BTB Q3 2025 Results: Resilient Operational Performance with Lease Renewal Spreads Climbing by 14.5%

04.11.25 00:00 Uhr

MONTRÉAL, Nov. 3, 2025 /CNW/ - BTB Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX: BTB.UN) ("BTB", the "REIT" or the "Trust") announced today its financial results for the third quarter of 2025 ended September 30, 2025 (the "Third Quarter").

Q3-2025 (CNW Group/BTB Real Estate Investment Trust)

"The third quarter reflected BTB's continued growth in rental income, stronger operating results, and sustained leasing momentum across our portfolio" says Michel Léonard, President and CEO of BTB. "Our leasing activities delivered healthy results, with 151,956 square feet of lease renewals and 128,679 square feet of new leases concluded during the quarter. The increase in the average rent renewal rate was 14.5% this quarter. For the nine-month period of 2025, the increase in the average rent renewal rate was 11.3%. Occupancy stood at 91.5% this quarter, an increase of 30 basis points from the previous quarter, reflecting the positive impact of our strategic leasing initiatives. Compared to the same quarter last year, occupancy decreased by 80 basis points, primarily due to the known departure of an industrial tenant in Edmonton, for which leasing efforts are already ongoing.

Our AFFO adjusted per unit¹ rose to 10.1¢ for the quarter, up 4.1% from the same period last year. For the nine-month period of the year, it reached 29.9¢ per unit, marking a 6.8% increase from the same period last year. Both these increases highlight our efficient and disciplined approach to capital management. Rental revenue for Q3 reached $32.9M, up by 1.1% from the same quarter last year. Cash net operating income (Cash NOI)1 grew by 4.2% compared to the same quarter of 2024, totalling $20.1M. This positive increase is driven by higher rent in lease renewals, operational efficiencies, and a $1.1M lease cancellation payment received from an industrial tenant with a planned departure at the end of the first quarter of 2026.

We also continued our portfolio optimization strategy with the sale, in July 2025, of an office property in Quebec City, Province of Québec, for total gross proceeds of $10.5M, excluding transaction costs and adjustments. Subsequently to the quarter, we disposed of a small retail property located in Terrebonne, Québec, in which the Trust held a 50% interest, for total gross proceeds of $3.1M, excluding transaction costs and adjustments. 

We remain focused on stability and long-term value creation for our portfolio, while maintaining an opportunistic view to navigate the current economic environment. With healthy fundamentals and a strong leasing pipeline, we enter the final quarter in a solid position, reflecting the ongoing resilience of our portfolio."

  • Total leasable area: 6.0 million square feet

The increase in the average lease renewal rental rate for the current quarter was 14.5%. For the nine-month period of the year, the increase in the average rent renewal rate was 11.3%. The occupancy rate of the portfolio stood at 91.5%, a 30 basis points increase compared to the prior quarter and an 80 basis points decrease compared to the same period in 2024.

