MEG Q1 Earnings Call: Organic Growth, Regulatory Tailwinds, and Margin Expansion Drive Results
Environmental services provider Montrose (NYSE:MEG) reported Q1 CY2025 results beating Wall Street's revenue expectations , with sales up 14.5% year on year to $177.8 million. The company's full-year revenue guidance of $760 million at the midpoint came in 0.7% above analysts' estimates. Its non-GAAP profit of $0.07 per share was significantly above analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy MEG? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $177.8 million vs analyst estimates of $167.8 million (14.5% year-on-year growth, 6% beat) Adjusted EPS: $0.07 vs analyst estimates of -$0.09 (significant beat) The company reconfirmed its revenue guidance for the full year of $760 million at the midpoint EBITDA guidance for the full year is $106.5 million at the midpoint, above analyst estimates of $104.5 million Operating Margin: -5.9%, in line with the same quarter last year Organic Revenue rose 6.6% year on year (1.1% in the same quarter last year) Market Capitalization: $776.7 million Montrose's first quarter performance was shaped by broad-based demand for environmental services across its core segments, with leadership emphasizing organic revenue gains and momentum in high-growth areas. CEO Vijay Manthripragada highlighted that the Measurement and Analysis and Remediation and Reuse segments each contributed to the company's expansion, citing cross-selling efforts and successful execution on large client projects. Management noted that clients, particularly in the private sector, are maintaining their commitment to compliance and sustainability goals despite regulatory and political uncertainty. CFO Allan Dicks further pointed to operational efficiencies and normalization of segment margins as factors supporting higher adjusted EBITDA, reflecting a consistent focus on both top-line growth and profitability. Looking ahead, Montrose's outlook is anchored by expectations of continued organic growth, margin improvement, and resilience against regulatory volatility. Manthripragada stated that emerging state-level environmental policies and ongoing federal activity around PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) regulation are expected to fuel demand, while the company's proprietary PFAS treatment technology positions it well for future projects. Management also pointed to limited exposure to federal spending and minimal anticipated impact from tariffs or macroeconomic shifts, reinforcing confidence in the company's guidance. As Manthripragada explained, 'We are well on track for high single-digit organic revenue growth, and we continue to enhance EBITDA margins, which is evident from our raised EBITDA guidance.' Montrose's leadership attributed the quarter's performance to increased demand in key service areas, client stability amid regulatory changes, and strategic execution on cross-segment opportunities. Measurement and Analysis strength: The Measurement and Analysis segment saw robust demand across both laboratory and field services, with management crediting sustained client requirements for compliance and risk mitigation. Manthripragada explained that broad-based demand, rather than a single driver, propelled the segment's performance, and higher-margin business lines contributed to improved segment profitability. PFAS-related services growth: The company recorded its fifth consecutive quarter of growth in PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) services, which are used to address emerging contaminants in water, air, and soil. Management cited recent federal policy actions as reinforcing long-term demand, and noted that Montrose's proprietary treatment solutions can be adapted to evolving regulatory thresholds. Remediation and Reuse momentum: Revenue in the Remediation and Reuse segment increased, benefiting from organic growth in treatment technologies and support from recent acquisitions. CFO Allan Dicks highlighted that margins in this segment are expected to improve throughout the year as business mix and project timing normalize. Segment margin normalization: Management reported that segment margins are converging toward stated long-term targets through process optimization, automation, and leveraging existing infrastructure. These efforts have contributed to improved operating efficiency and are expected to drive further margin expansion in 2025. Minimal tariff and macroeconomic impact: The company does not expect tariffs or broader macroeconomic conditions to meaningfully affect margins or demand, given the essential nature of its services and the long-term planning cycles of its primarily private sector clients. Montrose's exposure to federal spending is limited, further reducing risk from potential regulatory or budgetary shifts. Montrose's forward outlook is underpinned by consistent demand for environmental compliance solutions, state and federal regulatory developments, and ongoing operational improvements. State-level regulatory drivers: Management believes that increasing influence and activity by U.S. state governments in environmental policy will