TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 05, 2026--
Granite Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX: GRT.UN) ("Granite" or the "Trust") announced today its condensed consolidated results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and also announced that today it released its 2025 Corporate Sustainability report.
SECOND QUARTER 2026 HIGHLIGHTS
Highlights for the three month period ended June 30, 2026 are set out below:
Financial:
-- Granite's net operating income ("NOI") was $135.4 million in the second
quarter of 2026 compared to $123.4 million in the prior year period, an
increase of $12.0 million primarily as a result of new and renewal
leasing activity mostly in Canada and the United States, contractual rent
adjustments and consumer price index based increases across the portfolio,
and the acquisitions of eight income-producing properties in the United
States and the United Kingdom beginning in the second quarter of 2025,
partially offset by the dispositions of five income-producing properties
beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025;
-- Constant currency same property NOI - cash basis(4) increased by 8.3%
for the second quarter of 2026;
-- Funds from operations ("FFO")(1) was $95.2 million ($1.56 per unit) in
the second quarter of 2026 compared to $85.4 million ($1.39 per unit) in
the second quarter of 2025. Excluding the net impact of $2.6 million in
general and administrative expenses and interest and penalty provisions
recognized relating to assessments received from the Canada Revenue
Agency pertaining to a five-year HST audit of one of Granite's
subsidiaries and the recognition of $1.3 million in lease termination and
close-out fee revenue, FFO per unit for the second quarter of 2026 would
have been $1.58;
-- Adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO")(2) was $77.3 million ($1.26 per
unit) in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $75.1 million ($1.23 per
unit) in the second quarter of 2025. Excluding the net impact of ($1.3)
million of non-recurring items noted in FFO above, AFFO per unit for the
second quarter of 2026 would have been $1.28;
-- During the three month period ended June 30, 2026, the Canadian dollar
weakened against the Euro, and remained consistent against the US dollar
compared to the prior year period. The impact of foreign exchange on FFO
and AFFO for the three month period ended June 30, 2026, relative to the
same period in 2025, was favourable by $0.01 per unit for each measure;
-- AFFO payout ratio(3) was 70% for the second quarter of 2026 compared to
69% in the second quarter of 2025;
-- The fair value of investment properties increased by $124.7 million
primarily due to unrealized foreign exchange gains of $112.6 million
resulting from the relative weakening of the Canadian dollar against the
US dollar and the Euro as at June 30, 2026 compared to March 31, 2026,
and capital expenditures at properties primarily in the United States and
Canada of $32.9 million, partially offset by fair value losses on
investment properties of $20.6 million. Granite recognized $12.9 million
in fair value losses, including assets held for sale, in the second
quarter of 2026, primarily attributable to the expansion in the discount
and terminal capitalization rates at select European properties due to
market conditions and decreases in fair market rents at select properties
in Canada, partially offset by increases in fair market rents at select
properties in the United States, and a fair value gain on an asset held
for sale in the United States; and
-- Granite's net income attributable to unitholders in the second quarter
of 2026 was $70.0 million compared to $95.0 million in the prior year
period primarily due to a $29.7 million unfavourable change in fair value
adjustments on investment properties, and a $8.2 million increase in
general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a $12.0 million
increase in net operating income as noted above.
Investments:
-- As at June 30, 2026, two income-producing properties located in the
United States and Canada were classified as assets held for sale with a
fair value of $66.2 million; and
-- Subsequent to June 30, 2026, on July 20, 2026, Granite completed the
disposition of a 41,200 square foot income-producing property located in
Canada that was classified as held for sale as at June 30, 2026, for a
gross sale price of $16.5 million.
Operations:
-- In-place occupancy as at June 30, 2026 was 98.0%, representing an
increase of 50 basis points relative to in-place occupancy as at March
31, 2026 and an increase of 220 basis points relative to in-place
occupancy as at June 30, 2025. Committed occupancy as at August 5, 2026
is 98.1%;
-- During the second quarter of 2026, Granite achieved average rental rate
spreads of 7% over expiring rents representing approximately 0.3 million
square feet of new leases and renewals taking effect in the quarter
including a 0.1 million square foot month-to-month fixed rate lease
extension at one U.S. property; and
-- During the second quarter of 2026, Granite executed a lease commencing
in the second quarter of 2026 for approximately 52,500 square feet of the
remaining vacant space at a previously completed development in Tennessee
for a 63-month term. Following this lease execution, the approximately
0.5 million square foot business park is now fully leased as at June 30,
2026.
Financing:
-- During the second quarter of 2026, Granite issued 709,975 units under
its at-the-market equity distribution program (the "ATM Program") at an
average unit price of $96.39 for gross proceeds of $68.4 million
excluding issuance costs; and
-- Subsequent to June 30, 2026, Granite issued 723,200 units under its ATM
Program at an average unit price of $96.82 for gross proceeds of $70.0
million excluding issuance costs. Year to date, Granite has issued
1,433,175 units under its ATM Program at an average price of $96.61 for
gross proceeds of $138.4 million excluding issuance costs.

