      TORONTO, Nov. 9, 2026 /CNW/ -- CT Real Estate Investment Trust ("CT REIT" or the "REIT") (TSX: CRT.UN) today reported its consolidated financial results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2026.

      "Our strong third quarter performance reinforces the value proposition that CT REIT offers to its unitholders," said Kevin Salsberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of CT REIT. "Despite a volatile environment for the sector, we continue to deliver growth, while managing the business prudently and surfacing additional opportunities to create value such as our newly announced acquisition in Victoria and redevelopment project in Kelowna."

      New Investment Activity

      During the third quarter, CT REIT completed a $14 million vend-in of a Canadian Tire store in Victoria, British Columbia from Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited and announced an additional new investment project with an estimated cost to complete of $22 million. The investments are, in aggregate, expected to earn a going-in yield of 8.45% and represent approximately 122,300 square feet of incremental gross leasable area ("GLA").

      Financial Highlights

      Net Income – Net income was $110.3 million for the quarter, a decrease of $6.8 million, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to decreases in the fair value adjustment on investment properties, higher property expense and interest expense, partially offset by higher revenues from the Property portfolio, and lower general and administrative expense.

      Net Operating Income (NOI)1 – Same store NOI was $120.3 million and same property NOI was $121.9 million for the quarter, which were $2.8 million or 2.4%, and $4.4 million or 3.8%, respectively, higher when compared to the prior year. Same store NOI increased primarily due to contractual rent escalations and higher property recoveries. The increase in same property NOI was primarily due to the increase in same store NOI noted above, as well as from the intensifications completed in 2025 and 2026.

      In the third quarter, NOI was $130.1 million, which was $10.2 million or 8.5% higher compared to the same period in the prior year. This was primarily due to the increase in same property NOI, coupled with an increase in NOI due to properties that were acquired and developed in 2025 and 2026 as well as lease surrender revenue received in the third quarter.

      Funds from Operations (FFO)1 – FFO for the quarter was $88.5 million, which was $8.0 million or 9.9% higher than the same period in 2025, primarily due to the acquisitions, intensifications and developments completed during 2025 and 2026, lease surrender revenue, higher property recoveries and lease renewal related base rent increases, partially offset by higher property expense, general and administrative expense, and interest costs. FFO per unit - diluted (non-GAAP) for the quarter was $0.369, which was $0.031 or 9.2% higher, compared to the same period in 2025, due to the growth of FFO exceeding the growth in weighted average units outstanding - diluted (non-GAAP).

      Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)1 – AFFO for the quarter was $80.6 million, which was $6.0 million or 8.1% higher than the same period in 2025, primarily due to the acquisitions, intensifications and developments completed during 2025 and 2026, contractual rent escalations, lease surrender revenue, higher property recoveries, and lease renewal related base rent increases, partially offset by higher property expenses, interest costs, general and administrative expense and maintenance capital expenditures. AFFO per unit - diluted (non-GAAP) for the quarter was $0.337, which was $0.024 or 7.7% higher, compared to the same period in 2025, due to the growth of AFFO exceeding the growth in weighted average units outstanding - diluted (non-GAAP).

      Distributions – Distributions per Unit paid in the quarter amounted to $0.245, which was 3.5% higher than the same period in 2025 due to the increase in the rate of distributions that became effective with the monthly distributions paid in July 2026.

      Operating Results

      Leasing – CTC is CT REIT's most significant tenant. As at September 30, 2026, CTC represented 92.0% of total GLA and 90.5% of annualized base minimum rent.

      Occupancy – As at September 30, 2026, CT REIT's portfolio occupancy rate, on a committed basis, was 99.5%.

      Specified Financial Measures

      In addition to disclosing results in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") Accounting Standards, CT REIT also provides supplementary non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") measures and ratios. References to GAAP mean IFRS Accounting Standards. CT REIT believes these non-GAAP financial measures and ratios, read together with our GAAP results, provide useful information to both management and investors in measuring the financial performance of CT REIT and its ability to meet its principal objective of creating unitholder value over the long term by generating reliable, durable and growing monthly cash distributions on a tax-efficient basis.

      Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios do not have a standardized meaning under GAAP and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures and ratios presented by other companies and should not be viewed in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP results.

      See below for further information on non-GAAP financial measures and ratios used by management in this document and, where applicable, for reconciliations to the nearest GAAP measures.

      Net Operating Income (NOI)

      NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as property revenue less property expense, adjusted for straight-line rent. The most directly comparable primary financial statement measure is property revenue. Management believes that NOI is a useful key indicator of performance as it represents a measure of property operations over which management has control. NOI is also a key input in determining the fair value of the Property portfolio.

      The following table reconciles GAAP property revenue to NOI:

      Funds From Operations (FFO)

      FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance used by the real estate industry, particularly by those publicly traded entities that own and operate income-producing properties. The most directly comparable primary financial statement measure is net income and comprehensive income. The use of FFO, together with the required IFRS Accounting Standards presentations, has been included for the purpose of improving the understanding of the operating results of CT REIT.

