- Retail increased by 1.5%;
- Industrial increased by 6.1%; and
- Mixed-Use & Residential increased by 15.3% primarily due to a property tax incentive recognized in the current quarter.
Completed $95.2 million of transactions in the quarter, including the acquisition of one retail property, as well as the opportunistic disposition of three retail properties and a 50% interest in a retail land parcel.
Transferred $13.4 million of properties under development to income producing status, delivering approximately 97,600 square feet of new commercial GLA (including 72,600 square feet associated with a ground lease) on a proportionate share basis⁽²⁾through retail intensifications.

Issuance of ESG Report

On April 23, 2025, the Trust issued its 2024 Environmental, Social and Governance Report, available on the Trust’s website at www.choicereit.ca/sustainability.

⁽¹⁾ Exchangeable Units are required to be classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss under GAAP. They are recorded at their fair value based on the market trading price of the Trust Units, which results in a negative impact to the financial results when the Trust Unit price rises and a positive impact when the Trust Unit price declines.

⁽²⁾ Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Additional Financial Information section.

⁽³⁾ Long-term renewal spread is calculated as the difference between the average rate during the renewal term and the expiring rental rate.

Quarterly Results

Choice Properties reported a net loss of $96.2 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to net income of $142.3 million in the same prior year period. The decrease of $238.5 million was primarily due to changes in certain non-cash adjustments to fair value including:

a $304.8 million unfavourable change in the adjustment to fair value of the Trust’s Exchangeable Units due to the increase in the Trust’s unit price; partially offset by
a $31.3 million favourable change in the adjustment to fair value of investment properties; and
a $20.7 million favourable change in the adjustment to fair value of the investment in real estate securities of Allied, driven by the change in Allied’s unit price in the quarter.

Quarterly Results

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Same-Asset NOI, Cash Basis⁽²⁾ increased by $7.2 million or 2.9%, compared to the same prior year period primarily due to increased revenue from higher rental rates on renewals, new leasing and contractual rent steps mainly in the industrial and retail portfolios. Further contributing to the increase was a property tax incentive recognized in the mixed-use and residential portfolio.

FFO⁽²⁾ increased by $3.8 million or 1.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period primarily due to an increase in net operating income and higher fee income. The increase was partially offset by higher net interest expense, lower lease surrender revenue and income from the sale of residential inventory recognized in the prior year.

Outlook

We are focused on capital preservation, delivering stable and growing cash flows and net asset value appreciation. Our high-quality portfolio is primarily leased to necessity-based tenants and logistics providers, who are less sensitive to economic volatility and therefore provide stability to our overall portfolio. We will continue to advance our development program, with a focus on commercial developments, which provides us with the best opportunity to add high-quality real estate to our portfolio at a reasonable cost and drive net asset value appreciation over time.

We are confident that our business model, stable tenant base, strong balance sheet and disciplined approach to financial management will continue to benefit us. In 2025, Choice Properties is targeting:

Stable occupancy across the portfolio, resulting in approximately 2%-3% year-over-year growth in Same-Asset NOI, Cash Basis;
Annual FFO per unit diluted in a range of $1.05 to $1.06, reflecting approximately 2%-3% year-over-year growth; and
Strong leverage metrics, targeting Adjusted Debt to EBITDAFV below 7.5x.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Additional Financial Information

In addition to using performance measures determined in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS" or "GAAP"), Choice Properties also measures its performance using certain non-GAAP measures, and provides these measures in this news release so that investors may do the same. Such measures and related per-unit amounts are not defined by IFRS and therefore should not be construed as alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS. Furthermore, the supplemental measures used by management may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other real estate investment trusts or enterprises. The non-GAAP measures included in this news release are defined and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure below. Choice Properties believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors in measuring the financial performance and financial condition of the Trust for the reasons outlined below.

