Speaker #3: Thanks, Stephen. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us today for our Q1 results. In addition to the solid operating results, that we're going to discuss in our remarks, we've continued to make progress as we simplify our business, lowering costs.

Zachary Vaughan: Thanks, Steven. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us today for our Q1 results. In addition to the solid operating results that we're gonna discuss in our remarks, we've continued to make progress as we simplify our business, lowering costs, Stephanie's gonna give some more details about that specifically, and recycling capital to be redeployed back here. Last quarter, we announced an agreement to sell a portfolio of 32 properties in Europe, and I'm pleased to say that the Netherlands portion of this portfolio closed at the end of April, and the remaining assets in Germany are expected to close in Q2. Our share of net proceeds from the entire transaction will be about CAD 145 million, which is gonna be redeployed to reduce leverage and support future growth.

Speaker #3: Stephanie's going to give some more details about that specifically, and recycling capital to be redeployed back here. Last quarter, we announced an agreement to sell a portfolio of 33 properties in Europe.

Speaker #3: And I'm pleased to say that the Netherlands portion of this portfolio closed at the end of April, and the remaining assets in Germany are expected to close in Q2.

Speaker #3: Our share of net proceeds from the entire transaction will be about $145 million, which is going to be redeployed to reduce leverage and support future growth.

Speaker #3: As we're also, as a reminder, in late August of this year, we'll also be through our lockup period related to our public shareholdings in New Zealand.

Zachary Vaughan: Also, as a reminder, in late August of this year, we'll also be through our lockup period related to our public shareholdings in New Zealand. These capital recycling opportunities, together with our current liquidity of over CAD 400 million, create significant optionality for new investments going forward. During the quarter, we also reactivated our growth activities in Canada. We closed on the transitional care facility that's long-term leased to The Ottawa Hospital, and we advanced progress on our new development with Royal Victoria Hospital, or RVH, in Barrie, where we received zoning approval in April. Once RVH is completed in 2029, the property is gonna generate about CAD 9 million of annual NOI or almost CAD 0.04 a unit. This is income that's fully contracted, it's long term, and it's supported by government credit.

Speaker #3: We closed on the transitional care facility that's long-term leased to the Ottawa Hospital, and we advanced progress on our new development with Row Victoria Hospital, or RVH, in Barry, where we received zoning approval in April.

Speaker #3: Once RVH is completed, in 2029, the property is going to generate about $9 million of annual NOI, or almost $0.04 a unit. This is income that's fully contracted.

Speaker #3: It's long-term, and it's supported by government credit. And as hospitals and health systems across Canada increasingly shift towards outpatient, we're uniquely positioned as a partner of choice.

Zachary Vaughan: As hospitals and health systems across Canada increasingly shift towards outpatient, we're uniquely positioned as a partner of choice and continue to advance discussions with various Canadian health systems in Ontario, Alberta, and Manitoba. We also have an active pipeline of follow-on acquisitions of standing assets at various stages of negotiations across Canada. In the US, we're looking at several opportunities involving large, long-term leased critical healthcare assets and are advancing discussions with potential strategic operating partners. Turning to Q1 results, our same property NOI grew by 3% year-over-year. This is a great result, especially considering it included higher property expenses resulting from our decision to outsource facility management work in our Canadian portfolio. Absent this impact, our same property NOI growth would've been 4%.

Speaker #3: This is a great result, especially considering it included higher property expenses resulting from our decision to outsource facility management work in our Canadian portfolio.

Speaker #3: Absent this impact, our same property NOI growth would have been 4%. In terms of leasing during the quarter, we completed about 324,000 square feet of leasing activity, and we ended the quarter with portfolio occupancy of over 96% and a weighted average lease term of more than 12 years, which is the longest in the REIT sector.

Zachary Vaughan: In terms of leasing during the quarter, we completed about 324,000 sq ft of leasing activity, and we ended the quarter with portfolio occupancy of over 96% and a weighted average lease term of more than 12 years, which is the longest in the REIT sector. From a balance sheet perspective, we've made meaningful progress. Proportionate leverage stands at about 52.5% at the end of the quarter, we expect this to decline below 50% once we receive all the proceeds from the European sale, with our debt to EBITDA at that time expected to be in about the mid 8x range. As I previously mentioned, we have significant available liquidity of more than CAD 400 million before taking into account any additional proceeds from future recycling activities.

