Bridgemarq Real Estate Services(TM) Reports Third Quarter Results and Declares Monthly Dividend

Bridgemarq Real Estate Services® Reports Third Quarter Results and Declares Monthly Dividend Canada NewsWire TORONTO, Nov. 14, 2025 TORONTO, Nov. 14, 2025 /CNW/ - Bridgemarq Real Estate Services Inc. ("Bridgemarq" or the "Company") (TSX: BRE) today released its third quarter consolidated financial results and announced a monthly dividend to holders of the Company's restricted voting shares. HIGHLIGHTS Year to date, the Company has grown its network by more than 640 net real estate professionals. Revenue in the third quarter amounted to $122.9 million. Franchise fees increased due to the benefit of fee increases implemented at the start of the year and an increase in the number of REALTORS®. The Company generated Adjusted Net Earnings of $1.0 million and $1.5 million in Free Cash Flow in the third quarter of 2025. The Board of Directors approved a dividend to shareholders of $0.1125 per Restricted Voting Share, payable on December 31, 2025, to shareholders of record on November 28, 2025. THIRD QUARTER OPERATING RESULTS Revenues during the third quarter were $122.9 million, compared to the $126.8 million generated in Q3 of 2024. For the year-to-date, revenues increased from $249.2 million to $308.9 million. The increase in revenues is substantially due to the inclusion of the operating results of the acquired businesses from April 1, 2024. Franchise fees for the quarter and the year-to-date increased due to the benefit of fee increases implemented at the start of the year and an increase in the number of REALTORS®. During the quarter, the Company generated a net loss of $1.7 million or ($0.18) per fully diluted restricted voting share ("Share"), compared to a net loss of $10.8 million or ($1.14) per Share in the same quarter of 2024. The reduced loss in the quarter is largely driven by the valuation of the Exchangeable Units remaining unchanged in the quarter, compared to a loss of $10.8 million in the third quarter of 2024. Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $2.7 million in the same quarter last year. Adjusted Net Earnings, which measures earnings of the business before certain non-cash gains and losses on a fully diluted basis, amounted to $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $2.7 million in 2024. The decrease is primarily due to lower revenues and higher operating expenses, partly offset by lower commissions expense, lower depreciation charges, and lower interest expense on the Company's debt. The Company generated $1.5 million in Free Cash Flow during the third quarter of 2025, a decrease from the $5.3 million generated in the same quarter last year, primarily due to increased capital expenditures in the quarter. "Our agent networks continue to grow, and we continue to enhance the value and experience we deliver. The ability to attract and retain high-performing agents that our brands have demonstrated shows that our tools, technologies and resources are as relevant and competitively preferred as ever, especially in an environment of unpredictable market conditions," said Spencer Enright, Chief Executive Officer, Bridgemarq Real Estate Services Inc. MARKET UPDATE The Canadian residential real estate market grew by 5% in the third quarter compared to the same quarter last year.1 According to the Canadian Real Estate Association, total sales volumes increased 4% and the national average selling price rose 1%. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, unit sales and the average selling price posted decreases of 11% and 2%, respectively. While sales volumes are up compared to last year, buyer activity remains below seasonal norms. Although housing affordability has improved in several major markets, many homebuyers remain cautious, holding back amid ongoing economic uncertainty. Market performance continues to diverge across the country. On a year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter basis, the Greater Toronto Area and Greater Vancouver markets reported declines in average home prices, while the Greater Montreal Area's residential market showed resilience, with continued upward price momentum. On October 29th, in its seventh announcement of 2025, the Bank of Canada reduced its target for the overnight lending rate to 2.25%.2 Pointing to ongoing weakness in the Canadian economy, largely due to the impacts of tariffs and softness in the labour market, specifically in trade-sensitive industries, the central bank chose to cut the policy rate for the second consecutive month in October. The Bank of Canada noted that, despite a slightly higher-than-expected Consumer Price Index (CPI) report in September, it expects inflationary pressures to ease in the months ahead. In September, Canada's CPI increased 2.4% year over year, up from the 1.9% recorded in August.3 ________________________________ 1 CREA Canadian Housing Market Statistics 2  Bank of Canada lowers policy rate to 2¼%, October 29, 2025 3  Consumer Price Index, September 2025, October 21, 2025 CASH DIVIDEND The Company declared a cash dividend of $0.1125 per Restricted Voting Share payable on December 31, 2025, to shareholders of record on November 28, 2025. The dividend distribution represents a target annual dividend of $1.35 per Restricted Voting Share, which is consistent with 2024.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This news release makes reference to Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow per Share as well as Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These financial measures do not have any standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Free Cash Flow represents operating income before deducting interest on leases, share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization and net impairment and write-off of intangible assets, minus current income tax expense, minus additions to property and equipment and intangible assets, minus repayment of contract transfer obligations, minus lease payments. Free Cash Flow per Share is calculated by dividing Free Cash Flow by the total number of Restricted Voting Shares outstanding, on a diluted basis. The Company believes that Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow per Share are useful supplemental measures of performance as they provide investors with an indication of the amount of cash flow generated by the Company which is available to holders of Restricted Voting Shares and Exchangeable Unitholders, subject to working capital and other investment requirements and principal debt repayments, if any. Please see Free Cash Flow reconciled to Cash Flow from Operating Activities for a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to cash flow from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows and Free Cash Flow for further information about Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow per Share. Adjusted Net Earnings represents operating income minus income tax expense. Adjusted Net Earnings per Share is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Earnings by the total number of Restricted Voting Shares outstanding, on a diluted basis. Management believes that Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share are useful supplemental measures as they provide investors with an indication of the operating results of the Company on a fully-diluted basis (excluding certain non-cash or non-recurring items that do not directly impact the ongoing operations of the Company) as if all Exchangeable Units had been converted into Restricted Voting Shares at the beginning of the period presented. Non-cash and non-recurring items excluded from the calculation of Adjusted Net Earnings are comprised of gains or losses on interest rate swaps, gains on settlement of liabilities and losses on amendment of the Company's debt facilities.
