      MISSISSAUGA, ON, Aug. 6, 2026 /CNW/ -- Chartwell Retirement Residences ("Chartwell") (TSX: CSH.UN) announced today its results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

      • Property revenue increased $52.3 million or 19.5%.
      • Net loss decreased $4.4 million.
      • Funds from operations ("FFO")(1) increased $23.0 million or 34.0%, and $0.04 per unit or 16.7%.
      • Same property adjusted net operating income ("NOI")(1) increased 11.9%.
      • Same property adjusted operating margin increased 110 basis points ("bps") to 42.5%.
      • Weighted average same property occupancy increased 320 bps to 94.3%.

      "Our teams delivered another strong quarter in Q2 2026, with FFO per unit increasing 17% over Q2 2025, marking our twelfth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth in FFO per unit. During the quarter, we continued to execute our portfolio optimization strategy through acquisitions, developments and the disposition of non-core assets, further strengthening our presence in key growth markets with newer, more efficient communities.

      "The recent announcement of four development projects with our trusted partners representing 828 suites, reflects our commitment to leading the next phase of retirement residence development in Canada. Together, these investments will expand the supply of high-quality, purpose-built communities and increase choice for Canadian seniors as demand for retirement living continues to grow," said Vlad Volodarski, Chartwell's Chief Executive Officer.

      "These results reflect the commitment of our people across our residences and support offices to delivering exceptional experiences for our residents. I thank them for their hard work, passion and continued focus on the residents and families we have the privilege of serving."

      For Q2 2026, property revenue increased $52.3 million or 19.5%, and direct property operating expense increased $27.5 million or 17.3%.

      For Q2 2026, net loss was $1.3 million compared to net loss of $5.7 million in Q2 2025 primarily due to:

      • higher property revenue, and
      • higher reversal of impairment expense,

      partially offset by:

      • higher direct property operating expense,
      • higher depreciation of property, plant and equipment ("PP&E"),
      • higher deferred tax expense,
      • higher finance costs, and
      • higher general, administrative and Trust ("G&A") expenses.

      For Q2 2026, FFO was $90.5 million or $0.28 per unit, compared to $67.6 million or $0.24 per unit for Q2 2025. FFO does not include $2.8 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 $27.6 million,

      partially offset by:

      • higher finance costs of $4.0 million, and
      • higher G&A expenses of $1.7 million.

      For 2026 YTD, property revenue increased $111.7 million or 21.8%, and direct property operating expense increased $56.7 million or 18.3%.

      For 2026 YTD, net income was $6.7 million compared to $27.5 million in 2025 YTD 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 PP&E,
      • higher deferred tax expense, and
      • higher finance costs,

      partially offset by:

      • higher property revenue,
      • no current income tax expense in 2026 YTD as compared to income tax expense in 2025 YTD,
      • lower negative changes in fair value of financial instruments,
      • lower transaction costs related to dispositions, and
      • higher reversal of impairment expense.

      For 2026 YTD, FFO was $176.1 million or $0.54 per unit, compared to $123.7 million or $0.44 per unit for 2025 YTD. FFO does not include $6.0 million or $0.02 per unit of income guarantees related to recently acquired properties. The change in FFO was primarily due to:

      • higher adjusted NOI of $55.3 million,

      partially offset by:

      • higher finance costs of $4.5 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 June 30, 2026 (the "Q2 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 optimization strategy of enhancing our asset base to generate growing NOI, acquiring newer properties in core markets, selling non-core properties, repositioning underperforming properties and pursuing new developments.  Recent activities include:

      • On June 2, 2026, we completed the acquisition of a 30% ownership interest in the Seasons Retirement Communities portfolio (the "Portfolio") through a joint arrangement with Fengate Asset Management ("Fengate"). The portfolio includes 23 seniors housing communities comprising 2,943 suites in Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta. Chartwell will manage the operations of these residences. The purchase price for our interest was $382.5 million and was partially satisfied by the proportionate assumption of approximately $208.8 million of mortgages with a weighted average interest rate of 4.46% and a weighted average term to maturity of 5.0 years, with the remainder paid in cash. Under our agreement with Fengate, both parties have contractual rights that are expected to result in our acquiring an additional 20% ownership interest in the Portfolio upon the achievement of specified milestones.
      • On June 3, 2026, we completed the acquisition of Palermo Village Retirement Residence, comprising 116 suites in Oakville, Ontario for $43.0 million which was settled in cash.
      • On July 2, 2026, we completed the sale of nine non-core properties in Ontario for $117.9 million. Net proceeds were $82.3 million, after $2.0 million of transaction costs and repayment of $33.6 million of mortgages with a weighted average interest rate of 3.30% and weighted average term to maturity of 4.3 years.
      • On July 16, 2026, we completed the acquisition of a 50% ownership interest in Chartwell Le Montcalm, a 283-suite retirement residence in Candiac, Quebec, for a purchase price of $43.3 million before closing costs and working capital adjustments. The purchase price included the proportionate assumption of the $22.3 million mortgage bearing interest at 6.0% maturing on October 1, 2026, with the balance settled in cash. 
      • On July 24, 2026, we announced four new development projects in Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec representing 828 suites offering a mix of seniors apartments, independent living and memory living. The projects are in partnership with experienced developers and through forward purchase agreements enhance Chartwell's future acquisition pipeline (refer to our press release dated July 24, 2026).
      • On August 4, 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a 100% ownership interest in a retirement residence located in the Greater Toronto Area, for a purchase price of $136.0 million. This transaction is expected to close in Q3 2026.
      • On August 4, 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell one non-core property in Ontario for $41.8 million. This transaction is subject to customary adjustments in accordance with the terms of the purchase and sale agreement and is expected to close in Q3 2026.
      • On August 4, 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell one property in Ontario for $91.0 million. This transaction is subject to customary adjustments in accordance with the terms of the purchase and sale agreement and is expected to close in Q3 2026. This property has an in-place CMHC-insured mortgage with an outstanding balance of $21.3 million bearing interest at 3.13% maturing in 2028.
      Liquidity and Financing 

