These non-IFRS measures are further described in Management's Discussion and Analysis ('MD&A') available on SEDAR+. Certain non-IFRS measures relating to net mortgages have been shown below. The Company has presented such non-IFRS measures because the Manager believes they are relevant measures of the Company's ability to earn and distribute cash dividends to shareholders and to evaluate its performance. The following non-IFRS financial measures should not be construed as alternatives to total net income and comprehensive income or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of the Company's performance.

When used in this news release, the words 'may', 'would', 'should', 'could', 'will', 'intend', 'plan', 'anticipate', 'believe', 'estimate', 'expect', 'objective' and similar expressions may be used to identify forward looking statements. By their nature, forward looking statements reflect the Company's current views, beliefs, assumptions and intentions and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, including, without limitation, those risks disclosed in the Company's public filings. Many factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by these forward looking statements. The Company does not intend to nor assumes any obligation to update these forward looking statements whether as a result of new information, plans, events or otherwise, unless required by law.
Net mortgage investments
(In thousands of Canadian dollars, except units, per unit amounts and where otherwise noted)
The Company's exposure to the financial returns is related to the net mortgage investments as mortgage syndication liabilities are non-recourse mortgages with periodic variance having no impact on Company's financial performance. Reconciliation of gross and net mortgage investments balance is as follows:
Enhanced return portfolio
Real estate held for sale, net of collateral liability

Elon Musk's long history of having a short fuse and burning through friends and relationships: ‘he busts up with everybody'
Become friends with Elon Musk and, likely, the clock will be ticking. Characters as diverse as Silicon Valley tech moguls and Canadian alt-pop singer Grimes have all entered his personal orbit before later screeching out again, usually followed by some degree of scorched earth via social media. There is no greater example than Musk's relationship with now-President Donald Trump. Everyone knew the richest man in the world would fall out with the most powerful, but few predicted it would happen so quickly — just six months after the inauguration. 'He is prone to lash out,' admitted Faiz Siddiqui, author of 'Hubris Maximus: The Shattering of Elon Musk,' to The Post. 'He is insulated and can make his point.' Advertisement Regardless of how sharp the point may be, Musk can shed a friend and walk away unscathed. 15 Elon Musk has been known to bring disagreements to X and to comment publicly. Getty Images 'He has an army, the largest following on X [the social media platform], that will back him.' Advertisement Here then is a sampling of former friends, colleagues and loved ones who once embraced Musk, only to later feel the burn. Larry Page Google co-founder Larry Page and Elon Musk were so chummy Musk routinely crashed at Page's home. Fortune included the pair in a story about 'eight business leaders you didn't know were BFFs.' But things fell apart when Musk hired a top scientist away from Google in 2015. Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI, paid Ilya Sutskever $1.9 million to head up its new lab. According to 'Musk,' by Walter Isaacson, the poaching ended their friendship. 'Larry felt betrayed and was really mad at me,' Musk told Isaacson in the book. 'He refused to hang out with me anymore.' Advertisement 15 Larry Page of Google fell out with Elon Musk after Musk poached one of his employees. AFP/Getty Images Zack 'Asmongold' Hoyt It's hard to imagine the world's richest man in a childish spat with an online gaming streamer. But that was the situation with Musk and Zack 'Asmongold' Hoyt. Like other professional gamers, Asmongold watched Musk playing 'Path of Exile 2' on a livestream. Following common sentiment, he alleged Musk paid other people to play for him, which is called 'boosting.' Apparently insulted by the allegation, Musk unfollowed Asmongold and removed his blue checkmark from X. In response, Asmongold posted a YouTube video called 'Elon Musk has Lost It.' Advertisement Musk went on to push out private direct messages between them. Forbes summed up the fallout by noting about Musk, 'He may not really have time to beef with Twitch streamers … Yet, here we are.' 15 The gamer Zack 'Asmongold' Hoyt saw his relationship with Elon Musk fizzle after he accused Musk of boosting a computer game. Asmongold/ X Justine Wilson Justine Wilson was married to Musk from 2000 to 2008. She watched him become a billionaire and bore six children (one of whom died tragically at 10 weeks due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). She later described herself as a 'starter wife.' Musk, according to Wilson, told her, 'If you were my employee, I would fire you.' After eight years and three sessions of couple's counseling, Musk filed for divorce. During two years of litigation – which Musk said cost him $4 million – she rallied for their house in Bel Air, 10 percent of his Tesla shares, 5 percent of his SpaceX shares, $6 million and a glacier blue Tesla Roadster. But thanks to a prenup, Wilson said, 'I had effectively sold away all my rights as a married person.' She wound up with far less than the billions won by other tech divorcees like Bill Gates' ex Melinda French and Jeff Bezos' firs wife, MacKenzie Scott. While Forbes estimates Wilson's wealth at $18 million, they also estimate she would have $17.3 billion had she received the settlement requested. 15 Elon Musk and Justine Wilson when they were still married to one another. Justine Musk Advertisement 15 Had Elon Musk given ex-wife Justine Wilson what she asked for in their divorce, Wilson would be a billionaire today. AFP via Getty Images Vivian Jenna Wilson Originally name Zavier, Vivian Jenna Wilson was born male, to Musk and Justine, along with a twin sister, in 2004. Responding to Vivian's transgender identity, Musk publicly maintained that his offspring was 'not a girl' and described them as being 'dead' to him. Vivian went to a California court to change their name and distance themselves from their father. 'I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form,' Vivian stated in the filing. 15 Vivian Jenna Wilson told a California court that she no longer wishes 'to be related to my biological father.' Vivian Jenna Wilson/TikTok Philip Low Advertisement After meeting Elon Musk socially in 2011, neuroscientist Philip Low, who had been a test subject for Stephen Hawking, became fast friends with the Silicon Valley mogul. Soon after, Low launched a company called NeuroVigil, which boasted a non-invasive device for brain monitoring. Musk invested and joined the board. In 2021, according to Politico, Musk – who had his own brain implant company, Neuralink – wanted to resign from the other company's advisory board. Not wanting him to exercise his stock options, which could significantly hurt Neurovigil, Low fired him. He sent an email to Musk, warning, 'Don't f—k with me.' Advertisement According to Politico, Low '[cast Musk] as obsessive, prone to seeking revenge, power hungry and in constant search of dominance.' 15 Philip Low warned Musk 'don't f–k with me' when he started making noise about exiting his brain implant start-up. Martin Eberhard In 2003, Martin Eberhard was one of two co-founders who incorporated Tesla. Elon Musk invested in the company and, one year later, became chairman. Musk was later recognized as a cofounder, following a lawsuit. 'That was a side issue and it got sorted out,' Siddiqui told The Post. The falling out has more to do with Musk 'claiming that he was almost solely responsible for the company.' Advertisement It doesn't help that Musk ousted Eberhard from his CEO post in 2007, according to Business Insider. Musk has since described Eberhard as 'by far the worst person I've ever worked with in my entire career.' In 2009, Eberhard sued Musk for defamation. Though the suit was settled out of court, in Isaacson's Musk bio, Eberhard does marvel, 'This is the richest man in the world beating on someone who can't touch him.' 15 Martin Eberhard wonders why 'the richest man in the world' would be 'beating on someone who can't touch him.' AP Sam Harris Disagreeing with Elon Musk might not be a good way to foster a friendship with him. The neuroscientist Sam Harris discovered this the hard way. Harris and Musk first became acquainted in 2008. They fell out in 2020 when Musk tweeted 'the coronavirus panic is dumb.' Harris has claimed that he asked Musk to 'walk back' from the position. 'There was a question about Musk weighing in on something that he does not have the expertise to weigh in on,' said Siddiqui. 