4 NAV per Unit is a non-GAAP ratio. NAV per Unit comprises total equity (including Class B Units) (a non-GAAP financial measure) divided by the number of Units. For further information on this non-GAAP ratio, please refer to the statements under the heading “Non-GAAP financial measures, ratios and supplementary financial measures” in this press release.

Net income for Q2 2025 was $0.8 million compared to $3.3 million in Q2 2024 and comprises fair value adjustments to investment properties of $(1.2) million and fair value adjustments to financial instruments of $(2.3) million. FFO for Q2 2025 and the prior year comparative quarter was consistent year-over-year at $3.5 million. Q2 2025 diluted FFO per Unit was $0.18, consistent with the prior year comparative quarter.

Net rental income for Q2 2025 was $8.2 million and compares to $8.0 million in the comparative quarter. The increase in net rental income from the comparative quarter was largely driven by an increase in investment properties revenue. Comparative properties NOI for Q2 2025 was $6.4 million and consistent with the comparative quarter. Comparative properties NOI margin for Q2 2024 was 51.9%, compared to 52.6% in the comparative quarter. Q2 2025 comparative properties NOI includes comparative investment properties revenue of $12.4 million, which increased by $0.3 million from the comparative quarter. The increase was driven by positive blended lease trade-outs and rental premiums from our value-add program. Investment properties operating expenses were $6.0 million for Q2 2025, and $5.7 million for the comparative quarter when excluding the impact of IFRIC 21, “Levies” (“IFRIC 21”), as a result of increased property taxes and utilities, generally offset by lower property insurance expenses.