Non-GAAP Measure	Description
Proportionate Share	Represents financial information adjusted to reflect the Trust’s equity accounted joint ventures and financial real estate assets and its share of net income (loss) from equity accounted joint ventures and financial real estate assets on a proportionately consolidated basis at the Trust’s ownership percentage of the related investment. Management views this method as relevant in demonstrating the Trust's ability to manage the underlying economics of the related investments, including the financial performance and cash flows and the extent to which the underlying assets are leveraged, which is an important component of risk management.
Net Operating Income ("NOI"), Accounting Basis	Defined as property rental revenue including straight-line rental revenue, reimbursed contract revenue and lease surrender revenue, less direct property operating expenses and realty taxes, and excludes certain expenses such as interest expense and indirect operating expenses in order to provide results that reflect a property’s operations before consideration of how it is financed or the costs of operating the entity in which it is held. Management believes that NOI is an important measure of operating performance for the Trust’s commercial real estate assets that is used by real estate industry analysts, investors and management, while also being a key input in determining the fair value of the Choice Properties portfolio.
NOI, Cash Basis	Defined as property rental revenue and reimbursed contract revenue, excluding straight-line rental revenue and lease surrender revenue, less direct property operating expenses and realty taxes, and excludes certain expenses such as interest expense and indirect operating expenses in order to provide results that reflect a property’s operations before consideration of how it is financed or the costs of operating the entity in which it is held. Management believes NOI, Cash Basis is a useful measure in understanding period-over-period changes in income from operations due to occupancy, rental rates, operating costs and realty taxes.
Same-Asset NOI, Cash Basis and Same-Asset NOI, Accounting Basis	Same-Asset NOI is used to evaluate the period-over-period performance of those commercial properties and stabilized residential properties, owned and operated by Choice Properties since January 1, 2024, inclusive. NOI from properties that have been (i) purchased, (ii) disposed, (iii) subject to significant change as a result of new development, redevelopment, expansion, or demolition, or (iv) residential properties not yet stabilized (collectively, "Transactions") are excluded from the determination of same-asset NOI. Same-Asset NOI, Cash Basis, is useful in evaluating the realization of contractual rental rate changes embedded in lease agreements and/or the expiry of rent-free periods, while also being a useful measure in understanding period-over-period changes in NOI due to occupancy, rental rates, operating costs and realty taxes, before considering the changes in NOI that can be attributed to the Transactions and development activities.
Funds from Operations ("FFO")	Calculated in accordance with the Real Property Association of Canada’s ("REALpac") Funds From Operations (FFO) & Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) for IFRS issued in January 2022. Management considers FFO to be a useful measure of operating performance as it adjusts for items included in net income (or loss) that do not arise from operating activities or do not necessarily provide an accurate depiction of the Trust’s past or recurring performance, such as adjustments to fair value of Exchangeable Units, investment properties, investment in real estate securities, and unit-based compensation. From time to time, the Trust may enter into transactions that materially impact the calculation and are eliminated from the calculation for management’s review purposes. Management uses and believes that FFO is a useful measure of the Trust’s performance that, when compared period over period, reflects the impact on operations of trends in occupancy levels, rental rates, operating costs and realty taxes, acquisition activities and interest costs.
Adjusted Funds from Operations("AFFO")	Calculated in accordance with REALpac’s Funds From Operations (FFO) & Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) for IFRS issued in January 2022. Management considers AFFO to be a useful measure of operating performance as it further adjusts FFO for capital expenditures that sustain income producing properties and eliminates the impact of straight-line rent. AFFO is impacted by the seasonality inherent in the timing of executing property capital projects. In calculating AFFO, FFO is adjusted to exclude straight-line rent, and deduct costs incurred relating to internal leasing activities and property capital projects. Working capital changes, viewed as short-term cash requirements or surpluses are deemed financing activities pursuant to the methodology and are not considered when calculating AFFO. Capital expenditures which are not deducted in the calculation of AFFO comprise those which generate a new investment stream, such as constructing a new retail pad during property expansion or intensification, development activities or acquisition activities. Accordingly, AFFO differs from FFO in that AFFO excludes from its definition certain non-cash revenues and expenses recognized under GAAP, such as straight-line rent, but also includes capital and leasing costs incurred during the period which are capitalized for GAAP purposes. From time to time, the Trust may enter into transactions that materially impact the calculation and are eliminated from the calculation for management’s review purposes.
AFFO Payout Ratio	AFFO payout ratio is a supplementary measure used by Management to assess the sustainability of the Trust's distribution payments. The ratio is calculated using cash distributions declared divided by AFFO.
Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and Fair Value ("EBITDAFV")	Defined as net income (loss) attributable to Unitholders, reversing, where applicable, income taxes, interest expense, amortization expense, depreciation expense, adjustments to fair value and other adjustments as allowed in the Trust Indentures, as supplemented. Management believes EBITDAFV is useful in assessing the Trust’s ability to service its debt, finance capital expenditures and provide distributions to its Unitholders.
Total Adjusted Debt	Defined as variable rate debt (construction loans, mortgages, and credit facility) and fixed rate debt (senior unsecured debentures, construction loans and mortgages), as measured on a proportionate share basis⁽¹⁾, and does not include the Exchangeable Units which are included as part of unit equity on account of the Exchangeable Units being economically equivalent and receiving equal distributions to the Trust Units. Total Adjusted Debt is also presented on a net basis to include the impact of other finance charges such as debt placement costs and discounts or premiums, and defeasance or other prepayments of debt.
Net Asset Value ("NAV")	NAV is an alternative measurement of equity. It is calculated by summing Unitholder’s Equity and the fair value of the Trust’s Exchangeable Units. Under GAAP, Exchangeable Units are considered debt. The Exchangeable Units are not required to be repaid and the holder of these units has the right to convert them into Units, therefore Management considers the Exchangeable Units to be equivalent to equity. NAV is a useful measure as it reflects Management’s view of the intrinsic value of the Trust. NAV per unit allows Management to determine if the Trust is trading at a discount or premium to its intrinsic value.
Adjusted Debt to EBITDAFV and Adjusted Debt to EBITDAFV, net of cash	Calculated as Total Adjusted Debt divided by EBITDAFV. This ratio is used to assess the financial leverage of Choice Properties, measure its ability to meet financial obligations, and provide a snapshot of its balance sheet strength. Management also presents this ratio with Total Adjusted Debt calculated net of cash and cash equivalents at the measurement date.
