(1) | The REIT's proportionate share is a non-GAAP measure defined in the "Non-GAAP Measures" section of this news release. |
During the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, the fair value adjustments on real estate assets were primarily due to one office property and one residential property, both in Long Island City, NY. These adjustments were driven by feedback from the Strategic Review process and uncertainty surrounding the change in municipal political policies and the potential impact on New York City, its residents and investors.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, additional fair value adjustments on real estate assets were primarily due to the following: (i) properties classified as held for sale, to be in line with the expected selling prices of these properties; (ii) a reduction in valuations of certain industrial properties due to lower market rent assumptions for renewals and vacant properties; and (iii) a reduction in valuations of the REIT's U.S. land parcels, primarily due to softening economic conditions for development projects as well as persistently high interest rates for construction financing, resulting in higher construction costs.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
The audited consolidated financial statements of the REIT and related notes for the three months and year ended December 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 year ended December 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.