2025 CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
Today, Granite released its 2025 Corporate Sustainability report which highlights Granite's sustainability program initiatives and updates from the 2025 calendar year. A copy of the report can be found on Granite's website at https://granitereit.com/sustainability.
2026 OUTLOOK
Granite is updating its 2026 guidance and narrowing the ranges relative to guidance initially published on February 25, 2026. Granite's current outlook reflects lease renewals and new leasing, dispositions, and financing transactions completed year to date. In addition, the outlook assumes the disposition of the assets held for sale of $66.2 million in Q3 2026 and assumes new acquisitions totaling approximately $195 million executed by early Q4 2026, financed by net proceeds from the dispositions, draws on Granite's $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), and cash on hand. The outlook assumes no material changes to its assumptions regarding remaining leasing activity for the year, operations and capital expenditures. The high and low ranges are driven by foreign currency exchange rate assumptions which have been updated for the US dollar and British pound and are outlined in the table below.
The table below outlines Granite's current forecast for the year ending December 31, 2026:

NON-GAAP PERFORMANCE MEASURES, RATIOS AND RECONCILIATIONS
Readers are cautioned that certain terms used in this press release such as FFO, AFFO, FFO payout ratio, AFFO payout ratio, same property NOI - cash basis, constant currency same property NOI - cash basis, total debt and net debt, net leverage ratio, and any related per unit amounts used by management to measure, compare and explain the operating results and financial performance of the Trust do not have standardized meanings prescribed under IFRS$(R)$ Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards" or "GAAP") and, therefore, should not be construed as alternatives to net income, cash provided by operating activities or any other measure calculated in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Additionally, because these terms do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded entities.
(1) FFO is a non-GAAP performance measure that is widely used by the real
estate industry in evaluating the operating performance of real estate
entities. Granite calculates FFO as net income attributable to
unitholders excluding fair value gains (losses) on investment
properties and financial instruments, gains (losses) on sale of
investment properties including the associated current income tax,
foreign exchange gains (losses) on certain monetary items not forming
part of a net investment in a foreign operation, fair value
remeasurement on deferred units, deferred income taxes, corporate
restructuring costs and certain other items, net of non-controlling
interests in such items. The Trust's determination of FFO follows the
definition prescribed by the Real Property Association of Canada
("REALPAC") guidelines on Funds From Operations & Adjusted Funds From
Operations for IFRS Accounting Standards dated January 2022 ("REALPAC
Guidelines") except for the exclusion of corporate restructuring costs.
Granite considers FFO to be a meaningful supplemental measure that can
be used to determine the Trust's ability to service debt, fund capital
expenditures and provide distributions to unitholders. FFO is
reconciled to net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP
measure (see table below). FFO should not be construed as an
alternative to net income or cash flow provided by operating activities
determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
(2) AFFO is a non-GAAP performance measure that is widely used by the real
estate industry in evaluating the recurring economic earnings
performance of real estate entities after considering certain capital
costs associated with sustaining such earnings. Granite calculates AFFO
as net income attributable to unitholders including all adjustments
used to calculate FFO and further adjusts for actual maintenance
capital expenditures that are required to sustain Granite's productive
capacity, leasing costs such as leasing commissions and tenant
allowances incurred and non-cash straight-line rent and tenant
incentive amortization, net of non-controlling interests in such items.
The Trust's determination of AFFO follows the definition prescribed by
the REALPAC Guidelines except for the exclusion of corporate
restructuring costs as noted above. Granite considers AFFO to be a
meaningful supplemental measure that can be used to determine the
Trust's ability to service debt, fund expansion capital expenditures,
fund property development and provide distributions to unitholders
after considering capital costs associated with sustaining operating
earnings. AFFO is also reconciled to net income, which is the most
directly comparable GAAP measure (see table below). AFFO should not be
construed as an alternative to net income or cash flow provided by
operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting
Standards.

