Our portfolio remains in excellent shape, with 100% occupancy maintained and all 2026 lease renewals now completed. As it has throughout our history, our model continues to demonstrate its resilience, delivering consistent growth through disciplined acquisitions, proactive balance sheet management, organic rent growth, and steady mortgage paydown. Looking ahead, our focus is on unlocking further capital to fund future acquisitions and continue building on our organic growth momentum.”Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

Please try againCanadian Net reported Funds from operations1 (“FFO”) of $3.53 million, or $0.171 per unit, an increase of 3% compared to $3.41 million, or $0.166 per unit, for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 (“Q2 2025”).Rental income was $7.11 million in Q2 2026, an increase of 3.3% from Q2 2025. Net Operating Income1 (“NOI”) in Q2 2026 was $5.11 million, an increase of 1.7% from Q2 2025, reflecting mainly the increase in rental income from existing properties.The REIT generated a net income attributable to unitholders of $3.5 million in Q2 2026 compared to a net loss of $1.4 million in Q2 2025.RESULTS FOR THE 6-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2026Canadian Net reported FFO1 of $6.94 million, or $0.337 per unit, an increase of 2% compared to $6.79 million, or $0.330 per unit for the 6-month period ended June 30, 2025.Rental income was $14.05 million for the 6-month period ended June 30, 2026, an increase of 2.3% from the same period in 2025. NOI1 over the 6-month period ended June 30, 2026 was $10.12 million, an increase of 1.1% from the same period in 2025, reflecting mainly an increase in rental income due to property acquisitions and rent increases on existing properties.The REIT generated a net income attributable to unitholders of $5.9 million for the 6-month period ended June 30, 2026 compared to a net income of $8.8 million for the same period last year.The increase in FFO1 is mainly derived from property acquisitions and increases in rent of certain existing properties, as well as lower interest charges on credit facilities and convertible debentures. The increase in FFO1 was partially offset by higher interest charges on mortgage renewals. The increase in NOI1 was mainly attributable to the increase in rental income from property acquisitions and rent increases on existing properties. Finally, the variance in net income attributable to unitholders is primarily attributable to the change in the fair value of investment properties.1 Non-IFRS financial measure with no standardized IFRS meaning and may not be comparable to other issuers. Refer to the section “Non-IFRS financial measures”.Canadian Net announced that it will make monthly cash distributions of $0.03 per unit, representing $0.36 per unit on an annualized basis, on October 30th, November 30th and December 31st, 2026, to unitholders of record on October 15th, November 13th and December 15th, 2026, respectively.This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.The tables below represent other financial highlights and the reconciliations of certain non-IFRS measures for Q2 2026 and Q2 2025.

In this press release, as a complement to results provided in accordance with IFRS, the Trust discloses and discusses certain non-IFRS financial measures: FFO, FFO per unit, Normalized FFO, Normalized FFO per unit, AFFO, AFFO per unit, NOI, and Adjusted Investment Properties. These non-IFRS measures are not defined by IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning, and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers. Canadian Net has presented such non-IFRS measures as management of the Trust believes they are relevant measures of Canadian Net’s underlying operating performance and debt management. Non-IFRS measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income, cash generated from (utilized in) operating activities, or comparable metrics determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of the Trust’s performance, liquidity, cash flow, and profitability. Information appearing in this news release is a select summary of results. This news release should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and MD&A for the Trust. Please refer to the “Non IFRS Financial Measures” section in Canadian Net’s management’s discussion and analysis for the period ended June 30, 2026, available under Canadian Net’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca for a full description of these measures and, where applicable, a reconciliation to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with IFRS.
