Transaction Highlights

Property Dispositions

In January 2025, H&R sold its ownership interests in three Canadian retail properties and its 50% interest in four Canadian retail properties, which were classified as held for sale as at December 31, 2024, totalling 336,695 square feet for gross proceeds of $49.8 million.

In March 2025, H&R sold one automotive-tenanted retail property in Puyallup, WA, which was classified as held for sale as at December 31, 2024, totalling 10,102 square feet for approximately $10.1 million (U.S. $7.0 million).

Leasing Update

On March 7, 2025, Hudson's Bay Company ("HBC") applied for protection from their creditors under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada). HBC is only a tenant at one REIT property, being 100 Metropolitan Rd., an industrial property in Toronto, ON, where HBC currently occupies 369,051 square feet at H&R's 50% ownership interest. HBC's base rent is currently $5.25 per square foot and market rent is approximately $14 per square foot.

Development Update

Canadian Properties under Development

In January 2024, H&R received approval from the City of Mississauga to replace the existing 104,689 square foot office building at 6900 Maritz Drive in Mississauga, ON with a new 122,367 square foot industrial building. Construction commenced in 2024 and practical completion is expected in Q2 2025. The property will include sustainability elements such as EV charging stations and solar panel readiness and is targeted to achieve LEED Gold certification. As at March 31, 2025, the total development budget for this property was approximately $43.6 million with costs remaining to complete the new building of approximately $5.5 million.

Equity Accounted Investments

H&R has a 50% managing ownership interest in 560 & 600 Slate Drive, a 26.6 acre land site in Mississauga, ON, located next to Toronto Pearson International Airport and in close proximity to access points on the 410, 401 and 407 Highways. In 2024, construction commenced on two single storey industrial buildings totalling 309,727 square feet and 160,485 square feet, respectively at the 100% level. Both buildings have been designed with flexibility such that they can accommodate either single or multiple tenants. Both will include sustainability elements such as EV charging stations and solar panel readiness and are targeted to achieve LEED Gold certification. As at March 31, 2025, the total budget for 560 & 600 Slate Drive was approximately $66.3 million with costs remaining to complete of $20.7 million, all at H&R's ownership interest. The yield on cost for the overall project is expected to be approximately 6.6% with completion expected in Q3 2025. In February 2025, the partnership owning the site obtained a $32.5 million construction financing facility, at H&R's ownership interest. As at March 31, 2025, the available balance was approximately $26.5 million, at H&R's ownership interest.

In February 2024, the REIT created Lantower Residential Real Estate Development Trust (No. 1) (the "REDT") which completed an initial public offering in April 2024. The REDT raised U.S. $52.0 million of equity capital from investors to acquire an interest in and fund the development of two residential development projects (the "REDT Projects") in Florida totalling 601 residential rental units. The REIT contributed the land to Lantower Residential REDT (No.1) JV LP ("REDT JV LP"), in exchange for a 29.1% ownership interest in the REDT JV LP. The REIT is accounting for its ownership interest in the REDT Projects as an equity accounted investment. H&R is earning a development fee of 4% of the total hard and soft costs of the REDT Projects (excluding land and financing costs) and is expecting to earn a 1% asset management fee on gross proceeds raised by the REDT. H&R will also be entitled to 20% of the distribution proceeds over and above its pro-rata share of the equity after investors receive an 8% internal rate of return and 30% after investors receive a 15% internal rate of return. As at March 31, 2025, H&R's share of the total budget for the REDT Projects was approximately $87.8 million (U.S. $61.0 million) with costs remaining to complete of $57.4 million (U.S. $39.8 million), all at H&R's ownership interest. The REDT Projects are expected to be completed in mid-2026.

Debt & Liquidity Highlights

Liquidity

As at March 31, 2025, H&R had cash and cash equivalents of $69.9 million, $803.3 million available under its unused lines of credit and an unencumbered property pool of approximately $4.5 billion.

As at March 31, 2025, debt to total assets per the REIT's Financial Statements was 33.8% compared to 33.4% as at December 31, 2024. As at March 31, 2025, debt to total assets at the REIT's proportionate share (a non-GAAP ratio, refer to the "Non-GAAP Measures" section of this news release) was 44.1% compared to 43.7% as at December 31, 2024.

About H&R REIT

H&R REIT is one of Canada's largest real estate investment trusts with total assets of approximately $10.5 billion as at March 31, 2025. H&R REIT has ownership interests in a Canadian and U.S. portfolio comprised of high-quality residential, industrial, office and retail properties comprising over 25.6 million square feet. H&R's strategy is to create a simplified, growth-oriented business focused on residential and industrial properties in order to create sustainable long-term value for unitholders. H&R plans to sell its office and retail properties as market conditions permit. H&R's target is to be a leading owner, operator and developer of residential and industrial properties, creating value through redevelopment and greenfield development in prime locations within Toronto and high growth U.S. sunbelt and gateway cities.

Non‐GAAP Measures

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the REIT and related notes for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (the "REIT's Financial Statements") were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). However, H&R's management uses a number of measures, including NAV per Unit, FFO, AFFO, FFO and AFFO per basic and diluted Unit, payout ratio as a % of FFO, payout ratio as a % of AFFO, debt to total assets at the REIT's proportionate share, debt to Adjusted EBITDA at the REIT's proportionate share, Same‐Property net operating income (cash basis) and the REIT's proportionate share, which do not have meanings recognized or standardized under IFRS or GAAP. These non‐GAAP measures and non‐GAAP ratios should not be construed as alternatives to financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Further, H&R's method of calculating these supplemental non‐GAAP measures and ratios may differ from the methods of other real estate investment trusts or other issuers, and accordingly may not be comparable. H&R uses these measures to better assess H&R's underlying performance and provides these additional measures so that investors may do the same.

For information on the most directly comparable GAAP measures, composition of the measures, a description of how the REIT uses these measures and an explanation of how these measures provide useful information to investors, refer to the "Non‐GAAP Measures" section of the REIT's management's discussion and analysis as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2025  available at www.hr‐reit.com and on the REIT's profile on SEDAR at www.sedarplus.com, which is incorporated by reference into this news release.
