European Residential REIT Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results


(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) TORONTO, Nov. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- European Residential Real Estate Investment Trust ("ERES" or the "REIT") (TSX: ERE) announced today its results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

ERES's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 can be found at or under ERES's profile at SEDAR+ at

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AND HIGHLIGHTS

Strategic Initiatives Update

  • During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, through a number of transactions, the REIT disposed of a total of 1,976 residential suites in the Netherlands and its Belgian and German commercial properties for total gross proceeds, excluding transaction costs and other customary adjustments, of €489.2 million.
  • In connection with the dispositions closed in 2025, the REIT declared a special distribution to Unitholders of €0.90 per Unit, paid in cash in September 2025. The REIT also announced the cessation of its regular monthly cash distributions effective September 2025. The final regular monthly distribution was declared in August 2025, with payment in September 2025.
  • Furthermore, the REIT is continuing to work with its financial and real estate advisors in connection with the sale process for its remaining portfolio. These efforts are being advanced in parallel with certain structural and outstanding tax matters, including the previously disclosed reassessment of certain subsidiaries by the Dutch Tax Authority. There can be no assurance that this process will result in the successful completion of the sale of any portion of the remaining portfolio or that such sales will be completed at, or above, reported IFRS fair value. It is anticipated that the proceeds of any such sales will be distributed to Unitholders after deducting transaction expenses, taxes, wind-up costs and other costs and expenses (which could be significant).

Operating Metrics

  • Same property portfolio Occupied Average Monthly Rents ("Occupied AMR") increased by 4.7%, from €1,288 as at September 30, 2024 to €1,349 as at September 30, 2025, demonstrating the REIT's continued achievement of rental growth.
  • Same property turnover was 2.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, with rental uplift on turnover of 5.7%, compared to rental uplift of 8.7% on same property turnover of 2.0% for the same quarter last year. Same property turnover was 8.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, with rental uplift on turnover of 11.4%, compared to rental uplift of 9.2% on same property turnover of 10.3% for the same period last year.
  • Same property occupancy for the residential properties decreased to 90.8% as at September 30, 2025, compared to 95.4% as at September 30, 2024, primarily related to suites intentionally held vacant to promote value maximization in the context of the REIT's disposition strategy. Same property commercial property occupancy remained stable as at September 30, 2025 at 100.0%, compared to the prior-year period end.
  • Same property Net Operating Income ("NOI") margin decreased by 8.4% and 2.5%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods last year. The decrease in same property NOI margin was primarily driven by an increase in R&M costs and lost rent on suites intentionally held vacant to promote value maximization in the context of the REIT's disposition strategy.

Financial Performance

  • Diluted Funds From Operations ("FFO") per Unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by 67.5% and 57.1%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year, predominantly due to lower total portfolio NOI as a result of dispositions, partially offset by lower interest costs being incurred following repayment of debt with net disposition proceeds received.
  • Diluted Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") per Unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by 73.7% and 58.0%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year, mainly due to the same reasons mentioned above for diluted FFO per Unit.

Financial Position and Liquidity

  • On June 23, 2025, the REIT amended its Revolving Credit Facility to reduce the availability from €125 million to €20 million to better align with the liquidity needs of the REIT and save on standby fees. As a result, liquidity decreased to €24.2 million, compared to €132.8 million as at prior year end.
  • During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the REIT repaid €244.6 million of mortgages payable with a weighted average effective interest rate of 2.01%, including €207.2 million resulting from dispositions.
  • Debt coverage metrics are within covenant thresholds, with interest and debt service coverage ratios of 3.8x and 3.2x, respectively, and adjusted debt to gross book value ratio standing at 31.5%.
  • As at September 30, 2025, the REIT's mortgage profile had a weighted average term to maturity of 1.9 years and a weighted average effective interest rate of 2.91%.