'Is that putting people at risk?' Harris claimed Musk bet $1 million with him that there would be no more than 35,000 COVID-19 cases in America. If the number exceeded 35,000 Harris would be paid $1 million, to go to a charity. If it did not, Musk would get a $10,000 bottle of tequila. Harris obviously won. But did the million materialize? His texts went unanswered. Since then, via X, Musk called Harris 'mentally ill.' 15 Neuroscientist Sam Harris claims that musk lost a $1 million bet to him and did not pay it. YouTube/ Recode Harris said there is 'something seriously wrong with [Musk's] moral compass.' Grimes The singer whose real name is Claire Boucher was romantically involved with Elon Musk from 2018 until 2021. They have three children with unique names: X AE A-XII (aka, X), Exa (aka, Y) and Techno Mechanicus. There have also been suits and countersuits over custody. In February 2025, Grimes posted to X Musk should respond to a 'medical crisis' involving one of their children. When somebody questioned her taking a private situation to social media, she replied, 'If I have to apply public pressure then I guess that's where we're at.' X accompanied Musk when he met with President Trump in the Oval Office. Grimes allegedly posted to X she does 'not approve that in every conceivable way … I am desperate to solve it … But currently I don't know how to do it.' 15 Grimes went to X to ask Elon Musk to respond to a 'medical crisis' involving one of their children. Getty Images Sam Altman In 2015, Musk, Altman and others founded artificial intelligence company OpenAI as a non-profit. It then launched its for-profit arm, ChatGPT. Musk and Altman then fell out over the direction of the company. 'Musk wanted OpenAI to hold onto this idea that it is a non-profit,' said Siddiqui. 'Like that it would be for the good of humanity.' When Musk moved to buy OpenAI, Altman, 40, accused the tech billionaire of being in 'a position of insecurity,' adding 'I feel bad for the guy.' He also recently told The Post: 'Elon busts up with everybody, that's what he does,' the 40-year-old golden boy behind ChatGPT told The Post. Musk has taken to referring to Altman as 'Scam Altman.' 15 X, standing in front of Elon Musk, is his child who accompanied him to the White House. Getty Images 15 Regarding his former partner Elon Musk, Sam Altman said, 'I feel bad for the guy.' REUTERS Jack Dorsey Dorsey co-founded micro-blogging site Twitter, which Musk eventually bought and re-named X. In 2022 as the deal was about to go through, Dorsey went so far to say he had faith in Musk's 'mission to extend the light of consciousness.' But once in place, Musk made job cuts, changes in policy and the name change. By 2023, Dorsey was saying Twitter 'went south' after his purchase. 15 Twitter cofounder Jack Dorsey claimed that the site 'went south' after Elon Musk took it over. Getty Images Peter Thiel Peter Thiel and Elon Musk have known each other long enough for their relationship to be complicated. In 2000, they combined their respective banking companies to create PayPal. By 2025, it's been a bit of a roller coaster. According to Thiel biography 'The Contrarian,' the two men realized their differences early on. Soon after the merger, Musk crashed his million dollar McLaren while driving Thiel to a meeting. Thiel, according to the book's author, saw Musk as reckless. Musk viewed Thiel as profit driven. Following the merge, while Musk was on his honeymoon, Thiel and his loyalists pushed Musk out of his CEO spot. But the grudge didn't hold. After all, when Musk's SpaceX was going through choppy times in 2008, Thiel provided a $20 million investment that set the company right — and its rocket entered orbit on its next attempt. Though they have called one another unflattering names – according to Business Insider, Musk regards Thiel as 'a sociopath' and Thiel views Musk as 'a fraud' – Siddiqui sees common ground. 'I think philosophically they are largely aligned,' he said. 'In the political arena, they have advocated for a lot of the same policies.' 15 Peter Thiel is said to view Musk as 'a fraud' while Musk is said to view Thiel as a 'sociopath.' AP Vernon Unsworth Sometimes two people try to do the right thing and it goes terribly sideways. Such was the case when Elon Musk and British caver Vernon Unsworth pitched in to save 12 boys trapped in a waterlogged Thai cave system for 15 days. Musk sent engineers from Tesla and a mini submarine to the site. Unsworth took a more traditional approach, finding skilled cave divers and dispatching them to where the boys – members of a Thai soccer team – were trapped. Musk's vessel never got used and Unsworth dubbed it a PR stunt, suggesting that he 'stick his submarine where it hurts.' Musk entertained his 30 million followers on X by dubbing the diver 'pedo guy' in a since deleted tweet. 15 Vernon Unsworth, who helped save the Thai kids trapped in a cave, sued Elon Musk for defamation. The legal action was unsuccessful. AP Unsworth sued for defamation Musk insisted that, in his native South Africa, 'pedo guy' is a common phrase. The kids were saved, Musk was found not guilty of defamation. Musk's lawyer stated the obvious in his summing up: 'In arguments, you insult people.'

KFC lost its footing in the Chicken Wars. Now it's gunning for a 'Kentucky Fried Comeback.'
