NexLiving Communities Reports Record Q3 2025 Results and Declares Quarterly Dividend
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Nov. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NexLiving Communities Inc. (“NexLiving” or the “Company”) announced operating and financial results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025.
Stavro Stathonikos, President & CEO commented: “2025 has so far been a year of strong execution producing a milestone quarter for NexLiving. Q3 FFO per share was the highest ever, having increased +30% year-over-year, driven by both operational improvements and acquisition growth. In late Q2 we brought management of our Saint John portfolio in-house, resulting in a +13% increase in same-property NOI. Our recent Winnipeg acquisition is already contributing to FFO, and as construction progresses on our five-phase Ottawa townhome project, we expect to exercise our cashless option and add high-quality assets that will further drive growth in NOI and FFO per share.”
Summary of Results:
- Net operating income (“NOI”) increased by +52% to $5.3 million for the three-month period and +65% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025.
- Same property NOI increased +4.5%, driven by a +3.1% increase in revenue and offset by a +1.1% rise in expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025.
- Funds from operations (“FFO”) increased +92% to $2.2 million and fully diluted FFO per share increased +30% to $0.07 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
The Company prepares and releases unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and audited consolidated annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. In this and other earnings releases, as a complement to results provided in accordance with IFRS, NexLiving discloses financial measures not recognized under IFRS which do not have standard meanings prescribed by IFRS. These include FFO, FFO (cents per share) – diluted, FFO payout ratio, Debt to GBV and same-property metrics (collectively, the “Non-IFRS Measures”). These Non-IFRS Measures are further defined and discussed in the MD&A dated November 13, 2025, which should be read in conjunction with this news release. Since these measures are not recognized under IFRS, they may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other issuers. The Company presents the Non-IFRS measures because management believes these Non-IFRS measures are relevant measures of the ability of NexLiving to earn revenue and to evaluate its performance and cash flows. A reconciliation of these Non-IFRS measures is included in the MD&A dated November 13, 2025. The Non-IFRS measures should not be construed as alternatives to net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of the Company’s performance.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this press release.
