See "Non-IFRS Financial Measures" at the end of this news release.Rental revenue in Q1 2026 increased by 21.7% to $29.1 million, compared to $23.9 million in Q1 2025. The increase in rental revenue reflected growth from properties acquired during and subsequent to Q1 2025 and contractual annual rent increases.The REIT generated total Cash NOI of $23.8 million in Q1 2026, representing an increase of 19.0% compared to Q1 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to properties acquired during and subsequent to Q1 2025 and contractual rent increases. Same Property Cash NOI was $20.4 million in Q1 2026, representing an increase of 2.1% compared to Q1 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to contractual rent increases.The REIT recorded net income and other comprehensive income of $25.3 million in Q1 2026, compared to $7.6 million in Q1 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher NOI and changes in non-cash fair value adjustments for investment properties and interest rate swaps, partially offset by higher interest costs and the change in non-cash fair value adjustment for Class B LP Units, DUs, IDUs, PDUs and RDUs (collectively, "Unit-based compensation") in Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025. The impact of the movement in the traded value of the REIT Units resulted in a decrease in fair value adjustment for Class B LP Units and Unit-based compensation of $0.5 million in Q1 2026, compared to an increase of $0.8 million in Q1 2025.FFO in Q1 2026 increased 20.4% to $15.2 million, or $0.268 per Unit (diluted), compared to $12.6 million, or $0.251 per Unit (diluted), in Q1 2025. The increase in FFO reflected the impact of the properties acquired during and subsequent to Q1 2025 and contractual rent increases.AFFO in Q1 2026 increased 19.1% to $14.8 million, or $0.262 per Unit (diluted), compared to $12.4 million, or $0.247 per Unit (diluted), in Q1 2025. The increase in AFFO reflected the impact of the properties acquired during and subsequent to Q1 2025 and contractual rent increases. Straight-line rent adjustment is excluded from the calculation of AFFO.Cash DistributionsFor Q1 2026, the REIT declared regular cash distributions of $11.33 million, or $0.206 per Unit, and paid distributions of $11.32 million, representing an AFFO payout ratio of 78.6%. The AFFO payout ratio was lower in Q1 2026 compared to the 81.4% AFFO payout ratio in Q1 2025, primarily due to the positive impact of the properties acquired during and subsequent to Q1 2025 and contractual rent increases, partially offset by the 2.2% increase to the REIT's unitholder distributions that was effective for the cash distribution declared in August 2025 and paid in September 2025.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesAs at March 31, 2026, the REIT had a Debt to GBV ratio of 46.3%, $69.0 million of undrawn capacity under its revolving credit facilities, $1.0 million of cash on hand, and 11 unencumbered properties with an aggregate value of approximately $152.9 million. As at the date of this news release, the REIT has a Debt to GBV ratio of 47.8%, approximately $32.5 million of undrawn capacity under its revolving credit facilities, and 13 unencumbered properties with an aggregate value of approximately $195.4 million.As at March 31, 2026, 77% of the REIT's debt was fixed with a weighted average interest rate of 4.48%, a weighted average interest rate swap term and mortgages remaining of 4.2 years, and a weighted average term to maturity of debt of 2.8 years.Units OutstandingAs at March 31, 2026, there were 54,311,229 REIT Units and 833,333 Class B LP Units outstanding.Outlook The REIT is subject to risks associated with inflation, interest rates, currency fluctuations and availability of capital. The REIT is actively monitoring the evolving trade tariff environment and other trade restrictions, and their impact on cross-border trade, material costs, and overall economic market conditions in Canada and the United States. The conflict in the Middle East has resulted in increased commodity prices and could lead to further significant market and other disruptions, including continued volatility in commodity prices and supply of energy resources. While the full extent and impact of these trade tariffs, trade restrictions and geopolitical events remains uncertain, the REIT is continuing to assess their potential effect on its business, property valuations and financial condition.The Canadian and United States automotive and original equipment manufacturer dealership and service industry is highly fragmented, and the REIT expects continued consolidation over the mid to long term due to increased industry sophistication and growing capital requirements for owner operators, which encourages them to pursue increased economies of scale.Financial Statements The REIT's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related Management's Discussion & Analysis ("MD&A") for Q1 2026 are available on the REIT's website at www.automotivepropertiesreit.ca and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.Conference CallManagement of the REIT will host a conference call for analysts and investors on Thursday, May 14, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. (ET).

