SmartCentres Real Estate Investment Trust Releases Third Quarter Results for 2025

Source: SmartCentres

TORONTO, ONTARIO – (November 12, 2025) SmartCentres Real Estate Investment Trust (“SmartCentres”, the “Trust” or the “REIT”) (TSX: SRU.UN) is pleased to report its financial and operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

“We are pleased to report another strong quarter of operating and financial results, highlighted by stable retail fundamentals with robust momentum in leasing demand and executed lease deals for both existing and new build space,” said Mitchell Goldhar, CEO of SmartCentres. “We renewed and extended lease maturities in 2025 at rental growth rates of 8.4%, excluding anchors. In-place and committed occupancy remained steady at an industry-leading 98.6%. We expect to continue delivering healthy rental growth for the balance of the year. Another positive metric during the quarter was same property NOI growth, despite a credit provision primarily associated with one retail tenant. Our development pipeline continues to grow with two self-storage facilities in Quebec expected to open in 2026 and two additional self-storage facilities in British Columbia expected to open in 2027. Subsequent to the quarter end, we raised $500 million via a two-tranche term debenture which will be used to repay an upcoming $350 million debenture maturity with the remainder repaying outstanding floating rate debt on our operating lines, on an accretive basis while filling gaps in our debt ladder and extending the average term to maturity of our debt.”

2025 Third Quarter Highlights

Retail Operations

  • Industry-leading in-place and committed occupancy rate of 98.6% as of September 30, 2025 and unchanged from the prior quarter.
  • Robust customer traffic and a solid tenant base continued to drive Same Properties NOI(1) growth for the three months ended September 30, 2025, which increased by 4.6%, excluding Anchors, compared to the same period in 2024.
  • Leasing momentum remained resilient, with approximately 68,000 square feet of vacant space leased during the quarter, resulting in a total of approximately 394,000 square feet leased year to date. In addition, growing demand for new-build retail continues with 24,944 square feet executed during the quarter, resulting in a total of approximately 92,000 square feet executed year to date.
  • Lease renewals continued to perform well, with near 85% of all leases maturing in 2025 extended or finalized, with strong rent growth of 8.4% (excluding Anchors) and 6.2% (including Anchors).

Development

  • The Trust has opened three new self-storage facilities in 2025 at Toronto (Gilbert Ave.), Toronto (Jane St.), and Dorval (St-Regis Blvd.) bringing the total number of operating self-storage properties in the portfolio to 14. Construction of self-storage facilities is underway at Montreal (Notre Dame St. W), and Laval E, Quebec, with opening expected in 2026. Site preparation and demolition works completed at Burnaby, British Columbia, with building construction expected to commence in Q4 2025. Site preparation work is also underway in Victoria, British Columbia. Both projects are expected to open in 2027. In addition, the Trust is in the process of obtaining municipal approval for a newly acquired self-storage site in Edmonton, Alberta.
  • Construction of Phase I of the Vaughan NW townhomes is mostly completed, with 13 units closed in Q3 2025. As at September 30, 2025, a total of 111 out of the 120 units in Phase I have closed.
  • Construction of the ArtWalk condo Tower A in the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre continues to advance as planned, with approximately 93% of the 340 units pre-sold. The underground parking structure is progressing, the slab-on-grade has been completed, and preparations are underway for the first section of the ground floor slab.
  • Construction of the Trust’s flagship 200,000 square foot Canadian Tire store on Laird Drive in Toronto continues on schedule, with possession expected in Q2 2026.

Financial

  • Net rental income and other for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $141.3 million, representing a decrease of $0.6 million or 0.5% compared to the same period in 2024. This net decrease was primarily driven by lower residential sales due to fewer townhomes closings offset by an increase in base rent from retail properties compared to the same period in 2024.
  • FFO per Unit(1) for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $0.59 compared to $0.71 for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to changes in the fair value adjustment on the TRS resulting from fluctuations in the Trust’s Unit price. FFO with adjustments per Unit(1) for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $0.56 compared to $0.53 for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in NOI primarily due to lease-up activities for retail properties.
  • Net income and comprehensive income(1) for the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased by $38.6 million compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was mainly attributable to a $36.6 million increase in the fair value adjustment on financial instruments for the period, primarily due to mark-to-market adjustments for the interest rate swaps and the fair value change in units classified as liabilities due to an increase in the Trust’s Unit Price.

  • Net rental income and other for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $141.3 million representing an increase of $8.1 million or 6.1% compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily due to lease-up and renewal activities mainly from retail properties.
  • FFO per Unit(1) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was $0.58 compared to $0.50 for the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in NOI mainly due to lease-up activities and changes in fair value adjustment on the TRS resulting from fluctuations in the Trust’s Unit price, partially offset by a decrease in interest income as a result of the repayment of mortgage receivables and lower loan interest rates compared to the prior year period. FFO with adjustments per Unit(1) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was $0.55 compared to $0.51 for the same period in 2024, an increase of 7.8%.
  • Net income and comprehensive income(1) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased by $19.7 million compared to the same period in 2024. This decrease was mainly driven by a $27.7 million reduction in fair value gain on investment properties, partially offset by a $10.2 million increase in NOI primarily due to lease-up activities for retail and mixed-use properties.
