("Sirius Real Estate", "Sirius", the "Group" or the "Company")
Results for the year ended 31 March 2026
25th consecutive dividend increase underpinned by consistent sustainable FFO growth and strong operational performance driving adjusted NAV ahead of expectations
Sirius Real Estate, the leading owner and operator of branded business and industrial parks providing conventional space and flexible workspace in Germany and the UK, announces its consolidated financial results for the year to 31 March 2026.
Operating platform continues to drive rental and FFO growth
· 4.9% increase in profit before tax to €211.4m (2025: €201.6m) due to strong operational performance and €111.3m valuation gain in 2026 compared to €81.0m gain in the previous financial year.
· 6.4% like-for-like annualised rent roll growth to €224.2m1,2 (31 March 2025: €210.8m) driven by continued strong organic growth and occupier demand in Germany and the UK.
· 8.4% increase in Funds from Operations ("FFO") to €133.5m (2025: €123.2m) with 4.5% increase in FFO per share to €8.82c (2025: 8.44c) and progressing well towards our near term €150m FFO target as well as contributing to the launch of our next target to €175m FFO.
· 29.0% rise in profit after tax to €229.8m (31 March 2025: €178.2m) reflecting release of deferred tax liabilities in the German portfolio following a phased government reduction in the corporate tax rate.
· EPRA EPS decreased by 7.8% to 7.43c (2025: 8.06c) principally due to realised foreign exchange translation effects and finance fees to related to recent financing activities, with the majority of these headwinds incurred in the first half when we reported 2.84c EPRA EPS. Basic earnings per share improved by 24.3% to 15.16c (2025: 12.20c) driven by increased earnings and valuation gains in the period.
Over 12 years' dividend growth with 25 consecutive dividend distributions supported by sustainable FFO growth:
· Progressive H2 dividend of 3.22c per share (2025: 3.09c per share), amounting to a 4.1% uplift in the total dividend for the financial year to 6.40c (2025: 6.15c).
Income driven valuation gains
· 20.5% increase in value of owned investment property portfolio up to €2,969.4 m3 (31 March 2025: €2,465.2m) with €111.3m (2025: €81m) of the uplift achieved through asset management and the remaining € 369.9m from the Company's accretive acquisitions programme.
· Portfolio gross and net yield of 7.5% and 6.8% in Germany (2025: 7.4% and 6.7%) and 12.3% and 8.7% in the UK (2025: 14.1% and 9.5%) respectively for the period.
· Adjusted NAV per share increased by 5.0% to 124.78c (2025: 118.89c), ahead of consensus expectations.
Significant market opportunity captured with €463.3m4 of assets completed or notarised fuelling future rental growth and comprising:
· Nine acquisitions in Germany for €271.1m4 (net of costs) contributing an annualised NOI of €19.8m at an average gross yield of 8.2% and 85.7% occupancy.
· Four transactions in the UK for £166.2m (€192.2m) adding £10.6m (€12.2m) of annual NOI, at an average gross yield of 6.7% and 84.2% occupancy.
· Three of the above assets (€155.8m)4, have a strong defence related tenant base in line with the Company's strategy
Strong balance sheet reinforces financial flexibility and provides the ability to act decisively on acquisitions
· Cash at bank of €372.7m (2025: €571.3m) and €300m undrawn revolving credit facility, providing abundant liquidity ahead of the repayment of the €400.0m bond due in June 2026.
· 36.1% net LTV (2025: 31.4%) and Net Debt to EBITDA of 6.6x (2025: 5.2x).
· Successful €105m bond tap of the Group's 2028 bonds conducted in September 2025 and oversubscribed €88.3m equity raise (€85.9m net of costs) in February 2026, reflecting strong capital markets support for Sirius' proposition.
· Doubled the size of our existing undrawn Revolving Credit Facility to €300.0m while further diversifying our banking syndicate with Barclays joining, ABN Amro, BNP Paribas and HSBC as well as providing additional flexibility for acquisitions and capex investment and debt management.
· 2.5% (2025: 2.6%) weighted average cost of debt and weighted average debt expiry of 3.2 years (2025: 4.2 years) ensures stability, efficiency and long-term flexibility.
Outlook
· The Group is trading in line with management expectations in the new financial year and while we are carefully monitoring the recent conflict in the Middle East on our business we have not at this time seen it impact on occupier demand.
· Sirius continues to assess further growth options in both Germany and the UK on an opportunistic basis, including recycling of mature assets and reinvesting in value-add opportunities.
· Defence and self storage offer particularly compelling growth opportunities in both the UK and Germany.
1 Group rent roll and rental income KPI's have been translated utilising a constant foreign currency exchange rate of GBP: EUR 1.1516, being the closing exchange rate as at 31 March 2026.
2 Vantage Point has been excluded from these performance measures, to provide transparency on underlying portfolio performance, reflecting the asset's scale and tenant concentration at acquisition, with a single managed out tenant representing approximately 500,000 sq ft (46,452 sqm) to enable the Company to actively repurpose the space for future letting.
3 Including assets held for sale.
4 Including one acquisition completed after 31 March 2026.
Commenting on the results, Andrew Coombs, Chief Executive Officer of Sirius Real Estate, said: "Sirius has delivered another strong performance over the past year, demonstrating the continued effectiveness of the Group's asset management programme in driving growth and value, even during times of volatile market conditions. The 38% average return on investment we have generated from upgrading 250,000 sqm of space just through our value add capex programme in the last three years is a real testament to the strength of our team in this respect. This coupled with the diversity and strength of occupier demand for, and appeal of, the spaces we provide is reflected in the fact that we are able to report our 12th consecutive year of like-for-like rent roll growth above 5% today, 8.4% growth in FFO as well as a milestone 25th progressive dividend payout.
"At the same time, we have continued to make good progress in our acquisition programme, investing over €463 million into thirteen attractive assets that sit well under Sirius' operating platform and generate resilient income streams from day one. This included around €155 million into properties with strong defence related or adjacent tenant bases. The projected rise in UK and German government defence spending is expected to have a material effect on demand for the types of industrial space Sirius provides, with the urgency of need making existing stock the only feasible option at scale.
"Additionally, the equity and debt markets have shown continued support for our investment proposition, as demonstrated through the oversubscribed equity raise and successful bond tap during the period. Alongside the doubling of our revolving credit facility in March 2026, these initiatives have reinforced Sirius's financial flexibility and ability to act decisively when opportunities aligned to our strategic priorities arise. While we continue to monitor the situation in the Middle East, we have yet to see it impact our business or occupier demand and we remain confident in our ability to continue to deliver accretive growth on behalf of our shareholders."

