“CAPREIT delivered another quarter of disciplined execution across our strategic, operational and financial priorities, all aimed at increasing free cash flow generation and driving strong earnings for our Unitholders,” 
commented Mark Kenney, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our capital recycling program continues to improve our performance, with proceeds from targeted dispositions reinvested into high-quality, mid-market Canadian properties that offer low capital expenditure requirements and attractive cash flow yields. We also utilized our NCIB program to repurchase Trust Units at a meaningful discount to NAV, which enhanced returns while underscoring our conviction in the long-term value of our strategically positioned portfolio.”

“Operationally, we remain extremely focused on internal optimization, encompassing initiatives across revenue growth, vacancy mitigation and prudent cost reduction and governance,” added Stephen Co, Chief Financial Officer. “These efforts contributed to the expansion of our same property NOI margin, which reached 66.4% in Q3 2025. Our diluted FFO per Unit was up by 0.6% versus the same period last year to $0.663 for the quarter, mainly due to NCIB repurchases, as well as reduced interest expense on credit facilities and mortgages payable. Financially, our balance sheet is resilient and flexible, with low leverage and ample liquidity, enabling us to continue capitalizing on accretive market opportunities ahead, generating higher free cash flow, and ultimately strengthening long-term returns for our Unitholders.”

SUMMARY OF Q3 2025 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Article content

Strategic Initiatives Update

Article content

  • For the three months ended September 30, 2025, CAPREIT acquired four properties with 502 suites in Canada for a total gross purchase price of $157.8 million (excluding transaction costs and customary adjustments). For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, CAPREIT acquired eight properties with 922 suites in Canada for a total gross purchase price of $309.9 million (excluding transaction costs and customary adjustments).

Article content

Article content

  • For the three months ended September 30, 2025, CAPREIT disposed of 1,559 residential suites from multiple residential properties and single residential suites located in the Netherlands, as well as two commercial properties in Belgium and Germany. The gross sale price was $645.9 million (excluding transaction costs and customary adjustments). The gross sale price was settled in cash, with net proceeds used in part for payment of a special cash distribution by ERES (“ERES Special Distribution”). The ERES Special Distribution was declared by ERES on September 15, 2025 and was paid on September 25, 2025.

Article content

  • In addition to the above dispositions, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, CAPREIT disposed of 839 residential suites which were comprised of three non-core residential properties located in Canada. The gross sale price was $136.7 million (excluding transaction costs and customary adjustments). This includes CAPREIT’s divestment from its land lease interest in a non-core 471-suite property in North Vancouver, British Columbia, which was sold to Nch’kay Development Corporation, the economic development group of the Squamish Nation. The land lease had less than 20 years remaining and an annualized FFO impact of approximately $5.5 million, and it was disposed of on September 10, 2025 for $54.2 million.

Article content

  • Including the above dispositions, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, CAPREIT disposed of 4,594 suites and sites for a total gross sale price of $1,193.6 million, consisting of $410.9 million in Canada and $782.7 million in Europe (excluding transaction costs and customary adjustments). CAPREIT has achieved the disposition target of $400 million of non-core Canadian properties during 2025 and will continue to look for opportunities to recycle non-core Canadian properties during the remainder of the year.

Article content

  • Furthermore, ERES is continuing to work with its financial and real estate advisors in connection with the sale process for its remaining portfolio. There can be no assurance that this process will result in the successful completion of the sale of any portion of the remaining portfolio or that such sales will be completed at, or above, reported IFRS fair value. It is anticipated that the proceeds of any such sales will be distributed to Unitholders of ERES after deducting transaction expenses, taxes, wind-up costs and other costs and expenses, which could be significant.

Article content

Article content

  • During the three months ended September 30, 2025, CAPREIT purchased and cancelled approximately 0.6 million Trust Units, under the Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) program, at a weighted average purchase price of $43.36 per Trust Unit, for a total cost of $28.1 million (excluding the federal 2% tax on repurchases of Trust Units). During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, CAPREIT purchased and cancelled approximately 4.7 million of Trust Units, under the NCIB program, at a weighted average purchase price of $42.61 per Trust Unit, for a total cost of $200.0 million (excluding the federal 2% tax on repurchases of Trust Units).

