ORGANIC GROWTH
- Continued strong leasing momentum at attractive rental spreads – From April 1, 2025 through to July 31, 2025, the Trust has transacted 3.3 million square feet of leases across its wholly-owned portfolio at a weighted average rental rate spread of 20.0% over prior or expiring rents.
- In Canada, the Trust signed 1.6 million square feet of leases, achieving a weighted average rental rate spread to expiry of 38.5% and an average annual contractual rent growth of 3.2%.
- In Europe, the Trust signed 1.6 million square feet of leases at rates that are on average in line with prior rents. All of the leases are fully indexed to local consumer price indices (“CPI”) or have contractual rent steps.
- In Canada, the Trust signed 1.6 million square feet of leases, achieving a weighted average rental rate spread to expiry of 38.5% and an average annual contractual rent growth of 3.2%.
The Trust’s average in-place and committed rents in Canada have grown by 6.8% since the start of 2025 to June 30, 2025. As at June 30, 2025, estimated market rents exceeded the average in-place and committed rents by 22.9% and 4.6% across the Trust’s wholly-owned portfolio in Canada and Europe, respectively. Along with capturing substantial rental rate growth, the Trust systematically adds contractual annual rental rate escalators to its leases resulting in consistently growing CP NOI (constant currency basis) over time. Currently, the average contractual annual rental rate growth embedded in the Trust’s Canadian portfolio equates to 3.2%. In the Trust’s European portfolio, approximately 85% of the leases are indexed to the local CPI with the remainder of the portfolio having contractual rent steps.
- Solid pace of CP NOI (constant currency basis)(1) growth – CP NOI (constant currency basis) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $100.3 million and $196.6 million, respectively. For the same periods in 2024, CP NOI (constant currency basis) was $95.5 million and $188.8 million, respectively. This represents an increase of 5.0% and 4.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the prior year comparative periods.
The Canadian portfolio posted year-over-year CP NOI (constant currency basis) growth of 8.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, driven by 11.5%, 4.7% and 4.3% CP NOI growth in Ontario, Québec and Western Canada, respectively. Overall, in-place base rents for the Canadian portfolio increased by 13.2% and 11.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The Trust’s strong leasing momentum has led to robust in-place base rent growth over the past few years, with a compounded annual growth rate of over 9% over the past three years.
In Europe, year-over-year CP NOI (constant currency basis) increased by 1.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was driven by higher rental rates on new and renewed leases, in addition to CPI indexation. - Healthy occupancy levels – The Trust’s in-place and committed occupancy was 96.0% as at June 30, 2025, a 60 basis points (“bps”) increase from 95.4% as at March 31, 2025. The Trust continues to be in active discussions with prospective tenants and it expects significant opportunities to capture strong income growth as spaces are leased.
- Growing property management and leasing platform – The Trust’s private ventures have completed over $1 billion of acquisitions over the past 24 months. Net property management and leasing margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $3.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively, representing an increase of $0.5 million or 21.3%, and $1.0 million or 20.1%, respectively, relative to the comparative prior year periods. The increase was driven by organic revenue growth and the increase in scale of the private ventures in 2025 and 2024.
- Continued growth in net rental income for the quarter – Net rental income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $94.7 million and $186.4 million, respectively, representing an increase of $7.0 million or 8.0%, and $12.9 million or 7.4%, respectively, relative to the comparative prior year periods. For the quarter, year-over-year net rental income increased by 8.6% in Ontario, 4.0% in Québec, 19.0% in Western Canada and 9.1% in Europe, excluding disposed investment properties. The increase was mainly driven by strong CP NOI (constant currency basis) growth over the past year, early lease renewals and lease-up at the Trust's development projects.
ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS UPDATE
During the quarter, the Trust acquired a 178,000 square foot asset located in the Netherlands for a purchase price of $19 million. The multi-tenanted asset is located on a 4.8-acre site adjacent to the A1 motorway and well-located in the geographic centre of the Netherlands. With approximately 80% of the space rolling in mid-2025, the Trust intends to pursue a value-add redevelopment strategy and capture the mark-to-market upside, with an expected NOI yield on purchase price of 9.9% (and 8.5% when including redevelopment capital) upon stabilization.
Subsequent to the quarter, the Trust acquired a 192,000 square foot asset located in the Greater Toronto Area ("GTA") North industrial sub-market for a purchase price of $60 million representing a going-in cap rate of approximately 6%. The asset comprises two buildings situated on over 10 acres of land, offering excellent connectivity across the GTA and benefits from operational synergies through the Trust’s active presence in the node. The asset is fully leased to four tenants with 3% contractual rent steps and strong mark-to-market upside.
