We remain focused on creating long-term value for unitholders through disciplined capital allocation, operational excellence, and strategic portfolio growth, measured in cash flow per unit.”“Leasing activity across our portfolio remains exceptionally strong, driven by healthy demand from national and international retailers,” said Patrick Sullivan, President and Chief Operating Officer. “The pace of deal execution remains robust as we secure high-quality tenants on attractive terms across our portfolio. This leasing momentum is driving occupancy gains, strengthening the merchandising mix in our centres, and supporting meaningful NOI growth and long-term value creation for our unitholders.”This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.“Primaris continues to benefit from a strong balance sheet, a key competitive advantage and strategic differentiator,” said Rags Davloor, Chief Financial Officer. “Supported by industry leading debt metrics, strong liquidity, and a growing pool of unencumbered assets, our conservative leverage profile provides significant financial flexibility. This low leverage, low payout ratio model positions us to act decisively on strategic opportunities as they arise while continuing to invest in our portfolio, allocate capital in a disciplined manner, execute on our NCIB, and create long-term value for our unitholders.”Throughout Earnings Release:** Denotes a non-GAAP measure.

In-place occupancy at September 30, 2026 of 87.7% was 4.1% lower than the previous year. The decline was driven by three factors: the impact of the vacant space associated with HBC leases disclaimed in November of 2025; lower occupancy rates at the Acquisitions compared to the remaining portfolio; and higher occupancy rates at the Dispositions compared to the remaining portfolio. While the in-place occupancy rates at the Dispositions were higher compared to the remaining portfolio, these properties had a higher percentage of short-term and specialty leases.The long-term in-place occupancy for the Same Properties shopping centres was 0.8% higher than the previous year. This increase was driven by the high volume of recently completed lease deals.Average in-place occupancy is calculated by averaging the occupied square feet and total GLA for each month in the measurement period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the average in-place occupancy rate was 86.6%, a decrease of 5.9% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the change in the portfolio composition and the vacant space associated with HBC leases.2026 CountIn-place OccupancyAs atSeptember 30, 2026December 31, 2025September 30, 2025Shopping centres12089.8%89.6%91.7%Other properties2397.7%98.9%98.9%Same Properties in-place occupancy32390.3%90.2%92.1%Acquisitions4680.6%77.7%89.3%In-place occupancy excluding dispositions2987.7%86.8%91.5%Dispositions5—92.8%94.3%In-place occupancy87.7%87.2%91.8%Average in-place occupancyThree months ended87.2%91.0%91.7%Year to date86.6%92.3%92.5%1 Shopping centres classified as Same Properties include 19 enclosed malls and 1 open air centre, Highstreet Shopping Centre in Abbotsford, BC.2 Other properties classified as Same Properties include 2 plazas and 1 professional centre.3 Properties owned throughout the entire 21 months ended September 30, 2026, excluding properties under development or major redevelopment, are referred to as “Same Properties”.4 Acquisitions includes 5 enclosed malls and 1 professional centre (see Section 7.3, “Transactions” of the MD&A).5 Dispositions represents the sale of properties in 2026 and 2025 (see Section 7.3, “Transactions” of the MD&A).This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.In the quarter, Primaris completed 177 leasing deals totaling 617 thousand square feet. The majority of the leasing deals were for commercial retail unit (“CRU”) tenants comprising 130 deals over 274 thousand square feet at average net rents of $52.60. The weighted average spread on renewing net rents* (for the 104 leases renewed in the quarter) was 12.7% (14.4% for CRU renewals and 7.2% for large format renewals).Substantial Progress on Former HBC SpacePrior to the acquisition of Upper Canada Mall, Primaris had 12 former HBC locations. Primaris is actively pursuing re-leasing and redevelopment plans for 10 former HBC locations with GLA totaling 1,230,000 square feet which historically generated an average minimum rent of $4.18 per square foot, or $5.1 million annually. Primaris’ re-leasing and redevelopment plans do not extend to Cataraqui Centre which is under contract for disposition (anticipated to close by January 6, 2027, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions including any required regulatory approvals) or to Devonshire Mall where the former HBC space is slated for demolition.Primaris continues to make significant progress executing its strategy to re-lease and redevelop the former HBC space. Leasing progress to date includes:69% (728,000 square feet) of the former HBC space under long-term lease agreements, with 84% (882,000 square feet) of former HBC space is leased or in advanced negotiations; The total space leased or in advanced negotiations is expected to generate approximately $15.1 million of annual rental revenue, 4x the annual rent previously generated from the space when occupied by HBC;115,500 square foot former HBC space at Place D’Orleans in Orleans, Ontario, is leased to Walmart;Plus strong inbound interest on the remaining available space across multiple tenant categories including grocery, pharmacy, sporting goods, and other national and international high credit quality tenants; and178,200 square feet of future leasing includes the 130,600 square foot former HBC at Promenades St-Bruno which is partially leased on a short term basis, while Primaris focuses on the food hall redevelopment at this property.The table below summarizes the long term leasing results to date and anticipated results for the former 10 HBC spaces. It is anticipated that former HBC backfill tenants will produce approximately $19.5 million in net rent, or approximately $23 million Cash NOI**, when considering recovery of approximately $3.6 million in operating expenses that are currently being absorbed by Primaris.