BSR REIT ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. and TORONTO, Aug. 6, 2025 /CNW/ - BSR Real Estate Investment Trust ("BSR", or the "REIT") (TSX: HOM.U) (TSX: HOM.UN) today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 ("Q2 2025" and "YTD 2025," respectively). All comparisons are to the corresponding periods in the prior year. Results are presented in U.S. dollars. References to "Same Community" correspond to stabilized properties the REIT has owned for equivalent periods throughout YTD 2025 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 ("Q2 2024" and "YTD 2024," respectively). "Non-Same Community" properties include: Venue Craig Ranch Apartments, Forayna Vintage Park and Botanic Luxury Living (collectively, the "Property Acquisitions"); Aura 35Fifty, which was developed and completed in December 2024 (the "Non-Stabilized Property"); Bluff Creek Apartments, Cielo I, Cielo II, Retreat at Wolf Ranch, Auberry at Twin Creeks, Aura Benbrook, Lakeway Castle Hills, Satori Frisco, Vale Frisco and Wimberly (collectively, the "Property Dispositions"). The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are prepared in accordance with the accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards" or "GAAP"), and are available on the REIT's website at www.bsrreit.com and at www.sedarplus.ca.
A reconciliation of Funds from Operations ("FFO") and Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO") to net income and comprehensive income, as well as an expanded discussion of the components of FFO and AFFO, and a reconciliation of Net Asset Value ("NAV") to unitholders equity can be found under "Non-GAAP Measures" in this release. Calculations of FFO per Unit, AFFO per Unit and NAV per Unit include trust units of the REIT ("Units"), Class B Units of BSR Trust, LLC ("Class B Units") and issued deferred units of the REIT granted to trustees ("Deferred Units").
"Our second quarter results reflect the growing positive momentum supporting our business and reinforce our expected pivot to sustained growth in the quarters to come," said Dan Oberste, the REIT's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Just as we said we would, following the closing of our transformative dispositions earlier this year, our team was able to expeditiously and accretively redeploy a significant portion of the proceeds into two highly attractive assets in the north Houston market. Combined with our recent Dallas acquisition and lease up of our Austin development, we are excited about the opportunity this new crop of acquisitions brings to our residents and Unitholders. With additional capital ready to deploy and our Same-Community portfolio approaching an inflection point on blended trade-outs, we are highly confident in the REIT's increased growth trajectory."
Q2 2025 Highlights
- Same Community weighted average occupancy was 95.6% as of June 30, 2025, compared to 95.4% as of June 30, 2024;
- During Q2 2025, excluding short term leases, Same Community rental rates for new leases and renewals changed -3.7% and 1.7%, respectively, resulting in a -0.7% blended change over the prior leases. The blended decrease represents a 200 basis point sequential improvement relative to blended rates in the first three months of 2025;
- As of June 30, 2025, the occupancy of the Non-Stabilized Property was 59.7%, which is an improvement from 35.3% as of March 31, 2025;
- As of June 30, 2025, the REIT's total liquidity was $82.5 million;
- On April 3, 2025, the REIT entered into a new receive-variable based USD-SOFR CME/pay fixed interest rate swap with a notional value of $150.0 million at a fixed rate of 2.88% effective July 1, 2025, and maturing July 1, 2030, subject to the counterparty's optional early termination date of July 1, 2027;
- On April 30, 2025, the REIT sold six properties (Auberry at Twin Creeks, Aura Benbrook, Lakeway Castle Hills, Satori Frisco, Vale Frisco and Wimberly) comprising 1,844 apartment units located in Dallas, TX for $431.5 million (the "Contribution Transaction"). Under the Contribution Transaction, $193.0 million in cash was received and the balance was settled through the cancellation of 15,000,000 Class B Units; and
- On May 14, 2025, the REIT acquired Forayna Vintage Park, a 350-unit apartment community in Houston, TX and Botanic Luxury Living, a 288-unit apartment community in Spring, TX (Houston MSA) for $141.0 million. The REIT funded the transaction using the Credit Facility, a mortgage note and available cash.
Subsequent Highlight
- During July 2025, excluding short term leases, Same Community rental rates for new leases and renewals changed -1.5% and 2.8%, respectively, resulting in a 1.1% blended increase over the prior leases. The blended increase represents the first return to a positive blended spread since the third quarter of 2024.
