CT REIT | 2026 First Quarter Report
About Us
CT Real Estate Investment Trust (CT REIT) is an unincorporated, closed end real estate investment trust formed to own income producing commercial properties primarily located in Canada. Its portfolio is comprised of over 378 properties totalling 31.7 million square feet of gross leasable area, consisting primarily of net lease retail properties located across Canada.
CT REIT is Canada’s premier net lease real estate investment trust with the principal objective of creating long-term value for unitholders by growing its portfolio of income producing properties and development projects, benefiting from its relationship with Canadian Tire Corporation, its most significant tenant and controlling unitholder. This close association and alignment provides important insights into potential real estate acquisitions and development opportunities that, together with long-term leases with embedded annual rent escalations, serve as a competitive differentiator for CT REIT.
CT REIT is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol CRT.UN.

-
Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Refer to section 9.0 in this MD&A for further information.
This MD&A includes material information as at May 11, 2026. Disclosure contained in this document is current to that date, unless otherwise noted.
-
Quarterly and Annual Comparisons in this MD&A
Unless otherwise indicated, all comparisons of results for Q1 2026 (three months ended March 31, 2026) are against results for Q1 2025 (three months ended March 31, 2025).
-
Currency and Rounding
All amounts in this MD&A are in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per unit, unit, per square foot and square foot amounts or unless otherwise indicated. Rounded numbers are used in this MD&A and, as such, totals may not add up to 100 percent.
-
Key Operating Performance Measures and Specified Financial Measures
The key operating performance measures used by management may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other real estate investment trusts or enterprises. Net income and comprehensive income prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards is also subject to varying degrees of judgment, and some meaningful differences in accounting policies exist between publicly traded entities in Canada. Accordingly, net income and comprehensive income as presented by CT REIT may not be comparable to net income and comprehensive income presented by other real estate investment trusts or enterprises.
-
Review and Approval by the Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees of CT REIT (the “Board”), on the recommendation of its Audit Committee, approved this MD&A for issuance on May 11, 2026.
-
Nature and Formation
CT REIT is an unincorporated, closed-end real estate investment trust established on July 15, 2013 pursuant to a declaration of trust as amended and restated as of October 22, 2013 and as further amended and restated as of April 5, 2020 and as may be further amended from time to time (“Declaration of Trust”). CT REIT commenced operations on October 23, 2013. The principal, registered and head office of CT REIT is located at 2180 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario, M4S 2B9. CTC owned a 68.0% effective interest in CT REIT as at March 31, 2026, consisting of 33,989,508 of the issued and outstanding units of CT REIT (“Units”) and all of the issued and outstanding Class B limited partnership units (“Class B LP Units”) of CT REIT Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”), which are economically equivalent to and exchangeable for Units. The holders of Units and Class B LP Units are collectively referred to as “unitholders”. CTC also owns all of the issued and outstanding Class C limited partnership units (“Class C LP Units”) of the Partnership. The Units are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and are traded under the symbol CRT.UN.
CT REIT has one segment for financial reporting purposes which comprises the ownership and management of primarily net-lease single tenant Retail Properties located across Canada.
-
BUSINESS STRATEGY AND OBJECTIVES
CT REIT owns, manages and develops income-producing commercial properties located in all ten provinces and in two territories across Canada. The REIT’s geographically diversified portfolio is comprised of stand-alone Properties (typically occupied by a Canadian Tire store), multi-tenanted Properties (typically anchored by a Canadian Tire store), Industrial Properties and Development Properties (including Canada Square) with primarily triple-net, long-term leases to investment grade tenants.
The principal objective of CT REIT, as a real estate investment trust investing mainly in net-lease single tenant Retail Properties, is to create unitholder value over the long-term by generating reliable, durable and growing monthly distributions on a tax-efficient basis. To achieve this objective, management is focused on driving net operating income from its existing asset base and expanding the REIT’s portfolio to increase both its Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”) per unit, as well as its net asset value per unit.

Readers are reminded that certain key performance measures may not have standardized meanings under GAAP. For further information on the REIT’s operating measures, non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, refer to section 1.6, section 10.1 and section 10.2.