create new opportunities, particularly for PFAS remediation and water contamination projects. States are expected to play a larger role in setting and enforcing standards, supporting recurring demand for Montrose's services. Margin expansion initiatives: The company is pursuing margin improvement through process automation, operating leverage, and aligning segment-level profitability with long-term targets. The Remediation and Reuse and Measurement and Analysis segments are expected to be the primary contributors to adjusted EBITDA margin gains in 2025. Capital allocation and balance sheet priorities: After completing the redemption of preferred stock, management expects leverage to remain below its long-term target and is prepared to resume strategic M&A when conditions are right. The new stock repurchase program is positioned as an additional tool for shareholder returns, but growth investments and balance sheet optimization remain priorities. In the coming quarters, our team will be monitoring (1) the pace of state-level regulatory developments, especially regarding PFAS standards and remediation projects; (2) progress on operating margin expansion in the Remediation and Reuse and Measurement and Analysis segments; and (3) execution of the capital allocation strategy, including the completion of preferred stock redemptions and balance sheet simplification. Performance in these areas will be key indicators of sustained growth and profitability. Montrose currently trades at a forward EV-to-EBITDA ratio of 8.9×. Should you double down or take your chips? Find out in our full research report (it's free). The market surged in 2024 and reached record highs after Donald Trump's presidential victory in November, but questions about new economic policies are adding much uncertainty for 2025.

Kraken Robotics Reports Q1 2025 Financial Results and Reiterates 2025 Guidance
ST. JOHN'S, Newfoundland and Labrador, May 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kraken Robotics Inc. (TSX-V: PNG, OTCQB: KRKNF) ("Kraken" or the "Company"), announced it has filed its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 ('Q1 2025'). Please refer to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis ('MD&A') for quarter ended March 31, 2025, filed on for more information. Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are denominated in Canadian dollars. Q1 2025 Financial Highlights Consolidated revenue in Q1 2025 decreased 23% to $16.1 million, compared to $20.9 in the prior year. The decrease was driven by a year-over-year decline in Product revenue. Product revenue in the quarter decreased 42% to $9.2 million, compared to $15.8 million in the prior year. While the quarter saw significant growth in our SeaPower™ subsea battery business, our sonar related revenue declined as the acquisition part of the Canadian Navy system integration project nears completion. As in the past, quarterly revenue can fluctuate significantly due to the timing of product orders and shipments. Service revenue in the quarter increased 38% to $7.0 million compared to the prior year due to the continued demand for Sub-Bottom Imager™ and Acoustic Corer™ services. Just after the quarter ended, we completed the acquisition of subsea LiDAR services company, 3D at Depth. Combined with the recent introduction of our KATFISH subsea survey platform into the commercial offshore service market, we have a growing complement of solutions to offer our expanding Services customer base. Gross profit in the quarter increased 8% to $10.1 million, compared to $9.3 million in the prior year, implying a gross margin of 62.7% compared to 44.8%. Gross margin percentage was impacted by several one time items in the quarter. Future quarters are expected to be reflective of our historic gross profit margins. Adjusted EBITDA1 for the quarter decreased 32% to $2.8 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA1 of $4.1 million in the comparable quarter, implying an adjusted EBITDA1 margin of 17.3% compared to 19.6% in the comparable year. Total assets were $178.8 million on March 31, 2025, compared to $73.5 million on March 31, 2024. Cash at the end of the quarter totaled $58.3 million, compared to $1.5 million in the prior year, while working capital totaled $94.6 million, compared to $6.5 million in the prior year. Capital expenditures/intangible assets purchased were $2.7 million in the quarter, compared to $0.8 million in the comparable quarter. The increase is related to our new battery facility in Canada as well as growth in internal assets to drive service revenue growth. Net income for the quarter was $0.2 million compared to a profit of $2.2 million in the comparable quarter. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.00 compared to $0.01 in the prior year. Management Comments 'Similar to previous years, we expect financial results to improve throughout the year and expect strong top and bottom-line growth in 2025, as indicated by our 2025 financial guidance given a month ago. Our largest market of naval defense has strong macro fundamentals with growth being seen across the globe as navies modernize for the future and increasingly adopt uncrewed platforms. In providing sensor and power solutions to the major suppliers of UUVs, we benefit from this growing adoption. For our towed synthetic aperture sonar sensor platform, KATFISH, we have a busy year of customer demonstrations in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. Historically, successful demonstrations have driven future contract wins. The level of defense RFP activity expected from 2025 to 2027 is at levels the industry has not seen in many decades and is driving our optimism on this segment of our business. With new manufacturing capacity in Canada coming online at the end of this year and a growing presence in the US both organically and through our acquisition of 3D at Depth, we are well positioned to meet customer needs in the offshore energy and naval defense markets,' said Kraken President and CEO Greg Reid. Recent Company Highlights Since the end of Q4, Kraken Robotics announced: Several meaningful new orders, including almost $45 million in subsea battery orders and $3 million in orders for Kraken SAS. Plans to open a new battery production facility in Nova Scotia to meet increasing defense market demand. The acquisition of subsea LiDAR company 3D at Depth with offices in Texas, Colorado, and the UK. The introduction of KATFISH synthetic aperture sonar service for the global offshore energy market. 2025 Financial Guidance Annual financial guidance remains unchanged from the guidance provided on April 28, 2025. In 2025, we expect revenue between $120 million and $135 million and Adjusted EBITDA1 margin in the $26 million to $34 million range. The midpoint of guidance represents 40% revenue growth and 45% Adjusted EBITDA growth. Capital expenditures in 2025 are expected to range from $13 million to $17 million with approximately $10 million of this spending related to a new subsea power manufacturing facility that is expected to be operational in Nova Scotia near the end of 2025. Consistent with prior years, revenue is expected to be more weighted toward the second half of calendar year 2025.

This data is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

MARWEST APARTMENT REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST ANNOUNCES Q1 2025 RESULTS
/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/ WINNIPEG, MB, May 22, 2025 /CNW/ – Marwest Apartment Real Estate Investment Trust (the 'REIT') (TSXV: reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This press release should be read in conjunction with the REIT's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis ('Q1 2025 MD&A') for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which are available on the REIT's website at and at 'We are pleased with the ongoing positive operating results we achieved throughout the quarter. Same Property Revenue from Investment Properties increased by 3.73% and average rental rates per suite increased by 4.79%, both over Q1 2024. Throughout 2025 we will see the impact of the Manitoba government removing a property tax rebate that had been in place since 2021.

Outlook Management is focused on growing the portfolio and Unitholder value through increasing rental rates where the market allows, future acquisition opportunities that will increase the overall size and performance of the REIT, as well as maintaining a manageable debt structure. The current debt structure of the REIT is all at fixed rates with an average remaining mortgage term of over five years. The majority of the REIT's debt is CMHC insured. Management believes the organic growth in NAV due to paydown of debt over the mortgage terms is a positive outcome of the higher leveraged position as well as lowering the REIT's debt to GBV ratio and thereby increasing the NAV per Unit over time. Management anticipates that demand for rental housing will remain due to the affordability gap in rental vs. home ownership and the potential tariffs with the United States. As interest rates remain at elevated levels and costs of construction remain relatively high, the increased costs of home ownership maintains the affordability gap. Any increase in the portfolio's operating costs due to inflation may be offset by increases in rental rates, where the market allows, as 56 percent of the portfolio at March 31, 2025 is not under rent control or restrictive financing agreements. About Marwest Apartment Real Estate Investment Trust The REIT is an unincorporated open-ended trust governed by the laws of the Province of Manitoba. The REIT was formed to provide holders of Units with the opportunity to invest in the Canadian multi-family rental sector through the ownership of high-quality income-producing properties, with an initial focus on stable markets throughout Western Canada.

A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward‐looking statements, including the risks described in the REIT's latest annual information form and management's discussion and analysis. The payment of cash distributions, and the amount of such cash distributions, will be dependent upon a number of factors, including but not limited to the financial performance, financial condition and financial requirements of the REIT.

