“Dream Industrial delivered another consecutive quarter of strong results, with over 10% comparative properties NOI growth and 8% FFO per Unit growth. Leasing momentum has been robust, with over 3 million square feet transacted across our wholly-owned portfolio year-to-date at a 21% weighted average rental spread,” said Alexander Sannikov, President & Chief Executive Officer of Dream Industrial REIT. “We have executed on our capital deployment plan for 2026, with over $550 million of acquisitions completed, under contract or in exclusivity since the beginning of the year across our wholly-owned portfolio at accretive returns, including the assets from Chancerygate, which expands our footprint into the U.K. multi-let industrial sector and accelerates our private ventures strategy in Europe. We are excited to announce our first distribution increase since 2013, which is supported by our differentiated strategic growth pillars and strong year-to-date operating and financial performance. This increase is consistent with our objective of providing recurring distribution increases as part of growing the free cash flow retained and reinvested into our business.”

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

ORGANIC GROWTH

• Solid pace of CP NOI (constant currency basis)⁽¹⁾ growth – CP NOI (constant currency basis) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was $103.7 million and $201.4 million, respectively. For the same periods in 2025, CP NOI (constant currency basis) was $94.0 million and $184.9 million, respectively. This represents an increase of 10.3% and 8.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the prior year comparative periods.
  
  The Canadian portfolio posted year-over-year CP NOI (constant currency basis) growth of 14.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, driven by 7.8%, 27.2% and 17.2% CP NOI growth in Ontario, Québec and Western Canada, respectively. Overall, in-place base rents for the Canadian portfolio increased by 9.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior year quarter.
  
  In Europe, year-over-year CP NOI (constant currency basis) increased by 5.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The increase was driven by higher rental rates on new and renewed leases and completed intensification projects, in addition to local consumer price indices.

• Continued growth in net rental income for the quarter – Net rental income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was $102.4 million and $200.1 million, respectively, representing an increase of $7.7 million or 8.1%, and $13.7 million or 7.4%, respectively, relative to the comparative prior year periods. For the quarter, year-over-year net rental income increased by 16.3% in Ontario, 21.3% in Québec, 22.6% in Western Canada, and 11.3% in Europe, excluding disposed investment properties. The increase was mainly driven by strong CP NOI (constant currency basis) growth and acquisitions over the past year, completion and lease-up at the Trust’s development projects and growth in net property management income.

• Stable occupancy levels – The Trust’s in-place occupancy for its Canadian portfolio was 96.0% as at June 30, 2026 compared to 94.0% as at June 30, 2025, primarily driven by the lease up of several vacancies in Québec and its recently completed 20-acre development in Alberta.
  
  The Trust’s in-place occupancy for its European portfolio was 92.5% as at June 30, 2026 compared to 94.1% as at June 30, 2025, primarily driven by the acquisition of a 163,000 square foot vacant asset last quarter in the Netherlands as part of the Trust’s value-add strategy, and an anticipated 273,000 square foot vacancy in Spain. The leasing pipeline at the vacancy in Spain remains strong with multiple ongoing negotiations for the entire vacancy.
  
  The Trust’s in-place occupancy across its wholly-owned and managed portfolio (at the Trust’s share) was 94.2% as at June 30, 2026, in line with the comparative prior year quarter.

• Continued strong leasing momentum at attractive rental spreads – Since the beginning of the year through July 31, 2026, the Trust transacted on 3.3 million square feet of leases across its wholly-owned portfolio at a weighted average rental rate spread of 21.1% over prior or expiring rents, including 1.1 million square feet of new leasing activity. Across the broader industrial platform, the Trust has signed approximately 2.4 million square feet of new leases on existing vacancies and recently completed developments, reinforcing continued strong leasing momentum across the Trust’s operating markets.
  
  From April 1, 2026 through to July 31, 2026, the Trust has transacted over 2.0 million square feet of leases across its wholly-owned portfolio at a weighted average rental rate spread of 15.1% over prior or expiring rents.

DEVELOPMENT LEASING UPDATE

The Trust continues to see strong leasing momentum across its development pipeline, both within its wholly-owned portfolio and strategic private ventures. During the quarter, the Trust signed over 370,000 square feet of leases at projects in the Greater Toronto Area (“GTA”) and the Kitchener-Waterloo Corridor (“KWC”) across its broader industrial portfolio. Notably, the Trust signed a 265,000 square foot lease with a blue-chip leader in the global automotive sector in Cambridge, Ontario for a 10-year term, which will bring the property’s occupancy to 100% starting in Q3 2026, achieving an unlevered yield on cost of 6.7%.

Subsequent to the quarter, the Trust entered into a binding lease agreement for 127,000 square feet at its wholly-owned, recently completed GTA East redevelopment project in Whitby. The lease commences in Q4 2026. Additionally, the Trust is in advanced negotiations for another 110,000 square foot lease at the property, which would lift occupancy to over 60%.

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS UPDATE

The Trust continues to deploy the proceeds from the $805 million portfolio recapitalization in connection with the formation of the DCI JV.

During the quarter, the Trust completed $115.9 million of acquisitions of urban infill mid-bay industrial assets across its wholly-owned portfolio, totaling 819,000 square feet through acquisitions in Calgary, Germany, and the Netherlands. Subsequent to the quarter, the Trust completed $193.1 million of acquisitions across Germany for the wholly-owned portfolio, totaling 1.1 million square feet, including 11 assets located across major population centres in Germany, including Frankfurt and Berlin.

The Trust has an additional $140 million of acquisitions under contract or in exclusive negotiations across Canada and Europe that are expected to close in Q3 2026 within its wholly-owned portfolio, subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence.