      Management believes that FFO is a useful measure of operating performance that, when compared period-over-period, reflects the impact on operations of trends in occupancy levels, rental rates, operating costs and property taxes, acquisition activities and interest costs, and provides a perspective of the financial performance that is not immediately apparent from net income determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

      FFO adds back to net income items that do not arise from operating activities, such as fair value adjustments. FFO, however, still includes non-cash revenues related to accounting for straight-line rent and makes no deduction for the recurring capital expenditures necessary to sustain the existing earnings stream.

      Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO)

      AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure of recurring economic earnings used in the real estate industry to assess an entity's distribution capacity. The most directly comparable primary financial statement measures are net income and comprehensive income.

      CT REIT calculates AFFO by adjusting FFO for non-cash income and expense items such as amortization of straight-line rents. AFFO is also adjusted for maintaining the productive capacity required for sustaining property infrastructure and revenue from real estate properties and direct leasing costs. As property capital expenditures do not occur evenly during the fiscal year or from year to year, the maintenance capital expenditures in the AFFO calculation, which is used as an input in assessing the REIT's distribution payout ratio, is intended to reflect an annual spending level. The maintenance capital expenditures guidance is primarily based on planned expenditures informed by building condition reports.

      Management believes that AFFO is a useful measure of operating performance similar to FFO, as described above, adjusted for the impact of non-cash income and expense items.

      Change to Capital Expenditure Approach

      Starting in 2026, the REIT elected to change the methodology used to calculate the maintenance capital expenditures deduction in AFFO by moving to a normalized maintenance capital expenditures approach set out below. Previously the REIT used a capital expenditure reserve based on a rate per square foot. Management believes the new approach simplifies the calculation of the maintenance capital expenditures deduction in AFFO and provides more objective information since the total fiscal year deduction represents the actual capital expenditures incurred in the year. Since the REIT's initial public offering in 2013, the REIT has established a regular recurring run rate of sustaining and maintaining capital reinvestment for its existing space. Management believes the move to a normalized maintenance capital expenditures approach is a more meaningful and useful measure to understanding the capital expenditures required to maintain our properties' infrastructure. Normalized maintenance capital expenditures relate to sustaining and maintaining existing space and do not include expenditures related to development; nor do they relate to capital expenditures that are revenue enhancing with the addition of new gross leasable area. For further information to our quarters, see section 11.0 of the MD&A.

      FFO and AFFO Unit Ratios

      FFO per unit - basic, FFO per unit - diluted (non-GAAP), AFFO per unit - basic and AFFO per unit - diluted (non-GAAP) are non-GAAP ratios and reflect FFO and AFFO on a weighted average per unit basis. Management believes these non-GAAP ratios are useful measures to investors since the measures indicate the impact of FFO and AFFO, respectively, in relation to an individual per unit investment in the REIT. When calculating diluted per unit amounts, diluted units include restricted and deferred units issued under various plans and exclude the effects of settling the Class C LP Units with Class B LP Units.

      Management believes that FFO per unit ratios are useful measures of operating performance that, when compared period-over-period, reflect the impact on operations of trends in occupancy levels, rental rates, operating costs and property taxes, acquisition activities and interest costs, and provides a perspective of the financial performance that is not immediately apparent from net income per unit determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Management believes that AFFO per unit ratios are useful measures of operating performance similar to FFO, as described above, adjusted for the impact of non-cash income and expense items.  The component of the FFO per unit ratios, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is FFO, and the component of AFFO per unit ratios, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is AFFO.

      Management calculates the weighted average units outstanding - diluted (non-GAAP) by excluding the full conversion of the Class C LP Units to Class B LP Units, which is not considered a likely scenario. As such, the REIT's fully diluted per unit FFO and AFFO amounts are calculated, excluding the effects of settling the Class C LP Units with Class B LP Units, which management considers a more meaningful measure.

      AFFO Payout Ratio

      The AFFO payout ratio is a non-GAAP ratio which measures the sustainability of the REIT's distribution payout. Management believes this is a useful measure to investors since this metric provides transparency on performance. Management considers the AFFO payout ratio to be the best measure of the REIT's distribution capacity. The component of the AFFO payout ratio, which is a non-GAAP ratio, is AFFO, and the composition of the AFFO payout ratio is as follows:

      Same Store NOI

      Same store NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure which reports the period-over-period performance of the same asset base having consistent GLA in both periods. CT REIT management believes same store NOI is a useful measure to gauge the change in asset productivity and asset value. The most directly comparable primary financial statement measure is property revenue.

      Same Property NOI

      Same property NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that is consistent with the definition of same store NOI above, except that same property includes the NOI impact of intensifications. Management believes same property NOI is a useful measure to gauge the change in asset productivity and asset value, as well as measure the additional return earned by incremental capital investments in existing assets. The most directly comparable primary financial statement measure is property revenue.
