TORONTO -- (Business Wire)

Dream Unlimited Corp. (TSX: DRM) (“Dream”, “the Company” or “we”) today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 (“second quarter”).

“We are very pleased with the progress we have achieved in the first half of the year across our key segments,” said Michael Cooper, Chief Responsible Officer. “Our efforts to grow the asset management and income properties divisions are evident in our financial results and we continue to pursue opportunities to achieve meaningful scale. Based on activity to date, we are on track to meet or exceed our acquisition targets across our various industrial vehicle mandates, with over $1.5 billion acquired or under contract. NOI⁽¹⁾ from our income property division continues to grow and we expect growth to accelerate as we double the number of apartment units by the end of 2027. Our Western Canada rentals are leasing quite well and we expect our land division to be a solid income contributor in the latter part of the year which is consistent with the seasonality of the business.”

On July 30, 2026, Dream and Dream Industrial REIT entered into definitive agreements for Dream to acquire Chancerygate Limited, a U.K. based industrial developer and asset manager with an extensive track record in the multi-let industrial sector. As part of the transaction, Dream Industrial REIT will acquire Chancerygate’s real estate interests and Dream will acquire the investment and development platform, the cost of which will be finalized post-closing comprised of working capital items. Dream has a long-standing record of operating in the European markets through various public and private mandates, including Dream Global REIT, which was sold to Blackstone in 2019. The Chancerygate acquisition will allow us to further expand our European footprint, accelerating the growth of our asset management platform. As of June 30, 2026, our assets under management⁽¹⁾ were $28 billion, of which nearly 80% was concentrated in industrial and residential asset classes. With our newly formed mandates, robust deal pipeline and buying capacity, we have a clear path to grow our fee-earning AUM.

Over the quarter, we continued to make steady progress across our multi-family rentals under construction. This includes Odenak and Zibi Block 204 in Ottawa (447 units at share) and 504 units in our Brighton and Alpine Park communities, which we expect to commence leasing over the next 18 month period. Our first retail site in Alpine Park, Block 28, which comprises 62,000 square feet of GLA is 81% leased and on track for occupancies in late 2026.

Overall, we continue to make progress on our land pre-sales commitments, with $155.4 million in committed sales for 2026, which includes $23.9 million of revenue recognized in the first half of 2026. Of the total pre-sales amount, approximately two-thirds is concentrated within our Alpine Park (Calgary), Coopertown (Regina), and Brighton/Holmwood (Saskatoon) communities.

Consolidated Results Overview

A summary of our consolidated results for the second quarter is included in the table below.

• Income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $1.3 million compared to a loss of $28.5 million in the comparative period mainly due to the net impact of fair value adjustments, income from passive investments and higher earnings from our operating segments. For similar reasons, loss before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $3.6 million, an improvement from the comparative period.

• As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $285.4 million available under its corporate credit facilities and $644.2 million of contractual debt (on a consolidated basis) maturing over the next 12 months. This amount includes nearly $100 million of debt which renews automatically on an annual basis. Subsequent to quarter end, we completed $55.3 million of extensions and continued to advance a further $237.3 million of maturities. The remaining maturities do not come due until 2027 and we do not anticipate challenges with renewals at that time.

Results Highlights

• In the second quarter, our key operating segments generated margin of $18.8 million⁽²⁾, an increase of 26% relative to the comparative period. This includes margin from our asset management, income properties and Western Canada development businesses which makes up approximately 80% of the value of our business.

• In the second quarter, our asset management business generated revenue and net margin of $14.1 million and $9.8 million, respectively, compared to $11.6 million and $6.9 million in the prior period. The increase was largely driven by growth across our asset management mandates and higher acquisition activity relative to the comparative period. In line with expectations, at the end of the quarter the second tranche of assets were vended into the Dream DCI JV from Dream Industrial REIT. In total, $805 million of assets were seeded into the venture as the initial portfolio from the REIT.

• In the second quarter, our income properties generated revenue and net operating income⁽¹⁾ of $13.9 million and $7.7 million, respectively, compared to $12.2 million and $6.8 million in the prior period. The increase was driven by the ongoing development completion and lease-up of our multi-family rental pipeline. As of June 30, 2026, we have 1,062 completed rental units that are operational, with an additional 951 units under construction (at share) that are expected to be completed by the end of 2027.