About Sirius Real Estate
Sirius is a property company listed on the equity shares (commercial companies) category market of the London Stock Exchange and the premium segment of the main board of the JSE Limited. It is a leading owner and operator of branded business and industrial parks providing conventional space and flexible workspace in Germany and the U.K. As of 31 March 2026, the Group's portfolio comprised 145 assets let to 10,477 tenants with a total book value of approximately €3.0 billion, generating a total annualised rent roll of €258.6 million. Sirius also holds a 35% stake in Titanium, its €350+ million German-focused joint venture with BNP Paribas Asset Management Alts.
The Company's strategy centres on acquiring business parks at attractive yields and integrating them into its network of sites - both under the Sirius and BizSpace names and alongside a range of branded products. The business then seeks to reconfigure and upgrade existing and vacant space to appeal to the local market via intensive asset management and investment and may then choose to refinance or dispose of assets selectively once they meet maturity, to release capital for new investment. This active approach allows the Company to generate attractive returns for shareholders through growing rental income, improving cost recoveries and capital values, and enhancing returns through securing efficient financing terms.

Chair's statement
Disciplined capital allocation in an uncertain environment
The past financial year has been conducted against a backdrop of heightened macroeconomic, geopolitical and capital markets uncertainty. Business confidence across many sectors has been influenced by inflationary pressures, elevated interest rates and political developments, reinforcing the importance of disciplined decision making and a long term perspective. The Board's overriding priority is always prudently to ensure that the Group continues to deliver resilient performance and a well-covered and progressive dividend whilst maintaining balance sheet strength and strategic flexibility. However, against the wider market backdrop it is pleasing to observe consistently strong levels of opportunity for internal and external growth as we seek to deliver further success to our shareholders and scale the business platform.
The Board was pleased to see the Group deliver another year of strong operational progress, including like-for-like rent roll growth of 6.4%, and full year results in line with expectations. This performance reflects the continued effectiveness of the Group's asset management platform across both Germany and the UK, even as market conditions were at times volatile during the year. This has led to our 25th consecutive increased dividend payment for the second half of the financial year.
Throughout the year, the Board worked closely with management to oversee a balanced approach to growth and risk. We placed emphasis on protecting the quality and visibility of the Group's income streams, maintaining prudent leverage and ensuring that capital allocation decisions reflected areas where underlying demand dynamics offered greater clarity. This approach is consistent with the Board's focus on sustainable value creation rather than short term optimisation.
In this context, the Board supported management's decision to prioritise selective investment in assets benefiting from defence and infrastructure related occupier demand, particularly in Germany. Both Germany and the UK have announced material increases in defence spending, with Germany committing very significant fiscal stimulus. In the Board's view, such programmes are expected to translate into more time critical, programme driven demand for industrial space, favouring existing, adaptable stock. While defence related assets remain a modest proportion of the overall portfolio, their inclusion reflects a considered allocation of incremental capital to areas where income visibility is expected to be enhanced at the margin, without altering the fundamentally diversified nature of the Group's business.
Self-storage activity is a further example of this. Adding storage services to existing business parks has been beneficial to occupiers and highly accretive to income for the Group over many years. However, a site use optimisation opportunity has allowed the Group to commence building its first stand-alone self-storage store in Berlin Gartenfeld. This is due to open at the end of the year and we will continue to consider further opportunities to allocate capital to dedicated self-storage stores in both Germany and the UK. From an overall perspective, we do not rule out the possibility of allocating capital into the UK in the near term, particularly where defence and self-storage is concerned; however, we continue to see Germany as the market into which the majority of our near-term capital investment will be made.
The Board has carefully considered the Group's capital structure during the year, recognising the need for prudence and aligning with the preferences of our supportive shareholder base. We welcomed the strength of investor support demonstrated through the February 2026 equity raise, the debt market support for our bond tap in September 2025 and the increase of the Group's revolving credit facility in March 2026. These actions reinforce the Group's financial flexibility and ability to act decisively where opportunities align with strategic priorities and reflect investor confidence in the Company's ability to deliver accretive growth together with a well-covered and progressive dividend. At the same time, the Board continues to emphasise disciplined capital recycling, ensuring that mature and non-core assets are disposed of where value add potential has been maximised and capital can be redeployed more effectively elsewhere.
Importantly, the Board continues to pursue the Group's established strategy that positions it strategically for the future. Active asset management, disciplined leasing, portfolio diversification and a strong internal operating platform remain central to how the Group creates value. The actions taken during the year represent a measured evolution of capital allocation within this framework, shaped by prevailing market conditions and informed by the objective of improving visibility over leasing outcomes and leveraging the scalability of the business platform. It is this adaptability that makes Sirius an interesting proposition.
I would like to thank the Executive team and all colleagues across Germany and the UK for their continued commitment and professionalism. Their ability to deliver sustained organic growth while adapting to a challenging external environment underpins the Board's confidence in the Group's long term prospects.

