For Q1 2026, property revenue increased $59.4 million or 24.4%, and direct property operating expense increased $29.2 million or 19.4%.

For Q1 2026, net income was $8.0 million compared to $33.2 million in Q1 2025 that included the gain on sale of $60.3 million due to the completed Welltower Transaction. The remaining differences are primarily due to:

• higher direct property operating expense,
• higher depreciation of property, plant and equipment ("PP&E"),
• lower lease revenue from joint ventures, and
• lower management and other fees,

partially offset by:

• higher property revenue,
• lower current income taxes,
• lower negative changes in fair value of financial instruments,
• lower transaction costs related to dispositions, and
• lower general, administrative and Trust ("G&A") expenses.

For Q1 2026, FFO was $85.6 million or $0.27 per unit, compared to $56.2 million or $0.20 per unit for Q1 2025. FFO does not include $3.3 million or 0.01 per unit of income guarantees related to recently acquired properties. The change in FFO was primarily due to:

• higher adjusted NOI of $27.8 million, and
• lower G&A expenses of $2.4 million,

partially offset by:

• lower management fees of $1.0 million.

2026 Outlook and Recent Developments

An updated discussion of our business outlook can be found in the "2026 Outlook" section of our Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (the "Q1 2026 MD&A"). 

Operations

Figure 1 provides an update in respect of our same property occupancy.

We experienced a seasonal occupancy dip during the 2026 winter that was more in-line with historical periods given severe weather conditions and a more pronounced flu season. We expect to see continued strong leasing activity given the robust industry supply and demand fundamentals and expect to achieve our full year average occupancy target of 95%.

Portfolio Optimization Activities

We continue to execute on our portfolio strategy of enhancing our asset base to generate increased NOI, acquiring new strategic properties in core markets, selling non-core properties, and repositioning underperforming properties.  We are also pursuing new developments that support future growth of our asset base in line with our strategy.  Recent activities include:

• On March 2, 2026, we acquired the remaining 15% ownership interest in Chartwell L'Unique, a 421-suite retirement residence located in the Saint-Eustache suburb of Montreal, Quebec from Batimo for $18.8 million before working capital adjustments and closing costs. The purchase price was partially settled through the proportionate assumption of the $6.5 million in place mortgage, with the balance settled in cash. We now have a 100% ownership interest in this residence.
• On March 24, 2026, we completed the sale of one non-core property in Ottawa, Ontario for $49.0 million.
• On April 2, 2026, we completed the acquisition of six seniors housing communities comprising 1,024 suites located in London, Waterloo, and Mississauga, for a total purchase price of $416.2 million. The purchase price at closing was partially settled through the assumption of $229.2 million of mortgages, the majority of which are CMHC-insured, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.50% and weighted average remaining term of 18.9 years. The remainder of the purchase price, subject to normal working capital and other closing adjustments was settled in cash. In addition, we entered into a forward purchase agreement to acquire 29 townhomes currently under development in London, Ontario for a purchase price of $15.8 million subject to normal capital and other closing adjustments. This acquisition is expected to close upon construction completion which is anticipated in Q1 2027.
• On April 15, 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% ownership interest in Palermo Village Retirement Residence (116 suites) in Oakville, Ontario for $43.0 million.  This transaction is expected to close in Q2 2026.
• On April 25, 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell nine non-core properties in Ontario for $117.9 million.  Net proceeds are expected to be $82.1 million, after transaction costs and repayment of $33.7 million of mortgages with a weighted average interest rate of 3.38% and weighted average term to maturity of 4.4 years. The transaction is expected to close in Q2 2026. Refer to the "Disposition Property List" section on page 7 of this press release for a complete list of the residences.
• On May 1, 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell Chartwell Ballycliffe LTC in Ajax, Ontario for $68.3 million. The transaction is subject to customary adjustments in accordance with the terms of the purchase and sale agreement and, subject to regulatory and other required approvals, is expected to close in Q4 2026.

Strategic Partnership and Acquisition of Interests in 23 Retirement Residences

On May 7, 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a 30% ownership interest in the Seasons Retirement Communities portfolio (the "Portfolio") through a joint venture with Fengate Asset Management ("Fengate"), the existing owner and a leading alternative investment manager and real estate developer acting on behalf of its investor, the LiUNA Pension Fund of Central and Eastern Canada. Fengate will retain a 70% ownership interest in the joint venture (the "Transaction").  The Transaction represents a significant milestone in Chartwell's strategy to grow its platform with high-quality assets through partnerships with institutional capital. Closing is expected by the end of Q2 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including third-party consents and regulatory approvals.