See Figure 1, Richmond Hill, Ontario
“Our recent acquisition in Richmond Hill strengthens DIR’s strategic footprint in the GTA North. With 550,000 square feet of existing assets located nearby in this node, we are well positioned to leverage property management and leasing synergies. Two of the occupiers have recently committed to long-term leases and the remaining two leases are expected to roll at a positive spread to expiry, translating into an expected compounded annual NOI growth of over 5% over the next five years,” said Bruce Traversy, Chief Investment Officer of Dream Industrial REIT. “We continue to observe strong user occupier and investor demand in the GTA North, one of Canada’s tightest industrial submarkets where we maintain strong conviction given its low availability and strong barriers to new supply due to prohibitive replacement costs. We have seen increased interest from users and local investors for our assets in the node, at substantially higher capital values than this acquisition.”
The Trust continues to pursue disposition opportunities as part of its ongoing capital recycling program. Currently, the Trust has approximately $100 million of assets under letters of intent or in advanced negotiations with both users and investors across its wholly-owned portfolio and private ventures.
As previously disclosed, the Dream Summit JV completed the acquisition of an asset in Oakville, Ontario, for a purchase price of $59 million ($5.9 million at DIR’s share) during the second quarter. Subsequent to the quarter, the Dream Summit JV disposed of a non-strategic asset in Western Canada totalling $18.7 million ($1.9 million at DIR’s share) at a 15% premium to IFRS value.
DEVELOPMENT LEASING UPDATE
The Trust continues to see healthy leasing pipeline for its development projects. The Trust is currently engaged in various stages of negotiations for 1.7 million square feet of new leases (0.8 million square feet at the Trust’s share) across developments within its wholly-owned portfolio and private ventures in Canada.
During the quarter, the Trust signed a lease at its 225,000 square foot property located near the port of Montréal for approximately 35% of the space with an existing tenant in its European portfolio. This lease anchors the redevelopment strategy for the asset as the Trust continues to advance its plans to enhance the functionality and long-term value of this property.
The Trust continues to see strong interest from its existing occupiers to expand their existing footprints, allowing the Trust to leverage its extensive excess land portfolio. Over the course of 2025, the Trust has commenced or substantially advanced negotiations on over 0.5 million square feet of expansion projects (0.3 million square feet at the Trust’s share) for its existing tenants at an expected yield on cost of over 8%.
VALUE-ADD INITIATIVES UPDATE
The Trust continues to advance its solar program and commenced construction on five new projects across Alberta, Ontario and Germany.
During the quarter, the Trust purchased the existing rooftop solar system at an asset in Ottawa, Ontario, from the previous owner, and began construction to repower and upgrade the system to increase energy generation. In July, construction was substantially completed and the system is now fully operational, adding over 2,900 panels and delivering 1.2 MW of capacity. The Trust expects to achieve a yield on cost of 20%.
Furthermore, the Trust has identified an opportunity to repower existing solar installations at an asset in Ontario that will enhance revenue generation by more than doubling the system capacity to 0.9 MW, with an expected yield on cost of 23%.
Additionally, the Trust’s current solar feasibility pipeline comprises over 80 projects, translating into over $100 million of potential additional investment volume at a targeted yield on cost of over 8% over the near to medium-term.
CAPITAL STRATEGY
The Trust continues to maintain significant financial flexibility as it executes on its strategic initiatives. The Trust’s proportion of secured debt(16) is 5.4% of total assets and represents 14.1% of total debt(17). The Trust’s unencumbered asset pool(11) totalled $6.1 billion as at June 30, 2025, representing 83.8% of the Trust’s total investment properties value as at June 30, 2025.
During the quarter, the Trust purchased for cancellation 1,918,566 REIT Units under the NCIB at a weighted average price of $10.42 per REIT Unit for a total cost of $20.0 million.
The Trust ended Q2 2025 with available liquidity(12) of $714.4 million, including $42.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, and 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 was 8.2x and net total debt-to-total assets (net of cash and cash equivalents) ratio was 38.0% as at June 30, 2025.
Subsequent to the quarter, the Trust closed on its issuance of $200 million of Series G unsecured debentures at an all-in interest rate of 4.287% per annum. The Trust has entered into forward cross-currency interest rate swap arrangements to swap the proceeds to euros to lower the effective fixed interest rate to 3.726% per annum starting December 22, 2025. The net proceeds were utilized to repay existing indebtedness, including to pre-fund the repayment of indebtedness that will mature in December 2025, and for general Trust purposes.
