Alastair Hughes, Chair of the Board, commented:

"While the UK currently faces economic and political headwinds which continue to weigh on investor sentiment, following yesterday's Budget and with an expected market recovery underway, we are positive on the outlook for a sector rerating in 2026. Real estate fundamentals remain strong: there continues to be steady demand from an occupier perspective and new supply remains broadly constrained, owing to a scarcity of modern good quality space, persistently high construction costs and capacity constraints in the construction sector. This will create opportunities for our strategy to actively reposition assets and drive higher rental growth."

Nick Montgomery, Fund Manager, added:

"During the period, we have focused on executing a targeted programme of asset management initiatives which will improve the sustainability performance of assets and generate higher income and capital growth, whilst at the same time reducing costs and continuing our non-core asset disposal programme. That programme will continue as we seek to capture the portfolio's attractive £12.1 million of reversion, accelerate earnings growth and maintain our fully covered, progressive dividend policy."