Operating Results

Article content

  • On turnovers and renewals, monthly residential rents for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased by 3.6% and 3.5%, respectively, for the Canadian residential portfolio, compared to 7.4% and 5.7%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Article content

  • Same Property Occupied AMR for the Canadian residential portfolio as at September 30, 2025 increased by 4.4% compared to September 30, 2024, while same property occupancy for the Canadian residential portfolio decreased to 97.8% (September 30, 2024 – 98.1%).

Article content

Article content

  • NOI for the same property portfolio increased by 5.0% and 4.5%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods last year. Additionally, NOI margin for the same property portfolio increased to 66.4%, up 0.8 percentage point, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and increased to 64.8%, up 0.1 percentage point, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods last year.

Article content

  • Diluted FFO per unit increased by 0.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, but declined by 0.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods last year. Gains to FFO in the current year primarily resulted from accretive Trust Unit purchases and cancellations through the NCIB program and to a lesser extent, reduced interest expense on credit facilities and mortgages payable. In contrast, FFO growth was negatively impacted by lower NOI due to dispositions; however, with sale proceeds used in part to repay debt, CAPREIT successfully decreased its total debt to gross book value by 3.2% since September 30, 2024. Higher vacancies also impacted performance versus prior year periods, including increasingly elevated vacancy in the Netherlands arising from ERES’s disposition program, which strategically holds more suites vacant each month in order to maximize sale value.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Article content

  • Effective February 28, 2025, CAPREIT amended the maximum borrowing capacity on its Acquisition and Operating Facility from $600 million to $200 million in an effort to actively manage capital and reduce financing fees. On July 9, 2025, CAPREIT received approval from its lender to temporarily increase the maximum borrowing capacity on the Acquisition and Operating Facility from $200 million to $400 million until September 30, 2025 (inclusive). CAPREIT strategically increased the borrowing capacity temporarily to fund acquisitions, capital investments, and other general trust purposes in anticipation of proceeds in the third quarter of 2025 from the special distribution from ERES that was first announced on April 2, 2025 and which was declared on September 15, 2025. Effective October 1, 2025, the maximum borrowing capacity on its Acquisition and Operating Facility reverted back to $200 million.

Article content

  • As at September 30, 2025, CAPREIT’s financial position remains strong, with approximately $280.5 million of available Canadian liquidity, comprising $83.8 million of Canadian cash and cash equivalents and $196.7 million of available capacity on its Acquisition and Operating Facility, excluding the $400 million accordion option and the $200 million temporary increase which matured on September 30, 2025.

Article content

Article content

  • To date, CAPREIT completed financings totalling $300.9 million, with a weighted average term to maturity of 5.5 years and a weighted average interest rate of 3.66% per annum.

Article content

  • For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the overall carrying value of investment properties (excluding assets held for sale) decreased by $383.4 million primarily due to transfers to assets held for sale of $586.7 million, dispositions of $290.3 million, fair value loss of $66.4 million and derecognition of right-of-use asset of $12.5 million, partially offset by acquisitions of $313.8 million, property capital investments of $167.1 million and foreign currency translation adjustment of $91.6 million.

Article content

  • Diluted NAV per unit as at September 30, 2025 slightly decreased to $56.07 from $56.14 as at June 30, 2025 primarily due to fair value losses recognized on investment properties, partially offset by a gain on foreign currency translation within other comprehensive income.

(1)Same property Occupied AMR and occupancy include all properties held as at September 30, 2024, but exclude properties disposed of as at September 30, 2025.
  

Article content

The rate of growth in total portfolio Occupied AMR has been primarily driven by (i) new acquisitions completed over the past 12 months; and (ii) same property operational growth. The rate of growth in same property Occupied AMR has been primarily due to (i) rental increases on turnover in the rental markets of most provinces across the Canadian portfolio; and (ii) rental increases on renewals.