“Consistent with our strategy to enhance our balance sheet strength, we have now effectively addressed over 70% of our 2025 debt maturities at rates in line or better than our expectations at the beginning of the year,” said Lenis Quan, Chief Financial Officer of Dream Industrial REIT. “Pro forma this bond offering, our total available liquidity of over $900 million increases our financial flexibility and positions us well to execute on our strategic initiatives.”

Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios and supplementary financial measures
The Trust’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). In this press release, as a complement to results provided in accordance with IFRS, the Trust discloses and discusses certain non- GAAP financial measures and ratios, including FFO, diluted FFO per Unit, FFO payout ratio, CP NOI (constant currency basis), total debt, net total debt-to-total assets (net of cash and cash equivalents) ratio, net total debt, total assets (net of cash and cash equivalents), net total debt-to-normalized adjusted EBITDAFV ratio, adjusted EBITDAFV, normalized adjusted EBITDAFV – annualized, interest coverage ratio, available liquidity, total equity (including LP B Units) and NAV per Unit as well as other measures discussed elsewhere in this press release. These non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are not defined by IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS.

ORGANIC GROWTH
- Continued strong leasing momentum at attractive rental spreads – From April 1, 2025 through to July 31, 2025, the Trust has transacted 3.3 million square feet of leases across its wholly-owned portfolio at a weighted average rental rate spread of 20.0% over prior or expiring rents.
- In Canada, the Trust signed 1.6 million square feet of leases, achieving a weighted average rental rate spread to expiry of 38.5% and an average annual contractual rent growth of 3.2%.
- In Europe, the Trust signed 1.6 million square feet of leases at rates that are on average in line with prior rents. All of the leases are fully indexed to local consumer price indices (“CPI”) or have contractual rent steps.
- In Canada, the Trust signed 1.6 million square feet of leases, achieving a weighted average rental rate spread to expiry of 38.5% and an average annual contractual rent growth of 3.2%.
The Trust’s average in-place and committed rents in Canada have grown by 6.8% since the start of 2025 to June 30, 2025. As at June 30, 2025, estimated market rents exceeded the average in-place and committed rents by 22.9% and 4.6% across the Trust’s wholly-owned portfolio in Canada and Europe, respectively. Along with capturing substantial rental rate growth, the Trust systematically adds contractual annual rental rate escalators to its leases resulting in consistently growing CP NOI (constant currency basis) over time. Currently, the average contractual annual rental rate growth embedded in the Trust’s Canadian portfolio equates to 3.2%. In the Trust’s European portfolio, approximately 85% of the leases are indexed to the local CPI with the remainder of the portfolio having contractual rent steps.
- Solid pace of CP NOI (constant currency basis)(1) growth – CP NOI (constant currency basis) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $100.3 million and $196.6 million, respectively. For the same periods in 2024, CP NOI (constant currency basis) was $95.5 million and $188.8 million, respectively. This represents an increase of 5.0% and 4.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the prior year comparative periods.
The Canadian portfolio posted year-over-year CP NOI (constant currency basis) growth of 8.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, driven by 11.5%, 4.7% and 4.3% CP NOI growth in Ontario, Québec and Western Canada, respectively. Overall, in-place base rents for the Canadian portfolio increased by 13.2% and 11.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The Trust’s strong leasing momentum has led to robust in-place base rent growth over the past few years, with a compounded annual growth rate of over 9% over the past three years.
In Europe, year-over-year CP NOI (constant currency basis) increased by 1.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was driven by higher rental rates on new and renewed leases, in addition to CPI indexation. - Healthy occupancy levels – The Trust’s in-place and committed occupancy was 96.0% as at June 30, 2025, a 60 basis points (“bps”) increase from 95.4% as at March 31, 2025. The Trust continues to be in active discussions with prospective tenants and it expects significant opportunities to capture strong income growth as spaces are leased.
- Growing property management and leasing platform – The Trust’s private ventures have completed over $1 billion of acquisitions over the past 24 months. Net property management and leasing margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $3.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively, representing an increase of $0.5 million or 21.3%, and $1.0 million or 20.1%, respectively, relative to the comparative prior year periods. The increase was driven by organic revenue growth and the increase in scale of the private ventures in 2025 and 2024.
