PRO Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX:PRV.UN) reported a stable net operating income despite owning eight fewer properties compared to the previous year.
The acquisition of six industrial properties in Winnipeg is expected to be accretive to AFFO per unit and strengthens their presence in the region.
Same property NOI increased by 5%, driven by strong performance in the industrial portfolio.
The company achieved robust leasing spreads, renewing 53.3% of 2025 GLA at an average spread of 34.1%.
Debt management improved, with total debt to total assets reduced to 49.3% from 50.0% at the end of 2024.
Net cash flows from operating activities decreased to $7.4 million from $9.7 million in the same quarter last year.
The basic AFFO payout ratio increased to 93.8% from 91.6% last year, indicating higher costs relative to income.
There is a potential risk with a single tenant not renewing a lease for a 176,000 square foot property in Quebec, which could impact Q4 results.
The weighted average interest rate on maturing mortgages is relatively low, posing a refinancing challenge in the current higher interest rate environment.
The acquisition strategy involves complex transactions, which may not always align with stock price expectations, posing a risk of overpaying for assets.
Q: Gordy, regarding the strategic opportunity with Parkit, how does PROREIT plan to leverage this relationship? Does it involve acquiring more of their industrial properties? A: Gordon Lawlor, President and CEO, explained that Parkit has a significant portfolio of industrial properties in key areas like Winnipeg and Ottawa. The relationship is seen as an opportunity to manage stabilized assets and potentially collaborate on future deals, but specifics are still being developed.
Q: Alison, with the upcoming debt maturities, how is PROREIT planning to handle refinancing, especially given the low existing rates? A: Alison Schafer, CFO, stated that the maturities are spread throughout 2026, with strong-performing industrial assets backing them. The company anticipates no issues in refinancing and expects potential for up-financing, with current market rates being favorable.
Q: Mark, how does the accretion from the market transaction compare to the growth from future leases? A: Gordon Lawlor noted that the transaction is accretive on an AFFO per unit basis and has significant under-market rent potential, making it beneficial in the first few years and aligning with their growth strategy.
Q: Brad, regarding the Parkit relationship, do you foresee opportunities to manage some of their assets and increase fee income? A: Gordon Lawlor mentioned that while formal management agreements haven't been discussed, the relationship opens up potential opportunities for collaboration and mutual benefit, especially in overlapping markets.
Q: Zachary, what is the current vendor appetite for units in the acquisition pipeline, and is this a one-off strategy? A: Gordon Lawlor indicated that while there are tax synergies for sellers, these transactions are complex. The recent deal has sparked interest, but achieving a satisfactory price for both stock and assets remains challenging.

Mortgage Calculator: Here's How Much You Need To Buy a $439,450 Home at a 6.63% Rate
Mortgage rates this week for a 30-year fixed loan decreased to a four-month low of 6.63%, down from 6.72% last week. So what impact does this have on your monthly mortgage payment? And what does this mean for homebuyers? Here's the monthly cost of purchasing a typical home today, according to the mortgage calculator. Monthly mortgage payment today with a 20% down payment The typical monthly payment on a median-priced $439,450 home at today's 6.63% mortgage rate is roughly $2,252. (That's assuming a 20% down payment and excluding tax and insurance.) Last week, a median-priced home at a 6.72% mortgage rate would have cost homebuyers $2,273 per month—$21 more than what buyers would pay today. Yet, if you examine the peak mortgage rate of 7.79% in October 2023 and then compare those payments with loan installments today, homebuyers are way better off now than they would have been then. In October 2023, buyers would have paid $2,528 monthly on a $439,450 home with 20% down, which means homebuyers today can save $276 a month—or $3,312 a year—compared with buying when rates peaked. Monthly mortgage payment today with a 3.5% down payment For most borrowers, FHA loans require a 3.5% down payment. Assuming a 3.5% down payment and excluding tax and insurance, the typical payment at today's 6.63% mortgage rate on a median-priced $439,450 home is roughly $2,717 per month. Last week, a median-priced home at a 6.72% mortgage rate would have cost homebuyers $2,742 per month—$25 more than what buyers would pay today. Nonetheless, mortgage payments at today's rates on a median-priced home are still a $333-per-month improvement over October 2023, when a median-priced home at a 7.79% mortgage rate would have cost homebuyers $3,050 per month. Long-term savings over 30 years When you multiply these monthly savings by 30 years, they add up dramatically. If you buy a $439,450 house at today's 6.63% rate with a 20% down payment, you'll pay a total of $810,806 over the life of a 30-year loan. If you'd bought that same $439,450 home with 20% down in October 2023, when rates peaked at 7.79%, that loan would end up costing you $910,204. Total savings over 30 years: $99,398. Now, let's turn our attention to FHA loans. If you put down 3.5% on a $439,450 house financed at 6.63% today, you'll pay $978,034 over the life of the loan. If you'd put down 3.5% on a $439,450 home in October 2023, when rates peaked at 7.79%, you'd pay $1,097,932. Total savings over 30 years: $119,898. Solve the daily Crossword

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures rise with Wall Street looking for more records
Stock futures rose on Monday, kicking off the week in search of more records as Wall Street looked to continue its furious bull run. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures (YM=F) and futures tied to the S&P 500 (ES=F) edged up 0.2%, while those on the tech-heavy Nasdaq (NQ=F) rose 0.1%. Wall Street is coming off a week that saw the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) notch two consecutive records at its end. The S&P 500 (^GSPC), meanwhile, just missed a record close on Friday. Tech stocks overperformed as Apple (AAPL) posted its best week since 2020 on the heels of its White House spotlight with President Trump. Nvidia (NVDA) also closed Friday at a fresh record amid signals from Trump that Big Tech companies could avoid looming chip tariffs. Read more: The latest on Trump's tariffs Trump claimed that his tariffs are having a "huge positive impact on the stock market," though Wall Street is still navigating the twists and turns in his trade policy. His sweeping duties on dozens of trade partners went into effect last week. Now, investors are turning their attention to his previewed sectoral duties on semiconductor and pharmaceutical imports, as well as a looming Tuesday deadline to extend a tariff pause with China. Wall Street will get another glimpse this week into how those tariffs are affecting price pressures in the US. The Consumer Price Index is set for release on Tuesday, followed by the Producer Price Index on Thursday and retail sales data on Friday. Inflation reaccelerated in June, and economists have warned that the tariffs will likely continue to seep into price data in the coming months. Read more: Live coverage of earnings season The inflation data will be closely watched by the Fed, which is in focus after Trump nominated ally Stephen Miran to a seat on the central bank's board. Investors are pricing in around a 90% chance the Fed cuts rates in September, and a plurality have priced in the equivalent of three cuts by the end of the year.
