BTB delivers strong Q1 2025 revenue growth of 5.4%
MONTRÉAL , May 5, 2025 /CNW/ - BTB Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX: BTB.UN) ("BTB", the "REIT" or the "Trust") announced today its financial results for the first quarter of 2025 ended March 31, 2025 (the "First Quarter").
"The first quarter of 2025 was marked by prudent financial management as we sail through uncertain economic times. Our strategic decisions show strong and consistent results, keeping us aligned with our commitment to operational excellence, strategic growth and financial prudence." says Michel Léonard, President and CEO of BTB. "Our operating results this quarter reflect the strength of our leasing and operational efforts. Our net operating income rose by 8.0% compared to the same period last year, totaling $19.8 M. This increase reflects the impact of operational improvements, higher rent achieved in lease renewals, organic increases in rent for in-place leases and an indemnity payment of $1.0 M received from a tenant who cancelled part of its lease prior to its expiration, which space has already been leased by the Trust. Based on those results, our FFO adjusted rose to 11.1¢ per unit, increasing by 8.8% compared to Q1 2024. Additionally, our rental revenue increased by 5.4% to stand at $34.4 M, with an average rent renewal rate increase of 5.1% during the quarter. Our occupancy rate dipped slightly to 92.5% but remained stable despite a previously announced tenant bankruptcy."

- Rental revenue: Stood at $34.4 million for the quarter, which represents an increase of 5.4% compared to the same quarter of 2024.
- Net operating income (NOI): Totalled $19.8 million for the quarter, which represents an increase of 8.0% compared to the same quarter of 2024. The increase is driven by : (1) a partial lease cancellation payment of $1.0 million from a tenant in the suburban office segment which space has already been leased by the Trust; (2) operating improvements, higher rent renewal rates, and increases in rental spreads for in-place leases ($0.3 million); and (3) the new Winners/HomeSense lease which begun in February 25, 2025 ($0.1 million).
- Net income and comprehensive income: Totalled $7.6 million, which represents an increase of 6.4% or $0.5 million. The result for the quarter is affected by: (1) an increase in NOI of $1.5 million; and (2) a $0.5 million decrease in administrative expenses which are partly offset by (3) a $0.6 million increase in net financial expenses before fair value adjustments; and (4) a $1.1 million non-cash loss in the net adjustment of the fair value of derivative financial instruments.
- Same-property NOI (1): For the quarter, the same-property NOI increased by 7.3% compared to the same period in 2024.
- FFO adjusted per unit (1): Was 11.1¢ per unit for the quarter compared to 10.2¢ per unit for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of 0.9¢ per unit or 8.8%. The increase is explained by the previously outlined increase in NOI, decrease in administrative expenses and increase in net financial expenses before fair value adjustments. FFO adjusted per unit is negatively impacted by an increase in weighted average number of units outstanding of 1.3 million units compared to the same period in 2024. To nullify this dilution, the Trust suspended the distribution reinvestment plan ("DRIP") on February 24, 2025.
- FFO adjusted payout ratio (1): Was 67.4% for the quarter compared to 73.5% for the same period in 2024, a decrease of 6.1%.
- AFFO adjusted per unit (1): Was 10.3¢ per unit for the quarter compared to 8.9¢ per unit for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of 1.4¢ per unit or 15.7%, in line with the increase of FFO adjusted.
- AFFO adjusted payout ratio (1): Was 72.7% for the current quarter compared to 83.9% for the same period in 2024, a decrease of 11.2%.

APPENDIX 1: RECONCILIATION OF NON-IFRS MEASURES
Non-IFRS Financial MeasuresCertain terms used in this press release are listed and defined in the table hereafter, including any per unit information if applicable, are not measures recognized by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. Such measures may differ from similar computations as reported by similar entities and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures. Explanations on how these non-IFRS financial measures provide useful information to investors and additional purposes, if any, for which the Trust uses these non- IFRS financial measures, are also included in the table hereafter.
Securities regulations require that non-IFRS financial measures be clearly defined and that they not be assigned greater weight than IFRS measures. The referred non-IFRS financial measures, which are reconciled to the most similar IFRS measure in the table thereafter if applicable, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and these measures cannot be compared to similar measures used by other issuers.
