TORONTO -- (Business Wire)

DREAM IMPACT TRUST (TSX: MPCT.UN) ("Dream Impact", "we", "our" or the "Trust") today reported its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 ("second quarter").

"Through the first half of the year, we have made meaningful progress advancing our key multi-family development projects," said Michael Cooper, Portfolio Manager. "Construction continues at 49 Ontario and we are encouraged by the progress to date. We are also preparing for the start of Quayside, our next milestone project, with construction anticipated to commence by year-end. Our other projects, including Cherry House and Odenak, are nearing completion. These developments are being financed with long-term, government-affiliated debt, which provides stability in the current real estate environment. We are also pleased with the significant milestone in the quarter at Scarborough Junction. With the new partnership, the project's debt was repaid and resulted in a nearly $8 million increase in fair value, while significantly de-risking the development. We remain focused on addressing our near-term capital priorities as we continue to execute on our strategic plan."

During the second quarter, an external partner acquired a 50% ownership interest in the Scarborough Junction development. While the Trust's ownership interest in the intermediary partnership remained unchanged, its effective indirect interest in the development was reduced to 9%. In connection with this transaction, the Trust recognized a fair value gain of $7.8 million on the development. Scarborough Junction is a mixed-use development situated adjacent to the Scarborough GO Station. Phase 1 of the development is expected to comprise approximately 1,700 rental units with 20% designated as affordable at below-market rents for a period of 40 years, as well as approximately 52,000 sf of community infrastructure. Construction is expected to begin in 2027 with first occupancies anticipated for 2030.

As at June 30, 2026, the Trust's completed multi-family portfolio comprised 1,037 units (at the Trust's share). Assets currently under construction are continuing to progress, including Cherry House at Canary Landing (West Don Lands Blocks 3/4/7), an 855-unit development that is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Occupancy commenced in late 2025, with 48% of units occupied as at July 31, 2026. Over the next five years, the Trust expects to complete over 1,900 additional units (at the Trust's share) in its multi-family portfolio. The pipeline includes Quayside, where the Trust, in partnership with Dream Impact Fund, Waterfront Toronto and the City of Toronto, expects to deliver over 400 units at the Trust's share in Phase 1, with construction anticipated to commence by year-end. Upon completion, the Trust's pipeline of multi-family assets under development are expected to drive higher NOI as they become stabilized.

Selected financial and operating metrics for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are summarized below:

During the second quarter, the Trust recognized a net loss of $3.0 million compared to $16.5 million in the prior year. The year over year improvement was primarily driven by stronger leasing from recently stabilized multi-family properties, and favourable net fair value adjustments, including a gain on the Trust's investment in the Scarborough Junction development. These improvements were partially offset by higher shared service and asset management fees, reduced commercial NOI as a result of the commencement of 49 Ontario construction, and condo occupancies at Brightwater recognized in the comparative period.

Liquidity Update
At June 30, 2026, the Trust had total cash on hand of $5.1 million and a debt-to-asset value⁽²⁾ of 37.2%, compared to 36.2% at March 31, 2026. The change in debt-to-asset value was primarily driven by draws on the Dream loan, partially offset by a pay down on the promissory note and net fair value gains across the portfolio.

At June 30, 2026, the Trust's debt profile was comprised of $211.3 million of consolidated debt payable and $1,000.1 million of debt at its proportionate share from equity accounted investments. Included in this balance is $81.6 million of debt, at the Trust's share, that matures in 2026. The debt balance maturing in 2026 decreased by $100.5 million since March 31, 2026, primarily from the extension of the land loan at Victory Silos, the repayment of the land loan at Scarborough Junction, and an extension on mortgages maturing in the period. The Trust continues to work with its lenders on the remaining debt due in the near term, which includes mortgages and underlying debt on certain passive investments.

For further details refer to the "Capital Resources and Liquidity" section of the Trust's management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

Recurring Income
During the second quarter, the Trust's recurring income segment recognized a net loss of $4.3 million compared to $11.8 million in the prior year. The improvement in earnings was driven by NOI contributions from the Trust's multi-family portfolio, the fluctuation of fair value adjustments year over year, and lower interest expense from recently sold commercial assets. This was partially offset by reduced NOI contribution from 49 Ontario which commenced demolition at the end of 2025.

Multi-family rental properties
During the second quarter, same property NOI⁽¹⁾ was $3.5 million compared to $2.7 million in the prior year. The increase in NOI was primarily driven by completed multi-family properties as these assets have achieved or are near stabilization. This includes Maple House (97% occupied), Aalto II (93% occupied) and Birch House (98% occupied).

Debt from the Trust's multi-family portfolio presented within this segment carries a weighted average term of 3.2 years at a weighted average interest rate of 2.7%.

Commercial
During the second quarter, NOI from commercial properties was $1.3 million compared to $1.8 million in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the transfer of 49 Ontario to the development segment as demolition started at the end of 2025. Partially offsetting this was improved leasing activity at 34 Madison and Brightwater Retail year over year.

Development
During the second quarter, the Trust recognized net income of $5.7 million from its development segment compared to a net loss of $1.9 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to the fluctuation of fair value adjustments including a fair value gain on the Trust's investment in the Scarborough Junction development. This was partially offset by higher condo occupancies at Brightwater in the prior year and interest expense recognized in earnings from completed units at Cherry House. In accordance with the Trust's accounting policy, Cherry House will be transferred to the recurring income segment upon substantial completion of construction.

Other
In the second quarter, the other segment reported a net loss of $4.4 million compared to $2.8 million in the prior year. The change in year-over-year earnings was driven by higher interest from draws on the Dream loan, increased asset management fees and higher cost recoveries for shared services. This was partially offset by a fair value adjustment on the convertible debentures.
