Nexus Industrial REIT (TSE:NXR.UN) Releases Quarterly Earnings Results

Nexus Industrial REIT (TSE:NXR.UN) issued its quarterly earnings results on Friday. The company reported C$0.33 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, reports. Nexus Industrial REIT had a net margin of 99.45% and a return on equity of 16.47%. The company had revenue of C$45.74 million during the quarter.

Here are the key takeaways from Nexus Industrial REIT’s conference call:

• Nexus reported 7.8% year-over-year NOI growth to CAD 34.7 million, 97% occupancy and 4.2% industrial same-property NOI growth. Renewals achieved an average 29% rent lift, while normalized AFFO per unit rose to CAD 0.166.
• Management now expects full-year industrial same-property NOI growth of 3%–4%, citing the Calgary property sale and slower lease-up in Calgary and London. It still expects the full-year normalized AFFO payout ratio to remain below 100%.
• A CAD 300 million bond offering at a 4.563% coupon left Nexus’s CAD 585 million credit facility virtually undrawn and extended its debt maturity profile. Management expects lower borrowing costs and greater financing flexibility.
• Nexus is pursuing data-infrastructure opportunities, starting with a Richmond project requiring an estimated CAD 60.3 million investment and targeting up to 9.9 MW of capacity. Leasing discussions are active but no tenant deal was announced; power approvals remain a dependency, and management says the units could instead serve micro-industrial or storage uses.
• Nexus signed a 10-year lease for its 115,000-square-foot Hamilton development, expected to begin contributing income in Q2 2027, and leased eight of nine units at its Calgary development. The company also advanced property sales as part of its capital-recycling program.
