Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2025 Results
Operating income attributable to Unitholders
The decrease in operating income in the fourth quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a gain on the acquisition of the remaining
In addition to the items discussed above for the quarter, the annual decrease was further driven by decreased property revenue from dispositions and an increase in interest expense from the 2024 net issuance of senior unsecured notes. This was partially offset by higher net property income from the acquisition of the remaining
Commercial same-asset property cash NOI
The increase in commercial same-asset property cash NOI for the quarter was primarily due to renewals, contractual rent step-ups, and new leasing.
The annual increase was driven by the items discussed above for the quarter as well as increased supplemental rent from modernization investments.
FFO
The increase in FFO in the quarter was primarily due to property revenue growth as discussed above, and increased revenue from management and development services. This was offset in part by higher general and administrative expenses primarily due to increased Unit-based compensation costs driven by higher Unit price.
In addition to the items discussed above for the quarter, the annual increase was further driven by higher net property income from the acquisition of the remaining
AFFO
The increase in AFFO was primarily due to the same factors impacting FFO for both the quarter and on an annual basis.

Portfolio Optimization
Our development program is divided into major development projects with a total estimated cost greater than
Major Development
Crombie currently has one active major development, held within a joint venture, The Marlstone, a 291-unit residential rental project in Halifax, Nova Scotia, under construction. Demolition and existing building upgrades have occurred and construction continues to progress. Pre-leasing began in October 2025 and completion is expected in the second quarter of 2026.
Non-major Development
Non-major developments are shorter in duration and thus carry less overall risk as compared to Crombie's major development pipeline. These projects have the ability to create value while enhancing the overall quality of the portfolio.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, Crombie invested

Non-GAAP Measures and Cautionary Statements
Net property income, commercial same-asset property cash NOI, FFO, AFFO, FFO payout ratio, AFFO payout ratio, debt to trailing 12 months adjusted EBITDA, debt to gross fair value, and interest coverage ratio are non-GAAP financial measures that do not have a standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). These measures as computed by Crombie may differ from similar computations as reported by other entities and, accordingly, may not be comparable to other such entities. Management includes these measures as they represent key performance indicators to management, and it believes certain investors use these measures as a means of assessing Crombie's financial performance. For additional information on these non-GAAP measures see our Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025.
The reconciliations for each non-GAAP measure included in this press release are outlined as follows:
Net Property Income
Management uses net property income as a measure of performance of properties period over period.
Net property income is as follows:

Same-Asset Property Cash NOI
Crombie measures certain performance and operating metrics on a same-asset basis to evaluate the period-over-period performance of those properties owned and operated by Crombie. "Same-asset" refers to those properties that were owned and operated by Crombie for the current and comparative reporting periods. Properties that will be undergoing a redevelopment in a future period and those for which planning activities are underway are also in this category until such development activities commence and/or tenant leasing/renewal activity is suspended. Same‐asset property cash NOI reflects Crombie's proportionate ownership of jointly operated properties (and excludes any properties held in joint ventures).
Management uses net property income on a cash basis (property cash NOI) as a measure of performance, as it reflects the cash generated by properties period over period.Net property income on a cash basis, which excludes non-cash straight-line rent recognition and amortization of tenant incentive amounts, is as follows:

Debt Metrics
Debt to gross fair value is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to that used by other entities.
The fair value included in this calculation reflects the fair value of the properties as at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, based on each property's current use as a revenue-generating investment property. Additionally, as properties are prepared for redevelopment, Crombie considers each property's progress through entitlement in determining the fair value of a property.