Asset management review - Group
A people-led operating platform delivering resilient income growth
Introduction
The Asset management review sets out how the Group's people-led operating platform delivered performance across the portfolio during the year. The review is structured around the five value drivers that underpin the Asset Management Strategy and demonstrates how operational execution translated into income growth, occupancy management, valuation resilience and cash generation.
During the year, the Group continued to deliver strong organic performance across both Germany and the UK, despite an uneven macroeconomic backdrop. Like-for-like rent roll growth remained robust, driven by leasing execution, disciplined pricing and targeted investment into vacant and sub-optimal space. This performance reflects the effectiveness of the Group's asset management platform and the resilience of demand for the flexible, functional space Sirius provides.
Alongside organic growth, asset management activity supported valuation stability and balance sheet strength. Capital expenditure was deployed selectively to enhance income and improve space utilisation. Cash collection remained strong across the portfolio, supporting earnings quality and financial resilience.
The sections below provide further detail on performance during the year, aligned to each of the Group's five asset management value drivers.
Platform delivers rent roll growth across both markets
Active leasing execution remained the primary driver of organic income growth across the portfolio during the year. The Group delivered 6.4% like-for-like rent roll growth to €224.2m (31 March 2025: €210.8m), reflecting disciplined pricing and effective management of lease events across both operating platforms.
This performance was supported by continued strength in achieved rates. The Group's like-for-like average rate increased to €9.39 per sqm (31 March 2025: €8.93 per sqm), demonstrating the operating platform's ability to capture rental uplifts while maintaining appropriate flexibility for occupiers.
Including acquisitions, total rent roll increased by 18.4% to €258.6m (31 March 2025: €218.4m), reflecting the continued deployment of capital into income-generative assets alongside organic growth delivered through the standing portfolio.
Occupier demand remained resilient, with like-for-like occupancy improving to 87.5% (31 March 2025: 86.5%), although total occupancy decreased slightly to 85.0% (31 March 2025: 85.9%) due to portfolio changes and the natural timing of vacancy associated with acquisitions and asset management activity. It is the nature of Sirius' strategy that occupancy fluctuates as we acquire sites with lower occupancy with a view to realising the potential of the vacancy and recycle mature more highly occupied assets.
Cash collection remained strong at 98.3% (31 March 2025: 98.3%), supporting earnings quality and reinforcing the resilience of the Group's diversified, multi-let tenant base.
Performance by geography is outlined below.

Lettings and rental growth
During the year, the German operating platform delivered continued strong organic performance, supported by active leasing, disciplined pricing and targeted capital investment across the standing portfolio. As illustrated in the key metrics and supporting tables, like-for-like rent roll growth remained robust, reflecting the resilience of occupier demand and the effectiveness of the Group's established asset management model in Germany.
Total rent roll increased during the year, driven by a combination of organic income growth and acquisitions integrated into the existing operating platform. Like-for-like rent roll growth was achieved through a mix of contractual uplifts, renewals and re-letting at higher rates, supported by effective management of lease events and close engagement with tenants. This performance demonstrates the ability of the German platform to convert leasing activity into sustainable income growth across economic cycles.
Average achieved rates increased on a like-for-like basis, reflecting pricing discipline and continued demand for functional, adaptable space across the portfolio. This rate growth was achieved alongside broadly stable occupancy, evidencing management's focus on balancing income growth with tenant retention and affordability.
Occupancy across the portfolio remained stable during the year, with like-for-like occupancy improving as vacant and under-utilised space was progressively let up. The portfolio continues to comprise a mix of mature assets and value-add assets, with remaining vacancy providing clear, defined opportunities for further income growth through active asset management, subject to disciplined capital deployment and tenant demand conditions. The tables illustrate that a significant proportion of vacancy sits within value-add assets, where targeted investment and space reconfiguration support higher future rent roll potential.

Cash collection
Cash collection remained strong and consistent, reflecting the quality and diversification of the German tenant base and the effectiveness of credit control and tenant engagement processes. No single tenant or sector dominates the rent roll, supporting income stability and reducing exposure to individual tenant stress or sector-specific shocks.
Capex investment programme
Capital expenditure during the year was deployed selectively to protect and grow the earnings base, with investment focused on the conversion of vacant space, refurbishment of returned units and targeted improvements to enhance lettability and income potential. These programmes continue to generate attractive returns and support both near-term rent roll growth and longer-term valuation resilience.
Value-add capex
This capex investment programme is a key driver of value creation and has historically been focused on the transformation of poor quality vacant space as well as upgrading of space returned each year as a result of move-outs. Other than significantly improving income and valuation for the Company, these programmes have also been integral in reducing service charge irrecoverables as well as rolling out the Company's product offering such as market-aligned Smartspace or self-storage under the brand MyLager.
In the last three years the Company has transformed 257,282 sqm of space for an investment of €29.2m. At 31 March 2026 this space was generating €11.2m in rent roll (at 80% occupancy). This transformed space has also been a major contributor towards the large valuation increases seen on the portfolio.

