The two-gate Shariah screen
Every screener on this site runs the same two gates: first, the business must be halal (no conventional insurance, banking, alcohol, gambling, weapons manufacturing, and the like); second, the financial ratios must clear (debt under roughly 33% of market cap, non-compliant income under roughly 5%).
Gate one: the business — permissible senior care
Extendicare, based in Ontario, is a Canadian senior-care operator with brands including Extendicare, ParaMed, Extendicare Assist, and the SGP Purchasing Network. It provides home-health services, operates 97 long-term-care homes (58 owned, 39 managed), and runs group purchasing services. Its core activities are long-term care, publicly funded home-health care, and purchasing services — no haram core business, so the business gate passes.
Gate two: the ratios — both gates clear
At June 30, 2026 (Q2 2026 results, August 6, 2026): total consolidated debt of C$651.3 million, comprising a C$450.0 million senior unsecured note issue (April 2026, 4.35% due 2031), C$103.7 million drawn on the revolver, C$64.9 million of mortgages and loans, and C$32.7 million of lease liabilities (lease liabilities are disclosed as part of the company's consolidated debt table). With a market cap of about C$2.97 billion (MarketBeat, September 29, 2026; share price C$31.22), debt is about 21.9% of market cap — under the ~33% ceiling. Interest revenue was C$0.8 million against revenue of C$611.0 million — about 0.13%, under the ~5% ceiling. (Context: the April 2026 note issue refinanced a term loan and retired certain mortgages, funding the C$570 million CBI Home Health acquisition, which closed April 1, 2026.)