Notice with respect to Non-IFRS Measures Disclosure The REIT's financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS. In addition to IFRS measures, this news release and the REIT's Q1 2025 MD&A disclose certain non-IFRS financial measures that are commonly used by Canadian real estate investment trusts as an indicator of performance. Non-IFRS measures and ratios include the following: Net Operating Income ('NOI') The Trust calculates net operating income as revenue less property operating expenses such as utilities, repairs and maintenance and realty taxes. Charges for interest or other expenses not specific to the day‑to‑day operations of the Trust's properties are not included. The Trust regards NOI as an important measure of the income generated by income-producing properties and is used by management in evaluating the performance of the Trust's properties. NOI is also a key input in determining the value of the Trust's properties. For reconciliation to IFRS measures, refer to 'Financial Operations and Results' in the REIT's Q1 2025 MD&A Funds from Operations ('FFO') The Trust calculates FFO substantially in accordance with the guidelines set out in the white paper titled 'White Paper on Funds from Operations & Adjusted Funds from Operations for IFRS' by the Real Property Association of Canada ('REALpac') as revised in January 2022. FFO is defined as IFRS consolidated net income adjusted for items such as unrealized changes in the fair value of the investment properties, effects of puttable instruments classified as financial liabilities and changes in fair value of financial instruments and derivatives. FFO should not be construed as an alternative to net income or cash flows provided by or used in operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS. The Trust regards FFO as a key measure of operating performance. For reconciliation to IFRS measures, refer to 'Financial Operations and Results' in the REIT's Q1 2025 MD&A Adjusted Funds from Operations ('AFFO') The Trust calculates AFFO substantially in accordance with the guidelines set out in the white paper titled 'White Paper on Funds from Operations & Adjusted Funds from Operations for IFRS' by REALpac as revised in January 2022. AFFO is defined as FFO adjusted for items such as maintenance capital expenditures and straight‑line rental revenue differences. AFFO should not be construed as an alternative to net income or cash flows provided by or used in operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS. The Trust regards AFFO as a key measure of operating performance. The Trust also uses AFFO in assessing its capacity to make distributions. For reconciliation to IFRS measures, refer to 'Financial Operations and Results' in the REIT's Q1 2025 MD&A The following other non‑IFRS measures are defined as follows: 'FFO per unit' is calculated as FFO divided by the weighted average number of Trust Units and Exchangeable Units of the Partnership outstanding over the period. 'AFFO per unit' is calculated as AFFO divided by the weighted average number of Trust Units and Exchangeable Units of the Partnership outstanding over the period. 'AFFO Payout Ratio' is the proportion of the total distributions on Trust Units and Exchangeable Units of the Partnership to AFFO per Unit. 'Net Asset Value' is calculated as the sum of unitholders' equity and Exchangeable Units 'Net Asset Value per Unit' or 'NAV per Unit' is calculated as the sum of unitholders' equity and Exchangeable Units divided by the sum of Trust Units, Exchangeable Units and Deferred Units outstanding at the end of the period. 'Debt‑to‑Gross Book Value ratio' is calculated by dividing total interest‑bearing debt consisting of mortgages by total assets and is used as the REIT's primary measure of its leverage. 'Debt Service Coverage ratio' is the ratio of NOI to total debt service consisting of interest expenses recorded as finance costs and principal payments on mortgages. 'Stabilized net operating income' is the estimated 12-month net operating income that a property could generate at full occupancy, less a vacancy rate and stable operating expenses. 'Average occupancy rate' is defined as the ratio of occupied suites to the total suites in the portfolio for the period. 'Same Property NOI' is defined as Net Operating Income from properties owned by the REIT throughout comparative periods, which removes the impact of situations that result in the comparative period to be less meaningful, such as acquisitions, or properties going through a lease-up period. Management believes that these measures are helpful to investors because, while not necessarily calculated comparably among issuers, they are widely recognized measures of the REIT's performance and tend to provide a relevant basis for comparison among real estate entities. These non-IFRS financial measures are not defined under IFRS and are not intended to represent financial performance, financial position or cash flows for the period and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. The above measures are not standardized under the financial reporting framework used to prepare the financial statements of the REIT. Readers should be further cautioned that the above measures as calculated by the REIT may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Inovalis Real Estate Investment Trust Announces the Financial Results for Q1 2025
