- Cash NOI and AFFO per unit showed strong growth, with cash NOI up 8.4% for the year and AFFO per unit diluted increasing to $0.998 from $0.932.
- The REIT successfully completed a $57.1 million equity offering in Q4 to finance acquisitions, contributing to a nearly $0.02 increase in AFFO per unit.
- The company has a solid growth momentum entering 2026, supported by recent acquisitions and a well-balanced debt strategy with 87% of debt fixed through interest rate swaps and mortgages.
- Interest expenses and other financing charges increased by $1.9 million in Q4 2025 compared to the previous year, due to additional debt and higher interest rates.
- The sale of the Kennedy Lands property in October 2024 resulted in a reduction of rental revenue, partially offsetting growth from new acquisitions.