Year Ended December 31, 2025
Investment properties are measured at fair value, determined using the discounted cash flow method. Under this methodology, discount rates are applied to the projected annual operating cash flows, generally over a minimum term of ten years, and include a terminal value based on a capitalization rate applied to the estimated net operating income (“NOI”) in the terminal year. The Property portfolio is internally valued each quarter with external appraisals performed for a portion of the portfolio on a semi-annual basis. Approximately 80% of the Property portfolio (by dollar value) is appraised externally by independent national real estate appraisal firms over a four-year period.
Included in CT REIT’s Property portfolio are 13 Properties which are fully or partially situated on ground leases with remaining current terms of up to 30 years, and an average remaining current term of approximately 14 years. Assuming all extensions are exercised, the ground leases have, on average, approximately 26 years of remaining lease term.

CT REIT, and Oxford Properties Group (the “Co-owners”), entered into a binding lease with CTC to occupy space in two of the existing office buildings at Canada Square in 2025. CTC will lease approximately 550,000 square feet of GLA for a 21-year term. As part of these lease arrangements, the Co-owners will significantly refurbish the CTC leased buildings (the “Office Retrofit”). Upon completion, the Office Retrofit will deliver approximately 680,000 square feet of modernized office space, over 80% of which will be anchored by CTC, and will stabilize the existing commercial portion of the complex. The Co-owners also intend to unlock the full redevelopment potential of the Canada Square property by continuing to work towards advancing the revised master plan which was resubmitted to the municipality in December 2022.
As at March 31, 2026, CT REIT had committed lease agreements for 599,000 square feet, representing 95.2% of total GLA under development, of which 94.5% has been leased to CTC. A total of $176,658 has been expended to date, and CT REIT anticipates investing an additional $203,172 to complete the developments, of which $82,328 is due to CTC. In the next 12 months, the REIT expects to spend approximately $78,000 on these development activities. These commitments include the Office Retrofit costs and certain approved pre-development consultant related expenses at the Canada Square property, but do not include the development costs associated with future phases of the project.

Maintenance Capital Expenditures
Many of the capital costs incurred by CT REIT are recoverable from tenants pursuant to the terms of their leases. These recoveries occur either in the year in which such expenditures are incurred or, in the case of a major item of replacement or betterment, on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life thereof. Capital expenditures of $932 (Q1 2025 – $699) were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Most of the REIT’s recoverable capital expenditures relate to parking lots, roofs and heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment, the timing of which are typically seasonal in nature. As a result, recoverable capital costs may vary widely from period to period.

Property revenue $ 157,558 $ 150,396 4.8%
Property revenue includes all amounts earned from tenants pursuant to lease agreements including base rent, property taxes, operating costs and other recoveries. Many of CT REIT’s expenses are recoverable from tenants pursuant to the terms of their leases, with the REIT absorbing these expenses to the extent that vacancies exist. The total amount of base rent to be received from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases.
Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $7,162 (4.8%) higher compared to the same period in the prior year primarily for the following reasons:
-
acquisitions, intensifications and developments completed during 2025 contributed $5,031;
-
property expense recoveries increased by $2,615; and
-
base rent increases as part of lease renewals within the Property portfolio contributed $529; partially offset by
-
development fee revenue of $1,000 earned in Q1 2025.

Property expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased by $1,828 (5.4%) compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to higher property tax expenses related to acquisitions and developments, and increased operating expenses related to general building repairs and maintenance.

General and Administrative Expense $ 4,167 $ 4,305 (3.2)%
CT REIT has three primary categories of general and administrative expense, namely: (i) personnel costs; (ii) Services Agreement expense; and (iii) public entity and other costs, including external audit fees, trustee compensation expense, legal and professional fees, travel and deferred income tax related to CT REIT GP Corp.’s (“GP”) activities, which may fluctuate depending on when such costs are incurred. The Services Agreement expense costs are largely related to certain administrative, information technology, internal audit and other support services provided by CTC to the REIT pursuant to the Services Agreement, as further described in section 8.0 of this MD&A. The personnel, public entity and other costs reflect the expenses related to ongoing operations of CT REIT.