NON-IFRS MEASURE | DEFINITION |
Adjusted net income | Adjusted net income is a non-IFRS financial measure that starts with net income and comprehensive income and removes the effects of: (i) fair value adjustment of investment properties; (ii) fair value adjustment of derivative financial instruments; (iii) fair value adjustment of Class B LP units; and (iv) transaction costs incurred for acquisitions and dispositions of investment properties and early repayment fees. The Trust considers this to be a useful measure of operating performance, as fair value adjustments can fluctuate widely with the real estate market and transaction costs are non-recurring in nature. |
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") | Adjusted EBITDA income is a non-IFRS financial measure that starts with net income and comprehensive income and removes the effects of certain adjustments, on a proportionate basis, including: (i) interest expense; (ii) taxes; (iii) depreciation of property and equipment; (iv) amortization of intangible assets; (v) fair value adjustments (including adjustments of investment properties, of financial instruments, of Class B LP units and of unit price adjustments related to unit-based compensation); (vi) transaction costs for acquisitions and dispositions of investment properties and early repayment fees; and (vii) straight-line rental revenue adjustments. The most directly comparable IFRS measure to Adjusted EBITDA is net income and comprehensive income. The Trust believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful metric to determine its ability to service debt, to finance capital expenditures and to provide distributions to its Unitholders. |
Same-Property NOI | Same-Property NOI is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as net operating income ("NOI") for the properties that the Trust owned and operated for the entire duration of both the current year and the previous year. The most directly comparable IFRS measure to same-property NOI is Operating Income. The Trust believes this is a useful measure as NOI growth can be assessed on its portfolio by excluding the impact of property acquisitions and dispositions of both the current year and previous year. The Trust uses the Same-Property NOI to indicate the profitability of its existing portfolio operations and the Trust's ability to increase its revenues, reduce its operating costs and generate organic growth. |
NON-IFRS MEASURE | DEFINITION |
Funds from Operations ("FFO") and FFO Adjusted | FFO is a non-IFRS financial measure used by most Canadian real estate investment trusts based on a standardized definition established by REALPAC in its January 2022 White Paper ("White Paper"). FFO is defined as net income and comprehensive income less certain adjustments, on a proportionate basis, including: (i) fair value adjustments on investment properties, class B LP units and derivative financial instruments; (ii) amortization of lease incentives; (iii) incremental leasing costs; and (iv) distribution on class B LP units. FFO is reconciled to net income and comprehensive income, which is the most directly comparable IFRS measure. FFO is also reconciled with the cash flows from operating activities, which is an IFRS measure. FFO Adjusted is also a non-IFRS financial measure that starts with FFO and remove the impact of non-recurring items such as transaction cost on acquisitions and dispositions of investment properties and early repayment fees. The Trust believes FFO and FFO Adjusted are key measures of operating performance and allow the investors to compare its historical performance. |
Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO") and AFFO Adjusted | AFFO is a non-IFRS financial measure used by most Canadian real estate investment trusts based on a standardized definition established by REALPAC in its White Paper. AFFO is defined as FFO less: (i) straight- line rental revenue adjustment; (ii) accretion of effective interest; (iii) amortization of other property and equipment; (iv) unit-based compensation expenses; (v) provision for non-recoverable capital expenditures; and (vi) provision for unrecovered rental fees (related to regular leasing expenditures). AFFO is reconciled to net income and comprehensive income, which is the most directly comparable IFRS measure. AFFO is also reconciled with the cash flows from operating activities, which is an IFRS measure. AFFO Adjusted is also a non-IFRS financial measure that starts with AFFO and removes the impact of non-recurring items such as transaction costs on acquisitions and dispositions of investment properties and early repayment fees. The Trust considers AFFO and AFFO Adjusted to be useful measures of recurring economic earnings and relevant in understanding its ability to service its debt, fund capital expenditures and provide distributions to unitholders. |
NON-IFRS MEASURE | DEFINITION |
FFO and AFFO per unit and FFO adjusted and AFFO adjusted per unit | FFO and AFFO per unit and FFO adjusted and AFFO adjusted per unit are non-IFRS financial measures used by most Canadian real estate investment trusts based on a standardized definition established by REALPAC in its White Paper. These ratios are calculated by dividing the FFO, AFFO, FFO adjusted and AFFO adjusted by the Weighted average number of units and Class B LP units outstanding. The Trust believes these metrics to be key measures of operating performances allowing the investors to compare its historical performance in relation to an individual per unit investment in the Trust. |
FFO and AFFO payout ratios and FFO Adjusted and AFFO Adjusted payout ratios | FFO and AFFO payout ratios and FFO Adjusted and AFFO Adjusted payout ratios are non-IFRS financial measures used by most Canadian real estate investment trusts based on a standardized definition established by REALPAC in its White Paper. These payout ratios are calculated by dividing the actual distributions per unit by FFO, AFFO and FFO Adjusted and AFFO Adjusted per unit in each period. The Trust considers these metrics a useful way to evaluate its distribution paying capacity. |
Total debt ratio | Total debt ratio is a non-IFRS financial measure of the Trust financial leverage, which is calculated by taking the total long-term debt less cash divided by total gross value of the assets of the Trust less cash. The Trust considers this metric useful as it indicates its ability to meet its debt obligations and its capacity for future additional acquisitions. |
Total Mortgage Debt Ratio | Mortgage debt ratio is a non-IFRS financial measure of the Trust financial leverage, which is calculated by taking the total mortgage debt less cash divided by total gross value of the assets of the Trust less cash. The Trust considers this metric useful as it indicates its ability to meet its mortgage debt obligations and its capacity for future additional acquisitions. |
Interest Coverage Ratio | Interest coverage ratio is a non-IFRS financial measure which is calculated by taking the Adjusted EBITDA divided by interest expenses net of financial income (interest expenses exclude early repayment fees, accretion of effective interest, distribution on Class B LP units, accretion of non-derivative liability component of convertible debentures and the fair value adjustment on derivative financial instruments and Class B LP units). The Trust considers this metric useful as it indicates its ability to meet its interest cost obligations for a given period. |
NON-IFRS MEASURE | DEFINITION |
Debt Service Coverage Ratio | Debt service coverage ratio is a non-IFRS financial measure which is calculated by taking the Adjusted EBITDA divided by the Debt Service Requirements, which consists of principal repayments and interest expenses net of financial income (interest expenses exclude early repayment fees, accretion of effective interest, distribution on Class B LP units, accretion of non-derivative liability component of convertible debentures and the fair value adjustment on derivative financial instruments and Class B LP units). The Trust considers this metric useful as it indicates its ability to meet its interest cost obligations for a given period. |
