Investor Relations

Tucked into the fabric of Canada's bustling urban landscapes is First Capital Real Estate Investment Trust, a prominent player in the commercial real estate sector. First Capital REIT specializes in owning, operating, and developing mixed-use properties that are predominantly retail-focused, situated in densely populated neighborhoods. As a forward-thinking entity, the company strategically positions its assets in urban areas with strong demographic trends and income levels, thereby fostering a thriving environment for tenants while attracting staggering foot traffic. These locations typically house grocery-anchored shopping centers, which cater to everyday consumer needs, thereby reinforcing their significance to local communities and ensuring consistent demand for their spaces.

First Capital REIT’s financial model hinges on generating stable and growing cash flows through leasing its properties to a diverse mix of tenants. These range from well-known national and international retail chains to local businesses, providing a balanced tenant base. Moreover, the trust is active in the realm of property development and redevelopment, continuously seeking opportunities to enhance its portfolio by maximizing the value of its properties through both expansion and innovative use of space. This ability to dynamically adapt and upgrade its holdings, while capitalizing on urban growth trends, positions First Capital REIT to achieve steady financial performance, simultaneously benefitting its stakeholders and bolstering its market position.

AI Summary
Q4 2025

Strong Same-Property NOI Growth: Same-property cash NOI grew by 5.9% for 2025, exceeding expectations and driven mainly by leasing strength and higher rents.

High Occupancy and Rental Rates: Year-end occupancy remained robust at 97.1%, with average in-place net rent reaching a record $24.73 per square foot.

FFO Performance: Operating FFO per unit rose to $1.33 for the year, up 6% from 2024, supported by good cost containment and rental growth.

Distribution Increase: The Board approved a 2.5% increase to monthly distributions, effective January 2026.

Balance Sheet Strength: Debt-to-EBITDA improved to the low 9s, and the REIT ended the year with over $700 million in liquidity.

2026 Outlook: Management forecasts 3% same-property NOI growth for 2026, with the year impacted by some lease terminations and higher interest expenses.

Dispositions and Development: $193 million in asset sales in 2025 at strong prices; development activity continues with major projects progressing on schedule.

Minimal Impact from Retail Closures: Toys "R" Us stopped paying rent in January, but backfill prospects are strong, and no other major turnover is expected.