Forward-looking information includes the REIT's expectations with respect to the impact of changes in economic conditions, including changes in interest rates, currency fluctuation and the rate of inflation, and the impact of tariffs or other trade restrictions, including the impact of each of the foregoing on the REIT and its tenants. Forward-looking information is based on a number of assumptions and is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the REIT's control that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those that are disclosed in or implied by such forward-looking information. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the factors discussed under "Risks & Uncertainties, Critical Judgments & Estimates" in the REIT's MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2025 and in the REIT's MD&A for the interim period ended March 31, 2026 and under "Risk Factors" in the REIT's annual information form dated March 4, 2026, which are available on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and the REIT's website (www.automotivepropertiesreit.ca). The REIT does not undertake any obligation to update such forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as expressly required by applicable law. This forward-looking information speaks only as of the date of this news release. Non-IFRS Financial MeasuresThis news release contains certain financial measures and ratios which are not defined under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other real estate investment trusts or enterprises. FFO, AFFO, FFO payout ratio, AFFO payout ratio, NOI, Cash NOI and Same Property Cash NOI are key measures of performance used by the REIT's management and real estate businesses. Debt to GBV, a supplementary financial measure, is a measure of financial position defined by agreements to which the REIT is a party. These measures, as well as any associated "per Unit" amounts, are not defined by IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS, and therefore should not be construed as alternatives to net income or cash flow from operating activities calculated in accordance with IFRS. The REIT believes that AFFO is an important measure of economic earnings performance and is indicative of the REIT's ability to pay distributions from earnings, while FFO, NOI, Cash NOI and Same Property Cash NOI are important measures of operating performance of real estate businesses and properties. The IFRS measurement most directly comparable to FFO, AFFO, NOI, Cash NOI and Same Property Cash NOI is net income. For reconciliations of NOI, FFO, AFFO and Cash NOI to net income and comprehensive income, please see the tables below. For further information regarding these non-IFRS measures and supplementary financial measures, please refer to Section 1 "General Information and Cautionary Statements – Non-IFRS Financial Measures" and Section 6 "Non-IFRS Financial Measures" in the REIT's Q1 2026 MD&A which is incorporated by reference herein and is available on the REIT's website at www.automotivepropertiesreit.ca and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.Reconciliation of NOI, Cash NOI, FFO and AFFOThree months ended March 31,

