TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 12, 2025-- Dream Unlimited Corp. (TSX: DRM) (“Dream”, “the Company” or “we”) today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 (“second quarter”).

“Even with the uncertainty due to tariffs and housing policy, we have continued to make significant progress on our long-term business plan,” said Michael Cooper, Chief Responsible Officer. “With our progress developing Alpine Park in Calgary and the commencement of two new communities, being the 1,100-acre Holmwood community in Saskatoon, as well as the 1,200-acre Coopertown community in Regina, we expect our Western Canada land business to be more profitable in the future relative to the past. In addition, the continued development of new income properties in Western Canada and the National Capital Region, along with the Distillery and other Toronto assets, has provided us with growing asset value and net operating income in this segment. With growth in our asset management business, all three major segments of the Company are advancing well. We continue to improve our public disclosures to provide a clearer understanding of our business with asset management, income properties and Western Canada representing more than 80% of our value. We provided net asset value for the business at our annual meeting, and the current results are in line with the value we disclosed. Overall, we are on track for another year of solid performance.”

General Business Update

Our Western Canadian land and housing business completed its best year ever in 2024. This success has carried into 2025 as we position the division for future growth with the introduction of three new communities and the expansion of our multi-family developments.

Next quarter, we are breaking ground on the development of our 1,200-acre community in Regina which will provide us with growth opportunities in the city for many years. Coopertown is the first new community in Regina in nearly ten years and expected to welcome approximately 21,000 residents over its 20-year buildout. We also anticipate developing income properties in Regina, similar to what we have done in Saskatoon.

In Saskatoon, we are progressing on the sale of the school site in Holmwood which will accommodate 3,400 students. In addition, we have pre-sold 27-acres to a leading retail developer to start the commercial development in Holmwood. As a result, we will be able to progress our single family, multi-family, retail and commercial development simultaneously in the community.

In Calgary, our 200-acre expansion of Alpine Park is well underway with closings expected in 2025 and 2026, while we continue to make progress on sales for future periods. The introduction of Alpine Park has been very well received and with about 500 more acres to develop, the community is expected to be a significant profit contributor for many years.

We have commenced construction on our retail and first apartment in Alpine Park, as well as our fourth apartment building in Brighton (Saskatoon), another 100 townhouses and a further 40 single family residences. Our third apartment building being a 125-unit building in Brighton began occupancy at the beginning of June and we are already over 70% occupied in the first ten weeks of lease up. As a result, we have completed or have under construction, 660 apartment units, 220 townhouses and 140 single family units for a total of over 1,000 units in this newly created business line.

Our asset management business has grown by $2.5 billion over the past twelve months resulting in Dream having more private assets under management than public, which is exceptional growth since we started this division in 2020. We expect to see continued growth based on our current initiatives over the next few years.

Our third major segment, our income properties, continues to expand quickly as we complete buildings and progress in lease-up. While we have some erosion due to cap rate expansion in Ontario, our net operating income is growing in line with expectations, and we are pleased with the lease-up of new buildings recently.

While development in Toronto is challenging, we are making progress on our client’s major projects and expect to commence development of 49 Ontario St. in 2025 and Quayside in 2026.

Consolidated Results Overview

In the second quarter the Company revised its segment presentation to better reflect how our business has grown and how we manage the various components. Accordingly, the comparative period presentation of segments has also been updated to conform to the new presentation. For segment details, refer to the financial statements and the management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, dated August 12, 2025 (the “MD&A for the second quarter of 2025”).

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

• Losses before income taxes for the second quarter were $28.5 million, a decrease from the comparative period. Prior period results included significant earnings from two parcels of land sold in Edmonton, performance fees related to the Dream U.S. Industrial Fund and operational results from Arapahoe Basin, which was sold at the end of 2024. The Company’s consolidated results include non-cash fair value adjustments relating to Dream Impact Trust and Dream Impact Fund units held by third parties, the magnitude of which differed in each reporting period. Earnings for the second quarter were generally in line with management’s expectations as the majority of income from Western Canada development is weighted in the second half of the year.

• As of June 30, 2025, we had available liquidity⁽¹⁾ of $345 million and $218 million of contractual debt maturities expected in 2025. Of this amount of debt, the majority is either in advanced lender discussions for extensions or expected to be rolled as part of the annual renewal process. We proactively work with our lenders to address upcoming maturities and work towards increasing liquidity over time to create flexibility to participate in discretionary investments as they arise and to withstand sudden adverse changes in economic conditions.

Results Highlights (Asset management, Western Canada development, Income properties):

• In the second quarter, our asset management business generated revenue and net margin of $11.6 million and $6.9 million, respectively, compared to $27.5 million and $22.8 million in the comparative period. The comparative figures included performance fees of $15.7 million related to the Dream U.S. Industrial Fund, with no similar activity in the current period. Transactional and performance-related fees are expected to fluctuate period to period.

• In the second quarter, we achieved 44 lot sales and 19 housing occupancies in Western Canada, generating net margin of $1.1 million, compared to $31.3 million in the comparative period. Prior year results included the sale of two parcels of land sold in Edmonton totalling 146 acres, generating revenue of $39.5 million and net margin of $28.1 million. Excluding these transactions, net margin for the division was relatively in line with prior year as lots sold in 2025 generated a higher margin due to the specific product mix sold.

• We continue to make progress on our land pre-sales commitments. As of August 8, 2025, we have a total of $155.0 million in sales commitments to be recognized between 2025 and 2026 (in addition to the $21.2 million recognized in 2025 to date) and another $27.5 million from acre sales secured in 2027.

• Our income properties generated revenue and net operating income of $12.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively, in 2025, up slightly from prior year. Growth in the segment was largely driven by the lease-up of our purpose-built rentals in Brighton (Saskatoon).

Other items:

• Our other investments segment generated $14.8 million in revenue and $4.5 million of negative margin in the second quarter, compared to $41.2 million in revenue and $6.2 million of negative margin in the prior period. Fluctuations in revenue and net loss were largely driven by prior year results from Arapahoe Basin which was sold in the fourth quarter of 2024 and occupancies at IVY condominium and Phase 2 of Riverside Square with limited occupancies in 2025, in line with management's expectations. Included in this segment are platform costs associated with our Toronto and Ottawa development teams.

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 International Financial Reporting 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, 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 2025” 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”. 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 2025 and can be found under the section “Supplementary and Other Financial Measures”. The MD&A for the second quarter of 2025 is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. 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 revenue is net margin. This non-GAAP measure is an important measure used by management to assess the profitability of the Company's income property segment. Net operating income for the income properties segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is calculated and reconciled to net margin as follows:

“Standalone Figures by Division” is a non-GAAP measure and represents the results of Dream, excluding the impact of Dream Impact Trust's consolidated results and IFRS Accounting Standards adjustments to reflect Dream’s direct ownership of our partnerships. Direct ownership refers to Dream Unlimited Corp.’s interest in subsidiaries and partnerships and excludes any non-controlling interest in the noted entities based on units held as of the end of the reporting period. 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.