The actual data above includes projects that were recently completed and are yet to reach budgeted occupancy levels with the rental upside still to come.
Renewals capex
Furthermore, the Company has successfully renewed major tenants' leases by investing in their spaces in order to retain them on site for longer terms as well as achieve an incremental income improvement post renewal. In the last three years 211,436 sqm were renewed as a result of this capex investment programme which has resulted in an incremental increase in rent roll of €2.7m. Renewing these leases has also improved the valuation of the assets and helped to reduce the irrecoverable service charge position. The details of this programme are included in the table below:

New builds and major investments
In addition to the value-add and renewals capex investment programmes investing into the existing spaces of the portfolio the Company has identified the potential of creating new builds on excess land, as well as transforming significantly structural buildings into higher-quality newly built structures. As of 31 March 2026, an additional 891 sqm hall in the Berlin Gartenfeld property has been completed for an investment of €1.7m and has already been fully let generating €0.13m in annualised rental income, which has contributed to a further increase in the value of the asset by €0.4m after capex. The Company has a further 10,426 sqm in running projects and identified a pipeline of 9,276 sqm of newly built spaces currently in the planning phase. The combined development cost of these projects is estimated at €29.0m and is expected to increase the rent roll by €2.7m as well as an €11.1m increase in valuation after capex. When evaluating new build projects the capital is assessed relative to acquiring new sites or other capex investment; hence, the achieved ungeared IRRs on projects completed to date have been highly attractive.

Vacancy analysis
In addition to the capex investment programmes completed in the last three years, the Company has identified further opportunities to increase the value-add capex programme by investing in vacancy on acquired sites as well as upgrading spaces returned each year as a result of move-outs. Within the existing vacancy at 31 March 2026, the Company has identified approximately 64,079 sqm of such space which will require an investment of approximately €11.4m and has an estimated rental value of €5.3m when fully let. Additionally, the Company plans to convert 2,391 sqm of structural void building into a new build as part of the New Builds and Major Investments capex programme. Upgrading these spaces allows the Company to enhance the reversionary potential of the portfolio whilst significantly improving the quality, desirability and hence value of not only the space that is invested into but the whole site.
The analysis below details the sub-optimal space and vacancy at 31 March 2026 and highlights the potential opportunity from developing this space.

The German portfolio's headline 85% occupancy rate means that in total 299,013 sqm of space is vacant at 31 March 2026. When excluding the vacancy which is subject to investment (3% of total space), and the structural vacancy which is not economically viable to develop (3% of total space), the Company's occupancy rate based on space that is readily lettable is approximately 91%.
Whilst the capex investment programmes are a key part of Sirius' strategy, they represent one of several ways in which the Company can organically grow income and capital values. A wide range of asset management capabilities including the capturing of contractual rent increases, uplifts on renewals and the re-letting of space at higher rates are also expected to contribute to the Company's rent roll growth going forward.
Whilst the Company will continue to look to asset recycling to replenish the vacancy which is let up after transformation, the Company maintains a risk-adjusted strategy and expects to continue to hold a significant amount of core mature assets in order to maintain a balanced portfolio that provides a combination of stable, long-term financeable income with value-add assets with growth potential.
Well-diversified income and tenant base
The German portfolio benefits from a well-diversified tenant base, with income spread across production, storage and office uses, and a large number of SME tenants alongside long-term anchor occupiers. This diversity underpins the resilience of cash flows and supports consistent leasing activity across market conditions.
The table below illustrates the diverse nature of tenant mix within the Sirius portfolio at the end of the reporting period:

Smartspace and First Choice
Smartspace products continued to play an important role within the German portfolio, contributing higher-yielding income and supporting flexibility for occupiers. Growth in Smartspace rent roll reflects a combination of rate progression and incremental increases in occupied space, underlining the effectiveness of converting previously sub-optimal or structurally vacant areas into income-producing accommodation. While occupancy within Smartspace moderated during the year, this reflects the ongoing expansion of the product offering rather than a deterioration in underlying demand.

(1) Excluding Vantage Point, unless otherwise noted, throughout this Strategic report. Vantage Point has been excluded from these performance measures, to provide transparency on underlying portfolio performance, reflecting the asset's scale and tenant concentration at acquisition, with a single managed out tenant representing approximately 500,000 sq ft (46,452 sqm) to enable the Company to actively repurpose the space for future letting.
Lettings and rental growth
The UK operating platform delivered a year of strong rent roll growth and resilient underlying performance, supported by acquisition-led expansion alongside continued progress within the standing portfolio. As illustrated in the Key metrics table, rent roll increased by 19.5% to £81.1m (€93.4m), while like-for-like rent roll grew by 4.6%, reflecting effective leasing execution, customer retention and disciplined asset management.
Growth during the year was driven primarily by acquisitions, which contributed £12.0m (€13.8m) of additional rent roll, alongside continued organic progression within the existing estate. This combination supports the Group's UK strategy of scaling the platform to capture operational leverage, while maintaining pricing discipline and income durability across the core portfolio.
Movements in average rental rates must be considered in the context of portfolio mix. As shown in the table, the average portfolio rental rate declined by 5.6% to £11.77 per sq ft, reflecting the strategic addition of larger-scale industrial assets acquired during the year, most notably Hartlebury Industrial Estate, which carries a lower average rent per sq ft due to its size and use profile. This dilution effect is a consequence of asset mix rather than a weakening in underlying pricing.
On a like-for-like basis, excluding acquisitions, achieved rates per sq ft increased by 4.0%, demonstrating that underlying pricing across the core UK portfolio remains resilient and that occupancy growth has not been achieved at the expense of pricing integrity. Like-for-like rent roll growth was driven primarily by contractual uplifts and renewals, supported by strong customer retention and proactive day-to-day asset management.
Occupancy trends further reinforce this distinction. While total occupancy declined to 83.7%, reflecting the inclusion of newly acquired assets with lower in-place occupancy at acquisition, like-for-like occupancy improved to 91.7%. This highlights improving underlying demand and the effectiveness of void management and retention initiatives across the established estate.
Vantage Point Business Village
Vantage Point Business Village, Gloucester, acquired in April 2024, is presented separately within the Group's UK disclosures to provide transparency on underlying portfolio performance, reflecting the asset's scale and tenant concentration at acquisition, with a single occupier representing approximately 500k sq ft.
During the year, asset management activity at the site included the managed exit of the single largest tenant and the re-letting of approximately one-third of the resulting vacant space at a rate replacing more than half of the previous rent. The remaining vacant space is being progressed through a combination of subdivision, refurbishment and change-of-use initiatives.
Accordingly, Vantage Point has been excluded from the underlying LFL performance metrics presented above for the year. Including Vantage Point, the LFL metrics show that the rate would have increased by 8.5%, occupancy would have decreased by 4.3% and the combined effect would have resulted in a 2.7% rent roll growth in the UK.
The below outlines the movement in rent roll for the year.