Speaker #3: Before handing the call over to Stephanie, just a quick update on Healthscope. We continue to work with the receiver and the creditors toward a resolution that would secure our previously disclosed transaction with a new operator.

Zachary Vaughan: Before handing the call over to Stephanie, just a quick update on Healthscope. We continue to work with the receiver and the creditors toward a resolution that would secure our previously disclosed transaction with a new operator. This transaction would allow all of our hospitals to transition to a top-tier not-for-profit operator. While we would experience a nominal initial financial impact, we would also get the opportunity to participate in the longer term profitability of those hospitals, which based on what we are seeing across all our assets in Australia, just continue to improve. In April, a collective proposal from a number of operators, including our new partner or our potential new partner, was provided to acquire Healthscope's remaining hospitals. Those were the hospitals that did not find a buyer or home during the sales process.

Speaker #3: This transaction would allow all of our hospitals to transition to a top-tier not-for-profit operator. And while we would experience a nominal initial financial impact, we would also get the opportunity to participate in the longer-term profitability of those hospitals.

Speaker #3: Which, based on what we are seeing across all our assets in Australia, just continue to improve. Now, in April, a collective proposal from a number of operators including our new partner, our potential new partner, was provided to acquire Healthscope's remaining hospitals.

Speaker #3: So those were the hospitals that did not find a buyer or home during the sales process. If this is approved by the lenders, this transaction would provide a solution for all the Healthscope hospitals.

Zachary Vaughan: If this is approved by the lenders, this transaction would provide a solution for all the Healthscope hospitals, which is a critical outcome for all the stakeholders involved. Based on what we've seen so far, the lenders and receiver are actively engaging on this proposal, which is encouraging and in our view, moves us closer to a resolution. To summarize just a few takeaways. First, we delivered a solid quarter with same property NOI growth at the upper end of our target range, even taking into account some property expense increases. Second, we have significant financial flexibility through our existing liquidity and anticipated recycling proceeds. Third, we're actively pursuing growth, both through our hospital health and health system partnerships and through follow-on acquisitions in Canada and the US. Fourth, we believe we're getting much closer to a resolution on Healthscope.

Speaker #3: Which is critical outcome for all the stakeholders involved. And based on what we've seen so far, the lenders and receivers, the lenders and receiver are actively engaging on this proposal, which is encouraging.

Speaker #3: And in our view, moves us closer to a resolution. So to summarize, just a few takeaways. First, we delivered a solid quarter with same property NOI growth at the upper end of our target range.

Speaker #3: Even taking into account some property expense increases. Second, we have significant financial flexibility through our existing liquidity and anticipated recycling proceeds. Third, we're actively pursuing growth, both through our hospital head and health system partnerships, and through follow-on acquisitions in Canada and the US.

Speaker #3: And fourth, we believe we're getting much closer to a resolution on Healthscope. So we're pleased that the quarter and the outlook ahead remain quite positive.

Zachary Vaughan: We're pleased with the quarter and the outlook ahead, remains quite positive. The top priority for us is to continue to demonstrate the strength of our portfolio by consistently delivering results, which we have been, and continuing to tell our story and attract new capital to Vital. With that, I'm gonna turn it over to Stephanie.

Speaker #3: A top priority for us is to continue to demonstrate the strength of our portfolio by consistently delivering results, which we have been. And continuing to tell our story and attract new capital to Vital.

Speaker #3: With that, I'm going to turn it over to Stephanie.

Speaker #2: Thanks, Zach, and good morning, everyone. On today's call, I'll walk through Vital Infrastructure's first quarter financial and operating results. Then I'll cover our balance sheet, including our debt maturities and liquidity, before we move over to the question and answer period.

Stephanie Karamarkovic: Thanks, Zach, and good morning, everyone. On today's call, I'll walk through Vital Infrastructure's Q1 financial and operating results. I'll cover our balance sheet, including our debt maturities and liquidity before we move over to question and answer period. Before I begin, a quick reminder on our reporting baseline for 2026. Following the internalization of Vital Trust management structure at the end of 2025, Vital Trust is no longer consolidated within the REIT's results. We now account for our ownership interest as an equity accounted investment, and as a result, certain year-over-year comparisons are affected, particularly NOI, FFO, AFFO, and other proportionate measures. Beginning in 2026, Vital Trust no longer contributes to proportionate NOI, and our investment is reflected in FFO and AFFO through distributions received rather than our proportionate share of underlying operating results.