      As at August 6, 2026, liquidity amounted to $614.2 million, which included $219.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $395.0 million of available borrowing capacity on our Credit Facility.

      As of the date of this release, for the remainder of 2026, we have $227.1 million of mortgage debt maturing with a weighted average interest rate of 2.8% and senior unsecured debentures of $250.0 million with an interest rate of 6.0%. At August 6, 2026, 10-year CMHC-insured mortgage rates are estimated at approximately 4.17% and five-year unsecured debenture rate to be approximately 4.38%.

      On June 30, 2026, we amended our credit facilities agreement, combining our secured and unsecured credit facilities into a single $400.0 million credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). Under the amended agreement, the Credit Facility has separate secured and unsecured tranches. The amendment allows Chartwell, subject to availability of sufficient security, to maximize borrowing capacity of the credit facility at secured pricing. At the current BBB rating by DBRS, last confirmed by DBRS on May 7, 2026, amounts borrowed under the secured tranche bear interest at the banks' prime rate ("Prime") plus 30 bps or at the the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA") plus 130 bps plus credit spread adjustment, and amounts borrowed under the unsecured tranche bear interest at Prime plus 45 bps or CORRA plus 145 bps plus credit spread adjustment. The cost of our Credit Facility is based on our credit rating. The amendment also extended the maturity of the Credit Facility from May 29, 2029 to May 29, 2031.

      On November 6, 2025, we filed a new prospectus supplement to renew our at-the-market equity distribution program (the "2025 ATM Program") to allow us to issue up to $500.0 million of Trust Units from treasury to the public from time to time. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we issued an aggregate 6,755,772 Trust Units under the 2025 ATM Program at an average price of $21.08 per Trust Unit for total gross proceeds of $142.4 million. Commission and other costs amounted to $2.1 million. The 2025 ATM Program was terminated on May 7, 2026, with approximately $382.4 million of cumulative Trust Units issued and sold under the program.

      On May 7, 2026, we filed a new final base shelf prospectus and a new prospectus supplement for the ATM Program (the "2026 ATM Program") to allow us to issue up to an additional $500.0 million of Trust Units. The 2026 ATM Program is expected to remain in place until June 7, 2029, unless terminated prior to such date by Chartwell or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement which sets out the terms of the sale of Trust Units under the 2026 ATM Program. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we issued an aggregate 3,343,539 Trust Units under the 2026 ATM Program at an average price of $21.74 per Trust Unit for total gross proceeds of $72.7 million. Commission and other costs amounted to $1.3 million.

      Forward-Looking Information

      This press release contains forward-looking information that reflects the current expectations, estimates and projections of management about the future results, performance, achievements, prospects or opportunities for Chartwell and the seniors housing industry. Forward-looking statements are based upon a number of assumptions and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and that could cause actual results to differ materially from those that are disclosed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking information in this document include, but are not limited to, statements regarding acquisitions and dispositions, including closing and financing details; development activities; debt financings; portfolio optimization strategies; joint ventures; expectations with respect to taxes that are expected to be payable in the current and future years; statements regarding occupancy and rate forecasts; and the 2026 ATM Program, including the expected benefits thereof and intended use of net proceeds. Forward-looking information can be generally identified by the use of words such as "anticipate," "continue," "estimate," "expect," "expected," "intend," "may," "will," "project," "plan," "should," "believe," and similar expressions. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those expected or estimated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. These assumptions, risks and uncertainties are more fully described in the "Risks and Uncertainties and Forward-Looking Information" section in Chartwell's Q2 2026 MD&A, and in materials filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada from time to time, including but not limited to our most recent Annual Information Form (the "AIF").

      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 Q2 2026 MD&A available on Chartwell's website and on SEDAR+.