Excluding acquisitions, higher move-outs (including Vantage Point as referenced above) than move-ins reflect a deliberate rebalancing of customer mix, with customers departing generally occupying higher-priced space. This has been managed proactively through space recycling, targeted refurbishments and repositioning activity. Contracted uplifts of £3.6m provided additional support to the sustainability of like-for-like growth and income quality.
Despite a challenging economic and political environment, letting activity remained robust, supported by higher enquiry volumes and increased absolute deal numbers. While conversion rates softened slightly year-on-year, improved enquiry flow and deal activity contributed to occupancy improvement and reflect sound alignment between space configuration, affordability and occupier demand.
Cash collection
The twelve month rolling cash collection remained strong at 98.8%, unchanged year-on-year, despite the increase in total billings arising from acquisitions. This performance reflects the resilience of the UK tenant base and the effectiveness of the Group's credit control and customer engagement processes.
Site investment
Capital investment continues to be deployed to protect and grow the earnings base, with expenditure focused on maintaining asset quality, improving the configuration of space, supporting occupancy growth and delivering targeted value-add initiatives. Total capital expenditure of £14.4m (€16.7m) (31 March 2025: £10.9m (€13.0m)) during the year reflects the continued emphasis on investment that supports rent roll growth, future reversion and portfolio resilience, including selective investment in higher-yielding space and ESG-focused initiatives to improve efficiency and mitigate regulatory and obsolescence risk. Capital deployment also supported the integration and optimisation of newly acquired assets and the continued expansion of the self-storage offering.
Capital expenditure was primarily focused on improving the condition and configuration of space, supporting occupancy levels and rental growth across the portfolio. The increase in investment reflects the Company's continued focus on value-add initiatives, with over 40% of total spend allocated to projects expected to drive growth in rent roll. These initiatives include investment to expand and enhance higher yielding space, reflecting the evolving mix of customer demand across the portfolio.
The ESG focused investment, including energy efficiency initiatives and projects, aims to improve EPC performance, alongside continued selective investment to enhance the customer experience. Investment activity during the year also reflects the expansion of the portfolio through acquisitions, with capital expenditure supporting the integration and optimisation of newly acquired assets, as well as continued growth in the self-storage business. Defensive capital expenditure accounted for the remainder of the total spend.
Well-diversified income and tenant base
The UK portfolio benefits from a well-diversified tenant base, as illustrated in the tenant analysis table, with income spread across industrial, office, studio and storage uses. No single tenant or sector dominates the rent roll, reducing concentration risk and supporting income stability across market cycles. The platform continues to demonstrate a strong ability to attract and retain SME tenants, which remain central to the UK occupier proposition.

SMEs in the UK are typically defined as companies with revenues of up to £50.0m and up to 250 employees. The Company's internal operating platform and product offering have a strong track record of attracting and retaining tenants in this segment of the market which is expected to continue to grow as a result of structural trends impacting the UK market.
Overall, the UK asset management performance during the year reflects a platform actively transitioning from acquisition-led expansion towards stabilisation and optimisation, with improving occupancy, robust cash collection and increasing visibility of leasing outcomes. This positions the UK portfolio to contribute more consistently to the Group's income base over time.
Financial review
Sustainable FFO growth delivered through operational performance and disciplined capital allocation
"Sirius has achieved another year of FFO growth, driven by organic and acquisitive growth which has ensured we have been more than able to digest the ongoing increases in finance expense. It was another year of capital raising, with a very well-supported equity raise alongside a bond tap and the introduction of a revolving credit facility which was later doubled to €300m. This support sets us up for future growth and whilst we will continue to face finance cost headwinds, we are confident of being able to continue to deliver sector leading growth and income."
Chris Bowman
Chief Financial Officer
Trading performance and earnings
Sirius recorded funds from operations (FFO) of €133.5m, an increase of 8.4% compared with the prior year (31 March 2025: €123.2m), reflecting the continued conversion of rental income growth into recurring cash earnings. FFO growth was achieved despite an increase in finance costs, demonstrating the underlying resilience of the Group's income base and operating platform.
Total revenue increased by 9.4% to €347.5m (31 March 2025: €317.5m), while profit before tax increased to €211.4m (31 March 2025: €201.6m). The Group delivered strong organic growth, with like-for-like rent roll increasing by 6.4%, driven by pricing discipline, positive leasing spreads and effective occupancy management across both Germany and the UK. Including acquisitions, total rent roll increased by 18.4%, reflecting disciplined capital deployment into income-producing assets.
On a diluted basis, EPRA earnings per share decreased by 8.3% compared with the prior year. This movement primarily reflects foreign exchange translation effects, increased share based payment charges, financing fees related to fundraising activities and dilution from equity raised in the period.
On a per share basis, FFO per share increased by 4.5% to 8.82 cents, reflecting earnings growth partially offset by the dilutive impact of the February 2026 equity raise.

