INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

This interim management statement relates to the 6 months ended 30 June 2026 and contains information that covers the period from 1 January 2026 to 2 September 2026, the date of publication of this interim management statement.

BUSINESS REVIEW

The Company is a subsidiary of Canary Wharf Group plc, Canary Wharf Group Investment Holdings plc, and its ultimate parent undertaking Stork Holdco LP, an entity registered in Bermuda.

The Company is a finance vehicle that issues securities which are backed by commercial mortgages over properties within the Canary Wharf Estate.  The Company is engaged in the provision of finance to the Canary Wharf Group, comprising Canary Wharf Group Investment Holdings plc, and the wider group subsidiaries.  The group owns, manages and develops the Canary Wharf Estate (the 'Estate') in East London.  All activities take place within the United Kingdom. The Company plans to continue trading in the same manner for the foreseeable future.

At 30 June 2026, the Company had loan notes with a nominal value of £1,013,656,617 (31 December 2025 - £1,022,928,574) listed on the London Stock Exchange and had lent the proceeds to a fellow subsidiary undertaking, CW Lending II Limited ('the Borrower') under a loan agreement ('the Intercompany Loan Agreement').  The notes are secured on a pool of properties at Canary Wharf, owned by fellow subsidiary undertakings, and the rental income therefrom.

Going Concern

Having made the requisite enquiries and assessed the resources at the disposal of the Company, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have adequate resources to continue its operation for the foreseeable future.  Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Results for the period

As shown in the company's Income Statement, the Company's loss after tax for the 6-month period was £5,065,291 (period ended 30 June 2025 - loss of £5,053,553).

This loss included hedge reserve recycling recognised in the Income Statement of £5,084,937 (period ended 30 June 2025 - £5,062,483).  Including the hedge reserve recycling impact in other comprehensive income, the profit for the period was £19,646 (period ended 30 June 2025 - £8,930).

The balance sheet shows the Company's financial position at the period end and indicates that net assets were £5,972,906 (31 December 2025 - £5,953,260).

The weighted average maturity of the Company's securitised debt is 7.5 years (31 December 2025 - 7.9 years). The weighted average interest rate of the securitised debt is 6.0% (31 December 2025 - 6.0%).

In the opinion of the Board, these Financial Statements enable shareholders to make an informed assessment of the results and activities of the Company for the period ended 30 June 2026. 

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company faces several principal risks and uncertainties that could significantly impact its business model and financial performance, primarily centred around market and financing risks. 

Market Risk

Market risk is a key risk, as the ability of the Company with the support of group companies to meet debt obligations relies on generating sufficient rental income.  In recent years, businesses have re-evaluated their office space requirements considering remote working trends and changing business models, leading to a decrease in demand for traditional office spaces.  Despite this, the office assets that fund the Company's securitisation have maintained a high occupancy rate in recent years with creditworthy tenants. To further navigate these challenges, a proactive approach is adopted in managing our property portfolio.  This involves closely monitoring market trends, identifying emerging demand patterns, and adapting our properties to meet evolving tenant demands.  Additionally, fostering strong tenant relationships, offering flexible leasing terms, and enhancing the amenities and services within our office buildings and estate helps to differentiate our properties in a competitive market environment.

Financing Risk

Financing risk is another risk given the Company has issued debenture finance in sterling at both floating and fixed rates of interest.  The broader economic cycle inevitably leads to movements in inflation, interest rates and bond yields, which can lead to fluctuations in interest payments.  To manage this risk, the Company uses derivative financial instruments in the form of interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate fluctuations and does not enter into these arrangements for speculative purposes.  All of the Company's borrowings are fixed after taking account of interest rate hedges.  All borrowings are denominated in sterling and the Company has no intention to borrow amounts in currencies other than sterling.

The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements, however the Company's securitisation is subject to a maximum loan minus cash to value ('LMCTV') ratio covenant.  The maximum LMCTV ratio is 100.0%.  Based on the 30 June 2026 valuations of the properties upon which the Company's notes are secured, the LMCTV ratio at the interest payment date in July 2026 was 42.34%.  The securitisation is not subject to a minimum interest coverage ratio.  A breach of certain financial covenants can be remedied by depositing eligible investments (including cash).

The loans to a fellow subsidiary undertaking bear fixed rates of interest between 5.42% and 7.07% and are repayable in instalments between 2005 and 2037.

Other amounts owed by Group companies are non-interest bearing and repayable on demand.

The A7, B3, C2 and D2 tranches of the intercompany loan are carried at fair value.  The A1, A3 and B tranches are carried at amortised cost (see Note 8). The total fair value of the loans to fellow subsidiary undertakings at 30 June 2026 was £1,013,854,072 (31 December 2025 - £1,024,397,153), calculated by reference to the fair values of the Company's financial liabilities. In the event that the Company were to realise the fair value of the securitised debt and the derivative financial instruments, it would have the right to recoup its losses as a repayment premium on its loans to CW Lending II Limited.  As such, the fair value of the loans to Group undertakings is calculated to be the sum of the fair value of the securitised debt and the fair value of the derivative financial instruments.  The carrying value of financial assets represents the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk.

The class A1, A3 and B notes were issued at a premium which is being amortised to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the life of the relevant notes.  At 30 June 2026 £5,616,672 (31 December 2025 - £6,269,602) remained unamortised.

The notes are secured on 5 properties at Canary Wharf, owned by fellow subsidiary undertakings, and the rental income stream therefrom.  The 5 properties are 1 Canada Square, 33 Canada Square, 20 Bank Street, 40 Bank Street and 20 Cabot Square/10 South Colonnade.  

The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge exposure to the variability in cash flows on floating rate debt caused by movements in market rates of interest.  The hedged rates of the floating notes, including the margins, are between 5.40% and 7.06%.

The floating rate notes are carried at fair value through profit or loss.  The fixed rate notes are carried at amortised cost.  The total fair value of the securitised debt at 30 June 2026 was £987,905,085 (31 December 2025 - £982,627,616).  The fair values of the sterling denominated notes have been determined by reference to prices available on the market on which they are traded. 

At 30 June 2026, the fair value of the interest rate derivatives resulted in the recognition of a liability of £25,948,988 (31 December 2025 - £41,769,537).  The fair values of the derivative financial instruments have been determined by reference to the market values provided by a third-party valuer. 

The securitisation continues to have the benefit of an arrangement with AIG which covers the rent in the event of a default by the tenant of 33 Canada Square over the entire term of the lease.  At 30 June 2026, AIG had posted £5,016,790 as cash collateral in respect of this obligation.