Speaker #2: Before I begin, a quick reminder on our reporting baseline for 2026. Following the internalization of Vital Trust management structure at the end of 2025, Vital Trust is no longer consolidated within the REIT's results.

Speaker #2: We now account for our ownership interest as an equity accounted investment. And as a result, certain year-over-year comparisons are affected, particularly NOI, FFO, AFFO, and other proportionate measures.

Speaker #2: Beginning in 2026, Vital Trust no longer contributes to proportionate NOI and our investment is reflected in FFO and AFFO through distributions received rather than our proportionate share of underlying operating results.

Speaker #2: This treatment modestly reduced AFFO this quarter compared to the prior year, but it aligns our reporting with the cash distributions we received and provides a simpler, more transparent presentation consistent with how we assess this investment.

Stephanie Karamarkovic: This treatment modestly reduced AFFO this quarter compared to the prior year, but it aligns our reporting with the cash distributions we receive and provides a simpler, more transparent presentation consistent with how we assess this investment. Now turning to results. We delivered a solid start to the year with steady cash flow performance consistent with our long-term strategy. Same property NOI on a proportionate basis grew by 3% year over year to CAD 57.4 million for the quarter, driven by contractual rent escalations, rentalized capital expenditures, higher parking income, and improved cost recoveries. In North America, SPNOI continued to be impacted by higher property operating costs compared with the prior year, primarily due to outsourced transition to outsource facilities management effective in November 2023.

Speaker #2: Now turning to results. We delivered a solid start to the year with steady cash flow performance consistent with our long-term strategy. Same property NOI on a proportionate rate basis grew by 3% year over year to 57.4 million for the quarter, driven by contractual rent escalations rentalized capital expenditures, higher parking income, and improved cost recoveries.

Speaker #2: In North America, SPNOI continued to be impacted by higher property operating costs compared with the prior year. Primarily due to outsourced transition to outsourced facilities management, effective in November of last year.

Speaker #2: Excluding this impact of the transition, overall SPNOI increased by 4% in the quarter compared with the same period last year. FFO was 11 cents for the quarter compared with 10 cents in Q1 of 2025 and 12 cents in Q4.

Stephanie Karamarkovic: Excluding this impact of the transition, overall SPNOI increased by 4% in the quarter compared with the same period last year. FFO was CAD 0.11 for the quarter compared with CAD 0.10 in Q1 of 2025 and CAD 0.12 in Q4. AFFO per unit was CAD 0.10, consistent with Q1 of 2025 and lower than the CAD 0.12 reported in Q4. As previously mentioned, one comparability item to highlight is the treatment of our Vital Trust investment. Beginning in January, following the deconsolidation of Vital Trust, the REIT's AFFO reflects cash distributions rather than our proportionate share of Vital Trust AFFO. This reduced AFFO by CAD 1.7 million or CAD 0.007 per unit compared with Q1 and by CAD 1.4 million or CAD 0.005 per unit compared with Q4 of 2025.

Speaker #2: AFFO per unit was $0.10, consistent with Q1 '25 and lower than the $0.12 reported in Q4. As previously mentioned, one comparability item to highlight is the treatment of our Vital Trust investment.

Speaker #2: Beginning in January, following the deconsolidation of Vital Trust, the REIT's AFFO reflects cash distributions rather than our proportionate share of Vital Trust AFFO. This reduced AFFO by 1.7 million or 0.7 cents per unit compared with Q1 and by 1.4 million or half a cent per unit compared with Q4 of '25.

Speaker #2: Q4 2025 also included a one-time current tax income tax recovery of 1.3 million or 0.6 cents per unit, which did not recur in Q1.

Stephanie Karamarkovic: Q4 2025 also included a one-time current tax income tax recovery of CAD 1.3 million or CAD 0.006 per unit, which did not recur in Q1. Furthermore, the internalization of Vital Trust management had a modest net impact on FFO and AFFO compared with the prior quarter. Lower management fee income of CAD 3.7 million was largely offset by G&A savings of CAD 1.4 million and a reduction in interest expense of CAD 1.7 million from debt repayment using internalization proceeds. Importantly, our AFFO payout ratio remains within our targeted range at 87% this quarter, improving from 92% in the same period last year.