$16,317), until the first business day following the end of the fiscal year. The deferred distributions have been netted against interest payable on Class C LP Units and are included under the heading “other liabilities” on the interim balance sheets.
2 See section 6.10 for details on Credit Facilities.
Net interest and other financing charges for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $1,742 (5.5%) higher compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was a result of increased interest costs from resetting the interest rate on the Series 3, 16-19 Class C LP Units, effective June 1, 2025, higher Credit Facilities utilization to fund 2025 acquisitions, intensifications and developments, and issuance of $200,000 Series J unsecured debentures, which closed on June 9, 2025, partially offset by higher capitalized interest on Properties Under Development.
Fair Value Adjustment on Investment Properties
Three Months Ended
2026 2025 Change
Fair value adjustment on investment properties $ 31,167 $ 24,813 25.6%
The fair value adjustment on investment properties for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $6,354 compared to the adjustment in the same period in the prior year. The increase in the fair value of investment properties is primarily driven by contractual rent increases and leasing activity within the Property portfolio.
Income Tax Expense
Management operates CT REIT in a manner that enables the REIT to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) (“ITA”). CT REIT distributes 100% of its taxable income to unitholders and therefore does not incur income tax expense in relation to its activities. The REIT only records deferred income tax in relation to the GP activities.
If CT REIT fails to distribute all of its taxable income to unitholders, or if CT REIT fails to qualify as a “real estate investment trust” under the ITA, substantial adverse tax consequences may occur. Refer to section 12.0 for further information.

This increase was attributable to the fair value adjustment on investment properties, higher property revenue resulting from acquisitions, intensifications and developments completed in 2025 and contractual rent escalations, partially offset by higher net interest expense and property expense, and development fee revenue earned in 2025.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, same store NOI increased by $1,442 (1.2%) compared to the prior year. The increase was driven primarily by average contractual rent escalations of 1.5% per annum on Canadian Tire leases, generally effective January 1, which contributed $1,839, partially offset by a decrease in property tax and operating expense recoveries, which reduced NOI by $398.
Same property NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $2,725 (2.3%) compared to the prior year due to the increase in same store NOI noted above, as well as an increase in NOI of $1,283 from intensifications completed in 2025.
NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $5,562 (4.7%) compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in same property NOI, coupled with an increase in NOI due to properties that were acquired and developed in 2025.

Credit Ratings
The senior unsecured debt of CT REIT is rated by Morningstar DBRS, an independent credit rating agency that provides issuer credit ratings and credit ratings of debt securities of an issuer. A credit rating generally provides an indication of the risk that the borrower will not fulfill its full obligations in a timely manner with respect to both interest and principal commitments. Rating categories range from highest credit quality (generally “AAA”) to default in payment (generally “D”).
The credit rating of CT REIT is related to, and currently equivalent to that of CTC, as CTC holds a significant ownership position in CT REIT and CTC is CT REIT’s most significant tenant.

Indebtedness Ratio
CT REIT has adopted an indebtedness ratio guideline which management uses as a measure to evaluate its leverage and the strength of its equity position, expressed as a percentage of total assets. This ratio can help investors determine the REIT’s risk levels. CT REIT’s Declaration of Trust and the Trust Indenture limit its indebtedness (plus the aggregate par value of the Class C LP Units) to a maximum of 60% of the gross book value, excluding convertible debentures, and 65% including convertible debentures. Gross book value is defined as total assets as reported on the latest consolidated balance sheets.
CT REIT calculates its indebtedness ratio as follows:
(in thousands of Canadian dollars)

The indebtedness ratio as at March 31, 2026 decreased compared to the indebtedness ratio as at December 31, 2025 primarily due to an increase in the fair value of investment properties, and repayments of amounts drawn under the Credit Facilities.

Class C LP Units
As at March 31, 2026, there were 1,451,550 Class C LP Units outstanding, all of which were held by CTC. The Class C LP Units are designed to provide CTC with an interest in the Partnership that entitles holders to a fixed cumulative monthly payment, during the fixed rate period for each series of Class C LP Units (the “Current Fixed Rate Period”). Such payments are made in priority to distributions made to holders of Class B LP Units and other Partnership units (subject to certain exceptions) if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the GP and are payable monthly at an annual distribution rate for each series as set out in the table below. In addition, the Class C LP Units are entitled to receive Special Voting Units, in certain limited circumstances. Refer to section 7.0 for further details.

