TORONTO, November 05, 2025–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Choice Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (“Choice Properties” or the “Trust”) (TSX: CHP.UN) today announced its consolidated financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Third Quarter Report to Unitholders is available in the Investors section of the Trust’s website at www.choicereit.ca, and has been filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
“Choice Properties had another strong quarter, with Same-Asset NOI and FFO per unit growth reflecting robust tenant demand for our grocery-anchored retail portfolio and our well-located industrial assets,” said Rael Diamond, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continued to progress our commercial development pipeline, completing seven retail intensifications in the quarter, and we strengthened our financial position by extending our debt maturity profile. Looking ahead, we remain focused on disciplined financial management while creating long-term value for unitholders.”

(1) |
Exchangeable Units are required to be classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss under GAAP. They are recorded at their fair value based on the market trading price of the Trust Units, which results in a negative impact to the financial results when the Trust Unit price rises and a positive impact when the Trust Unit price declines. |
|
|
(2) |
Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Additional Financial Information section. |
|
|
(3) |
Long-term renewal spreads are calculated as the difference between the average rate during the renewal term and the expiring rental rate. |

Quarterly Results
Choice Properties reported net income of $242.6 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to a net loss of $663.0 million in the same prior year period. The increase of $905.6 million was primarily due to changes in certain non-cash adjustments to fair value including:
-
a $973.6 million favourable change in the adjustment to fair value of the Trust’s Exchangeable Units due to the decrease in the Trust’s unit price; partially offset by
-
a $63.5 million unfavourable change in the adjustment to fair value of investment properties; and
-
a $15.7 million favourable change in the adjustment to fair value of the investment in real estate securities of Allied, driven by the change in Allied’s unit price in the quarter.
Further contributing to the increase was higher net operating income of $17.1 million.
Year-to-Date Results
-
Choice Properties reported a net loss of $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to a net loss of $7.5 million in the same prior year period. The decrease of $0.3 million was primarily due to changes in certain non-cash adjustments to fair value including:
-
a $67.3 million unfavourable change in the adjustment to fair value of the Trust’s Exchangeable Units due to the increase in the Trust’s unit price; partially offset by
-
a $33.3 million favourable change in the adjustment to fair value of investment properties; and
-
a $41.9 million favourable change in the adjustment to fair value of the investment in real estate securities of Allied, driven by the change in Allied’s unit price in the quarter.
In addition to the fair value changes described above, the reversal of a $38.6 million transaction-related provision during the second quarter of 2024 further contributed to the decrease. The decrease was partially offset by higher net operating income of $32.5 million.

Quarterly and Year-to-Date Results
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, Same-Asset NOI, Cash Basis(2) increased by $7.0 million and $17.2 million, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods primarily due to increased revenue from higher rental rates on renewals, new leasing, and contractual rent steps mainly in the retail and industrial portfolios. In addition, the increase for the nine month period included a property tax incentive recognized in the mixed-use and residential portfolio in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by the impact of a bad debt provision reversal in the second quarter of 2024 in the industrial portfolio following the resolution of a tenant dispute.
FFO(2) increased by $14.8 million, or 7.8% per unit diluted, and $25.4 million, or 4.5% per unit diluted, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net operating income and lower general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower interest income and higher interest expense.
FFO(2) for the three month period was impacted by timing differences related to higher lease surrender revenue of $5.0 million in the current year, as well as non-recurring general and administrative expenses of $3.3 million in the prior year related to outsourcing and one-time costs. Adjusting for these items, FFO(2) increased by $6.5 million, or 3.5% per unit diluted for the three month period.
AFFO(2) decreased by $26.8 million and $29.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of maintenance capital projects commencing earlier in the current year, partially offset by the increase in FFO(2) as noted above. AFFO is impacted by the seasonality inherent in the timing of executing capital projects. For the year 2025, AFFO payout ratio is expected to be relatively consistent with prior year.
Outlook
We are focused on capital preservation, delivering stable and growing cash flows and net asset value appreciation. Our high-quality portfolio is primarily leased to necessity-based tenants and logistics providers, who are less sensitive to economic volatility and therefore provide stability to our overall portfolio. We will continue to advance our development program, with a focus on commercial developments, which provides us with the best opportunity to add high-quality real estate to our portfolio at a reasonable cost and drive net asset value appreciation over time.
We are confident that our business model, stable tenant base, strong balance sheet, and disciplined approach to financial management will continue to benefit us. Supported by the strength of our year-to-date financial and operating performance, we have raised our 2025 outlook for FFO per unit diluted. In 2025, Choice Properties is now targeting:
-
Stable occupancy across the portfolio, resulting in approximately 2%-3% year-over-year growth in Same-Asset NOI, Cash Basis;
-
Annual FFO per unit diluted in a range of $1.06 to $1.07, reflecting approximately 3%-4% year-over-year growth; and
-
Strong leverage metrics, targeting Adjusted Debt to EBITDAFV below 7.5x.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Additional Financial Information
In addition to using performance measures determined in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS” or “GAAP”), Choice Properties also measures its performance using certain non-GAAP measures, and provides these measures in this news release so that investors may do the same. Such measures and related per-unit amounts are not defined by IFRS and therefore should not be construed as alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS. Furthermore, the supplemental measures used by management may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other real estate investment trusts or enterprises. The non-GAAP measures included in this news release are defined and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure below. Choice Properties believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors in measuring the financial performance and financial condition of the Trust for the reasons outlined below.
