TORONTO, Nov. 13, 2025 /CNW/ - H&R Real Estate Investment Trust ("H&R" or "the REIT") (TSX: HR.UN) today provided an update on its previously announced review of strategic alternatives led by a Special Committee of independent trustees (the "Special Committee") and announced its financial results for the Third Quarter of 2025.
Strategic Review Process
The Special Committee was initially formed in response to the receipt of a non-binding expression of interest from multiple parties for an acquisition of all of the assets of the REIT. Through the late winter and spring of this year, the Special Committee engaged with the interested parties. Ultimately, the prices and terms proposed were not acceptable to the Special Committee.
Following the announcement that the Special Committee was reviewing strategic alternatives in July, the Special Committee and the advisors to the REIT received additional indications of interest for certain assets of the REIT. On instruction from the Special Committee, the advisors to the REIT conducted a full sale process. At the end of this process, the Special Committee received multiple offers for specific assets, however, no en bloc offers were received for the REIT.
As a result, management of the REIT is currently in negotiations with various parties for the sale of assets of approximately $2.6 billion. The REIT expects to enter into binding agreements of sale by the end of the year. Accordingly, the Special Committee has now been dissolved and the Board will continue to oversee the entering into, and implementation, of any such transactions. At this time, there is no certainty that any of these negotiations will result in transactions.
"The Special Committee's mandate was to evaluate all potential strategic alternatives in the best interests of the REIT," said Donald E. Clow, Independent Lead Trustee and Chair of the Special Committee. "The extensive work completed has provided the Board with a clearer view of the market and the value-maximization opportunities available to H&R."

NON-GAAP MEASURES
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the REIT and related notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 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.