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.As at October 28, 2026 ($ thousands and thousands of square feet, unless otherwise indicated) (unaudited)Former HBC Annual Net RentFormer HBC Weighted Average Net Rent per occupied square foot*Anticipated Annual Net RentAnticipated Weighted Average Net Rent per occupied square foot*Anticipated GLAAggregate Annual Net Rent over and above Former HBCPercentage of Total Anticipated GLACommitted and conditional$2,582$3.55$12,223$16.79728.05 x69%Advanced discussions1,168$7.632,920$18.96154.02 x15%Total leased or in discussions$3,750$4.25$15,143$17.17882.04 x84%Future leasing4,307$24.17178.216%Total Anticipated$19,450$18.351,060.2100%Common area77.8Partial property demolition92.0Total square footage1,230.010 former HBC spaces1$5,141$4.181,230.01 Analysis excludes the disposition of Cataraqui Centre which is anticipated to close by January 6, 2027, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including any required regulatory approvals, Devonshire is slated for demolition, and the acquisition of Upper Canada Mall, which closed on October 15, 2026.The capital investment to redevelop this space is expected to be in the range of $175 million to $225 million over 2 to 3 years.

The words “will”, “expects”, “plans”, “estimates”, “intends” and similar expressions are often intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Specific forward-looking statements made or implied in this news release include but are not limited to statements regarding: Primaris’ growth opportunities, including its ability to drive performance from its existing properties, expected future distributions, future acquisition and disposition activity, Primaris’ leasing and redevelopment plans and strategy, including with respect to the former HBC space, and the timing thereof; management’s expectations regarding the potential for NOI** growth from the re-leasing of former HBC space and Primaris’ land optimization strategy; and anticipated annual net rent from the former HBC space, a portion of which is attributable to leases that are only in advanced discussions and that have not been executed. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of presenting information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the future and readers are cautioned that such statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Primaris cautions that although it is believed that the assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances, actual results, performance or achievements of Primaris may differ materially from the expectations set out in the forward-looking statements. Material risk factors and assumptions include; the risk that potential NOI** growth from the re-leasing of former HBC space and Primaris’ land optimization strategy is not realized on the terms, at the values, or with the timelines currently expected, if at all; the risk that Primaris is unable to monetize excess land or complete non-core dispositions on the terms, at the values or within the timelines currently expected, if at all; the risk that leases currently in advanced discussions are not executed and that the actual annual net rent realized from the former HBC space is less than anticipated; and those set out in the Trust’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “AIF”) and in the Trust’s management’s discussion and analysis for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Annual MD&A”), each of which are available on SEDAR+, and in Primaris’ other materials filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities from time to time. Given these risks, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements.This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Certain forward-looking information included in this news release may also be considered “financial outlook” for purposes of applicable securities laws, including statements under the headings “2026 Financial Outlook” and “2027 Financial Outlook”. Financial outlook about the Trust’s prospective results of operations including, without limitation, anticipated FFO** per unit fully diluted, anticipated Cash NOI** and Same Properties Cash NOI** growth, expected earnings growth, impact on rental revenue of contractual rent-steps, anticipated general and administrative expenses, management’s expectations regarding future FFO Payout Ratios**, anticipated operating capital expenditures, anticipated redevelopment capital expenditures, anticipated straight-line rent adjustment to revenue, anticipated occupancy, management’s expectations regarding future NOI** growth, and the Trust’s three-year performance targets for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2027, 2028 and 2029 for a number of key metrics, including in-place occupancy, average annual Same Properties Cash NOI** growth, disposition activity, capital expenditures, average annual FFO** per unit growth (fully diluted), FFO Payout Ratio**, Average Net Debt** to Adjusted EBITDA** and average annual distribution growth, is subject to the same material assumptions, risk factors, limitations and qualifications as set forth in the Annual MD&A, as updated by the MD&A, and the Trust’s AIF. The Trust and management believe that such financial outlook has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management’s best estimates and judgments. However, this information is subjective and subject to numerous risks. Financial outlook contained in this news release was provided for the purpose of providing further information about the Trust’s prospective financial performance and readers are cautioned that it should not be used for other purposes.Readers are also urged to examine the Trust’s materials filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities from time to time as they may contain discussions on risks and uncertainties which could cause the actual results and performance of Primaris to differ materially from the forward-looking statements and financial outlook contained in this news release.