- Continued growth in net rental income for the quarter – Net rental income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $94.7 million and $186.4 million, respectively, representing an increase of $7.0 million or 8.0%, and $12.9 million or 7.4%, respectively, relative to the comparative prior year periods. For the quarter, year-over-year net rental income increased by 8.6% in Ontario, 4.0% in Québec, 19.0% in Western Canada and 9.1% in Europe, excluding disposed investment properties. The increase was mainly driven by strong CP NOI (constant currency basis) growth over the past year, early lease renewals and lease-up at the Trust's development projects.
ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS UPDATE
During the quarter, the Trust acquired a 178,000 square foot asset located in the Netherlands for a purchase price of $19 million. The multi-tenanted asset is located on a 4.8-acre site adjacent to the A1 motorway and well-located in the geographic centre of the Netherlands. With approximately 80% of the space rolling in mid-2025, the Trust intends to pursue a value-add redevelopment strategy and capture the mark-to-market upside, with an expected NOI yield on purchase price of 9.9% (and 8.5% when including redevelopment capital) upon stabilization.
Subsequent to the quarter, the Trust acquired a 192,000 square foot asset located in the Greater Toronto Area ("GTA") North industrial sub-market for a purchase price of $60 million representing a going-in cap rate of approximately 6%. The asset comprises two buildings situated on over 10 acres of land, offering excellent connectivity across the GTA and benefits from operational synergies through the Trust’s active presence in the node. The asset is fully leased to four tenants with 3% contractual rent steps and strong mark-to-market upside.
See Figure 1, Richmond Hill, Ontario
“Our recent acquisition in Richmond Hill strengthens DIR’s strategic footprint in the GTA North. With 550,000 square feet of existing assets located nearby in this node, we are well positioned to leverage property management and leasing synergies. Two of the occupiers have recently committed to long-term leases and the remaining two leases are expected to roll at a positive spread to expiry, translating into an expected compounded annual NOI growth of over 5% over the next five years,” said Bruce Traversy, Chief Investment Officer of Dream Industrial REIT. “We continue to observe strong user occupier and investor demand in the GTA North, one of Canada’s tightest industrial submarkets where we maintain strong conviction given its low availability and strong barriers to new supply due to prohibitive replacement costs. We have seen increased interest from users and local investors for our assets in the node, at substantially higher capital values than this acquisition.”
The Trust continues to pursue disposition opportunities as part of its ongoing capital recycling program. Currently, the Trust has approximately $100 million of assets under letters of intent or in advanced negotiations with both users and investors across its wholly-owned portfolio and private ventures.
As previously disclosed, the Dream Summit JV completed the acquisition of an asset in Oakville, Ontario, for a purchase price of $59 million ($5.9 million at DIR’s share) during the second quarter. Subsequent to the quarter, the Dream Summit JV disposed of a non-strategic asset in Western Canada totalling $18.7 million ($1.9 million at DIR’s share) at a 15% premium to IFRS value.
DEVELOPMENT LEASING UPDATE
The Trust continues to see healthy leasing pipeline for its development projects. The Trust is currently engaged in various stages of negotiations for 1.7 million square feet of new leases (0.8 million square feet at the Trust’s share) across developments within its wholly-owned portfolio and private ventures in Canada.
During the quarter, the Trust signed a lease at its 225,000 square foot property located near the port of Montréal for approximately 35% of the space with an existing tenant in its European portfolio. This lease anchors the redevelopment strategy for the asset as the Trust continues to advance its plans to enhance the functionality and long-term value of this property.
The Trust continues to see strong interest from its existing occupiers to expand their existing footprints, allowing the Trust to leverage its extensive excess land portfolio. Over the course of 2025, the Trust has commenced or substantially advanced negotiations on over 0.5 million square feet of expansion projects (0.3 million square feet at the Trust’s share) for its existing tenants at an expected yield on cost of over 8%.
VALUE-ADD INITIATIVES UPDATE
The Trust continues to advance its solar program and commenced construction on five new projects across Alberta, Ontario and Germany.
During the quarter, the Trust purchased the existing rooftop solar system at an asset in Ottawa, Ontario, from the previous owner, and began construction to repower and upgrade the system to increase energy generation. In July, construction was substantially completed and the system is now fully operational, adding over 2,900 panels and delivering 1.2 MW of capacity. The Trust expects to achieve a yield on cost of 20%.