KFC may be down, but it wants you to know it's not out. The legacy fried chicken chain has faced slumping sales and increased competition, lagging behind its rivals in foot traffic and catching flak for being voted among the worst fast-food chicken chains. The company's new leadership team is digging in for a full-blown fried fowl revival with the launch of its "Kentucky Fried Comeback" campaign on July 14, which aims to reclaim KFC's former fast-food fame. "It feels like every competitor wants to be in the fried chicken space, including our sister brands. So it is the place to be," Catherine Tan-Gillespie, president of KFC US, told Business Insider. "But, like many legacy and incumbent brands, we've kind of lost a bit of ground — we hadn't lost our grit, but we had lost a bit of ground." Tan-Gillespie, a 10-year KFC veteran who previously served as its Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Development Officer, was named President of KFC US, effective April 1. Alongside the chain's new CEO, Scott Mezvinsky, who was appointed to the role in January, Tan-Gillespie is aiming to rejuvenate the 72-year-old chicken chain. In the first week of the comeback promotion, driven by a deal offering a free 8-piece meal with a $15 purchase, Tan-Gillespie said the company had seen "a record-breaking surge in KFC Rewards sign-ups and app downloads, plus unprecedented digital traffic," including the chain's "biggest week ever for digital sales and digital transactions." "This is just the beginning of our comeback," Tan-Gillespie said. "And we couldn't be more excited about what's ahead." The 'Kentucky Fried Comeback' In total sales, KFC has, for more than a decade, trailed competitors like Chick-fil-A and Popeyes. In June, it lost its third-place footing to the relative newcomer Raising Cane's, a 28-year-old chain that CNBC reported ballooned past $5.1 billion in sales in 2024. In the same period, the Colonel's annual same-store sales decreased for the fifth quarter in a row. The American Customer Satisfaction Index found that KFC also posted poor consumer satisfaction results, slipping 5% in 2024. Earlier this month, Yelp released a ranking of the top 20 chicken chains serving chicken sandwiches nationwide, and KFC came in 18th place among consumers. The legacy chain didn't break the top 5 in any region across the US. The chicken chain's first phase of its comeback plan features a new addition — fried pickles — to its expansive menu, which currently includes buckets, bowls, and combo meals of its fried chicken, as well as adjacent offerings like pot pies, waffles, tenders, nuggets, and sandwiches. While the chain bets on new menu innovations, it's also pushing a nostalgic vibe, with a resurgence of the chain's figurehead, the Colonel, in marketing materials. Matty Matheson, the Canadian celebrity chef known for his role in the acclaimed Hulu series "The Bear," will likewise star in a series of ads promoting the fried chicken chain. Though Matheson is a burgeoning icon for Gen Z fans, Tan-Gillespie said his work as a spokesperson isn't about bridging a generational divide among KFC's consumers. "We don't tend to think too much in sort of ages, I think we're a brand for everybody," she said. Instead, Matheson "was just a perfect pairing" for the brand. Though details have yet to be formally announced, Tan-Gillespie said to expect a series of forthcoming renovations to KFC's restaurants, which will give the chain a physical facelift to support its reinvigorated brand identity. "It may not be exactly super, super sexy, but it's very simple: it's listening to what our customers want and giving it to them," Tan-Gillespie told BI. A promising strategy — if it's played right R.J. Hottovy, head of analytical research at the location intelligence and foot traffic data software firm, told Business Insider that the menu changes, free chicken promotion, and the new marketing campaign should help boost brand awareness in the short term, but it's a long road for KFC to restore its place in the chicken chain pecking order. "The category remains fiercely competitive, and a true comeback will ultimately require more substantial enhancements to its menu, marketing, and real estate strategies," Hottovy said. data recorded during the week of July 14th — which marked the launch of the comeback campaign — showed foot traffic at KFC locations nationwide down 0.1% compared to last year. While still a dip, that's a marked improvement from the week prior, when visits were down 2.7% year-over-year, suggesting the turnaround might just be starting to sizzle. Michael Della Penna, the chief strategy officer of the digital advertising and real-time marketing firm, InMarket, told Business Insider that KFC's relaunch, which builds on initiatives the brand has been promoting over the last year, is "doing a couple of things really right." The chain recently relaunched its 2000-era meal deals — rightly, Della Penna said, since combo meals are proven to be successful in terms of driving purchases — and new sauce-forward chicken tenders capitalize on "the hot and spicy craze" popularized by Gen Z, broadening KFC's appeal to younger audiences. Matthew Barry, Euromonitor International's Global Insight Manager of Food, Cooking, and Meals, told Business Insider that loyalty programs are also a big incentive for customers, making it a good move by KFC to lean in. "That locks customers in to get to those values," Barry said. "And that does not necessarily mean the cheapest thing. When I go out in this climate and I spend the money, the question is: Am I getting value for it? Because if I'm going to go out, it's got to be worth it for me." With consumers more price-conscious and with more options than ever, KFC has to ensure it is attractive to the broadest possible audience while maintaining the reputation that helped grow it to over 30,000 restaurants around the world, Usha Haley, chair in international business and professor of management at the Barton School of Business at Wichita State University, told Business Insider. "Brands need to maintain their legacy image while simultaneously appealing to a younger audience," Haley said."Tread carefully is the advice I give."