These forward-looking statements and financial outlook are made as of October 28, 2026 ,and Primaris, except as required by applicable securities laws, assumes no obligation to update or revise them to reflect new information or the occurrence of future events or circumstances.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Information in this news release is a select summary of results. This news release should be read in conjunction with the MD&A and the Trust’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 (the “Financial Statements”).The Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS accounting standards as issued by the IASB, however, in this news release, Primaris also uses a number of measures which do not have a standardized meaning prescribed under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in accordance with IFRS. These non-GAAP measures, which are denoted in this news release by the suffix “**”, include non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, each as defined in National Instrument 52-112, Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure (“NI 52-112”). None of these non-GAAP measures should be construed as an alternative to financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. Furthermore, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other real estate entities. A definition of each non-GAAP measure used herein and an explanation of the reasons why management believes the measure to be useful to investors can be found in the section entitled “Non-GAAP Measures” in the MD&A, which section is incorporated by reference into this news release, and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable financial measure in the Financial Statements, in each case, can be found below. The MD&A is available on the Trust’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.Primaris uses certain operating metrics to monitor and measure the operational performance of its portfolio. Operating metrics in this news release include, among others, weighted average net rent per occupied square foot, weighted average spread on renewing rents, liquidity, same stores sales productivity and same stores sales productivity growth. These operating metrics, which may constitute supplementary financial measures as defined in NI 52-112, are not derived from directly comparable measures contained in the Financial Statements but may be used by management and disclosed on a periodic basis to depict the historical or future expected operating performance of the Trust’s portfolio. For an explanation of the composition of weighted average net rent per occupied square foot, see Section 8.2, “Weighted Average Net Rent” of the MD&A. For an explanation of weighted average spread on renewing rents, see Section 8.3, “Leasing Activity” of the MD&A. For an explanation of liquidity, see Section 10.2, “Liquidity and Unencumbered Assets” of the MD&A. For an explanation of the composition of same stores sales productivity, see Section 8.4, “Tenant Sales” of the MD&A. These supplementary financial measures are denoted in this news release by the suffix “*”.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Primaris also uses certain non-financial operating metrics to describe its portfolio and portfolio operating performance. Non-financial operating metrics in this news release include, among others, number of investment properties, store count, GLA, in-place occupancy, committed occupancy, long-term in-place occupancy, and weighted average lease term. For the relationship of in-place occupancy to committed occupancy and to long-term in-place occupancy, see Section 8.1, “Occupancy” of the MD&A. For greater certainty, the portfolio operating metrics in the MD&A include only the Trust’s proportionate ownership of the six shopping centres, and two small retail out-parcels adjacent to Les Galeries de la Capitale, held in co-ownerships (see Section 7.2, “Co-ownership Arrangements” of the MD&A).Reconciliations of Non-GAAP MeasuresThe following table reconciles NOI** and Cash NOI** to rental revenue and property operating costs as presented in the Financial Statements.($ thousands) (unaudited)Three monthsFor the periods ended September 30,20262025Revenue$175,784$159,190Operating costs(74,585)(68,447)Net Operating Income**101,19990,743Exclude:Straight-line rent adjustment(1,908)(1,243)Lease surrender revenue(721)(107)Cash Net Operating Income**$98,570$89,393Cash NOI** margin56.9%56.6%** Denotes a non-GAAP measure.