(3) The FFO and AFFO payout ratios are calculated as monthly distributions,
which exclude special distributions, declared to unitholders divided by
FFO and AFFO (non-GAAP performance measures), respectively, in a
period. FFO payout ratio and AFFO payout ratio may exclude revenue or
expenses incurred during a period that can be a source of variance
between periods. The FFO payout ratio and AFFO payout ratio are
supplemental measures widely used by investors in evaluating the
sustainability of the Trust's monthly distributions to unitholders.

(4) Same property NOI -- cash basis refers to the NOI -- cash basis (NOI
excluding lease termination and close-out fees, and the non-cash impact
from straight-line rent and tenant incentive amortization) for those
properties owned by Granite throughout the entire current and prior
year periods under comparison. Same property NOI -- cash basis excludes
properties that were acquired, disposed of, classified as development
properties or assets held for sale during the periods under comparison.
Granite believes that same property NOI -- cash basis is a useful
supplementary measure in understanding period-over-period organic
changes in NOI -- cash basis from the same stock of properties owned.

(1) (The square footage relating to the NOI -- cash basis represents GLA of
62.1 million square feet as at June 30, 2026. The square footage
relating to the same property NOI -- cash basis represents the
aforementioned GLA excluding the impact from the acquisitions,
dispositions, assets held for sale and developments during the relevant
period.)
(2) (Constant currency same property NOI - cash basis is calculated by
converting the comparative same property NOI - cash basis at current
period average foreign exchange rates.)
(5) Total debt is calculated as the sum of all current and non-current
debt, the net mark to market fair value of derivatives and lease
obligations. Net debt subtracts cash and cash equivalents from total
debt. Granite believes that it is useful to include the derivatives and
lease obligations for the purposes of monitoring the Trust's debt
levels.
(6) The net leverage ratio is calculated as net debt (a non-GAAP
performance measure defined above) divided by the fair value of
investment properties (excluding assets held for sale). The net
leverage ratio is a non-GAAP ratio used in evaluating the Trust's
degree of financial leverage, borrowing capacity and the relative
strength of its balance sheet.

---------------------------------- -------- ------- -------
(7) Overall capitalization rate is calculated as stabilized net operating
income (property revenue less property expenses) divided by the fair
value of the income-producing property.
(8) Annualized revenue for each period presented is calculated as the
contractual base rent for the month subsequent to the quarterly
reporting period multiplied by 12 months. Annualized revenue excludes
revenue from properties classified as assets held for sale.
(9) Committed occupancy as at August 5, 2026.
(10) Assets held for sale are excluded from investment properties and
related property metrics. Accordingly, two such assets that were held
for sale as at June 30, 2026 were excluded from investment properties
and related metrics as at June 30, 2026. Two such assets that were
held for sale as at December 31, 2025 were excluded from investment
properties and related property metrics as at December 31, 2025.
(11) Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income attributable to
unitholders before lease termination and close-out fees, interest
expense, interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and
amortization expense, fair value gains (losses) on investment
properties and financial instruments, fair value remeasurement on
deferred units, other expense relating to real estate transfer tax and
loss on the sale of investment properties, foreign exchange gains
(losses) on certain monetary items not forming part of a net
investment in a foreign operation, corporate restructuring costs and
certain other items, net of non-controlling interests in such items.
(12) The indebtedness ratio is calculated as total debt (a non-GAAP
performance measure defined above) divided by Adjusted EBITDA (a
non-GAAP performance measure defined above) and Granite believes it is
useful in evaluating the Trust's ability to repay outstanding debt
using its operating cash flows.
