2026 Outlook and Recent Developments
A discussion of our business outlook can be found in the "2026 Outlook" section of our Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 MD&A").
Operations
Figure 1 provides an update in respect of our same property occupancy (NOTE: Same property for the purpose of this graph is in accordance with our 2026 definition. Same property references elsewhere in this document reflect the 2025 composition of our same property portfolio).
We experienced a seasonal occupancy dip during the 2026 winter that is more in-line with historical periods given severe weather conditions and a more pronounced flu season. We expect to see strong spring permanent move-in activity given the robust industry supply and demand fundamentals and expect to achieve our full year average occupancy target of 95%.
Growth and Portfolio Optimization Activities
We continue to execute on our portfolio strategy of enhancing our asset base to generate increased NOI, acquiring new strategic properties in core markets, selling non-core properties, and repositioning underperforming properties. We are also pursuing new developments that support future growth of our asset base in line with our strategy. Recent activities include:
On December 1, 2025, we acquired a 334-suite retirement residence (rebranded Chartwell Azalis) in Repentigny, Quebec for $111.0 million. The purchase price was settled in cash.
On December 2, 2025, we acquired the newly developed 155-suite retirement residence (rebranded Chartwell Edgewater) in Nanaimo, British Columbia for $102.7 million. The purchase price was settled in cash.
On December 15, 2025, we acquired The Edward, a 90-suite retirement residence in Calgary, Alberta for $53.0 million. The purchase price was settled in cash.
On December 18, 2025, we acquired the remaining 15% ownership interest in Résidence Légende, a 368-suite retirement residence in Longueuil, Quebec from Batimo for $17.9 million before working capital adjustments and closing costs. The purchase price included the proportionate assumption of the $10.1 million mortgage in place at closing, with the balance settled in cash. We now have 100% ownership interest in this residence.
On February 19, 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell one non-core property in Ontario, for $49.0 million with closing expected in Q1 2026.
Liquidity and Financing
On November 6, 2025, we filed a new prospectus supplement to renew our at-the-market equity distribution program (the "2025 ATM Program") that allows Chartwell to issue up to $500.0 million of Trust Units from treasury to the public from time to time during the term of the program. The 2025 ATM Program is effective until May 30, 2026, unless terminated prior to such date by Chartwell or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement which sets out the terms of the sale of Trust Units under the 2025 ATM Program. As of December 31, 2025, we had issued and sold approximately $240.0 million of the Trust Units under the 2025 ATM Program.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, under both the 2025 ATM Program and our prior at-the-market equity distribution program, Chartwell issued an aggregate 38,894,442 of Trust Units at an average ...