Portfolio valuation - Group
The portfolio of owned assets was independently valued at €2,943.8m by Cushman & Wakefield LLP at 31 March 2026 (31 March 2025: €2,469.4m), which converts to a book value of €2,960.5m (31 March 2025: €2,488.1m) after the adjustments in relation to lease incentives and inclusion of leased investment property. Valuation movements during the year primarily reflect the conversion of income growth and leasing execution into asset values, rather than changes in market yields. Net valuation gains of €111.3m were recorded after capital expenditure (31 March 2025: €81.0m), demonstrating the earnings led nature of valuation performance across the portfolio.

Portfolio valuation - Germany
The book value, including acquisitions, of the owned German portfolio increased by €320.0m or 16.9% from €1,890.6m to €2,210.6m. This included an increase in valuation (above capex and broker fees) on those assets owned in the period of €110.2m driven by a like-for-like increase of €10.2m in rent roll and a small amount of gross yield compression (1bp). The entire German portfolio including the acquisitions purchased in the period is valued at an average gross yield of 7.5% (31 March 2025: 7.4%) which translates to a net yield of 6.8% (31 March 2025: 6.7%) and an EPRA net initial yield (including estimated purchaser costs) of 6.3% (31 March 2025: 6.3%).
Yield movement during the year was limited, underlining that valuation gains were largely income led rather than driven by market yield compression. The portfolio continues to comprise a mix of mature and value-add assets, with remaining vacancy and reversionary potential providing further opportunity for income growth through active asset management subject to disciplined capital deployment and tenant demand conditions, as described in the Asset management review - Germany section of this report.

Portfolio valuation - UK
At 31 March 2026, the UK portfolio was independently valued by Cushman & Wakefield LLP at £658.9m (€758.8m) (31 March 2025: £480.0m (€552.8m)), representing an increase of £178.9m (€206.0m), including assets acquired in the period, compared to the prior year valuation. The increase in portfolio value reflects both strategic acquisition activity and organic like-for-like growth, which together more than offset the impact of asset disposals from the prior year. During the year, we acquired four properties totalling £166.2m (€192.2m); this includes the acquisition of Hartlebury Industrial Estate for £107.0m (€123.2m) marking a significant milestone for the portfolio, given its scale, strategic location and income-generating profile.
In line with our active portfolio management strategy, we also disposed of two non-core properties with a book value of £2.7m (€3.0m).
On a like-for-like basis, the portfolio increased in value by £19.6m (€22.6m) or 4.1% to £496.9m (€572.2m) when compared to the value at 31 March 2025 of £477.3m (€549.6m) which was driven by a €2.8m (4.6%) uplift in like-for like revenue and a 20bps net yield compression which can be contributable to the on-going increased performance of the sites supported by sustained tenant demand and stable rental income reflecting the continued execution of the Company's Asset Management Strategy. The portfolio delivered a total average gross yield of 12.3% (2025: 14.1%) and a like-for-like net yield of 9.3% (2025: 9.5%). The 20 basis point tightening in net yield was fully supported by a corresponding increase in the rent roll over the year, contributing positively to the like-for-like valuation uplift.

The EPRA NTA per share, which, like adjusted NAV per share, excludes the provisions for deferred tax but also includes the potential impact of shares issued in relation to the Company's long-term incentive programmes and excludes intangible assets, was 122.71c, an increase of 4.3% from 117.61c at 31 March 2025.
Financing
During the year, the Group undertook a number of financing actions to support disciplined capital deployment while maintaining balance sheet resilience in a volatile market environment. These actions included a targeted equity raise to fund identified acquisition opportunities, a tap of the Company's 2028 bonds and the introduction and subsequent doubling of the Group's revolving credit facility, to enhance liquidity and flexibility, and the ongoing management of the Group's predominantly unsecured debt programmes. Collectively, these measures strengthened the Group's funding position, supported the execution of its investment strategy and ensured continued compliance with financial covenants while preserving financial flexibility.
The increase in net loan to value to 36.1% (31 March 2025: 31.4%) reflects the timing of acquisitions completed during and shortly after the year end, ahead of the full income contribution from those assets. The Group reported a weighted average cost of debt of 2.5% (31 March 2025: 2.6%), a weighted average debt maturity of 3.2 years (31 March 2025: 4.2 years), and interest coverage at EBITDA level of 7.3x (31 March 2025: 6.3x).

Dividend
The Board has approved the Company's 25th consecutive half yearly dividend increase, with 3.22 cents per share payable to shareholders for the second half of the financial year ended 31 March 2026. Combined with the first half dividend of 3.18 cents per share, this marks a 4.1% increase from the total dividend of 6.15 cents declared for the previous financial year ended 31 March 2025. Dividend decisions continue to be made with reference to FFO and balance sheet capacity, rather than valuation movements.
Further details regarding the dividend distribution and announcement can be found in note 28 of the Annual Report and Accounts.
Summary
The Group delivered another year of resilient financial performance, characterised by strong FFO growth, disciplined capital allocation and balance sheet strength. Organic income growth across both platforms, supplemented by accretive acquisitions, supported cash earnings progression despite continued finance cost headwinds.
The Company's strong financial profile, along with its proven internal operating platform, means the Company is fully capable of taking advantage of opportunities that arise, adapting to changing market conditions, as evidenced by our investment into properties with defence-related tenants. With acquisition firepower available, further vacancy to develop and reversion potential to capture, the Company looks forward to continuing to deliver attractive and sustainable returns for shareholders in the future.

