanding over the period.
  • "Normalized AFFO payout ratio" is the proportion of the per unit distributions on Units of the REIT and Class B limited partnership units of Minto Apartment Limited Partnership, excluding special non-cash distributions, to Normalized AFFO per unit.
  • "Normalized FFO" is calculated as FFO net of nonrecurring items that occurred during the period which are not indicative of the REIT's typical operating results.
  • "Normalized FFO per unit" is calculated as Normalized FFO divided by the weighted average number of Units of the REIT and Class B limited partnership units of Minto Apartment Limited Partnership outstanding over the period.
  • "Proportionate Share Basis" represents financial information adjusted to reflect the REIT's effective ownership share of joint venture results on a proportionately consolidated basis. This adjustment addresses the accounting difference arising from the use of the equity method for joint ventures under IFRS.
  • "Term Debt" is calculated as the sum of the amortized cost of fixed-rate mortgages, a variable-rate mortgage fixed through an interest rate swap and Class C LP Units.
  • "Total Debt" is calculated as the sum of the amortized cost of interest-bearing debt consisting of a variable-rate credit facility and fixed-rate debt comprised of mortgages, a variable-rate mortgage fixed through an interest rate swap, Class C LP Units, and fixed and variable-rate construction loans.
  • "Total liquidity" is calculated as the sum of the undrawn balance under the revolving credit facility and cash.
  • "weighted average effective interest rate on Term Debt" is calculated as the weighted average of the effective interest rates on the outstanding balances of fixed-rate mortgages, a variable-rate mortgage fixed through an interest rate swap and Class C limited partnership units of Minto Apartment Limited Partnership on a Proportionate Share Basis.
  • "weighted average term to maturity on Term Debt" is calculated as the weighted average of the term to maturity on the outstanding fixed-rate mortgages, a variable-rate mortgage fixed through an interest rate swap and Class C limited partnership units of Minto Apartment Limited Partnership on a Proportionate Share Basis.