  • Rental revenue: Stood at $32.9 million for the quarter, which represents an increase of $0.4 million or 1.1% compared to the same quarter of 2024. For the nine-month period of the year, rental revenue totalled $97.8 million, representing an increase of $0.4 million or 0.5% compared to the same period in 2024.
  • Net operating income (NOI): Totalled $19.9 million for the quarter, which represents an increase of 5.9% compared to the same quarter of 2024. For the nine-month period of the year, the NOI totalled $56.8 million which represents an increase of 1.5% compared to the same period in 2024.
  • Cash net operating income (Cash NOI) (1): Totalled $20.1 million for the quarter, which represents an increase of $0.8 million or 4.2% compared to the same quarter of 2024. For the nine-month period of the year, the Cash NOI totalled $59.8 million, which represents an increase of $2.5 million or 4.3% compared to the same period in 2024. The recorded increase is driven by (1) a payment received of $1.1 million triggered by a lease cancellation notice received from an industrial tenant with a planned departure at the end of the first quarter of 2026, (2) a partial lease cancellation payment of $1.0 million recorded in the first quarter of the year from a tenant in the suburban office segment, which space has already been re-leased by the Trust, and (3) operating improvements, new leases concluded, higher lease renewal rental rates, and increases in rental spreads for in-place leases representing an increase of $0.4 million.
  • Net income and comprehensive income: Totalled $9.5 million for the quarter, which represents an increase of 73.7% or $4.0 million compared to the same quarter of 2024. For the nine-month period of the year, net income and comprehensive income totalled $23.3 million, representing an increase of 17.1% or $3.4 million compared to the same period of 2024.
  • Cash same-property NOI (1): For the quarter, the cash same-property NOI increased by 4.2% compared to the same period in 2024. For the nine-month period, the cash same-property NOI increased by 3.7% compared to the same period in 2024.
  • FFO adjusted per unit (1): Was 11.5¢ per unit for the quarter compared to 10.7¢ per unit for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of 0.8¢ per unit. For the nine-month period of the year, the FFO adjusted was 30.9¢ per unit compared to 31.3¢ per unit for the same period in 2024, representing a decrease of 0.4¢ per unit. The decrease was caused by the previously reported 2 non-cash straight-line lease adjustments totalling $1.8 million recorded in the second quarter of 2025, namely : (1) an adjustment of $1.6 million due to the 2 year term lease negotiated with the group of investors who purchased Lion Electric; and, (2) an adjustment of $0.2 million due to the early departure of an industrial tenant, Big Rig Trailers, in Edmonton, which property was rapidly entirely re-leased, on a long-term basis, to XCMG Canada Ltd.
  • AFFO adjusted per unit (1): Was 10.1¢ per unit for the quarter compared to 9.7¢ per unit for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of 0.4¢ per unit or 4.1%. For the nine-month period of the year, the AFFO adjusted per unit was 29.9¢ per unit compared to 28.0¢ per unit for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of 1.9¢ per unit or 6.8%. The nine-month period increase is explained by (1) the previously outlined $2.5 million increase in Cash NOI, (2) a $0.3 million increase in administrative expenses and, (3) a 0.6$ million increase in the net financial expenses before fair value adjustments
  • AFFO adjusted payout ratio (1): Was 74.3% for the current quarter compared to 77.2% for the same period in 2024. For the nine-month period of the year, the AFFO adjusted payout ratio was 75.3% compared to 80.3% for the same period in 2024, a decrease of 5.0%.
  • Dispositions: On July 11, 2025, the Trust disposed of an office property located at 1170, Lebourgneuf Blvd., in Quebec City, for total gross proceeds of $10.5 million, excluding transaction costs and adjustments. To conclude the transaction, the Trust granted to the purchaser a balance of sale of $1.0 million, maturing on March 24,2027, at an interest rate of 5.0%.

On October 30, 2025, the Trust disposed of its 50% interest in a small retail property located at 5791 Laurier Blvd, Terrebonne, for total gross proceeds of $3.1 million, excluding transaction costs and adjustments.

APPENDIX 1: RECONCILIATION OF NON-IFRS MEASURESNon-IFRS Financial Measures

Certain 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.

NON-IFRS

MEASURE

DEFINITION

Cash Net
Operating
Income

Cash net operating income ("Cash NOI") is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as net operating income less: (i) lease incentive amortization; and (ii) straight-line lease adjustment.

Cash NOI is reconciled to NOI, which is the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

The Trust considers this to be a useful measure of operating performance and the profitability of it's portfolio by excluding non-cash items.

Cash same-
property
NOI

Cash same-property NOI is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as Cash 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 Cash NOI is Operating Income.

The Trust believes this is a useful measure as Cash 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 Cash 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; (iv) leasing payroll expenses; (v) unit-based compensation; and (vi) 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 mortgage 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 mortgage 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.

NON-IFRS

MEASURE

DEFINITION

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.

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.