The Portfolio is comprised of 23 seniors housing communities totalling 2,943 suites in Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta.  These communities are designed to serve a broad range of seniors and strategically located in markets with strong underlying fundamentals. Current occupancy stands at approximately 86%. Refer to the "Acquisition Property List" section on page 7 of this press release for a complete list of the residences.

The purchase price for Chartwell's 30% interest is $382.5 million ($1.275 billion at 100% ownership) and is expected to be funded through the assumption of approximately $195.8 million of in-place mortgages with a weighted average interest rate of 4.47% and a weighted average term to maturity of 3.7 years, with the balance to be paid in cash. RBC Capital Markets acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Chartwell on the Transaction.

Chartwell will serve as operations manager of the Portfolio and Fengate will provide asset management services. Chartwell's agreement with Fengate provides for the opportunity to acquire a further 20% of the portfolio upon certain milestones being met.

As part of the ongoing strategic partnership, Chartwell will have the option to participate in Fengate's future development of retirement residences in Ontario. Should Chartwell elect to participate in any such development, Chartwell will provide operations management services, and the parties will have certain put and call rights once the residence is stabilized.

"This Transaction reflects the continued execution of our disciplined investment strategy focused on acquiring high-quality residences in core markets with strong demographic profiles and long-term demand fundamentals," said Jonathan Boulakia, Chief Investment Officer of Chartwell. "The transaction also provides us with meaningful upside while managing capital deployment prudently with a 30% investment. The Portfolio's embedded lease-up and operational optimization opportunities, combined with Chartwell's proven operating platform and expertise, position us to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns for our unitholders. In addition, the partnership with Fengate, a leading real estate investment and development firm, represents an opportunity to align with a new development partner in Ontario for future growth and brings together two experienced organizations with a shared commitment to the long-term stewardship of retirement communities."

Liquidity and Financing 

As at May 7, 2026, liquidity amounted to $581.6 million, which included $186.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and $394.9 million of available borrowing capacity on our Credit Facilities.

As of the date of this release, for the remainder of 2026, we have $209.6 million of mortgage debt maturing with a weighted average interest rate of 2.99%. At May 7, 2026, 10-year CMHC-insured mortgage rates are estimated at approximately 4.13% and five-year unsecured debenture rate to be approximately 4.44%.

Taxation

In 2026, we expect to incur SIFT tax payable, primarily driven by taxable income arising from property dispositions completed and announced during the year. This includes the sale of nine non-core properties in Ontario and the planned disposition of the Ballycliffe LTC (see the "Portfolio Optimization Activities" section of this release).

The expected tax reflects the impact of recapture of capital cost allowance and capital gains associated with these transactions. We continue to assess available tax planning opportunities to manage and mitigate cash taxes where appropriate.

Board Renewal Update and 2026 Annual General Meeting

As part of its ongoing commitment to strong governance, disciplined Board renewal, and long-term succession planning, Chartwell is providing an update on its Board renewal process and on its upcoming Annual General Meeting (the "2026 AGM").

The 2026 AGM will be held on June 18, 2026, and unitholders of record as of the applicable record date will be entitled to vote at the meeting. Further details regarding the 2026 AGM, including voting procedures and meeting logistics, is set out in Chartwell's Management Information Circular dated April 24, 2026 (the "Circular").

At the 2026 AGM, unitholders will be asked to elect directors to serve on Chartwell's Board until the next annual meeting. As disclosed in the Circular, the proposed slate of directors includes all current directors, as well as Douglas MacLatchy, who is standing for election as a new independent director. Rael Diamond, who was appointed to the Board effective January 1, 2026, is also standing for election for the first time.

Mr. MacLatchy has more than thirty years of leadership experience across senior living, real estate, and financial services organizations. He previously served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Amica Senior Lifestyles, and as Vice Chair of Amica's Board of Directors. Mr. MacLatchy was also the founder and Chief Executive Officer of BayBridge Senior Living prior to its amalgamation with Amica. Earlier in his career, he served as Chief Executive Officer of Sunrise Senior Living REIT and held senior leadership and executive roles in a range of real estate and financial services organizations.

