TORONTO, Feb. 12, 2026 /CNW/ - H&R Real Estate Investment Trust ("H&R" or "the REIT") (TSX: HR.UN) is pleased to announce its financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025.
Tom Hofstedter, Executive Chair and Chief Executive Officer said "We continue to successfully execute our strategic plan to reposition H&R to be a more simplified growth and income-oriented REIT focused on residential and industrial properties. From the announcement of this plan to December 31, 2025, H&R completed the spin-off of the REIT's 27 enclosed shopping centres and sold ownership interests in 69 properties totaling approximately $5.4 billion. In addition, properties sold and under contract to be sold in 2026 total approximately $1.6 billion. As a result of these sales and properties under contract to be sold, H&R's residential and industrial real estate assets combined will grow from 34% of the total portfolio to 84% and geographically, our real estate assets in the United States will grow from 45% of the total portfolio to 68%."

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.
Transaction Highlights
Property Dispositions
During the year ended December 31, 2025, H&R sold its ownership interests in eight Canadian retail properties, two U.S. retail properties, one Canadian office property and one commercial unit adjacent to a Canadian office property totalling 601,090 square feet for $121.0 million, all at H&R's ownership interest.
In November 2025, H&R announced it had entered into binding agreements with multiple buyers to sell certain retail and office properties in Canada and the United States for approximately $1.5 billion.
The following assets were sold for approximately $1.1 billion in January 2026. Net proceeds of approximately $727.3 million have been used to repay corporate debt.

Leasing Update
In June 2025, 6900 Maritz Drive in Mississauga, ON, a newly constructed 122,320 square foot industrial building reached substantial completion, at which point it was transferred from properties under development to investment properties. In September 2025, H&R entered into a binding letter of intent with a tenant to lease the full building at market rents commencing January 2026. The tenant has a 4-month rent free period commencing at the start of the lease term.
In Q3 2025, H&R completed lease renewals at two single tenanted Canadian office properties located in Markham, ON and Sydney, NS, totalling 143,641 square feet, with annual contractual rent increasing by an average of $6.15 per square foot commencing in Q4 2025.
In Q4 2025, H&R leased its remaining two industrial properties under development, 560 & 600 Slate Drive in Mississauga, ON. Both properties were leased at market rents for approximately 11 years to a single tenant. The leases will commence at 560 Slate Drive in March 2026 and in October 2026 for 600 Slate Drive, with a 5-month rent free period at both properties commencing at the start of the respective lease term. These properties are expected to be substantially completed and transferred from properties under development to investment properties in Q1 2026.
The Royal Bank of Canada's 188,526 square foot lease at 330 Front Street West, in Toronto, ON matured on December 31, 2025. H&R is in negotiations with several prospective tenants for part of this space.

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.