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Inovalis Real Estate Investment Trust (the 'REIT') (TSX: today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for Q1 2025 are available on the REIT's website at and at All amounts except rental rates, square footage and per unit amounts are presented in thousands of Canadian dollars or Euros, or as otherwise stated. Stephane Amine, CEO and President of the REIT, commented, ' The recent Sablière sale, completed at a price near our market cap, highlights the value embedded in our portfolio and our disciplined execution. As we pursue further dispositions, we are strategically reshaping the portfolio in response to enduring changes in how and where people work. ' Net Rental Income For the portfolio that includes assets owned entirely by the REIT ("IP Portfolio"), Net Rental Income ('NRI') for Q1 2025 decreased to $155 (€103), compared to the $912 (€623) NRI for Q1 2024, notably caused by the vacancies at the Bad Homburg and the Metropolitain properties. In Q1 2025, Net Rental Income, adjusted for IFRIC 21 1 for the portfolio that includes the REIT's proportionate share in joint ventures ("Total Portfolio"), was $5,000 (€3,310), compared to $6,548 (€4,473) for Q1 2024, a decrease related to the vacancies at Bad Homburg and Metropolitain, added to the non-recurring $1,058 indemnity obtained on the Duisburg property related to the early departure of a tenant in Q1 2024. Leasing Operations As of March 31, 2025, the occupancy rate of the REIT's IP Portfolio was 47.1% and the occupancy rate of the REIT's Total Portfolio was 58.9%. Strategic vacancies are being maintained in the Arcueil and Baldi properties in support of planned redevelopment or disposition initiatives as outlined in the Asset Recycling Plan. Excluding properties designated for asset recycling, the Total Portfolio occupancy rate was 81.3%. During the first quarter of 2025, a lease was reduced by 60% and extended for 3 years at the Trio property. Momentum from increased tenant interest in the second half of 2024 carried into early 2025, resulting in executed leases and ongoing positive negotiations—particularly in the vacancies at the Neu-Isenburg property. To support leasing activity, management continues to collaborate with on-site brokers and is selectively evaluating tenant improvement allowances as a means to enhance the competitiveness of key assets and optimize rental income. Asset Recycling Plan Subsequent to quarter-end, on April 30, 2025, the REIT completed the sale of the Sablière property, located in downtown Paris, for €18,200 ($28,323), as part of its Asset Recycling Plan. This transaction aligns with the REIT's strategic objectives of repositioning the portfolio and strengthening financial flexibility. Net proceeds of approximately $13 million (€8.4 million) will be allocated toward debt reduction and reinvestment in value-enhancing initiatives across the portfolio. An exchange contract confirming the sale of 87.5% of the Arcueil property for €37,540 ($58,420) was announced in January 2025 with closing expected in the second half of 2026. The long closing is required to satisfy the administrative, building permit and financing conditions. The remaining 12.5% of the Arcueil office property is being marketed for a new office tenant. The Baldi property, with a fair value of $27,534 (€17,400), is currently being marketed for sale under the REIT's Asset Recycling Plan. The REIT is currently evaluating offers that are not subject to building permit conditions, which may result in a disposition prior to year-end 2025. As the REIT generates revenue from the sale of properties, the best use of the proceeds will be considered, including the options to pay down debt, invest capital to support leasing or redevelopment opportunities. Capital Market Considerations Since the end of 2023, net asset values for the REITs Total Portfolio have been significantly pressured, primarily due to geopolitical tensions, high inflation, high interest rates and energy costs. The decrease in net asset values largely impacted Unitholders' equity that was $192,775 (€123,875) at March 31, 2025. The book value per Unit at March 31, 2025 was $5.81/Unit and $5.75/Unit on a fully-diluted basis, using the weighted average number of units of the REIT (the 'Units') for the period. The closing price of a Unit on the TSX at March 31, 2025 was $0.90/Unit. The REIT has addressed the volatile risks in the current capital markets by selling certain properties, implementing short term leasing initiatives for properties in the REIT's Asset Recycling Plan, maintaining a manageable debt-to-gross-book value ratio, currently 51.3% of the IP Portfolio (58.8% on the Total Portfolio). Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds From Operations FFO per Unit of $0.01 and AFFO 1 per Unit of $0.02 were reported for Q1 2025, in line with our projection given the occupancy rate and increased cost of debt. Refer to the 'Financing Activity' section below for details of the impact of finance costs on FFO and AFFO. Financing Activity The REIT is financed almost exclusively with asset-level, non-recourse financing with an average term to maturity of 2.4 years for the Total Portfolio (2.7 years for the IP Portfolio). For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the weighted average interest rate across the Total Portfolio declined to 3.43%, from 4.12% as at December 31, 2024, reflecting the downward trend in EURIBOR. As at March 31, 2025, 72% of the REIT's Total Portfolio debt was subject to variable interest rates, primarily associated with short-term financing on properties currently being marketed for sale. On March 19, 2025, HCOB, the senior lender for the Trio property, approved a six month extension of the loan facility to September 2025, subject to a partial repayment of $8,559 that should be completed on May 15, 2025. This repayment will satisfy a waiver condition related to a second-ranking mortgage held by HCOB on the Bad Homburg property. The Trio loan repayment is funded by a €5,600 ($8,715) mezzanine loan on the Bad Homburg property, signed on April 16, 2025. The 18-month mezzanine loan bears annual interest at 12% (6% paid quarterly and 6% at maturity). Management's objective is to eventually refinance this loan with a conventional financing, depending on progress in the leasing strategy. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Integration of ESG objectives and strategies into the REIT's business reflects the growing importance of these factors among many of our key stakeholders. The REIT is working to improve its long-term environmental performance, and also to invest in "human capital" for the implementation and monitoring of all ESG initiatives. FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION Certain statements contained, or contained in documents incorporated by reference, may constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of securities laws. Forward-looking information may relate to the REIT's future outlook and anticipated events or results and may include statements regarding the future financial position, business strategy, budgets, occupancy rates, rental rates, productivity, projected costs, capital investments, development and development opportunities, financial results, taxes, plans and objectives of or involving the REIT. Particularly, statements regarding the REIT's future results, performance, achievements, prospects, costs, opportunities, and financial outlook, including those relating to the sale of the Arcueil property, acquisition 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', 'should', 'expect', 'plan', 'anticipate', 'believe', 'intend', 'estimate', 'predict', 'potential', '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. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking information are reasonable, no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct, and since forward-looking information inherently involves risks and uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on such information. Certain material factors or assumptions are applied in making forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. The estimates and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect, include, but are not limited to, the various assumptions set forth in this press release as well as the following: The REIT cautions that this list of assumptions is not exhaustive. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based upon assumptions that management believes are reasonable based on information currently available to management, there can be no assurance that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, the REIT cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these statements, as forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not, or the times at or by which, such performance or results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: the REIT's ability to execute its growth and capital deployment strategies; the impact of changing conditions in the European office market; the marketability and value of the REIT's portfolio; changes in the attitudes, financial condition and demand in the REIT's demographic markets; fluctuation in interest rates and volatility in financial markets; the geopolitical conflict around the world on the REIT's business, operations and financial results; general economic conditions, including any continuation or intensification of the current economic conditions; developments and changes in applicable laws and regulations; and such other factors discussed under ''Risk and Uncertainties'' in the MD&A dated September 30, 2024 ('the MD&A'). If any risks or uncertainties with respect to the above materialize, or if the opinions, estimates or assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results or future events might vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. The opinions, estimates or assumptions referred to above and described in greater detail under ''Risks and Uncertainties'' in the MD&A should be considered carefully by readers. Although management has attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other risk factors not presently known or that management believes are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future. Certain statements included in press release may be considered a ''financial outlook'' for purposes of applicable Canadian securities laws, and as such, the financial outlook may not be appropriate for purposes other than this press release. All forward-looking statements are based only on information currently available to the REIT and are made as of the date of this press release. Except as expressly required by applicable Canadian securities law, the REIT assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements in this press release are qualified by these cautionary statements. Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Measures There are financial measures included in this MD&A that do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS. These measures include Funds from Operations, Adjusted Funds from Operations, and other measures presented on a proportionate share basis. These measures have been derived from the REIT's financial statements and applied on a consistent basis as appropriate. Management includes these measures as they represent key performance indicators to management, and it believes certain investors use these measures as a means of assessing relative financial performance. These measures, as computed by the REIT, may differ from similar computations as reported by other entities and, accordingly, may not be comparable to other such entities. These measures should not be considered in isolation or used in substitute for other measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. USE OF OPERATING METRICS The REIT uses certain operating metrics to monitor and measure the operational performance of its portfolio. Operating metrics in this press release include GLA, committed occupancy, Weighted Average Lease Term and average term to maturity. Certain of these operating metrics, may constitute supplementary financial measures as defined in National Instrument 52-112 - Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure. These supplementary measures are not derived from directly comparable measures contained in the REIT's financial statements but may be used by management and disclosed on a periodic basis to depict the historical or future expected financial performance, financial position or cash flow of the REIT. ' Adjusted Funds From Operations ' or ' AFFO ' is a meaningful supplemental measure that can be used to determine the REIT's ability to service debt, fund expansion capital expenditures, fund property development, and provide distributions to Unitholders after considering costs associated with sustaining operating earnings. AFFO calculations are reconciled to net income, which is the most directly comparable IFRS measure. AFFO should not be construed as an alternative to net income or cash flow generated from operating activities, determined in accordance with IFRS. AFFO is defined as FFO subject to certain adjustments, including adjustments for: (i) the non-cash effect of straight-line rents, (ii) the cash effect of the rental guarantee received, (iii) amortization of fair value adjustment on assumed debt, (iv) capital expenditures, excluding those funded by a dedicated cash reserve or capex financing, and (v) amortization of transaction costs on mortgage loans. ' Adjusted Funds From Operations / Unit ' or ' AFFO / Unit ' is AFFO divided by the issued and outstanding Units, plus Exchangeable Securities (fully diluted basis). ' AFFO Payout Ratio ' is the value of declared distributions on Units and Exchangeable Securities, divided by AFFO. ' Average term to maturity ' refers to the average number of years remaining in the lease term. ' Book value per Unit ' refers to the REIT's total equity divided by the Weighted Average number of Units and Exchangeable Securities (on a fully diluted basis). 'Debt-service covenant ratio calculation' or 'DSCR' refers to the rental income divided by the debt service, including interest and amortization. ' Debt-to-Gross-Book Value ' refers to the REIT's apportioned amount of indebtedness respectively in the IP Portfolio and the Total Portfolio. Indebtedness on an IP and Total Portfolio basis is calculated as the sum of (i) lease liabilities, (ii) mortgage loans, (iii) other long-term liabilities, and (iv) deferred tax liabilities. Indebtedness does not include certain liabilities as is the case for the Exchangeable Securities and at the joint venture level for the contribution from the REIT and its partners. ' Exchangeable Securities ' means the exchangeable securities issued by CanCorpEurope, in the form of interest bearing notes, non-interest bearing notes and variable share capital. ' Fully diluted basis ' refers to a nominal value divided by the issued and outstanding Units, plus Exchangeable Securities. ' Funds From Operations ' or ' FFO' follows the definition prescribed by the Real Estate Property Association of Canada publication on Funds From Operations & Adjusted Funds From Operations, dated January 2023 with one exception. Management considers FFO to be a meaningful supplemental measure that can be used to determine the REIT's ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, and provide distributions to Unitholders. As an exception, considering the significant amount of cash held in Euros in Canada and the volatility of the Canadian dollar against the Euro, the unrealized gain (loss) recognized for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, have been excluded from the FFO