Huw Thomas, Chair of the Board of Chartwell, commented:

"Doug brings an exceptional combination of leadership, operational, financial, investment, and governance experience to Chartwell's Board. His deep understanding of senior living operations, capital stewardship, and resident‑centric cultures makes him a highly valuable addition. Doug's breadth of experience strengthens our Board as we continue to thoughtfully execute our renewal process and support Chartwell's long-term strategy, for the benefit of our residents, employees and investors."

At-the-Market Program

On May 7, 2026, we filed a new final base shelf prospectus (the "Base Shelf Prospectus") with the securities regulatory authorities in each province of Canada. The Base Shelf Prospectus is valid for a 37-month period, during which time we may offer and issue, from time to time, trust units ("Trust Units"), subscription receipts and debt securities. Our previous base shelf prospectus is scheduled to expire on May 30, 2026.

On May 7, 2026, we will file a new prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") to the Base Shelf Prospectus to renew our at-the-market equity distribution program (the "2026 ATM Program") that will allow Chartwell to issue up to $500.0 million of Trust Units. Since establishing our prior at-the-market equity distribution program (the "Prior ATM Program") on November 6, 2025, we have issued approximately $382 million of Trust Units which includes $142.4 million issued during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The 2026 ATM Program allows Chartwell to issue Trust Units from treasury to the public from time to time during the term of the ATM Program, at its discretion and will continue to provide Chartwell with additional financing flexibility, should it be required in the future. We intend to use the net proceeds from the 2026 ATM Program, if any, for future property acquisitions, development and redevelopment opportunities, repayment of indebtedness and for general trust purposes.

In connection with the 2026 ATM Program, Chartwell has entered into an equity distribution agreement dated May 7, 2026 (the "Distribution Agreement") with TD Securities Inc., Scotia Capital Inc., and RBC Capital Markets (collectively, the "Agents"). Upon entry into the Distribution Agreement, the equity distribution agreement dated November 6, 2025, for the Prior ATM Program was terminated. Any Trust Units sold under the 2026 ATM Program will be distributed through the Toronto Stock Exchange or any other permitted marketplace at the market prices prevailing at the time of sale. The volume and timing of distributions under the 2026 ATM Program, if any, will be determined at Chartwell's sole discretion. There is no certainty that any Trust Units will be offered or sold under the 2026 ATM Program. The ATM Program will be effective until June 7, 2029, unless terminated prior to such date by Chartwell or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Distribution Agreement.

Given that Trust Units sold in the 2026 ATM Program, if any, will be distributed at the market prices prevailing at the time of sale, prices may vary among purchasers during the period of the distribution. Distributions of Trust Units through the 2026 ATM Program, if any, will be made pursuant to the terms of the Distribution Agreement.

The Base Shelf Prospectus is and the Prospectus Supplement and the Distribution Agreement will be available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com under Chartwell's profile. Alternatively, the Agents will send copies of the Prospectus Supplement, the Distribution Agreement and the Base Shelf Prospectus, as applicable, to investors upon request to TD Securities Inc. at 1625 Tech Avenue, Mississauga, Ontario L4W 5P5, attention: Symcor, NPM, by telephone at [phone], or by email at [email protected]., Scotia Capital Inc. at 40 Temperance Street, 6th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5H 0B4, by telephone at [phone] or by email at [email protected] and RBC Dominion Securities Inc. at Distribution Centre, RBC Wellington Square, 8th Floor, 180 Wellington Street West, Toronto, Ontario M5J 0C2, by telephone at 416-842-5349 or by email at [email protected].

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Chartwell's condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Management uses certain financial measures to assess Chartwell's operating and financial performance, which are measures not defined in generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") under IFRS. The following measures: FFO, FFO per unit, same property adjusted NOI, adjusted NOI, adjusted operating margin, REVPOS, DOEPOS, NOIPOS, liquidity, interest coverage ratio and net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio as well as other measures discussed elsewhere in this release, do not have a standardized definition prescribed by IFRS. They are presented because management believes these non-GAAP measures are relevant and meaningful measures of Chartwell's performance and as computed may differ from similar computations as reported by other issuers and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by such issuers. For a full definition of these measures, please refer to the Q1 2026 MD&A available on Chartwell's website and on SEDAR+.

The following table reconciles property revenue and direct property operating expense from our financial statements to adjusted property revenue and adjusted direct property operating expense, and NOI to Adjusted NOI, and identifies contributions from our same property portfolio, our growth portfolio, and our repositioning portfolio:
