TORONTO, March 3, 2026 /CNW/ - DRI Healthcare Trust (TSX: DHT.UN) (TSX: DHT.U) ("DRI Healthcare") today announced its financial results for the quarter ended and year ended December 31, 2025. DRI Healthcare's annual 2025 financial statements and Management's Discussion & Analysis ("MD&A") have been filed on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca). All dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

"2025 marked a clear inflection point for DRI Healthcare," said Ali Hedayat, Chief Executive Officer of DRI Healthcare. "We successfully completed the internalization of our investment management function while delivering record operating results for the full year. On a total committed basis, including potential near-term milestone payments, we achieved our five-year deployment target of $1.25 billion. These achievements underscore the scalability of our model and the disciplined execution of our team."

"Looking ahead, we expect 2026 to be a foundational year for our new multi-year growth agenda." Hedayat continued. "We have already taken two meaningful steps in 2026 to enhance Unitholder value, announcing the refinancing of the preferred securities, which extends the maturity profile of our existing debt, and the pricing of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes. These transactions are expected to strengthen our capital structure by reducing annual debt amortization while maintaining financial flexibility. I am confident DRI Healthcare is well positioned to continue executing on its growth strategy and delivering durable, compounding returns for Unitholders over the long term."

Liquidity and Capital

On December 31, 2025, DRI Healthcare had cash and cash equivalents of $42.4 million. DRI Healthcare's credit facility had an outstanding principal balance of $381.0 million on December 31, 2025. DRI Healthcare's preferred securities had an outstanding principal balance of $108.9 million on December 31, 2025.

DRI Healthcare had 55,073,836 Units issued and outstanding on December 31, 2025.

Distributions

On November 5, 2025, the board of trustees approved a quarterly cash distribution of $0.10 per Unit to Unitholders of record as of December 31, 2025, which was paid on January 20, 2026.

With the payment of the termination fee of $48 million to the former external manager, DRI Healthcare's regular quarterly distributions were in excess of the taxable income for the 2025 taxation year and, as a result, did not require an additional year-end distribution to distribute all taxable income.

DRI Healthcare also announced today that its board of trustees has increased quarterly cash distribution to $0.11 per Unit for the first quarter of 2026, payable on April 20, 2026, to Unitholders of record as of March 31, 2026.

DRI Healthcare Announces Pricing of $250 Million of Senior Secured Notes

DRI Healthcare today announced that its subsidiary, DRI Healthcare LP (the "Issuer"), has priced $250 million aggregate principal amount of its Senior Secured Notes (the "Notes"). The offering consists of a two-tranche private placement: $106 million of 5.35% Senior Secured Notes due 2031 and $144 million of 5.65% Senior Secured Notes due 2033. The Notes will be sold in a private offering to eligible purchasers. The Notes will bear interest semi-annually, and will rank pari passu with the Issuer's existing amended and restated credit agreement and will be secured by substantially all the assets of DRI Healthcare and its subsidiaries.

The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to repay amounts drawn on the acquisition credit facility and for general corporate purposes, with a view to maximizing its available liquidity to execute on its growth strategy in 2026 and beyond.

The proposed transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and expected to close in or around March 2026.

This news release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. The Notes and the guarantees thereof have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws nor their distribution qualified under the Securities Act (Ontario) or the securities laws of any other Canadian province or territory. The Notes may not be offered or sold (i) in the United States absent registration or applicable exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and (ii) in Canada, absent exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the prospectus requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 to the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with IFRS are presented below.

Total Cash Receipts, Normalized Total Cash Receipts and Total Cash Royalty Receipts

Total Cash Receipts refers to Total Cash Royalty Receipts plus cash receipts from all products. Total Cash Receipts includes cash receipts from interest as well as non-recurring cash receipts.

Total Cash Royalty Receipts refers to aggregate cash royalty receipts and milestone royalty receipts from our portfolio of royalty assets and forms part of Total Cash Receipts. Because of the lag between when we record royalty income and receive the corresponding cash payments on our royalties and milestones, we believe Total Cash Receipts and Total Cash Royalty Receipts are useful measures when evaluating our operations, as they represent actual cash generated in respect of all royalty assets held during a period. We also present Normalized Total Cash Receipts, which refers to Total Cash Receipts adjusted to remove cash receipts that are not expected to recur in the normal course of our operations. We believe that Normalized Total Cash Receipts will assist readers in evaluating the period-over-period performance of our royalty portfolio since Normalized Total Cash Receipts only includes cash receipts generated by royalties and other amounts payable pursuant to the terms of our royalty assets. There were no adjustments required to normalize cash receipts for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

1 Financial royalty assets acquired during the period relate to the Casgevy Transaction, as described on page 8 of DRI Healthcare's MD&A.

2 Non-cash royalty income is related to excess payments received in prior periods from the royalty payer. The amount was previously held as an other current liability before being recognized as revenue in Q4 2025.

3 Acquired royalties receivable represent DRI Healthcare's royalty entitlement to sales occurring prior to the completion of the royalty transactions.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful information about our operating cash flows as it eliminates the effects of other noncash expenses and accruals and income and expenses not expected to recur that have been recorded on the statements of net earnings (loss) and comprehensive earnings (loss). We refer to EBITDA when reconciling our net earnings (loss) and comprehensive earnings (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, but we do not use EBITDA as a measure of our performance.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a useful supplemental measure to demonstrate the operating efficiency of our business on a cash basis.