Outlook and Guidance for 2025
Based on the Property Dispositions and Property Acquisitions to date, the financial results depicted throughout this document are inherently dissimilar from the comparative period results in the prior year. This is due to (1) the stabilized nature of the Property Dispositions (which were 95.8% occupied in aggregate at the time of their respective sales), (2) the timing related to the rotation of assets and full redeployment of proceeds from the Property Dispositions and (3) the overall portfolio concentration and occupancy of the current Non-Same Community properties as of June 30, 2025, which was 88.1% for the Property Acquisitions and 59.7% for our Non-Stabilized Property in Austin, which is still in the initial lease-up period.
As Property Acquisitions and the Non-Stabilized Property continue to perform through stabilization, comparisons of current performance to prior periods will become more meaningful. However, even once stabilized, there will continue to be some inherent differences when comparing to the prior year results, with the exception of metrics presented on a "per Unit" basis, given that a portion of the Contribution Transaction was recapitalized through the cancellation of 15,000,000 Class B Units.
Accordingly, the REIT has suspended the release of guidance. The REIT will revisit providing guidance in a future period.

Total portfolio revenue of $33.7 million for Q2 2025 decreased 20.2% compared to $42.2 million for Q2 2024. This decrease was primarily the result of the Property Dispositions which reduced revenue by $12.3 million and a $0.1 million reduction from Same Community properties (discussed below), partially offset by $3.8 million of revenue generated from the Property Acquisitions and the Non-Stabilized Property. Total revenue resulting from the Property Acquisitions and the Non-Stabilized Property is expected to continue to improve in future periods as the lease-up and operational enhancements continue to progress through stabilization.
Same Community revenue of $26.6 million for Q2 2025 decreased $0.1 million, or 0.2%, compared to $26.7 million for Q2 2024, primarily due to lower average monthly in-place leases of $1,440 as of June 30, 2025 as compared to $1,461 as of June 30, 2024. Lower average monthly rent was partially offset by higher occupancy and an increase in other property income, driven by enhanced resident participation in credit building services, an increase in utility reimbursements and an increase in properties receiving valet trash service over the prior year.
The change in net loss and comprehensive loss between Q2 2025 and Q2 2024 is primarily due to non-cash adjustments to the fair value of investment properties, partially offset by the non-cash adjustments to derivatives and other financial liabilities and the costs of dispositions. As such, the net loss and comprehensive loss is not considered comparable period over period.
Total portfolio NOI for Q2 2025 of $17.9 million decreased 26.0% from $24.1 million in Q2 2024. The decrease was the result of the Property Dispositions which reduced NOI by $7.3 million and a $0.7 million reduction from Same Community properties (described below), partially offset by the contribution of $1.8 million from Property Acquisitions.
Same Community NOI for Q2 2025 of $14.3 million decreased 4.9% from $15.1 million in Q2 2024 and was attributable to a $0.4 million increase in operating expenses, which include higher utility expenses, repair, maintenance and turnover expenses, partially offset by a reduction in property insurance costs, and a $0.3 million increase in real estate taxes as a result of higher tax assessments and fewer property tax refunds received in Q2 2025 as compared to Q2 2024, as well as the $0.1 million decrease in revenue described above.
FFO in Q2 2025 was $9.2 million, or $0.21 per Unit, compared to $14.1 million, or $0.26 per Unit, for Q2 2024. The decrease was primarily related to the decrease in NOI described above, partially offset by a decrease in net finance costs of $1.5 million (which resulted from the net paydown of debt following the Property Dispositions and Property Acquisitions). In addition, the reduction in FFO was also partially offset on a per Unit basis by the elimination of 15,000,000 Class B Units which were cancelled on April 30, 2025, in conjunction with the Contribution Transaction.
AFFO was $8.4 million, or $0.19 per Unit for Q2 2025 compared to $12.7 million, or $0.24 per Unit, for Q2 2024. The decrease in AFFO was primarily the result of the decrease in FFO, partially offset by a reduction in maintenance capital expenditures resulting from the Property Acquisitions and Property Dispositions. In addition, the reduction in AFFO was partially offset on a per Unit basis by the elimination of 15,000,000 Class B Units discussed above.
NAV was $653.3 million, or $16.74 per unit, as of June 30, 2025 compared to $901.3 million, or $16.75 per unit, as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in NAV from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025 was primarily due to the Contribution Transaction, which included the cancellation of 15,000,000 Class B Units which were exchanged by participating Class B Unitholders for new units of the purchaser, resulting in a $238.5 million decrease in Class B Units upon their cancellation. As this resulted in a reduction in the total unit count outstanding, NAV was flat on a per Unit basis.

