1 Letter to Unitholders Dear Boardwalk Family Forever, We are pleased to have delivered another solid quarter, with Funds From Operations of $1.19 per Unit, up 2.6% year-over-year, and Net Operating Income of $107.2 million, up 2.9% from Q2 2025. These results reflect the resilience of affordable housing across all points in the housing cycle, the irreplaceable value of our vertically integrated operating platform, and our team’s focus on retention and ability to maintain occupancy above market-wide levels. Same property occupancy remained high at 97.0% in Q2 2026, while our average occupied rent of $1,612 continues to provide exceptional relative value for the quality, service and lifestyle offered across our communities. Alberta continues to lead the country in population growth, as a result of positive interprovincial migration and natural population growth resulting from a relatively younger population. The future outlook is bright for the province, with economic growth that is expected to lead the country, and momentum gathering as a result of various positive announcements supporting future job creation across multiple sectors. Year-over-year declines in Alberta construction starts are expected to moderate future new supply over the medium term, which, together with Alberta’s affordability advantage and lifestyle offering, supports the long-term fundamentals for well-located, affordable rental housing.