"This quarter marks another meaningful step in our strategic wind-down, as we continue to unlock value from our portfolio and distribute proceeds to our Unitholders," commented Mark Kenney, Chief Executive Officer. "In the third quarter of 2025, we completed nearly €400 million in property sales, bringing our year-to-date disposition total close to €500 million. In keeping with our commitment to return capital to Unitholders, we were also pleased to declare and pay a special cash distribution of €0.90 per Unit, funded directly from disposition proceeds."

"ERES's financial position remained resilient, with a low debt ratio of 32% as of September 30, 2025, and no near-term mortgage maturities, providing us with the flexibility to continue executing on value-maximizing transactions," added Jenny Chou, Chief Financial Officer. "Our diluted FFO per Unit for the quarter was down to €0.013, primarily due to the significant amount of asset sales that have been completed since the prior year period. As we advance our disposition program, ongoing optimization of the property portfolio and prudent financial stewardship will remain central to our decision-making."

"Looking ahead, our primary focus continues to revolve around surfacing the full value of the REIT's remaining portfolio, and maximizing distributions of capital proceeds to Unitholders," continued Mark Kenney, Chief Executive Officer. "To that end, we're actively exploring several potential strategic alternatives, including individual asset transactions that present compelling value opportunities in the near-term. While the wind-down process involves complexity and uncertainty, we will continue to act in the best interests of all Unitholders, and provide timely updates as developments unfold."

1Excluding service charge income and expense, the total portfolio NOI margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 72.8% and 79.8%, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 - 84.1% and 84.0%, respectively).

Total portfolio operating revenues decreased by 57.1% and 53.3%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods last year. Total portfolio NOI decreased by 64.4% and 57.4%, respectively, from the same periods last year. The decreases in total portfolio operating revenues and NOI were primarily due to decrease in revenue from investment properties as a result of properties disposed of since September 30, 2024, partially offset by the increases in revenues from indexation and turnover.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the NOI margin on the total portfolio decreased to 65.2% from 78.5% for the comparable prior year quarter (excluding service charges, total portfolio NOI margin decreased to 72.8% from 84.1% for the comparable prior year quarter). For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the NOI margin on the total portfolio decreased to 71.8% from 78.6% for the comparable period (excluding service charges, total portfolio NOI margin decreased to 79.8% from 84.0% for the comparable period). The decrease in the NOI margins was predominantly due to increases in R&M costs and realty taxes as a percentage of total operating revenues. Service charge expenses are fully recoverable from tenants via service charge income and therefore have a nil net impact on NOI.

The following table reconciles same property NOI and NOI from dispositions and assets held for sale to total NOI, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024.

1Same property portfolio for NOI includes all properties continuously owned by the REIT since December 31, 2023, and excludes properties disposed of as at September 30, 2025. Same property portfolio for NOI includes a weighted average number of 1,035 residential suites and 106,358 sq. ft. of commercial GLA for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and a weighted average number of 1,037 residential suites and 106,358 sq. ft. of commercial GLA for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 - 1,038 residential suites and 106,358 sq. ft. of commercial GLA).
2Excluding service charge income and expense, the same property portfolio NOI margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 77.8% and 81.7%, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 - 84.6% and 83.6%, respectively).

The same property NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by 9.1% and 2.2%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the NOI margin on the same property portfolio decreased to 67.8% from 76.2% for the comparable prior year quarter (excluding service charges, same property NOI margin decreased to 77.8% from 84.6% for the comparable prior year quarter). For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the NOI margin on the same property portfolio decreased to 73.4%, compared to 75.9% for the comparable period (excluding services charges, same property NOI margin decreased to 81.7% compared to 83.6% for the comparable period). The decrease in same property NOI and NOI margins for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the comparable periods, was primarily due to an increase in R&M costs and lost rent on suites intentionally held vacant to promote value maximization in the context of the REIT's disposition strategy.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations

FFO is a measure of operating performance based on the funds generated by the business before reinvestment or provision for other capital needs. AFFO is a supplemental measure which adjusts FFO for costs associated with non-discretionary capital expenditures and leasing costs. FFO and AFFO as presented are in accordance with the most recent recommendations of the Real Property Association of Canada ("REALpac"), with the exception of certain adjustments made to the REALpac defined FFO, which relate to (i) gain from Unit Options forfeited as a result of restructuring, trustee retirement and senior management termination, (ii) mortgage repayment costs, (iii) amortization related to the accelerated vesting of RURs, (iv) tax related to tax authority audits. FFO and AFFO may not, however, be comparable to similar measures presented by other real estate investment trusts or companies in similar or different industries. Management considers FFO and AFFO to be important measures of the REIT's operating performance. Please refer to "Basis of Presentation and Non-IFRS Measures" within this press release for further information.

A reconciliation of net loss and comprehensive loss to FFO is as follows:

5 Represents Unit-based compensation financial liabilities written off due to Unit Options forfeited as a result of restructuring, trustee retirement and senior management termination.
6Includes Class B LP Units and the dilutive impact of unexercised Unit Options and RURs.

Diluted FFO per Unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by €0.027 (67.5%) and €0.068 (57.1%), respectively, from the same periods last year, primarily due to lower total portfolio NOI as a result of dispositions, partially offset by lower interest costs being incurred following the repayment of debt with net disposition proceeds received.

The table below illustrates a reconciliation of the REIT's FFO and AFFO:

1Leasing cost reserve is based on annualized 10-year forecast of external leasing costs on the commercial properties.
2Includes Class B LP Units and the dilutive impact of unexercised Unit Options and RURs.

Diluted AFFO per Unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by €0.028 (73.7%) and €0.065 (58.0%), respectively, from the same periods last year, mainly due to the same reasons mentioned above for diluted FFO per Unit.

As a result of the termination of regular monthly distributions following the payment of the regular monthly distribution of August 2025, the REIT has discontinued disclosure of the FFO and AFFO payout ratios.

Net Asset Value

Net Asset Value ("NAV") represents total Unitholders' equity per the REIT's consolidated balance sheets, adjusted to include or exclude certain amounts in order to provide what management considers to be a key measure of the residual value of the REIT to its Unitholders as at the reporting date. NAV is therefore used by management on both an aggregate and per Unit basis to evaluate the net asset value attributable to Unitholders, and changes thereon based on the execution of the REIT's strategy. While NAV is calculated based on items included in the consolidated financial statements or supporting notes, NAV itself is not a standardized financial measure under IFRS and may not be comparable to similarly termed financial measures disclosed by other real estate investment trusts or companies in similar or different industries. Please refer to the "Basis of Presentation and Non-IFRS Measures" section within this press release for further information.

As at September 30, 2025, ERES's available liquidity decreased to €24.2 million, compared to €132.8 million as at the prior year end, due to the amendment to the REIT's Revolving Credit Facility agreement, which reduced the availability from €125.0 million to €20.0 million to better align with the liquidity needs of the REIT and save on standby fees. As at September 30, 2025, the REIT's mortgage profile had a weighted average term to maturity of 1.9 years and fixed interest payment terms for all of its mortgages at a weighted average effective interest rate of 2.91%. This is further reinforced by compliant debt coverage metrics, with debt and interest service coverage ratios of 3.2x and 3.8x, respectively, and adjusted debt to gross book value ratio well within its target range at 31.5%.

Management aims to maintain an optimal degree of debt to gross book value of the REIT's assets, depending on a number of factors at any given time. Capital adequacy is monitored against investment and debt restrictions contained in the REIT's sixth amended and restated declaration of trust dated January 7, 2025 (the "Declaration of Trust") and the amended and restated credit agreement dated June 23, 2025 between the REIT and one Canadian chartered bank, providing access to up to €20.0 million with an accordion feature to increase the limit a further €25.0 million upon satisfaction of conditions set out in the agreement (the "Revolving Credit Facility").