On expiry of the Current Fixed Rate Period applicable to each series of Class C LP Units, and each five-year period thereafter, each series of Class C LP Units is redeemable at par (together with all accrued and unpaid payments thereon) at the option of the Partnership or the holder, upon giving at least 120 days’ prior notice. The Partnership also has the ability to settle any of the Class C LP Units at any time at a price equal to the greater of par and a price to provide a yield equal to the then equivalent Government of Canada bond yield plus a spread, so long as such redemption is in connection with a sale of Properties.
During the five-year period beginning immediately following the completion of the initial fixed rate period, and each five-year period thereafter, if not redeemed, the fixed payment rate for Class C LP Units will be reset, and the holders of Class C LP Units will be entitled, subject to certain conditions, to elect either a fixed rate or variable rate option. Such redemptions of Class C LP Units (other than upon a change of control of CT REIT) can be settled at the option of the Partnership, in cash or Class B LP Units of equal value.

Capital Strategy
Management expects the REIT’s future debt will be in the form of:
-
Class C LP Units (treated as debt for accounting purposes);
-
funds drawn on the Credit Facilities;
-
unsecured public debt; and
-
secured debt.
Management’s objectives are to access an optimal cost of capital with the most flexible terms, to have a maturity/redemption schedule (for fixed term obligations) spread over a time horizon so as to manage refinancing risk and to be in a position to finance acquisition and development opportunities when they become available. The Declaration of Trust and the Trust Indenture limit the REIT’s overall indebtedness ratio to 60% of total aggregate assets, excluding convertible debentures, and 65% including convertible debentures.

Commitments and Contingencies
As at March 31, 2026, CT REIT had obligations of $203,172 (December 31, 2025 – $217,048) in future payments for the completion of intensifications and developments, as described in section 4.5 of this MD&A. Included in the commitment is
$82,328 due to CTC.
CT REIT believes it has sufficient liquidity to fund these future commitments as a result of (i) its conservative use of leverage on the balance sheet; (ii) liquidity on hand; (iii) its Credit Facilities; (iv) an investment grade credit rating; (v) significant unencumbered assets; and (vi) sufficient operating cash flow retained in the business.
-
Base Shelf Prospectus and At-the-Market Program
On June 10, 2025, CT REIT renewed its short form base shelf prospectus under which it may issue debt and/or equity (including the sale of Units by CTC), and its at-the-market program (the “ATM Program”) that allows the REIT, in its discretion, to issue up to $100,000 of Units from treasury to the public from time to time over the 25-month period ending July 10, 2027.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, no Units were issued under the ATM Program.

Distributions
CT REIT’s primary business goal is to accumulate a portfolio of high-quality real estate assets and deliver the benefits of such real estate ownership to unitholders. The primary benefit to unitholders is expected to be reliable, durable and growing distributions over time.
In determining the amount of the monthly distributions paid to unitholders, the Board applies discretionary judgment to forward-looking cash flow information, such as forecasts and budgets, in addition to many other factors including provisions in the Declaration of Trust, the macro-economic and industry-specific environment, debt maturities, covenants and taxable income.
The Board regularly reviews CT REIT’s rate of distributions to ensure an appropriate level of distributions. The Board has discretion over the determination of monthly and annual distributions.
On March 16, 2026, a distribution of $0.07903 per unit payable on April 15, 2026 was declared to holders of Units and Class B LP Units of record on March 31, 2026.
On April 15, 2026, a distribution of $0.07903 per unit payable on May 15, 2026 was declared to holders of Units and Class B LP Units of record on April 30, 2026.
On May 11, 2026, the REIT announced a 3.5% distribution increase effective with the July 15, 2026 payment to holders of Units. Monthly distributions will be increased to $0.08180 per Unit, or $0.9816 per Unit on an annualized basis.
One of CT REIT’s objectives is to grow monthly distributions. The distribution payments and increases since January 1, 2014 are as follows:

Distribution for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are higher than the same period in the prior year due to the increase in distributions which became effective with the monthly distributions paid in July 2025.
Net income prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards recognizes certain revenues and expenses at time intervals that do not match the receipt or payment of cash. Therefore, in applying judgment, consideration is given to AFFO (a non-GAAP measure of recurring economic earnings used to assess distribution capacity, refer to section 10.0) and other factors when determining distributions to unitholders.
CT REIT’s distributions for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are less than the REIT’s cash generated from operating activities, cash generated from operating activities reduced by net interest and other financing charges, and AFFO, a non-GAAP financial measure, which is an indicator of CT REIT’s distribution capacity.

Net Asset Value Per Unit
Net asset value per unit represents total equity from the consolidated balance sheets divided by the number of units outstanding as at period end. It is an indication of the residual net asset value available to unitholders. As well, net asset value per unit is compared to the REIT’s Unit trading price in order to measure a premium or discount.