Increased rental revenue in Q4 2025 and 2025 reflected growth from the properties acquired during and subsequent to Q4 2024 and contractual rent increases, partially offset by the reduction of rent from the sale of the automotive dealership property located at 8210 and 8220 Kennedy Road and 7 and 13/15 Main Street, in Markham, Ontario (collectively, the "Kennedy Lands") in October 2024.The REIT generated total Cash NOI of $23.2 million in Q4 2025 and $84.8 million in 2025, representing increases of 18.6% and 8.4%, respectively, from Q4 2024 and 2024. The increases were primarily attributable to the properties acquired during and subsequent to Q4 2024 and contractual rent increases, partially offset by the reduction of rent from the sale of the Kennedy Lands. Same Property Cash NOI was $19.8 million in Q4 2025 and $78.4 million in 2025, representing increases of 1.9% and 2.1%, respectively, from Q4 2024 and 2024. The increases were primarily attributable to contractual rent increases.The REIT recorded net income and other comprehensive income of $13.9 million in Q4 2025, compared to $12.0 million in Q4 2024. Net income and other comprehensive income was $43.2 million in 2025, compared to $72.0 million in 2024. The positive variance in Q4 2025 was primarily due to higher NOI and a change in the non-cash fair value adjustment for interest rate swaps, partially offset by higher interest costs and changes in non-cash fair value adjustments for investment properties and for Class B LP Units, DUs, IDUs, PDUs and RDUs (collectively "Unit-based compensation"). The negative variance in 2025 was primarily attributable to changes in non-cash fair value adjustments for investment properties and investment properties held for sale, and for Class B LP Units and Unit-based compensation, partially offset by higher NOI and changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps. The impact of the movement in the traded value of the REIT Units resulted in an increase in fair value adjustment for Class B LP Units and Unit-based compensation of $0.4 million in Q4 2025 (2025 – decrease of $0.1 million), compared to an increase of $1.6 million in Q4 2024 (2024 – increase of $9.1 million).FFO in Q4 2025 increased by 20.4% to $14.3 million, or $0.259 per Unit (diluted), compared to $11.9 million, or $0.236 per Unit (diluted) in Q4 2024. FFO in 2025 increased by 9.9% to $52.6 million, or $1.019 per Unit (diluted) compared to $47.9 million, or $0.953 per Unit (diluted), in 2024. The increases in FFO in Q4 2025 and 2025 reflected the impact of the properties acquired during and subsequent to Q4 2024 and contractual rent increases, partially offset by the reduction of rent from the sale of the Kennedy Lands. The increase to FFO in 2025 was also partially offset by increased G&A expense.AFFO in Q4 2025 increased 18.5% to $13.8 million, or $0.251 per Unit (diluted), compared to $11.7 million, or $0.232 per Unit (diluted), in Q4 2024. AFFO in 2025 increased 10.2% to $51.6 million, or $0.998 per Unit (diluted), compared to $46.8 million, or $0.932 per Unit (diluted), in 2024. The increases in AFFO in Q4 2025 and 2025 were primarily attributable to the impact of the properties acquired during and subsequent to Q4 2024 and contractual rent increases, partially offset by the reduction of rent from the sale of the Kennedy Lands. Straight-line rent adjustment is excluded from the calculation of AFFO.Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations ("ACFO")3 for 2025 was $53.2 million, an increase of 3.9% compared to $51.2 million in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to properties acquired during and subsequent to 2024 and contractual rent increases, partially offset by the reduction of rent from the sale of the Kennedy Lands.Cash DistributionsFor Q4 2025, the REIT declared and paid regular cash distributions of $11.32 million, or $0.206 per Unit, representing an AFFO payout ratio of 82.1%. For 2025, the REIT declared and paid regular cash distributions of $41.14 million, or $0.813 per Unit, representing an AFFO payout ratio of 81.5%. The comparable AFFO payout ratios were 86.6% in Q4 2024 and 86.3% in 2024, respectively. The AFFO payout ratios were lower in Q4 2025 and 2025, primarily due to the positive impact of the properties acquired during and subsequent to Q4 2024 and contractual rent increases, partially offset by the reduction of rent from the sale of the Kennedy Lands and the increase to the REIT's unitholder distributions that was effective for the August 2025 cash distribution. The regular cash distributions noted above exclude the cash portion of the special distribution (the "Special Distribution") that was paid to Unitholders of record as at December 31, 2024.___________________3 ACFO is a non-IFRS measure.

The REIT is actively monitoring the evolving trade tariff environment and other trade restrictions, and their impact on cross-border trade, material costs, and overall economic market conditions in Canada and the United States.

Forward-looking information includes the REIT's expectations with respect to the impact of changes in economic conditions, including changes in interest rates, currency fluctuation and the rate of inflation, and the impact of tariffs or other trade restrictions, including the impact of each of the foregoing on the REIT and its tenants, and the completion of the acquisition of the Vista Property, including the timing thereof and the benefits anticipated to be derived therefrom.

Non-IFRS Financial MeasuresThis news release contains certain financial measures and ratios which are not defined under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other real estate investment trusts or enterprises. FFO, AFFO, FFO payout ratio, AFFO payout ratio, NOI, Cash NOI, Same Property Cash NOI and ACFO are key measures of performance used by the REIT's management and real estate businesses. Debt to GBV, a supplementary financial measure, is a measure of financial position defined by agreements to which the REIT is a party. These measures, as well as any associated "per Unit" amounts, are not defined by IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS, and therefore should not be construed as alternatives to net income or cash flow from operating activities calculated in accordance with IFRS. The REIT believes that AFFO is an important measure of economic earnings performance and is indicative of the REIT's ability to pay distributions from earnings, while FFO, NOI, Cash NOI and Same Property Cash NOI are important measures of operating performance of real estate businesses and properties. The IFRS measurement most directly comparable to FFO, AFFO, NOI, Cash NOI and Same Property Cash NOI is net income. ACFO is a supplementary measure used by management to improve the understanding of the operating cash flow of the REIT. The IFRS measurement most directly comparable to ACFO is cash flow from operating activities. For reconciliations of NOI, FFO, AFFO and Cash NOI to net income and comprehensive income, and ACFO to cash flow from operating activities, please see the tables below. For further information regarding these non-IFRS measures and supplementary financial measures, please refer to Section 1 "General Information and Cautionary Statements – Non-IFRS Financial Measures" and Section 6 "Non-IFRS Financial Measures" in the REIT's MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2025 which is incorporated by reference herein and is available on the REIT's website at www.automotivepropertiesreit.ca and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.Reconciliation of NOI, Cash NOI, FFO and AFFO