Statement of Directors' responsibilities
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and Accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, they have prepared the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the IASB and applicable law.
Under The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and of its profit or loss for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:
• select suitable accounting policies in accordance with IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors" and then apply them consistently;
• make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
• present information, including accounting policies, in a manner that provides relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable information;
• state that the Group has complied with IFRS as issued by the IASB, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
• provide additional disclosures when compliance with the specific requirements of IFRS as issued by the IASB is insufficient to enable users to understand the impact of particular transactions, other events and conditions on the Group's financial position and performance; and
• prepare the Group's financial statements on a going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to do so.
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the Annual Report and Accounts complies with The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008. They are responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Company and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
1. General information
Sirius Real Estate Limited ("the Company") is a company incorporated in Guernsey and resident in the United Kingdom for tax purposes, whose shares are publicly traded on the equity shares (commercial companies) category of the London Stock Exchange (LSE) (primary listing) and the prime segment of the main board of the JSE Limited (JSE) (primary listing).
The consolidated financial information of the Company comprises that of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "the Group" or "Sirius") for the year ended 31 March 2026.
The principal activity of the Group is the investment in, and development of, industrial, warehouse, office properties and storage spaces to provide conventional and flexible workspace in Germany and the United Kingdom (UK).
2. Material accounting policies information
(a) Basis of preparation and statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for investment properties and investment properties held for sale, that have been measured at fair value. The consolidated financial information is presented in euros and all values are rounded to the nearest hundred thousand shown in millions (€m), except where otherwise indicated.
The Company has prepared its annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, the JSE Listings Requirements and The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the accounting policies set out in the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025, except for the changes in accounting policies as shown in (b) below.
(b) Changes in accounting policies
New and amended standards and interpretations
The Group applied for the first time certain new standards, amendments and interpretations, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025 (unless otherwise stated).
• Amendments to IAS 21 - Lack of exchangeability.
There has been no material impact on the financial statements of adopting any new standards, amendments and interpretations.
A number of new standards, amendments and interpretations have been issued but are not yet effective for the Group and have not been early adopted as listed below:
Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026:
• Amendments to IFRS 7 and IFRS 9 - Contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity;
• Amendments to IFRS 7 and IFRS 9 - Amendments to the classification and measurement of financial instruments; and
• Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards - Volume 11 - Clarifications, simplifications, corrections or changes to improve consistency in:
• IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards;
• IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and its accompanying Guidance on implementing IFRS 7;
• IFRS 9 Financial Instruments;
• IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements; and
• IAS 7 Statements of Cash Flows.
Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027:
• Amendments to IAS 21 - Translation to a hyperinflationary presentation currency;
• IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability; and
• IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements.
The application of these new standards, amendments and interpretations is not expected to have a material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements with the exception of IFRS 18. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and becomes effective for periods beginning on, or after, 1 January 2027 and will apply to comparative information. It introduces new requirements for the structure of the income statement, including classification of income and expenses into newly prescribed categories, which may affect the presentation of operating profit. The standard also introduces additional disclosure requirements for management-defined performance measures (MPMs). The Group is currently assessing the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements and expects changes primarily related to presentation and disclosures.
(c) Going concern
The Directors have assessed the Group's financial position, cash flow forecasts and principal risks and uncertainties in determining whether it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
The Directors have assessed the Group's going concern for the period to 31 October 2027 (the "going concern period"), a period greater than twelve months, chosen to align with its historical application of the period and to cover all upcoming subsidiary audits of the Group. In performing this assessment, the Directors have considered the Group's forecast profitability, liquidity, the timing of debt maturities, covenant compliance and the potential impact of external events which could adversely affect the Group's operations.
The Directors have considered a base case forecast together with a severe but plausible downside scenario. The base case reflects the Group's expected operational performance, and the downside scenario applies a combination of stresses to the base case assumptions, including reductions in occupancy and rental income, increased irrecoverable service charge costs, elevated inflation costs on operating costs which are not recovered from tenants and reductions in property values. These stresses are designed to capture the plausible risk scenarios facing the Group as a result of adverse macroeconomic conditions, tenant distress and cost volatility which could impact the Group's cash flows, profitability and impact on key covenants.
The assessment also considers geopolitical uncertainty and energy market volatility. In this context, the Group's exposure to utility cost inflation is mitigated through a combination of executed price fixing arrangements, contractual recovery mechanisms and the application of explicit service charge recovery stresses within the downside scenario.
The base case and severe but plausible downside scenarios include the following assumptions applied to the portfolio:
• 5.5% growth per annum in rent roll at 31 March 2026, principally from contractual increases in rents and organic growth through lease renewals;
• increasing cost levels in line with forecast inflation;
• continuation of forecast investment programs;
• continuation of forecast dividend payments in line with historical dividend payouts and UK REIT requirements;
• payment of contractual loan interest and loan amortisation amounts, as well as repayment of the €400.0m corporate bond due June 2026; and
• only acquisitions and disposals which are contractually committed or Board approved are made, which includes two post balance sheet acquisitions amounting to €143.7m and one disposal amounting to €30.0m.
Severe but plausible downside scenario:
• 10% reduction in occupancy and rental income per annum from base assumptions;
• 10% per annum reduction in service charge recovery (i.e. higher irrecoverable) from base assumptions;
• 10% reduction in property valuations per annum; and
• cost inflation above that forecasted.
In both the base case and the severe but plausible downside scenario, the Group is forecast to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities as they fall due throughout the going concern period and to remain above its minimum working capital requirements at all times. No financial covenant breaches occurred during the financial year and there are no forecast breaches in either scenario.
The forecasts do not rely on the completion of any uncommitted refinancing, equity issuance or asset disposals. In addition, the Directors have considered the availability of mitigating actions within management control, including the reduction or deferral of discretionary capital expenditure and discretionary dividends, which would provide further available liquidity but are not forecast to be required to support the going concern conclusion in the base case and severe but plausible downside scenarios.