Speaker #2: Furthermore, the internalization of Vital Trust management had a modest net impact on AFFO and on FFO and AFFO compared with the prior quarter. As lower management fee income of 3.7 million was largely offset by GNA savings of 1.4 million, and a reduction in interest expense of 1.7 million from debt repayment using internalization proceeds.

Speaker #2: Importantly, our AFFO payout ratio remains within our targeted range at 87% this quarter. Improving from 92% in the same period last year. With respect to GNA, our proportionate GNA expenses for the quarter excluding unit-based comp and severance were 10.6 million compared with 11.6 million in Q4 and 11.7 million in Q1 of '25.

Stephanie Karamarkovic: With respect to G&A, our proportionate G&A expenses for the quarter, excluding unit-based comp and severance, were CAD 10.6 million compared with CAD 11.6 million in Q4 and CAD 11.7 million in Q1 of 2025. G&A is trending in line with our expectations as we capture savings from our platform simplification initiatives, including the Vital Trust internalization and the sale of the European portfolio. As a significant portion of our European platform transitions to TPG in Q2, we expect further reductions in regional G&A. By the end of 2026, we expect run rate G&A, excluding unit-based compensation and severance, to be approximately CAD 35 million per year, representing an approximate CAD 12 million or 25% decrease from 2025. NAV per unit was CAD 7.55 as of 31 March, unchanged from December.

Speaker #2: GNA is trending in line with our expectations as we capture savings from our platform simplification initiatives, including the Vital Trust internalization and the sale of the European portfolio.

Speaker #2: As a significant portion to TPG in Q2, we expect further reductions in regional GNA. By the end of 2026, we expect run rate GNA excluding unit-based compensation and severance to be approximately 35 million per year, representing an approximate 12 million or 25% decrease from 2025.

Speaker #2: NAV per unit was $7.55 as at March 31st, unchanged from December. NAV was impacted by 35 million of fair value losses in the quarter, primarily related to transaction price adjustments on the European assets held for sale, and 26 million of mark-to-mark losses on Vital Trust units to their trading price at the end of the quarter.

Stephanie Karamarkovic: NAV was impacted by CAD 35 million of fair value losses in the quarter, primarily related to transaction price adjustments on the European assets held for sale, and CAD 26 million of mark-to-market losses on Vital Trust units to their trading price at the end of the quarter. These impacts were partially offset by CAD 42 million of unrealized foreign exchange gains on net equity. Turning to the balance sheet, the REIT's proportionate leverage was 52.7% as of quarter end. Our debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio was 8.6x, down from 8.7x on a comparable basis at 31 December.

Speaker #2: These impacts were partially offset by 42 million of unrealized foreign exchange gains on net equity. Turning to the balance sheet, the REIT's proportionate leverage was 52.7% as of quarter end.

Speaker #2: Our debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio was 8.6 times down from 8.7 times on a comparable basis at December 31st. Our weighted average interest rate was 4.76% with over 86% of our debt fixed rate or hedged, and our weighted average term-to-maturity was 2.3 years.

Stephanie Karamarkovic: Our weighted average interest rate was 4.76%, with over 86% of our debt fixed rate or hedged, and our weighted average term to maturity was 2.3 years. On our near-term maturities, we had approximately CAD 380 million of remaining 2026 maturities at our proportionate share at 31 March. However, subsequent to quarter-end, we have repaid CAD 65 million of Canadian mortgages and CAD 16 million of European mortgages, reducing our near-term maturities to approximately CAD 300 million as of today. The remaining 2026 maturities include CAD 206 million of term loans in our Australian joint venture that matures late in the Q4 of 2026. We are in active discussions with the lending syndicate and expect to renew this facility early in the Q3.

Speaker #2: On our near-term maturities, we had approximately $380 million of remaining 2026 maturities at our proportionate share at March 31st. However, subsequent to quarter end, we have repaid $65 million of Canadian mortgages and $16 million of European mortgages, reducing our near-term maturities to approximately $300 million as of today.

Speaker #2: The remaining 2026 maturities include $206 million of term loans in our Australian joint venture that matures late in the fourth quarter of 2026. We are an active discussion with the lending syndicate and expect to renew this facility early in the third quarter.

Speaker #2: Today, available liquidity is over $400 million providing us meaningful flexibility to execute on our priorities. In closing, our first quarter results demonstrate the durability of our portfolio, our disciplined approach to capital allocation, and the progress we're making to strengthen the balance sheet.

