BSR REIT Announces Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. and TORONTO, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BSR Real Estate Investment Trust ("BSR", or the "REIT") (NYSE: BSRT) (TSX: BSRT.UN) today announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.

"Our financial results in Q3 reflect continued progress towards our long-term portfolio goals," said Dan Oberste, President and Chief Executive Officer of BSR. "Top line revenue continued its steady growth while FFO and AFFO increased 3.5% and 8.4%, respectively, on a sequential basis. Occupancy remained steady, retention reached record levels and broader operating fundamentals across our markets continued to improve. Beyond our operating results, we achieved an important strategic milestone with our U.S. registration and listing on the NYSE, broadening access to a deeper pool of investors and further advancing the evolution of BSR. As we look ahead, we remain encouraged by the gradually improving outlook for our core Texas markets and the opportunities we see to drive sustainable growth."

Financial Summary for Q3 2026

Given the scale of the REIT's Property Acquisitions and Property Dispositions in 2025, the financial results depicted throughout this document are inherently dissimilar from the comparative year-to-date period. This is due to the stabilized nature of the Property Dispositions and the overall portfolio concentration and occupancy of the Non-Same Community properties as of September 30, 2026.

As the Property Acquisitions continue to improve their financial performance through stabilization, comparisons to prior periods will become more meaningful. However, even once stabilized, there will continue to be some inherent differences when comparing to the prior year results, with the exception of metrics presented on a "per Unit" basis, given that a portion of the Contribution Transaction was recapitalized through the cancellation of 15,000,000 Class B Units.

Total portfolio revenue of $34.5 million for Q3 2026 increased $1.4 million, or 4.3%, compared to $33.1 million for Q3 2025. The increase was primarily the result of $1.6 million of revenue generated from the Property Acquisitions, partially offset by the Same Community properties which reduced revenue by $0.1 million (discussed below). Total revenue resulting from the Property Acquisitions is expected to continue to improve in future periods as the lease-up and operational enhancements continue to progress through stabilization across the portfolio.

Sequentially, total portfolio revenue of $34.5 million for Q3 2026 increased $0.3 million, or 0.9%, compared to $34.2 million for Q2 2026, primarily due to the performance of the Property Acquisitions as they progress toward initial physical stabilization.

Same Community revenue of $26.4 million for Q3 2026 decreased $0.1 million, or 0.6%, compared to $26.5 million for Q3 2025, primarily due to a decrease of $0.2 million from lower average occupancy of 94.1% as of September 30, 2026 from 94.3% a year earlier September 30, 2025 and $0.1 million from lower average monthly in-place rent versus the comparative period. These revenue declines were partially offset by an increase in other property income of $0.2 million primarily related to the continued ramp-up of the REIT's bulk internet initiative.

Sequentially, Same Community revenue of $26.4 million for Q3 2026 was flat compared to Q2 2026.

The following tables summarize the REIT's occupancy, average monthly rate and lease rate change, by MSA as of September 30, 2026 and 2025.

 

The rental change rates shown for Q3 2026 are calculated as the average percentage change over the prior lease for new or renewed leases during the quarter, excluding short term leases. The weighted average monthly rent on in-place leases for the Same Community portfolio was $1,434 per apartment unit as of September 30, 2026 compared to $1,449 as of September 30, 2025. During Q3 2026, excluding short term leases, rental rates for new leases and renewals changed (4.4)% and 2.6% respectively, resulting in a (0.2)% blended change over the prior lease rates. As the wave of supply in our core markets continues to be absorbed with minimal new product expected over at least the near future, management expects the general trajectory of blended rate changes to improve in the coming quarters.

The change in net (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income between Q3 2026 and Q3 2025 is primarily due to non-cash fair value adjustments to derivatives and other financial liabilities and investment properties as well as a reduction in costs of dispositions of investment properties. As such, the net (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income is not considered comparable period over period.

Sequentially, the change in net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) between Q3 2026 and Q2 2026 is primarily due to non-cash fair value adjustments to derivatives and other financial liabilities and investment properties and is not considered comparable.

Total portfolio NOI for Q3 2026 of $17.7 million increased $0.4 million, or 2.4%, from $17.3 million in Q3 2025. The increase was the result of contributions from the Property Acquisitions that increased NOI by $1.1 million, partially offset by Same Community properties which reduced NOI by $0.7 million (discussed below).

Sequentially, total portfolio NOI for Q3 2026 of $17.7 million decreased $0.2 million, or 1.1%, from $17.9 million in Q2 2026. The decrease was primarily the result of the decrease in Same Community NOI (discussed below).

Same Community NOI for Q3 2026 of $13.7 million decreased $0.7 million, or 4.5%, from $14.4 million in Q3 2025 and was attributable to a $0.4 million decrease in real estate tax refunds received, the decrease in Same Community revenue as described above of $0.1 million and higher overhead costs and administrative expenses of $0.3 million, partially offset by lower property insurance of $0.1 million.

