RioCan Delivers Strong Second Quarter Performance; Retail Committed Occupancy Climbs to 98.8%, Reflecting Sustained Demand for RioCan's Portfolio

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust (“RioCan" or the "Trust”) (TSX: REI.UN) announced today its financial and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. Based on strong year-to-date leasing results, the Trust raises its guidance on Commercial Same Property NOI growth and reaffirms other 2026 guidance as previously disclosed in its 2025 annual MD&A. Net income per unit - diluted increased by 6.1%; Core FFO per unit - diluted (1) increased by 5.3% 98.8% retail committed occupancy reflects sustained demand in a supply-constrained market 23.1% blended leasing spread highlights the Trust’s ability to unlock embedded mark-to-market opportunities Total Capital Repatriation from RioCan Living – proforma (1),(2) of $1.26 billion, including $280.5 million of dispositions completed in the first half of 2026, nearing completion of $1.3 billion target for 2025 to 2026 “Our second-quarter results reinforce that RioCan's strategy is working," said Jonathan Gitlin, President and CEO of RioCan. “We continue to execute against our Investor Day priorities, unlocking embedded growth across our portfolio and creating value through disciplined leasing, active asset management, and strategic capital allocation. The strength of our fundamentals, the quality of our necessity-based retail portfolio and our full operating independence provides RioCan the flexibility to make decisions based on what's best for each asset, supporting strong performance and durable growth. With significant opportunities ahead, we remain confident in our ability to create long-term value for our unitholders." Financial Highlights Three months ended June 30 Six months ended June 30 2026 2025 2026 2025 Core FFO per unit - diluted (1) $ 0.40 $ 0.38 $ 0.78 $ 0.77 Core FFO ($000s) (1) $ 115,323 $ 111,290 $ 228,273 $ 227,391 Net income per unit - diluted $ 0.52 $ 0.49 $ 0.84 $ 0.21 Net income ($000s) $ 151,237 $ 145,615 $ 244,399 $ 61,459 As at June 30, 2026 December 31, 2025 Net book value per unit $ 24.65 $ 24.37 Core FFO per unit - diluted in the Second Quarter was $0.40, an increase of $0.02 per unit or 5.3% from the same period ended in 2025, reflecting strong underlying operating performance. Growth was primarily driven by an increase in Commercial Net Operating Income (NOI) (1) , including Commercial Same Property NOI growth (1) of 4.3% and the accretive impact of unit repurchases. These gains were partially offset by lower interest income, higher net interest costs and the impact of asset dispositions, net of acquisitions. Net income per unit for the Second Quarter was $0.52, an increase of $0.03 per unit or 6.1% compared to the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to higher fair value gains on investment properties and the accretive impact of unit repurchases. These benefits were partially offset by lower operating income and lower income on equity-accounted investments, mainly a result of lower underlying residential inventory gains. Unitholders' equity increased $68.4 million during the Second Quarter to $7.18 billion primarily driven by investment property fair value gains from organic stabilized NOI growth.

Conditional sales agreements are subject to finalization, due diligence and customary closing conditions and may not be completed as anticipated, within the expected timeframe, or at all. Financial Outlook 2026 (1) 2026 Commercial Same Property NOI growth is expected to be between 4.0% to 4.5%, an increase from the original guidance of 3.5% to 4.0% (2) . Higher growth expectations are driven mainly by leasing performance to date and the leasing pipeline for the balance of the year. The Trust reaffirms other 2026 guidance as previously disclosed in its 2025 annual MD&A. (1) The discussion in this section is qualified in its entirety by the cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements found on Forward-Looking Information section of this News Release. (2) The original financial outlook for 2026 Commercial SPNOI growth of 3.5% to 4.0% reflects expected growth contributions of approximately 75% from contractually secured growth, 20% from mark-to-market growth on renewals and 5% growth from strategic initiatives, based on assumptions of committed occupancy of approximately 97% to 98%, a 90% retention ratio on renewals and blended leasing spreads of approximately 15%. Renewals are based on lease expiries included in the Lease Expiries table in the Property Portfolio Overview - Property Operations - Commercial section of the Trust's December 31, 2025 MD&A. Revised Commercial SPNOI growth of 4.0% to 4.5% for 2026 is based on an increased blended leasing spread assumption of approximately 20%, reflecting a favourable leasing environment and the continued demand for RioCan’s portfolio. All other assumptions in the original financial outlook for 2026 remain unchanged. Selected Operational Highlights (in millions, except where otherwise noted, and percentages) As at June 30, 2026 June 30, 2025 Occupancy - committed (i) 98.1 % 97.5 % Retail occupancy - committed (i) 98.8 % 98.2 % Three months ended June 30 Twelve months ended June 30 2026 2025 2026 2025 Blended leasing spread 23.1 % 20.6 % 23.8 % 19.2 % New leasing spread 40.8 % 51.5 % 45.2 % 36.0 % Renewal leasing spread 20.7 % 17.4 % 19.4 % 16.1 % (i) Includes commercial portfolio only. Excludes income producing properties that are owned through joint ventures and reported under equity-accounted investments. Leasing Spreads: Blended leasing spread of 23.1% in the Second Quarter was supported by new leasing spread of 40.8% and renewal leasing spread of 20.7%. New Leasing Rents: Average net rent per square foot for new leasing was $37.73 per square foot, 60% above the $23.58 average net rent per occupied square foot at quarter end, reflective of RioCan's sustained mark-to-market opportunities. Leasing Activity: Completed 1.0 million square feet of leasing in the Second Quarter, including 0.9 million square feet of renewals. An additional 1.0 million square feet of lease maturities remain in 2026, providing further mark-to-market opportunities. Occupancy: Retail committed occupancy reached a record high for RioCan of 98.8%, with retail in-place occupancy of 98.0%. The committed to in-place spread narrowed by 0.5% from Q1 2026 as tenants were granted possession during the quarter of previously committed space, including Nations Fresh Foods at Oakville Place. Retention Ratio: Retention ratio remains high at 92.5% enabling efficient organic growth with minimal capital outlay. Operating Income: Higher rental revenue, net of rental operating costs for the Second Quarter was offset by lower residential inventory gains and lower fee income resulting in a $10.8 million decrease in the Second Quarter when compared to the same period last year. Commercial Same Property NOI Growth: 4.3% in the Second Quarter, continues to highlight the strength of RioCan’s core retail portfolio and success of RioCan's leasing strategy. Dispositions: For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Trust completed the sale of its interests in four RioCan Living income producing properties: The Underwood Apartments, FourFifty The Well and Bellevue Phase One and Two for aggregate gross proceeds of $280.5 million. The Trust also terminated its forward purchase agreement to acquire Bellevue Phase Three. Subsequent to quarter end to August 4, 2026, the Trust entered into two conditional agreements to sell its interests in two RioCan Living income producing properties for combined estimated gross proceeds of $205.7 million. Total Capital Repatriation from RioCan Living - proforma (2) : $1.26 billion or 96% of the $1.3 billion (2025 to 2026) target on a cumulative basis for the eighteen months ended June 30, 2026. This includes gross proceeds of $687.1 million from the sales of 11 residential rental properties, $364.8 million of gross proceeds from residential inventory sales including RioCan's share in equity-accounted joint ventures (3) and the $205.7 million in estimated gross proceeds from the two conditional sale agreements noted above.