Stephanie Karamarkovic: Today, available liquidity is over CAD 400 million, providing us meaningful flexibility to execute on our priorities. In closing, our Q1 results demonstrate the durability of our portfolio, our disciplined approach to capital allocation, and the progress we're making to strengthen the balance sheet. With resilient healthcare infrastructure demand supporting our assets and a proactive approach to capital management, Vital Infrastructure is well positioned to pursue opportunities and deliver sustained results in the quarters ahead. With that, I'll turn it back to the operator to open it up for Q&A.

Speaker #2: With resilient healthcare infrastructure demand supporting our assets and a proactive approach to capital management, Vital Infrastructure is well positioned to pursue opportunities and deliver sustained results in the quarters ahead.

Speaker #2: So with that, I'll turn it back to the operator to open it up for Q&A.

Speaker #1: This time, to ask a question, simply press star one on your telephone keypad. Again, that is star one to ask a question. Our first question comes from the line of Simer Serenavis with ATB Cormac Capital Markets.

Operator 2: Our first question comes from the line of Sairam Srinivas with ATB Cormark Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Operator: Our first question comes from the line of Sairam Srinivas with ATB Cormark Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Speaker #1: Please go ahead.

Speaker #3: Thank you, Aprilita. Good morning, everybody. Is that—going back to your comments on, you know, acquisitions and the potential opportunities you're seeing both in Canada and down in the US?

Sairam Srinivas: Thank you, operator. Good morning, everybody.

Zachary Vaughan: Morning.

Sairam Srinivas: Zach, going back to your comments on, you know, acquisitions and the potential opportunities you're seeing both in Canada and down in the US. How should we be thinking about the timing of these opportunities? Considering there's a lot of moving parts right now in the business, do you anticipate debt tightly going up in the short term as you kind of consider these opportunities?

Speaker #3: How should we be thinking about the timing of these opportunities and considering there's a lot of moving parts right now in the business? Do you anticipate debt slightly going up in the short term as you kind of consider these opportunities?

Speaker #4: Yeah, that's a good question. I think we're—I mean, our pipeline's very active. I think we're targeting, I think it's safe to assume, a couple hundred million of acquisitions this year, of new acquisitions.

Zachary Vaughan: Yeah, that's a good question. I mean, our pipeline's very active. I think it's safe to assume CAD 200 million of acquisitions this year, of new acquisitions, funded with a combination of recycling proceeds and drawing on our current liquidity. Again, it's possible you see Q1, you know, leverage tick up a little bit and then come down as we repatriate some proceeds from some of these activities. That would not surprise me. Over the long term, we still wanna keep our targets flat.

Speaker #4: Funded with a combination of recycling proceeds, and drawing on our current liquidity. So again, it's possible you see one quarter leverage tick up a little bit and then come down as we repatriate some proceeds from some of these activities.

Speaker #4: That would not surprise me, but over the long term, we still want to keep our targets flat.

Speaker #3: That's good to know. And Zachar, as you kind of consider the potential opportunities for liquidity, how should we be thinking about the vital units you currently hold?

Sairam Srinivas: That's, that's good to know. Zachary Vaughan, as you kind of consider, you know, the potential opportunities for liquidity, how should we be thinking about the Vital units you currently hold? Is it something you'll probably consider liquidating towards the end of the year?

Speaker #3: Is it something you're probably consider probably liquidating towards the end of the year?

Speaker #4: The our New Zealand units, you mean? Right. Yeah, look, we are as part of our transaction, we had various stages of lockup or escrow.

Zachary Vaughan: Our New Zealand units, you mean? Right.

Sairam Srinivas: Yes.

Zachary Vaughan: Yeah, look, we are As part of our transaction, we had various stages of lockup or escrow. After the summer, effectively after August, we are free to create liquidity with that. Although we're not under any pressure to do so, and we wouldn't do it unless economically it made sense, it's certainly an area for us, that we can utilize to create liquidity, and make future investments here.

Speaker #4: After the summer, effectively, after August, we are free to create liquidity with that. So although we're not under any pressure to do so, and we wouldn't do it unless economically it made sense, it's certainly an area for us that we can utilize to create liquidity and make future investments here.

Speaker #3: That's very good. Thank you, Zach. I'll turn it back.

Sairam Srinivas: That's it. Thank you, Zach. That's very much.