Sequentially, Same Community NOI for Q3 2026 of $13.7 million decreased $0.2 million, or 1.5%, from $13.9 million in Q2 2026, primarily attributable to higher repair and maintenance expenses due to seasonality.

The table below summarizes the REIT's revenue and NOI results, by MSA, for Q2 2026 and Q2 2025:

FFO in Q3 2026 was $7.4 million, or $0.19 per Unit, compared to $7.6 million, or $0.19 per Unit, for Q3 2025. The decrease was related to (i) rising interest rates and associated rate resets within the REIT's derivatives portfolio and (ii) higher relative leverage levels (which was primarily related to the timing of Property Acquisitions and Property Dispositions). The decrease in FFO continued to be amplified during the quarter given the initial lease-up period of the August 2025 Acquisition and the resultant relative leverage levels of the REIT following the Property Acquisitions and Property Dispositions. These dynamics should normalize throughout the remainder of 2026 as the new properties continue to perform through stabilization.

Sequentially, FFO in Q3 2026 was $7.4 million, or $0.19 per Unit, compared to $7.1 million, or $0.18 per Unit, for Q2 2026. The increase was primarily related to a $0.5 million decrease in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the decrease in NOI described above.

AFFO was $6.4 million, or $0.16 per Unit for Q3 2026 compared to $6.4 million, or $0.17 per Unit, for Q3 2025. The flat performance reflected the decrease in FFO and an increase in maintenance capital expenditures of $0.1 million, essentially offset by a $0.3 million improvement in the straight-line rental revenue adjustment related to the recognition of lease-up incentives over the life of the individual leases.

Sequentially, AFFO was $6.4 million, or $0.16 per Unit, for Q3 2026 compared to $5.9 million, or $0.15 per Unit, for Q2 2026. The increase was primarily due to lower maintenance capital expenditures of $0.3 million resulting from the timing of projects over the course of the year as well as the increase in FFO (described above).

NAV was $16.10 per Unit as of September 30, 2026 compared to $16.43 per Unit as of December 31, 2025.

Financial Summary for YTD 2026

Total portfolio revenue of $102.6 million for YTD 2026 decreased $7.7 million, or 7.0%, compared to $110.3 million for YTD 2025. The decrease was primarily the result of the Property Dispositions which reduced revenue by $18.5 million and a $0.8 million reduction from Same Community properties (discussed below), partially offset by $11.6 million of revenue generated from Property Acquisitions. Total revenue resulting from the Property Acquisitions is expected to continue to improve in future periods as the lease-up and operational enhancements continue to progress through stabilization across the portfolio.

Same Community revenue of $79.0 million for YTD 2026 decreased $0.8 million, or 1.0%, compared to $79.8 million for YTD 2025, primarily due to a decrease of $0.9 million from lower average occupancy and $0.5 million from lower average monthly in-place rent versus the comparative period. These revenue declines were partially offset by an increase in other property income of $0.6 million, driven by an increase in utility reimbursements and the bulk internet initiative.

The change in net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) between YTD 2026 and YTD 2025 is primarily due to non-cash fair value adjustments to derivatives and other financial liabilities and investment properties as well as a reduction in costs of dispositions of investment properties. As such, the net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) is not considered comparable period over period.

Total portfolio NOI for YTD 2026 of $53.3 million decreased $5.9 million, or 10.0%, from $59.2 million in YTD 2025. The decrease was the result of the Property Dispositions that reduced NOI by $10.5 million and a $1.7 million reduction from Same Community properties (discussed below), partially offset by a contribution of $6.3 million from Property Acquisitions.

Same Community NOI for YTD 2026 of $41.8 million decreased $1.7 million, or 4.0%, from $43.5 million in YTD 2025 and was attributable to the decrease in revenue of $0.8 million (described above), higher real estate taxes (net of refunds received) of $0.6 million, higher overhead costs and administrative expenses of $0.5 million and an increase in utility expenses of $0.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in property insurance expenses of $0.4 million.

The table below summarizes the REIT's revenue and NOI results, by MSA, for YTD 2026 and YTD 2025:

FFO was $21.4 million, or $0.55 per Unit, for YTD 2026 compared to $29.2 million, or $0.64 per Unit, for YTD 2025. The decrease was primarily related to the decrease in NOI described above, as well as higher finance costs of $1.5 million and higher general and administrative expenses of $0.4 million primarily due to legal and professional fees. The higher finance costs are primarily attributable to (i) rising interest rates and associated rate resets within the REIT's derivatives portfolio and (ii) higher relative leverage levels (which was primarily related to the timing of Property Acquisitions and Property Dispositions). The decrease in FFO was amplified during the quarter given the initial lease-up period of the August 2025 Acquisition and the resultant relative leverage levels of the REIT following the Property Acquisitions and Property Dispositions. These dynamics should normalize throughout the remainder of 2026 as the new properties continue to improve their financial performance through stabilization. The reduction in FFO was partially offset on a per Unit basis by the elimination of 15,000,000 Class B Units which were cancelled on April 30, 2025, in conjunction with the Contribution Transaction.