The REIT manages its overall liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient available credit facility and available cash on hand to fund its ongoing operational and capital commitments.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and up to the month of August 2025, the REIT declared monthly distributions of €0.005 per Unit, which were paid to Unitholders of record on each record date, on or about the 15th day of the month following the record date (three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 - €0.010 per Unit per month). As a result of its closed dispositions in 2025, the REIT declared a special distribution of €0.90 per Unit, payable to the Unitholders of record on September 22, 2025, with payment on September 25, 2025. The REIT also terminated its regular monthly cash distributions effective September 2025, and the final regular monthly distribution was for the month of August 2025, with payment in September 2025.

The REIT had a Distribution Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP"), which allowed holders of REIT Units or Class B LP Units ("Eligible Unitholders") to choose to have all or a portion of the REIT's cash monthly distributions automatically reinvested in additional REIT Units. This DRIP was terminated on January 16, 2025 and as a result, the DRIP is not available for the REIT's monthly distributions paid on and after January 16, 2025.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NON-IFRS MEASURES

Unless otherwise stated, all amounts included in this press release are in thousands of Euros ("€"), the functional currency of the REIT. The REIT's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the notes thereto for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Financial information included within this press release does not contain all disclosures required by IFRS, and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the REIT's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and MD&A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, which are available on the REIT's website at and on SEDAR+ at

Consistent with the REIT's management framework, management uses certain financial measures to assess the REIT's financial performance, which are not in accordance with IFRS ("Non-IFRS Measures"). Since these Non-IFRS Measures are not recognized under IFRS, they may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other issuers. The REIT presents Non-IFRS Measures because management believes Non-IFRS Measures are relevant measures to evaluate the REIT's performance and financial condition. The Non-IFRS Measures should not be construed as alternatives to the REIT's financial position, net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of the REIT's performance or the sustainability of distributions. For full definitions of these measures, please refer to "Non-IFRS Measures" in Section I and Section IV of the REIT's MD&A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Where not otherwise disclosed, reconciliations for certain Non-IFRS Measures included within this press release are provided below.

Adjusted Debt and Adjusted Debt Ratio

The REIT's Declaration of Trust requires compliance with certain financial covenants, including the Ratio of Adjusted Debt to Gross Book Value. Management uses Adjusted Total Debt as defined by Declaration of Trust and the Ratio of Adjusted Debt to Gross Book Value as indicators in assessing if the debt level maintained is sufficient to provide adequate cash flows for distributions.

A reconciliation from total debt is as follows:

3Gross Book Value is defined by the REIT's Declaration of Trust as the gross book value of the REIT's assets as per the REIT's financial statements, determined on a fair value basis for investment properties and assets held for sale.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, Amortization and Fair Value

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, Amortization and Fair Value ("EBITDAFV") is calculated as prescribed in the REIT's Revolving Credit Facility for the purpose of determining the REIT's Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio, and is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Unitholders, reversing, where applicable, income taxes, interest expense, depreciation expense, amortization expense, impairment, adjustments to fair value, transaction costs, costs associated with repayment of mortgages and other adjustments as permitted in the REIT's Revolving Credit Facility. Management believes Adjusted EBITDAFV is useful in assessing the REIT's ability to service its debt, finance capital expenditures and provide for distributions to its Unitholders.

A reconciliation of net (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDAFV is as follows:

Debt Service Coverage Ratio

The Debt Service Coverage Ratio is defined as Adjusted EBITDAFV less cash taxes, divided by the sum of interest expense (including on mortgages payable, Revolving Credit Facility and promissory notes) and all regularly scheduled principal amortization repayments made with respect to indebtedness during the period (other than any balloon, bullet or similar principal payable at maturity or which repays such indebtedness in full). The Debt Service Coverage Ratio is calculated as prescribed in the REIT's Revolving Credit Facility, and is based on the trailing four quarters. Management believes the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is useful in determining the ability of the REIT to service the principal and interest requirements of its outstanding debt.