Article content

Occupancy for the total portfolio as at September 30, 2025 increased by 0.3 percentage points to 97.6% compared to September 30, 2024 primarily due to the MHC portfolio disposition in 2024. Occupancy for the total Canadian residential portfolio as at September 30, 2025 decreased by 0.2 percentage points to 97.8% compared to September 30, 2024, given recent short-term fluctuations in residential market dynamics, which are expected to recover and stabilize in the medium-term. Occupancy for the Netherlands total portfolio as at September 30, 2025 decreased by 4.3 percentage points to 90.8% compared to September 30, 2024, predominantly due to ERES’s disposition program, with a growing number of suites strategically kept vacant each month after tenants end their lease in order to maximize sale value.

Article content

The weighted average gross rent per square foot for total Canadian residential suites was approximately $2.04 as at September 30, 2025 and increased from $1.94 as at September 30, 2024.

rating Revenues

Article content

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, same property operating revenues increased by $8.2 million, primarily driven by increases in monthly rents on turnovers and renewals. Total operating revenues decreased by $30.1 million during the same period, mainly due to lost revenue from dispositions totalling $45.5 million, primarily due to the MHC and ERES portfolio dispositions in 2024, partially offset by revenue generated from acquisitions totalling $7.2 million and operational growth of $8.2 million, on the same property operating portfolio as at September 30, 2025.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, same property operating revenues increased by $27.9 million, primarily driven by increases in monthly rents on turnovers and renewals.

Operating Expenses

Article content

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, realty taxes for total property portfolio decreased compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to dispositions in 2024 and 2025, partially offset by acquisitions and increased realty tax rates in certain municipalities within the province of Ontario. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, realty taxes for same property portfolio increased compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to increases in realty tax rates in certain municipalities within the provinces of British Columbia, Ontario and Québec.

Article content

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, total property utilities decreased year-over-year mainly due to lower water costs resulting from the disposition of the MHC portfolio in 2024. These savings were partially offset by higher electricity costs, driven by increased rates in Ontario and, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, by increased consumption due to colder weather in Ontario and Québec during the first quarter.

Article content

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, same property portfolio utilities increased year-over-year, reflecting higher electricity rates in Ontario and increased consumption during the colder first quarter, as noted above. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, water costs increased mainly due to higher water rates in British Columbia and Alberta. This was partially offset by lower natural gas costs for the three months ended September 30, 2025, mainly due to the federal carbon tax removal that came into effect on April 1, 2025.

Article content

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, other operating expenses for the total property portfolio decreased by $7.4 million and $16.0 million, respectively, or 14.0% and 10.4%, respectively, when compared to the same period last year, primarily due to net disposition activity.

Article content

Article content

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, other operating expenses for the same property portfolio decreased by $1.0 million, or 2.5%, when compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the following reasons:

Article content

        
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, other operating expenses for same property portfolio increased by $2.4 million, or 2.0%, when compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the following reasons:

Non-IFRS Measures

Article content

CAPREIT prepares and releases unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and audited consolidated annual financial statements in accordance with IFRS. In this and other earnings releases and investor conference calls, as a complement to results provided in accordance with IFRS, CAPREIT discloses measures not recognized under IFRS which do not have standard meanings prescribed by IFRS. These include FFO, NAV, Total Debt, Gross Book Value, and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, Amortization and Fair Value (“Adjusted EBITDAFV”) (the “Non-IFRS Financial Measures”), as well as diluted FFO per unit, diluted NAV per unit, FFO payout ratio, Total Debt to Gross Book Value, Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio (the “Non-IFRS Ratios” and together with the Non-IFRS Financial Measures, the “Non-IFRS Measures”). These Non-IFRS Measures are further defined and discussed in the MD&A released on November 6, 2025, which should be read in conjunction with this press release. Since these measures and related per unit amounts are not recognized under IFRS, they may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other issuers. CAPREIT presents Non-IFRS Measures because management believes Non-IFRS Measures are relevant measures of the ability of CAPREIT to earn revenue and to evaluate its performance, financial condition and cash flows. These Non-IFRS Measures have been assessed for compliance with National Instrument 52-112 and a reconciliation of these Non-IFRS Measures is included in this press release below. The Non-IFRS Measures should not be construed as alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of CAPREIT’s performance or the sustainability of CAPREIT’s distributions.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Article content