Canadian retirees: 7 things to stop spending on to maximize your cashflow
Many retirees in Canada have meticulously planned their expenses, mapping out health care costs, housing and travel with precision. But what if being more pragmatic about your spending could stretch your retirement dollars further, boost monthly cash flow or even add extra years of financial freedom? In retirement, every little bit helps. With that in mind, here are the top seven things Canadian retirees should stop spending their money on to improve their financial freedom. Don't Miss Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich — and 'anyone' can do it The Canadian economy is showing signs of softening amid Trump's tariffs — protect your wallet with these 5 essential money moves (most of which you can complete in just minutes) I'm almost 50 and don't have enough retirement savings. What should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 solid ways you can catch up 1. Cars It's easy to justify a new car purchase every decade or so when you're commuting to work or dropping the kids off at school, but your retirement probably involves a lot less travel than your working days. Your golden years are the perfect opportunity to cut back on one of the biggest financial drains for most Canadians: vehicles. That's not to say you need to abandon your car entirely and switch to public transit, but getting rid of your second vehicle — or buying a relatively modest, cheap, used car instead of something brand new — could be justified in retirement. You could also switch to ride-sharing apps or weekend rentals to minimize your transportation costs. Every dollar saved on parking, maintenance, taxes and insurance could be used to fund your lifestyle instead. 2. High-maintenance items Retirement is the perfect opportunity to downsize your lifestyle and restructure your spending to focus only on the things you need or enjoy the most. One option is to downsize your home and move into a smaller dwelling to save on maintenance costs or property taxes. You could also decide to let go of that recreational vehicle, or that boat in your driveway that may be chewing into your monthly budget. To be fair, retirement is also about enjoying your freedom, so you don't need to cut every luxury indulgence. But if there's something you find yourself less attached to, maybe this is the time to let it go.

Vacation homes or timeshares The sudden spike in mortgage interest rates is making vacation homes and cottages less affordable. According to a Royal LePage report, the demand for vacation homes and cottages slowed significantly in 2024 compared to the spike seen during the pandemic, with the average recreational property in Canada often settling around $678,000. Selling your second property could unlock significant equity that can be added to your stock or bonds portfolio to boost monthly cash flow. 4. Financially supporting your adult children According to various surveys, a significant number of Canadian retirees financially support their adult children. A Fidelity Investments Canada report found that 59% of retirees provide some form of financial support to their adult children, ranging from helping with everyday expenses to assisting with large purchases like homes or weddings. If you're part of this cohort, it could be a good idea to have a conversation with your children to see if you can steadily cut back on the financial assistance. Minimizing this cost can go a long way to securing your retirement or enhancing your financial security. 5. Over-insuring yourself Retirement is a good time to re-evaluate your insurance policies to see if you can save some money. As a senior, monthly premiums for insurance policies are likely to be higher given your age. Speak to a financial adviser to see if you're over-insured and if you have room to cut some of your monthly premiums. 6. Unnecessary subscriptions It's easy to ignore an accumulation of a lifetime of subscriptions. As a retiree, it could be a good idea to review all your monthly subscriptions and see if you really need those streaming services, weekly magazines or meal-kit delivery services. 7. Luxury travel and experiences Your retirement is the perfect time to indulge in travel and luxury experiences, but overindulging could be stretching your budget when you get back home to your regular life. Consider traveling during off-seasons or look for special deals to lower the cost of that annual vacation. Cutting back on spa visits and luxury cruises could also help add hundreds or even thousands of dollars to your budget.
