"Our shopping centre portfolio continues to perform well with strong rental revenue growth and robust leasing momentum," said Patrick Sullivan, President and Chief Operating Officer. "Tenant demand across our portfolio is very strong, including demand for our HBC boxes. We are in advanced discussions with strong covenant, high-quality national retailers, including large format tenants and anticipate tenants to take possession early in 2026."
“With the October acquisition of Promenade St-Bruno, Primaris’ high quality acquisitions now exceed $3.3 billion since 2021. All of these acquisitions offer strong NOI growth potential and significant excess land,” said Alex Avery, Chief Executive Officer. “We have materially expanded and enhanced the overall quality of our enclosed shopping centre portfolio, driving the portfolio’s proforma annual same store sales productivity to $800 per square foot. Disciplined capital allocation remains a core focus for us, while driving strong financial and operating results, delivering transformative changes to our portfolio."
“Primaris’ differentiated financial model combined with strong growth in same-property NOI, occupancy, leasing spreads and recovery ratios, and expected continued strong growth across these metrics, supports our fifth annual distribution increase,” said Rags Davloor, Chief Financial Officer. “REITs with track records of consistent annual distribution increases have historically delivered above average total returns and been included in exclusive indices that focus on dividend growers.”
2025 Financial Outlook
Disciplined capital allocation is a key pillar to Primaris' strategy. To this end, Primaris established certain targets for managing the Trust's financial condition and maintaining a conservative capital structure (see Section 3, "Business Overview and Strategy" of the management's discussion and analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 (the "MD&A")).
Guidance: In addition to its established targets, Primaris has provided guidance for the full year of 2025 in the Annual MD&A. This guidance has been subsequently updated, most recently, in the press release dated October 6, 2025 relating to the Trust's acquisition of Promenades St-Bruno. The most recent previously published guidance for the full year of 2025 is reproduced below and has been updated to reflect management's current expectations based on the most recent information available to management.

1 Per weighted average diluted unit. Weighted average units outstanding assumes the exchange of Exchangeable Preferred LP Units for Trust Units. See Section 10.6, "Unit Equity and Distributions" of the MD&A.
2 Properties owned throughout the entire 21 months ended September 30, 2025, excluding properties under development or major redevelopment, are referred to as "Same Properties". Per unit calculations separate the impact of change in contribution from the change in the weighted average diluted units outstanding.
3 The definition of FFO**, as provided by REALPAC, allows for the changes in fair value of financial instruments which are economically effective hedges to be excluded from the calculation of FFO**. The portion of the fair value change to derivatives which did not relate to an economically effective hedge negatively impacted fair value in the period ending September 30, 2024.
FFO** for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $0.024 per unit, or 5.7%, higher than the same period of the prior year. The increase was driven by NOI** from Acquisitions of $0.242 per unit. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in NOI** of $0.059 per unit from the disposition activity, higher net interest and other financing charges of $0.046 per unit, a $0.011 per unit decrease in NOI** from Same Properties and a $0.092 per unit decrease due to the net change in the weighted average units diluted outstanding (unit issuances for the Acquisitions partially offset by NCIB activity).
FFO** per unit for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was negatively impacted $0.016 per unit by the disclaimed HBC leases. FFO** for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was negatively impacted $0.016 per unit due to the impact of settling an unhedged derivative.
The FFO Payout Ratio** for the three months ended September 30, 2025 of 52.6%. Calculating the ratio as if all of the Exchangeable Preferred LP Units were already exchanged into Trust Units would result in a FFO Payout Ratio of 48.5%, compared to the targeted range of 45% to 50%.
Same Properties Cash NOI** for the three month ended September 30, 2025 was $0.4 million, or 0.7%, higher than the same period of the prior year driven by the performance of the Same Properties shopping centres. The increase in the Same Properties shopping centres' Cash NOI** was primarily driven by higher revenues from base rent and specialty leasing revenue, partially offset by declines in percentage rent in lieu of base rent and net recoveries driven by higher expenses.
The Same Properties shopping centres Cash NOI** was negatively impacted by an adjustment to a prior quarter operating cost accrual for $0.6 million, or 1.0% change over the same period in 2024. The growth was also negatively impacted by $0.8 million from the disclaimed HBC locations. Same Properties growth would have been 1.7% adjusting for the operating cost accrual, and 3.1% adjusting for both the accrual and the impact from HBC.
Redevelopment projects contributed $0.8 million of incremental rent to the portfolio for the three months ended September 30, 2025 (see Section 7.4, "Redevelopment and Development" of the MD&A).
The table below illustrates the composition of AFFO** and the drivers of the change for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024.

Occupancy and Leasing Results
Primaris’ leasing activities are focused on driving value by actively managing the tenant and merchandising mix at its investment properties.
In-place occupancy decreased 1.6% from September 30, 2024 to 91.8% at September 30, 2025. In-place occupancy for Same Properties decreased 1.1% from September 30, 2024 to 92.0% at September 30, 2025. The disclaimed HBC leases negatively impacted occupancy by approximately 3.7% compared to December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024.
Average in-place occupancy is calculated by averaging the occupied square feet and total GLA for each month in the measurement period. Same Properties average in-place occupancy rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 92.3%, an increase of 0.2% from September 30, 2024. However, the Same Properties average in-place occupancy rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased 1.9% compared with September 30, 2024 due to the impact of the disclaimed HBC leases.

On October 10, 2025, Primaris acquired Promenades St-Bruno in Montreal, Quebec for aggregate consideration of:

In accordance with the terms of the acquisition, Primaris elected to satisfy the equity portion of the consideration by delivering to the vendor the net proceeds from its bought deal offering of 11,448,559 Trust Units, comprising an initial issuance of 10,000,000 Trust Units that closed on October 10, 2025, and an additional 1,448,599 Trust Units issued following the exercise of the over-allotment option, which closed on October 21, 2025, representing the aggregate number of Trust Units corresponding to the equity portion of the purchase price. As a result, $482.1 million cash consideration was paid to the vendor.
On October 10, 2025, Primaris issued 10,000,000 Trust Units at a price of $14.75 per unit and on October 21, 2025, the over-allotment of 1,448,599 Trust Units was exercised. Net proceeds of $162,112 formed partial consideration for the acquisition of Promenades St-Bruno.

Non-GAAP Measures
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 consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (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 GAAP. Furthermore, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other real estate entities and should not be construed as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. A definition of each non-GAAP measure used herein and an explanation of management's reasons as to why it believes the measure is useful to investors can be found in the section entitled “Non-GAAP Measures” of 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.
Use of Operating Metrics
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 store sales productivity, see Section 8.4, "Tenant Sales" of the MD&A. These supplementary financial measure are denoted in this news release by the suffix “*”
Primaris also uses certain non-financial operating metrics to describe its portfolio and portfolio operation 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 8 properties held in co-ownerships (see Section 7.2, "Co-ownership Arrangements" of the MD&A).
