BSR Real Estate Investment Trust (HOM.UN) Q2 2026 earnings summary

Executive summary

• Q2 2026 results showed sequential growth in same-community and total occupancy, revenue, NOI, and FFO, with positive blended lease trade outs and improved retention rates, especially at the August 2025 acquisition.

• Resident amenity programs (Bulk Internet, Valet Trash) and real estate adjacent initiatives are ramping up, contributing to other income, FFO accretion, and strong resident reception.

• Platform efficiency initiatives, including centralization of assistant community managers, are generating expense savings and operational improvements.

Financial highlights

• Q2 2026 total portfolio revenue was $34.2M, up 1.5% year-over-year and 1.1% sequentially, driven by acquisitions.

• Same-community revenue in Q2 was $26.4M, down 1% year-over-year due to lower occupancy and rent, but up 35 bps sequentially from Q1.

• Total portfolio NOI was $17.9M, up 0.5% year-over-year and 1.9% sequentially; NOI margin was 52.4%.

• FFO for Q2 was $7.1M ($0.18/unit), down from $9.2M ($0.21/unit) last year, but up slightly from $6.9M ($0.18/unit) in Q1, mainly due to higher finance costs and leverage.

• Q2 2026 AFFO was $5.9M ($0.15/unit), down from $8.4M ($0.19/unit) in Q2 2025, reflecting lower FFO and higher maintenance capex.

Outlook and guidance

• 2026 FFO per unit guidance revised to $0.68–$0.74 (midpoint $0.71), down from initial $0.75–$0.79; AFFO per unit guidance revised to $0.66–$0.71 (midpoint $0.69), down from initial $0.73–$0.77.

• Same-community NOI guidance remains unchanged despite slower top-line recovery; expense guidance lowered due to realized savings in taxes, insurance, payroll, and bad debt.

• Guidance reflects slower leasing velocity at August 2025 acquisition and modest revenue recovery.

• Management remains confident in achieving $0.13-$0.22 per unit incremental growth by early 2028, excluding market rent and interest rate impacts.