• In the second quarter, we achieved 58 lot sales and 29 housing occupancies in Western Canada, generating net margin of $1.2 million, up slightly relative to the comparative period due to the specific product mix sold in each period. Consistent with normal course operations, we anticipate the majority of income from this division to be recognized in the back half of the year. Due to municipal delays, we are revising our pre-sales expectations for 29 acres slated for a major retail tenant in our Holmwood community from 2027 to 2028. While we work closely with the various municipalities in which we operate, delays may occur from time to time and are considered normal course. Overall, total pre-sales for 2026 through 2028 increased by $41.4 million, relative to the first quarter of 2026.

Other items:

• Our ‘other investments’ segment generated $1.9 million of negative net margin in the second quarter, an improvement compared to $4.5 million of negative net margin in the comparative period. While we do expect our development fee income in this segment to increase over time as new projects come online, we do not anticipate earnings from this segment in 2026 as we have minimal inventory available for sale. Over the last six months, we have been steadily advancing pre-development activity at Quayside and anticipate construction commencement by the fourth quarter of 2026, which will contribute positively to development fee income at that time.

• Subsequent to quarter end, Dream closed on the sale of a passive investment located in Vaughan, Ontario in which it held a 31.6% interest, resulting in a fair value gain of $5.0 million. The net proceeds were used to partially repay amounts outstanding on the operating line. We will continue to pursue disposition opportunities as part of our ongoing capital recycling program.

• In the six months ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased 396,558 Subordinate Voting Shares at an average price of $19.56 under the Company’s normal course issuer bid for gross proceeds of $7.8 million. In the second quarter, $7.3 million was returned to shareholders through the Company’s quarterly dividend.

Dream has published a supplemental information package on our website concurrent with the release of our second quarter results.

Non-GAAP Measures and Other Disclosures

In addition to using financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”), we believe that important measures of operating performance include certain financial measures that are not defined under IFRS Accounting Standards. Throughout this press release, there are references to certain non-GAAP financial measures and ratios and supplementary financial measures, including Dream Impact Trust and consolidation and fair value adjustments, assets under management, net margin (%), available liquidity, net operating income and, standalone figures by division, which management believes are relevant in assessing the economics of the business of Dream. These performance and other measures are not financial measures under IFRS Accounting Standards, and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers. However, we believe that they are informative and provide further insight as supplementary measures of financial performance, financial position or cash flow, or our objectives and policies, as applicable. 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 “MD&A for the second quarter of 2026” and can be found under the section “Non-GAAP Ratios and Financial Measures”, subheadings “Net operating income” and “Dream Impact Trust and consolidation and fair value adjustments”. Note that all figures presented following the consolidated results overview are on a Dream standalone basis. The composition of supplementary financial measures included in this press release has been incorporated by reference from the MD&A for the second quarter of 2026 and can be found under the section “Supplementary and Other Financial Measures”. The MD&A for the second quarter of 2026 is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca under Dream’s profile and on Dream’s website at www.dream.ca under the Investors section.

Non-GAAP Ratios and Financial Measures

"Dream Impact Trust and consolidation and fair value adjustments" represent certain IFRS Accounting Standards adjustments required to reconcile Dream standalone and Dream Impact Trust results to the consolidated results as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Management believes Dream Impact Trust and consolidation and fair value adjustments provides investors useful information in order to reconcile it to the Dream Impact Trust financial statements.

Consolidation and fair value adjustments relate to business combination adjustments on acquisition of Dream Impact Trust on January 1, 2018 and related amortization, elimination of intercompany balances including the investment in Dream Impact Trust units, adjustments for co-owned projects, fair value adjustments to the Dream Impact Trust units held by other unitholders, and deferred income taxes.

“Net operating income" is a non-GAAP measure and represents revenue, less (i) direct operating costs and (ii) selling, marketing, depreciation and other indirect costs, but including: (iii) depreciation; and (iv) general and administrative expenses. The most directly comparable financial measure to net operating income is gross margin. This non-GAAP measure is an important measure used by management to assess the profitability of the Company's income properties segment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, net operating income for the income properties segment is equivalent to gross margin.

“Dream standalone” is a non-GAAP measure and represents the results of Dream, excluding the impact of Dream Impact Trust's and Dream Impact Fund’s consolidated results and adjustments to reflect Dream’s proportionate share of partnership assets, liabilities and earnings. Refer below for a reconciliation of Dream standalone to the results in the consolidated financial statements. The most direct comparable financial measure to Dream standalone is consolidated Dream. This non-GAAP measure is an important measure used by the Company to evaluate earnings against historical periods, including results prior to the acquisition of control of Dream Impact Trust and Dream Impact Fund.