calculation. Finally, non-recurring administrative expenses relating to items that are not reasonably likely to occur within two years prior to, or following the disclosure, have also been excluded from FFO. FFO is reconciled to net income, which is the most directly comparable IFRS measure. FFO should not be construed as an alternative to net income or cash flow generated from operating activities, determined in accordance with IFRS. FFO for the REIT is defined as net income in accordance with IFRS, subject to certain adjustments including adjustments for: (i) acquisition, eviction and disposal costs (if any), (ii) net change in fair value of investment properties, (iii) net change in fair value of derivative financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss, (iv) net changes in fair value of Exchangeable Securities, (v) finance costs related to distribution on Exchangeable Securities, (vi) adjustment for property taxes accounted for under IFRIC 21 (if any), (vii) loss on exercise of lease option (if any), (viii) adjustment for foreign exchange gains or losses on monetary items not forming part of an investment in a foreign operation (if any), (ix) gain or loss on disposal of investment properties or an interest in a subsidiary (if any), (x) finance income earned from loans to joint ventures (if any), (xi) loss on extinguishment of loans (if any), (xii) deferred taxes, (xiii) non-controlling interest, (xiv) goodwill / bargain purchase gains upon acquisition, and (xv) income taxes on sale of investment properties and provision for tax reassessment. Exchangeable Securities are recorded as liabilities. Exchangeable Securities are recorded at fair value through profit and loss in accordance with IFRS. However, both are considered as equity for the purposes of calculating FFO and AFFO, as they are economically equivalent to the REIT's Units, with the same features and distribution rights, that are economically equivalent to the distribution received by Unitholders. ' Funds From Operations / Unit ' or ' FFO / Unit ' is FFO divided by the issued and outstanding Units, plus Exchangeable Securities (fully diluted basis). ' Gross book value ' refers to the total consolidated assets for the IP Portfolio and Total Portfolio. 'Interest Coverage Ratio' or 'ICR' covenant refers to a financial metric used to assess a REIT's ability to meet its interest obligations on outstanding debt. It indicates how many times the operating profit can cover the REIT's interest expenses over a given period. ' Investments in Joint Ventures ' refers to the REIT's proportionate share of the financial position and results of operation of its investment in joint ventures, which are accounted for using the equity method under IFRS in the consolidated financial statements, are presented below using the proportionate consolidation method at the REIT's ownership percentage of the related investment. Management views this method as relevant in demonstrating the REIT's ability to manage the underlying economics of the related investments, including the financial performance and the extent to which the underlying assets are leveraged, which is an important component of risk management. For the purpose of the proportionate consolidation, the initial investment of both partners in the joint ventures were considered as being equity investments as opposed to a combination of equity and loans and accordingly, the related proportionate consolidation balance sheet items were eliminated as well as the associated finance income and finance costs. As the loans to the joint ventures were considered equity for proportionate consolidation purposes, any impairment recorded on the loans in accordance with IFRS 9 has been reversed for MD&A purposes. As such, any impairment recorded for IFRS purposes results in a difference in equity when reconciling IFRS and proportionate consolidation reporting. ' Investment Properties Portfolio ' or ' IP Portfolio ' refers to the eight wholly owned properties of the REIT. ' Net Rental Income Adjusted for IFRIC 21 ' refers to Net Rental Income excluding property taxes recorded under IFRIC 21 rules. ' Net Rental Income ' or 'NRI' refers to the rental income plus operating cost recoveries income plus other property revenue, less property operating costs and other costs. ' Total Portfolio ' refers to the eight properties referred to as the IP Portfolio and the five properties of the REIT held in joint-ownership with other parties. 'Weighted average lease term' or 'WALT ' is a metric used to measure a property portfolio's risk of vacancy and refers to the average period in which all leases in a property or portfolio will expire. It is calculated as the sum of the percentages of rentable area multiplied by the number of years in each remaining lease term. ' Weighted Average number of Units ' refers to the mean of periodic values in the number of issued and outstanding Units over a specific reporting period. The reconciliation of FFO and AFFO for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, based on proportionate consolidation figures including REIT's interest in joint ventures is as follows: Overview – GAAP and Non-GAAP The REIT has identified specific key performance indicators to measure the progress of its long-term objectives.