These acquisitions further increase the Trust's exposure to well-located logistics and industrial markets with strong transportation connectivity, embedded rental growth opportunities and attractive long-term fundamentals. Combined, these acquisitions total approximately $450 million in gross asset value and are being acquired at a going-in yield of approximately 6.2% and with a mark-to-market spread of 7.0%.

During the quarter, the Trust completed the previously announced second tranche portfolio sale comprising five industrial assets totaling 1.6 million square feet across Ontario, Québec, and Western Canada to the DCI JV for net proceeds of $353 million.

STRATEGIC PRIVATE VENTURES UPDATE

The Trust continues to actively deploy capital alongside its partners, adding high-quality industrial product within its private ventures while further scaling its property management and leasing platform. Since the beginning of 2025, the Trust's private ventures have completed over $660 million of acquisitions. Net property management and other income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $4.0 million, representing an increase of $0.9 million or 27.7% compared to the comparative prior year quarter.

During the quarter, the DSI JV acquired a four-building industrial portfolio totaling 618,000 square feet located in the Foothills industrial node in Calgary, Alberta for a purchase price of $81.3 million ($8.1 million at the Trust's share). In addition, the venture completed the sale of a non-strategic asset located in the GTA West, Ontario, for $18.6 million or approximately $519 per square foot during the quarter.

Subsequent to the quarter, the DCI JV acquired a 227,000 square foot building located in Calgary, Alberta for a purchase price of $35.8 million ($3.6 million at the Trust's share).

CHANCERYGATE TRANSACTION AND EUROPEAN VENTURE UPDATE

Subsequent to the quarter, the Trust announced the acquisition of a portfolio of U.K. and European industrial development assets and co-investment interests from Chancerygate Limited ("Chancerygate"), a U.K.-based industrial developer and asset manager that is being acquired by Dream Unlimited Corp. ("Dream Unlimited"). The total consideration is approximately £78 million ($147 million) for the wholly-owned portfolio and co-investment interests across Chancerygate's managed ventures, gross of certain in-place debt on the wholly-owned portfolio, plus an additional £25 million ($47 million) estimated to complete the developments. The Trust expects to realize an unlevered yield on cost of approximately 8% on the wholly-owned projects upon stabilization, and achieve a stabilized cap rate of over 7.5% on the minority stake in the joint ventures. The Trust intends to fund the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand, assumed debt and its unsecured revolving credit facility. The transaction is expected to close in August 2026.

Additionally, together with Dream Unlimited and Chancerygate, the Trust has advanced negotiations to form a new programmatic joint venture with a leading global institutional investor. The joint venture is expected to pursue acquisition and development opportunities in the multi-let industrial (“MLI”) sector across Europe with a target gross asset value of approximately €500 million ($800 million).

CAPITAL STRATEGY AND DISTRIBUTION INCREASE

The Trust continues to maintain significant financial flexibility as it executes on its strategic initiatives. The Trust’s proportion of secured debt⁽¹⁸⁾ was 5.5% of total assets and represents 14.9% of total debt⁽¹⁹⁾. The Trust’s unencumbered asset pool⁽¹³⁾ totalled $5.7 billion as at June 30, 2026, representing 83.3% of the Trust’s total investment properties value as at June 30, 2026.

During the quarter, the Trust repaid its maturing $200 million Series E Green Bonds and closed on the issuance of $200 million of Series H unsecured debentures at an all-in interest rate of 4.150% per annum, maturing on April 22, 2031. Concurrent with the Series H debenture closing, the Trust entered into forward cross-currency interest rate swap arrangements to swap the proceeds to euros and lowered the effective fixed interest rate to 4.003% per annum.

Following the sale of the second tranche of assets to the DCI JV at the end of the second quarter for net proceeds of $353 million, the Trust partially repaid its unsecured revolving credit facility, with the remaining proceeds used to fund acquisitions completed subsequent to the sale.

The Trust ended Q2 2026 with available liquidity⁽¹⁴⁾ of $746.8 million, including $197.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, and with an additional $250 million that could be exercised through the accordion on its unsecured revolving credit facility. The Trust’s net total debt-to-normalized adjusted EBITDAFV ratio⁽¹⁰⁾ was 6.6x and net total debt-to-total assets (net of cash and cash equivalents) ratio⁽⁹⁾ was 35.8% as at June 30, 2026.

Beginning with its September 15, 2026 distribution, the Trust will increase its distribution by 2.5% to an annualized rate of $0.7175 per Unit.

“We ended the quarter with approximately $750 million of available liquidity, leverage of 35.8%, and lowered our FFO payout ratio to 63%. One of our top priorities is deploying the proceeds of the initial portfolio sale to the DCI JV towards our strategic priorities in a manner that is accretive to FFO per unit and our total return profile. We are well-positioned to continue allocating capital towards initiatives that support the long-term growth of the business and ongoing value creation for our unitholders,” said Lenis Quan, Chief Financial Officer of Dream Industrial REIT.

These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general and local economic and business conditions; employment levels; mortgage and interest rates and regulations; inflation; risks related to a potential economic slowdown in certain of the jurisdictions in which we operate and the effect inflation and any such economic slowdown may have on market conditions and lease rates; risks that the Trust’s operations may be affected by adverse global market, economic and political conditions and other events beyond our control, including risks related to the imposition of duties, tariffs and other trade restrictions and their impacts; uncertainties around the timing and amount of future financings; uncertainties surrounding public health crises and epidemics; geopolitical events, including disputes between nations, war and international sanctions; the financial condition of tenants; leasing risks, including those associated with the ability to lease vacant space; rental rates and the strength of rental rate growth on future leasing; and interest and currency rate fluctuations.