AFFO was $18.9 million, or $0.48 per Unit for YTD 2026 compared to $26.6 million, or $0.58 per Unit, for YTD 2025. The decrease in AFFO was primarily the result of the decrease in FFO and higher maintenance capital expenditures of $0.6 million, partially offset by a $0.7 million change in the straight-line rental revenue adjustment related to the recognition of lease-up incentives over the life of the individual leases. In addition, the reduction in AFFO was partially offset on a per Unit basis by the elimination of 15,000,000 Class B Units discussed above.

2026 Earnings and Same Community Portfolio Guidance

The REIT's 2026 annual guidance is outlined below for FFO per Unit and AFFO per Unit, as well as year-over-year growth in Same Community revenue, property operating expenses and real estate taxes and NOI.

The REIT's 2026 annual guidance is unchanged from the previous quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Structure

As of September 30, 2026, the REIT had liquidity of $59.9 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $4.1 million and $55.8 million available on its Credit Facility (defined below). The REIT can obtain additional liquidity through adding properties to the borrowing base.

The REIT's weighted average contractual interest rate on $378.7 million mortgage notes as of September 30, 2026 was 3.7% (including interest rate swap agreements) and its weighted average term to maturity was 3.1 years.

The Credit Facility is secured by twelve borrowing base properties. The Credit Facility matures on December 8, 2029 with a one-year extension option, at the REIT's election, to extend the maturity to December 8, 2030, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Credit Facility currently bears interest at SOFR at a selected term of one-month, three-months or six-months plus a contractual margin adjustment based on the duration selected ("Adjusted Term SOFR"), as defined in the Credit Facility agreement, plus 1.30% to 1.90% based on meeting certain leverage ratios as defined in the Credit Facility agreement. Alternatively, the REIT has the ability to borrow using the greatest of (i) lender prime rate, (ii) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.5%, or (iii) 1-month SOFR plus 1.0% (the "Base Rate") loans plus a rate equal to 0.30% to 0.90%. The balance outstanding on the Credit Facility was $356.6 million as of September 30, 2026 and $321.4 million as of December 31, 2025, at a variable interest rate of 5.6% and 5.3%, respectively.

Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management of the REIT as of the date of this news release, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. The REIT's estimates, beliefs and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect,  include the various assumptions set forth herein, including, but not limited to, assumptions relating to the REIT's future growth potential, results of operations, demographic and industry trends, no changes in legislative or regulatory matters, the tax laws as currently in effect, stability of the general economy over the intermediate term, lease renewals and rental increases, resident leasing patterns including the ability to re-lease or find new residents, the timing and the ability of the REIT to sell and acquire certain properties, project costs and timing, a continuing trend toward land use intensification at reasonable costs and development yields, including residential development in urban markets, access to equity and debt capital markets to fund, at acceptable costs, future capital requirements and to refinance debts as they mature, the availability of investment opportunities for growth in the REIT's target markets, the valuations to be realized on property sales relative to current IFRS Accounting Standards carrying values, the market price of the Units, and the anticipated benefits of recent property acquisitions and dispositions.

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 are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances surrounding future expectations which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the REIT. The risks and uncertainties that may impact such forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, impediments to the REIT's ability to execute its growth strategies and operations, impediments to the REIT's ability to execute future acquisitions and dispositions, the impact of changing conditions in the U.S. multifamily housing market, increasing competition in the U.S. multifamily housing market, the effect of fluctuations and cycles in the U.S. real estate market, the marketability and value of the REIT's portfolio, changes in the attitudes, financial condition and demand of the REIT's demographic market, fluctuation in interest rates and volatility in financial markets, the impact of U.S. and global tariffs, developments and changes in applicable laws and regulations, the impact of climate change, fluctuations in the economic environment, the environmental, social and governance (ESG) landscape and the employment market (including from the impact of artificial intelligence), and such other factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in the REIT's Management's Discussion and Analysis for Q3 2026 and Annual Information Form dated March 11, 2026 which are both available on the REIT's profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and EDGAR (www.sec.gov).

The financial outlook may not be appropriate for purposes other than to understand management's current expectations relating to the future growth of the REIT, as disclosed in this news release. The REIT and management believe that financial outlook has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management's best estimates and judgments as of the date of this news release. In particular, the REIT's earnings guidance is supported by the following key assumptions: modest Same Community NOI growth driven by modest rate growth and advancement of select real estate adjacent business services internalization efforts, significant Non Same Community NOI growth driven primarily by the lease-up and full year impact of the REIT's Property Acquisitions offset by the Property Dispositions, and higher net costs of borrowing. Please see above under the heading "2026 Earnings and Same Community Portfolio Guidance" for further details. Please note, such assumptions are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, market, regulatory, and other risks and uncertainties as outlined above, many of which are beyond the REIT's control.

The REIT reviews its key assumptions regularly and may change its outlook on a going-forward basis if necessary.

All forward-looking statements and financial outlook are based only on information currently available to the REIT and are made as of the date of this news release.
