Slate Grocery REIT Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results
TORONTO, August 06, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Slate Grocery REIT (TSX: SGR.U) (TSX: (the "REIT"), an owner and operator of U.S. grocery- anchored real estate, today announced its financial results and highlights for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. "The strength of our portfolio is reflected in another quarter of healthy same-property NOI growth, supported by sustained demand for our high-quality spaces and consistent double-digit renewal spreads," said Blair Welch, Chief Executive Officer of Slate Grocery REIT. "At the same time, we remain focused on prudently managing the REIT's balance sheet and upcoming debt maturities. Against a backdrop of favorable fundamentals and attractive supply-demand dynamics in the grocery-anchored sector, we believe our portfolio – anchored by below-market rents – is well positioned to drive stable growth and long-term value." For the CEO's letter to unitholders for the quarter, please follow the link here. Highlights Several consecutive quarters of strong leasing volumes at attractive spreads continued to drive same-property Net Operating Income ("NOI") growth of 3.6% or $5.7 million on a trailing twelve-month basis, adjusting for completed redevelopments The REIT completed 423,894 square feet of total leasing in the quarter; renewals1 were completed at 13.8% above expiring rents, and new deals were completed at 28.8% above comparable average in-place rent Portfolio occupancy remained stable at 94.0% as at June 30, 2025 The REIT's average in-place rent of $12.77 per square foot remains well below the market average of $24.002, providing significant runway for continued rent increases The REIT has only $171.4 million of debt maturing through the end of 2026, at the REIT's proportionate interest, which represents just 12.3% of the total debt outstanding and provides a stable outlook for the REIT's near-term financing costs During the second quarter, the REIT refinanced a four-property portfolio for $39.3 million and entered into a credit facility totaling $17.4 million at attractive spreads, highlighting continued demand for high-quality grocery-anchored real estate assets in the lending space Subsequent to quarter end, the REIT amended two of its existing interest rate swaps, extending the total maturity to 2.8 years and achieving a blended weighted average interest rate of 5.0% on a proportionate interest basis The REIT's current portfolio valuation continues to provide significant positive leverage; this attractive valuation, combined with continued NOI growth, is expected to increase portfolio valuation over time The REIT's units continue to trade at a discount to net asset value, presenting a compelling investment opportunity for unitholders looking for an attractive total return (1) As of March 31, 2025, the REIT revised its "Deal Types" methodology.

When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, the REIT cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these statements, as forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, and should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not the times at or by which such performance or results will be achieved.

Additional information about risks and uncertainties is contained in the filings of the REIT with securities regulators. Non-IFRS Measures This news release and accompanying financial statements are based on IFRS® Accounting Standards ("IFRS Accounting Standards"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). We disclose a number of financial measures in this news release that are not measures used under IFRS Accounting Standards, including NOI, same-property NOI, FFO, FFO payout ratio, AFFO, AFFO payout ratio, adjusted EBITDA, fixed charges and the fixed charge coverage ratio, in addition to certain measures on a per unit basis. NOI is defined as rental revenue less operating expenses, prior to straight-line rent, IFRIC 21, Levies ("IFRIC 21") property tax adjustments and adjustments for equity investments. Same-property NOI includes those properties owned by the REIT for each of the current period and the relevant comparative period, excluding those properties under development. FFO is defined as net income adjusted for certain items including transaction/disposition costs, change in fair value of properties, change in fair value of financial instruments, deferred income taxes, unit income (expense), adjustments for equity investments and IFRIC 21 property tax adjustments. AFFO is defined as FFO adjusted for straight-line rental revenue and revenue sustaining capital, leasing costs and tenant improvements. FFO payout ratio and AFFO payout ratio are defined as distributions declared divided by FFO and AFFO, respectively. FFO per WA unit and AFFO per WA unit are defined as FFO and AFFO divided by the weighted average class U equivalent units outstanding, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as NOI less general and administrative expenses at the REIT's proportionate interest. Fixed charges include principal payments and cash interest paid, net at the REIT"s proportionate interest. Fixed charge coverage ratio is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by fixed charges at the REIT's proportionate interest. Net asset value is defined as the aggregate of the carrying value of the REIT's equity, deferred income taxes and exchangeable units of subsidiaries. Proportionate interest represents financial information adjusted to reflect the REIT's equity accounted joint ventures and financial real estate assets and its share of net income (losses) from equity accounted joint ventures and financial real estate assets on a proportionately consolidated basis at the REIT's ownership percentage of the related investment. We utilize these measures for a variety of reasons, including measuring performance, managing the business, capital allocation and the assessment of risk. Descriptions of why these non-IFRS measures are useful to investors and how management uses each measure are included in Management's Discussion and Analysis. We believe that providing these performance measures on a supplemental basis to our IFRS Accounting Standards results is helpful to investors in assessing the overall performance of our businesses in a manner similar to management. These financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for similar financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. We caution readers that these non-IFRS financial measures may differ from the calculations disclosed by other businesses, and as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by others.

Liverpool exploring deal for PSG winger Bradley Barcola
Liverpool have added Bradley Barcola to their list of high-profile attacking targets as they continue to reshape their squad this summer. According to L'Equipe, the Paris Saint-Germain winger has emerged as a serious option for the Premier League champions, who have already made headlines with bold moves in the transfer market. While Alexander Isak remains a top priority, with the Reds submitting an offer between €120 million and €138 million, Newcastle United are unwilling to sell. That stance has forced Liverpool to keep their options open, and Barcola is now firmly on the radar. The 22-year-old was a standout performer in PSG's treble-winning 2024-25 campaign, scoring 22 goals and providing 19 assists in all competitions. Despite facing competition from Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue in the front line, Barcola established himself as one of the club's most influential players. Liverpool are not alone in tracking the French international, who has 14 senior caps, but their long-standing interest could give them an edge. The club have followed his progress since his days at Lyon and may hope their persistence pays off. Barcola joined PSG from Lyon in a €50 million deal two years ago, and the Ligue 1 giants are reluctant to sell. Reports suggest it would take a bid of at least €100 million to tempt them, particularly from a club expected to challenge for the Champions League. Despite spending heavily already this summer, Liverpool remain aggressive in the market. More than £260 million has gone into transfers including Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong. This has been partly offset by a wave of big-money outgoings. Caoimhin Kelleher, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarell Quansah, Luis Diaz and Tyler Morton have all departed, with Darwin Nunez also expected to leave. The combined total in player sales has neared £190 million. Harvey Elliott could add another £50 million if ongoing talks with RB Leipzig reach a conclusion. While reinforcements are also being sought in defence, the club are clearly focused on adding more firepower up front. Should their move for Isak fall through, Barcola appears to be one of the leading alternatives. Another name under consideration is Rodrygo, but with Real Madrid reluctant to sell, the path to Barcola may prove more straightforward. Liverpool's summer window is already historic, and further developments are expected in the coming days.