Certain statements contained in this press release constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking information may relate to CAPREIT’s future outlook and anticipated events or results and may include statements regarding the future financial position, business strategy, budgets, litigation, occupancy rates, rental rates, productivity, projected costs, capital investments, development and development opportunities, financial results, taxes, plans and objectives of, or involving, CAPREIT. Particularly, statements regarding CAPREIT’s future results, performance, achievements, prospects, costs, opportunities and financial outlook, including those relating to acquisition, disposition and capital investment strategies and the real estate industry generally, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by terms such as “may”, “will”, “would”, “should”, “could”, “likely”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “intend”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “predict”, “potential”, “project”, “budget”, “continue” or the negative thereof, or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements are based on certain factors and assumptions regarding expected growth, results of operations, performance, and business prospects and opportunities. In addition, certain specific assumptions were made in preparing forward-looking information, including: that the Canadian and Dutch economies will generally experience growth, which, however, may be adversely impacted by the geopolitical risks, global economy, inflation and elevated interest rates, potential health crises and their direct or indirect impacts on the business of CAPREIT, including CAPREIT’s ability to enforce leases, perform capital expenditure work, increase rents and apply for above guideline increases (“AGIs”), obtain financings at favourable interest rates; that Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (“CMHC”) mortgage insurance will continue to be available and that a sufficient number of lenders will participate in the CMHC-insured mortgage program to ensure competitive rates; that the Canadian capital markets will continue to provide CAPREIT with access to equity and/or debt at reasonable rates; that vacancy rates for CAPREIT properties will be consistent with historical norms; that rental rates on renewals will grow; that rental rates on turnovers will grow; that the difference between in-place and market-based rents will be reduced upon such turnovers and renewals; that CAPREIT will effectively manage price pressures relating to its energy usage; and, with respect to CAPREIT’s financial outlook regarding capital investments, assumptions respecting projected costs of construction and materials, availability of trades, the cost and availability of financing, CAPREIT’s investment priorities, the properties in which investments will be made, the composition of the property portfolio, the impact and scope of certain commitments and contingencies, and the projected return on investment in respect of specific capital investments. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on assumptions and information that is currently available to management, which are subject to change, management believes these statements have been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting CAPREIT’s best estimates and judgements. However, there can be no assurance actual results, terms or timing will be consistent with these forward-looking statements, and they may prove to be incorrect. Forward-looking statements necessarily involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond CAPREIT’s control, that may cause CAPREIT’s or the industry’s actual results, performance, achievements, prospects and opportunities in future periods to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, risks related to: rent control and residential tenancy regulations, general economic conditions, privacy, cyber security and data governance risks, availability and cost of debt, acquisitions and dispositions, leasing risk, valuation risk, liquidity and price volatility of units of CAPREIT (“Trust Units”), catastrophic events, climate change, taxation-related risks (including certain tax liabilities and contingencies), energy costs, environmental matters, vendor management and third-party service providers, operating risk, talent management and human resources shortages, public health crises, other regulatory compliance risks, litigation risk, CAPREIT’s investment in ERES, potential conflicts of interest, investment restrictions, lack of diversification of investment assets, geographic concentration, illiquidity of real property, capital investments, dependence on key personnel, property development, adequacy of insurance and captive insurance, competition for residents, controls over disclosures and financial reporting, the nature of Trust Units, dilution, distributions and foreign operation and currency risks. There can be no assurance that the expectations of CAPREIT’s management will prove to be correct. These risks and uncertainties are more fully described in regulatory filings, including CAPREIT’s Annual Information Form, which can be obtained on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, under CAPREIT’s profile, as well as under the “Risks and Uncertainties” section of the MD&A released on November 6, 2025. The information in this press release is based on information available to management as of November 6, 2025. Subject to applicable law, CAPREIT does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking information.