Total portfolio revenue of $77.2 million for YTD 2025 decreased 8.4% compared to $84.2 million for YTD 2024. This decrease was the result of Property Dispositions which reduced revenue by $12.5 million, partially offset by contributions of $5.4 million from the Property Acquisitions and the Non-Stabilized Property, and $0.1 million from Same Community properties (discussed further below). Total revenue resulting from the Property Acquisitions and the Non-Stabilized Property is expected to continue to improve in future periods as the lease-up and operational enhancements continue to progress through stabilization.
Same Community revenue of $53.3 million for YTD 2025 increased $0.1 million, or 0.2%, compared to $53.2 million for YTD 2024, primarily due to a $0.1 million increase in other property income, driven by enhanced resident participation in credit building services, an increase in utility reimbursements and an increase in properties receiving valet trash service over the prior year.
The change in net loss and comprehensive loss between YTD 2025 and YTD 2024 is primarily due to non-cash adjustments to derivatives and other financial liabilities and the costs of dispositions, partially offset by non-cash adjustments to the fair value of investment properties. As such, the net loss and comprehensive loss is not considered comparable period over period.
Total portfolio NOI for YTD 2025 of $41.9 million decreased 12.6% from $47.9 million in YTD 2024. The decrease was the result of a reduction of $7.7 million from Property Dispositions, $0.4 million from the Non-Stabilized Property and $0.5 million from Same Community properties (described below), partially offset by contributions of $2.5 million from Property Acquisitions.
The 1.6% decrease in Same Community NOI for YTD 2025 of $29.1 million compared to $29.6 million in YTD 2024 was attributable to a $0.3 million increase in operating expenses, which includes higher payroll costs, higher utility expenses, repair, maintenance and unit turnover expenses, partially offset by a reduction in property insurance costs, as well as a $0.4 million increase in taxes, offset by the $0.1 million increase in other property income described above.
FFO in YTD 2025 was $21.6 million, or $0.44 per Unit, compared to $27.7 million, or $0.51 per Unit, for YTD 2024. The decrease was primarily related to the decrease in NOI described above. The reduction in FFO was partially offset on a per Unit basis by the elimination of 15,000,000 Class B Units which were cancelled on April 30, 2025, in conjunction with the Contribution Transaction.
AFFO was $20.2 million, or $0.41 per Unit for YTD 2025 compared to $25.6 million, or $0.48 per Unit, for YTD 2024. The decrease in AFFO was primarily the result of the decrease in FFO, partially offset by a reduction of maintenance capital expenditures resulting from the Property Acquisitions and Property Dispositions.

Liquidity and Capital Structure
As of June 30, 2025, the REIT had liquidity of $82.5 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $21.5 million and $61.0 million available under its senior secured revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility"). The REIT also has the flexibility to obtain additional liquidity through adding properties to the borrowing base of the Credit Facility.
As of June 30, 2025, the REIT had total mortgage notes payable of $408.1 million, excluding the revolving credit facility, with a weighted average contractual interest rate of 3.5% (including interest rate swap agreements) and a weighted average term to maturity of 3.7 years. In aggregate, mortgage notes payable and the revolving credit facility totaled $659.9 million as of June 30, 2025, with a weighted average contractual interest rate of 3.8% (including interest rate swap agreements). Debt to Gross Book Value as of June 30, 2025, was 48.9%. As of June 30, 2025, 100% of the REIT's debt was fixed or economically hedged to fixed rates.
Outside of the regular principal amortization of existing loans and borrowings; a balloon payment of $27.8 million on one property mortgage comes due in the next twelve months. No formal agreements have been entered into at this time to refinance this mortgage; however, the REIT has borrowing capacity under its credit facility as well as various other alternatives to refinance this specific property.
Distributions and Units Outstanding
Cash distributions declared to holders of both Units and Class B Units totalled $6.1 million for Q2 2025, representing an AFFO Payout Ratio of 73.0%. 100% of the REIT's cash distributions were classified as return of capital. As of June 30, 2025, the total number of Units outstanding was 33,500,425. There were also 5,176,049 Class B Units, which are redeemable for Units on a one-for-one basis, and 345,389 Deferred Units outstanding as of June 30, 2025, for a total non-weighted unit count of 39,021,863. These are weighted for the purpose of calculating FFO per Unit, AFFO per Unit and NAV per Unit as defined above.
On April 30, 2024, 15,000,000 Class B Units were cancelled as a result of the Contribution Transaction, which has had a substantial impact on the REIT's weighted average unit count based on the size and timing of that reduction. As such our weighted average unit count was 43,951,971 and 48,901,137 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and should continue to decline at a proportional rate excluding any further changes to the unit counts in the future.