Furthermore, the Trust has identified an opportunity to repower existing solar installations at an asset in Ontario that will enhance revenue generation by more than doubling the system capacity to 0.9 MW, with an expected yield on cost of 23%.
Additionally, the Trust’s current solar feasibility pipeline comprises over 80 projects, translating into over $100 million of potential additional investment volume at a targeted yield on cost of over 8% over the near to medium-term.
CAPITAL STRATEGY
The Trust continues to maintain significant financial flexibility as it executes on its strategic initiatives. The Trust’s proportion of secured debt(16) is 5.4% of total assets and represents 14.1% of total debt(17). The Trust’s unencumbered asset pool(11) totalled $6.1 billion as at June 30, 2025, representing 83.8% of the Trust’s total investment properties value as at June 30, 2025.
During the quarter, the Trust purchased for cancellation 1,918,566 REIT Units under the NCIB at a weighted average price of $10.42 per REIT Unit for a total cost of $20.0 million.
The Trust ended Q2 2025 with available liquidity(12) of $714.4 million, including $42.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, and 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 was 8.2x and net total debt-to-total assets (net of cash and cash equivalents) ratio was 38.0% as at June 30, 2025.
Subsequent to the quarter, the Trust closed on its issuance of $200 million of Series G unsecured debentures at an all-in interest rate of 4.287% per annum. The Trust has entered into forward cross-currency interest rate swap arrangements to swap the proceeds to euros to lower the effective fixed interest rate to 3.726% per annum starting December 22, 2025. The net proceeds were utilized to repay existing indebtedness, including to pre-fund the repayment of indebtedness that will mature in December 2025, and for general Trust purposes.
“Consistent with our strategy to enhance our balance sheet strength, we have now effectively addressed over 70% of our 2025 debt maturities at rates in line or better than our expectations at the beginning of the year,” said Lenis Quan, Chief Financial Officer of Dream Industrial REIT. “Pro forma this bond offering, our total available liquidity of over $900 million increases our financial flexibility and positions us well to execute on our strategic initiatives.”

Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios and supplementary financial measures
The Trust’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). In this press release, as a complement to results provided in accordance with IFRS, the Trust discloses and discusses certain non- GAAP financial measures and ratios, including FFO, diluted FFO per Unit, FFO payout ratio, CP NOI (constant currency basis), total debt, net total debt-to-total assets (net of cash and cash equivalents) ratio, net total debt, total assets (net of cash and cash equivalents), net total debt-to-normalized adjusted EBITDAFV ratio, adjusted EBITDAFV, normalized adjusted EBITDAFV – annualized, interest coverage ratio, available liquidity, total equity (including LP B Units) and NAV per Unit as well as other measures discussed elsewhere in this press release. These non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are not defined by IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS. The Trust’s method of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures and ratios may differ from other issuers and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers. The Trust has presented such non-GAAP financial measures and ratios as Management believes they are relevant measures of the Trust’s underlying operating and financial performance. Certain additional disclosures such as the composition, usefulness and changes, as applicable, of the non-GAAP financial measures and ratios included in this press release have been incorporated by reference from the management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results from operations of the Trust for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, dated August 5, 2025 (the “Q2 2025 MD&A”) and can be found under the sections “Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Non-GAAP Ratios” and respective sub-headings labelled “Funds from operations (“FFO”)”, "Diluted FFO per Unit", “FFO payout ratio”, "Comparative properties net operating income (“CP NOI”) (constant currency basis)”, “Net total debt-to-total assets (net of cash and cash equivalents) ratio”, “Net total debt-to- normalized adjusted EBITDAFV ratio (years)”, and “Interest coverage ratio”, “Available Liquidity”, "Total equity (including LP B Units or subsidiary redeemable units"), “Total debt”, “Net asset value (“NAV”) per Unit”, “Net total debt and total assets (net of cash and cash equivalents)”, “Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and fair value adjustments (“Adjusted EBITDAFV”) and Normalized adjusted EBITDAFV – Annualized”. The composition of supplementary financial measures and ratios included in this press release have been incorporated by reference from the Q2 2025 MD&A and can be found under the section “Supplementary financial measures and ratios and other disclosures”. The Q2 2025 MD&A is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com under the Trust’s profile and on the Trust’s website at www.dreamindustrialreit.ca under the Investors section. Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios should not be considered as alternatives to net income, net rental income, cash flows generated from (utilized in) operating activities, cash and cash equivalents, total assets, non-current debt, total equity, or comparable metrics determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of the Trust’s performance, liquidity, cash flow, and profitability.
