Global Education Communities Corp. reported modest revenue growth for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, with total revenues rising 2% year-on-year to $7.6 million and a swing to $0.7 million in net income from continuing operations, aided by markedly improved EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. The company’s first results since divesting most of its educational division underscore a strategic pivot toward student housing, highlighted by ongoing construction at GEC Oakridge, planning progress at its Education Mega Center in Surrey and GEC Langara, near-zero vacancies and premium rents across nearly all operational properties, and the conversion of most mortgages to lower-cost CMHC-sponsored financing, collectively positioning GECC to scale its GEC Living platform and pursue further expansion in 2026.
