BTB Announces Resilient Q2 Operational Results with Growth in the Rental Renewal Spread, Reaching 4.8%

MONTRÉAL, Aug. 4, 2025 /CNW/ - BTB Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX: BTB.UN) ("BTB", the "REIT" or the "Trust") announced today its financial results for the second quarter of 2025 ended June 30, 2025 (the "Second Quarter").

q2-2025 (CNW Group/BTB Real Estate Investment Trust)

"BTB's performance in the second quarter of 2025 highlights our leasing efforts, improved cash flow, and strengthened financial metrics. The quality of our assets underpins our steady progress" says Michel Léonard, President and CEO of BTB. "Our rental revenue totaled $30.5M for the quarter, a decrease of $1.7M or 5.3% compared to the same quarter last year, primarily due to two non-cash straight-line rent adjustments totaling $1.8M. Cash net operating income (Cash NOI)¹ continues to show growth, totaling $19.5M for the quarter, an increase of 0.5% compared to the same quarter last year. For the six-month period, the Cash NOI¹ reached $39.7M, an increase of $1.7M or 4.4% compared to the same period in 2024. Our AFFO adjusted¹ was 9.5¢ per unit, up slightly from 9.4¢ a year ago, and 19.8¢ per unit for the six-month period, representing an increase of 1.5¢ from the comparable period in 2024. Leasing momentum continues as we completed 122,815 square feet of lease renewals and secured 49,809 square feet of new leases during the quarter. The occupancy rate at the end of the quarter stood at 91.2%, still reflecting the impact of the announced industrial tenant bankruptcy in 2024. When factoring in the post-quarter sale of our property located at 1170 Lebourgneuf Blvd. in Quebec City, occupancy improved to 92.0%, representing an increase of 80 basis points. The increase in the average rent renewal rate was 4.7% this quarter and 4.8% over the first six-month period of the year, mainly supported by the necessity-based retail and suburban office segments, which accounted for 58% and 38% of lease renewals respectively. We continue to show positive momentum."

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ITEMS AS AT JUNE 30, 2025

• Total number of properties: 74
• Total leasable area: 6.1 million square feet 
• Total asset value: $1.3 billion 
• Market capitalization: $321 million (unit trading price of $3.64 as at June 30, 2025)

• BTB completed lease renewals totaling 122,815 square feet and new leases totaling 49,809 square feet. The increase in the average rent renewal rate for the current quarter was 4.7%. For the six-month period, the increase in the average rent renewal rate was 4.8%. The occupancy rate stood at 91.2%, a 130 basis points decrease compared to the prior quarter and a 340 basis points decrease compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease in the occupancy rate is primarily due to the bankruptcy of a previously reported tenant. Taking into account the post-quarter sale of the office property located at 1170 Lebourgneuf Blvd., in Quebec City, the occupancy rate of the portfolio would be 92.0%, or an increase of 80 basis points.

• Rental revenue: Stood at $30.5 million for the quarter, which represents a decrease of $1.7 million or 5.3% compared to the same quarter of 2024. The decrease is driven by non-cash straight-line lease adjustments totalling $1.8 million namely : (1) following the purchase by a group of investors of Lion Electric, the trust negotiated a lease amendment for a term of two (2) years, causing a non-cash straight-line lease adjustment of the property of $1.6 million and, (2) the Trust recorded the early departure of an industrial tenant, Big Rig Trailers, in Edmonton causing a non cash straight-line lease adjustment of the property of $0.2 million, which property was rapidly entirely re-leased to XCMG Canada Ltd, with a long-term lease. For the six-month period, rental revenue totalled $64.9 million, representing an increase of $0.1 million or 0.1% compared to the same period in 2024. Excluding the above mentioned two non-cash straight-line lease adjustments, rental revenue for the quarter would have totalled $32.3 million, an increase of $0.1 million or 0.3% and for the six-month period, it would have totalled $66.7 million, representing an increase of $1.9 million or 2.9%.
• Net operating income (NOI): Totalled $17.1 million for the quarter, which represents a decrease of 9.2% compared to the same quarter of 2024. For the six-month period, the NOI totalled $37.0 million which represents a decrease of 0.7% compared to the same period in 2024. Both decreases are caused by the above-mentioned non-cash straight-line lease adjustments.
• Cash net operating income (Cash NOI) ⁽¹⁾: Totalled $19.5 million for the quarter, which represents an increase of $0.1 million or 0.5% compared to the same quarter of 2024. For the six-month period, the Cash NOI totalled $39.7 million, which represents an increase of $1.7 million or 4.4% compared to the same period in 2024. The increase is driven by (1) a partial lease cancellation payment of $1.0 million received from a tenant leasing space in the suburban office segment, which space has already been re-leased by the Trust; (2) operating improvements, higher rent renewal rates, and increases in rental spreads for in-place leases representing an increase of $0.3 million; and (3) the previously announced lease with Winners/HomeSense which began to produce income as of February 25, 2025 ($0.4 million).
• Net income and comprehensive income: Totalled $6.2 million for the quarter, which represents a decrease of 14.8% or $1.1 million. For the six-month period, net income and comprehensive income totalled $13.8 million, representing a decrease of 4.3% or $0.6 million.
• Cash Same-Property NOI ⁽¹⁾: For the quarter, the cash same-property NOI decreased by 1.5% compared to the same period in 2024. For the six-month period, the cash same-property NOI increased by 3.0%.
• FFO adjusted per unit ⁽¹⁾: Was 8.3¢ per unit for the quarter compared to 10.4¢ per unit for the same period in 2024, representing a decrease of 2.1¢ per unit. For the six-month period, the FFO adjusted was 19.4¢ per unit compared to 20.6¢ per unit for the same period in 2024, representing a decrease of 1.2¢ per unit. The decrease is driven by the previously outlined 2 non-cash straight-line lease adjustments of $1.8 million.
• AFFO adjusted per unit ⁽¹⁾: Was 9.5¢ per unit for the quarter compared to 9.4¢ per unit for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of 0.1¢ per unit or 1.1%. For the six-month period, the AFFO adjusted per unit was 19.8¢ per unit compared to 18.3¢ per unit for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of 1.5¢ per unit or 8.2%. The six-month period increase is explained by (1) the previously outlined $1.7 million increase in Cash NOI, (2) a $0.2 million decrease in administrative expenses and, (3) stability in the net financial expenses before non-monetary items.
• AFFO adjusted payout ratio ⁽¹⁾: Was 79.2% for the current quarter compared to 80.2% for the same period in 2024. For the six-month period, the AFFO adjusted payout ratio was 75.8% compared to 82.0% for the same period in 2024, a decrease of 6.2%.
• Dispositions: On June 16, 2025, the Trust disposed of a small industrial property located at 3911 Millar Avenue, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, for total proceeds of $6.1 million, excluding transaction costs and adjustments. Subsequent to the quarter, more specifically on July 11, 2025, the Trust disposed of an office property located at 1170 Lebourgneuf Blvd., in Quebec City, for total proceeds of $10.5 million, excluding transaction costs and adjustments. In order to conclude the transaction, the Trust granted to the purchaser a balance of sale of $1.0 million, maturing on March 24, 2027, at an interest rate of 5%.

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 ("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; and (iv) 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 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 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.