The Group has also performed a reverse stress test over the impact of a fall in its property valuations and income reductions during the going concern period. This showed that the Group could withstand a fall in valuations from 31 March 2026 of 31.4%, before there was a loan to value covenant breach, whilst a reduction of 29.8% of EBITDA and 40.7% reduction in contracted rent roll would be required before any income related covenants would breach. The likelihood of these reductions materialising is remote.
The Directors have not identified any material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern for the duration of the going concern period.
The Directors also evaluated potential events and conditions beyond the going concern period that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, of which none have been identified.
After due consideration of the going concern assessment for the period to 31 October 2027, the Board believes it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
(d) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial information comprises the financial information of the Group at 31 March 2026. The financial information of the subsidiaries is prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies.
All intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.
Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets not held by the Group and are presented separately in the consolidated income statement and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from the Company's shareholders' equity.
(e) Acquisitions
Where a property is acquired through the acquisition of corporate interests, management considers the substance of the assets and activities of the acquired entity in determining whether the acquisition represents the acquisition of a business.
The Group accounts for an acquisition as a business combination where an integrated set of activities is acquired in addition to the property (see policy in note 2(x)). An acquired set of activities and assets is not a business if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets.
Where such acquisitions are not deemed to be an acquisition of a business, they are not treated as business combinations. Instead, they are treated as asset acquisitions, with the cost to acquire the corporate entity being allocated between the identifiable assets and liabilities of the entity based on their relative fair values on the acquisition date. Accordingly, no goodwill arises.
(f) Foreign currency translation
The consolidated financial information is presented in euros, which is the functional and presentational currency of the Parent Company. For each entity, the Group determines the functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using the functional currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated into the functional currency at the exchange rate ruling at the statement of financial position date. All differences are taken to the statement of profit and loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e. translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI) or profit or loss are also recognised in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into euros at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of profit or loss are translated at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions, or where appropriate, the average exchange rates for the period. The foreign exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognised in OCI. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of OCI relating to that particular foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss.
(g) Revenue recognition
Rental income
Rental income from operating leases and licence agreements containing leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the benefit derived from the leased asset is diminished. Fixed or determinable rental increases, which can take the form of actual amounts or agreed percentages, are recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of material leases. If the increases are related to a price index to cover inflationary cost increases, then the policy is to apply the price index from the date it is effective on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.
Lease incentives (including rent free periods, stepped rents, indexation clauses and other types of incentive) are spread on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Where there is a reasonable expectation that the tenant will exercise break options, the lease incentives are spread up to the break date. The above applies to both revenues generated from investment properties and managed properties.
In addition to the above, the Group has entered into leases and licensing arrangements (which meet the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 Leases (IFRS 16)) where the revenue due from the tenant is an all-inclusive price, representing lease income (recognised in accordance with IFRS 16) and service charge income (recognised in accordance with IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (IFRS 15)). Management has estimated the allocation of the revenues using the relevant service charge costs incurred and the occupancy of the properties where all-inclusive lease and licence arrangements are in place.
Revenue from contracts with customers
The Group's revenue from contracts with customers includes service charge income and other income.
(i) Service charge income
The Group generates revenue from management charges and other expenses recoverable from tenants based on the Group's right to recharge tenants for costs incurred (with or without markup) on a day-to-day basis. These services are specified in the lease agreements and separately invoiced. Service charge income is recognised as revenue when the performance obligations of the services specified in the lease agreements are met, which is typically over time because the tenants simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Group. The Group applies the time elapsed method to measure progress.
The Group acts as a principal in relation to these services, and records revenue on a gross basis, as it controls the specified goods or services before transferring them to tenants.
(ii) Other income
(ii) (a) Other income from managed properties
The Group has contractual agreements with its associate for the management of its properties. This generates fee income which is recognised when the services are provided to the associate at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. The Group identifies itself as a principal in this arrangement as it controls and manages the services provided to its customers. The performance obligation is satisfied over time because the associates simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Group. The Group applies the time elapsed method to measure progress.
(ii) (b) Other income from investment properties
The Group has other property related income including conferencing and catering activities, internet, telephone and virtual office services. This income is recognised when control of the goods or services is transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
(h) Leases
Group as lessor
Leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases with rental income recognised from these leases and licence agreements containing leases held with tenants (see policy in note 2(g)).
Group as lessee
All contracts that give the Group the right to control the use of an identified asset over a certain period of time in return for consideration are considered leases within the meaning of IFRS 16.
The Group, at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is available for use), recognises lease liabilities equal to the present value of the future lease payments, discounted to reflect the term-specific incremental borrowing rate if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. Lease liabilities are subsequently increased by the periodic interest expenses and reduced by the lease payments made during the financial year.
Correspondingly, right of use assets are initially recognised at the amount of the lease liabilities (plus any advance payments that have already been made or any initial direct costs). Subsequently, the right of use assets are generally measured at cost, taking depreciation (calculated straight line over the lease term) and impairments into account, and are presented separately in the statement of financial position except for right of use assets that meet the definition of IAS 40 Investment Property (IAS 40) which are presented as investment property and subsequently measured at fair value.
The Group utilises the recognition exemptions provided by IFRS 16 and does not apply IFRS 16 to leases with a contractual term of twelve months or less or to leases in which the underlying asset is of low value (on a case-by-case basis).
Lease payments associated with short-term leases and with leases of low-value assets are recognised as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Right of use assets relating to office spaces are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.
(i) Income tax
Certain subsidiaries may be subject to foreign taxes in respect of foreign sources of income. Sirius Real Estate Limited is a UK resident for tax purposes. The Group's UK property business is a UK Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). As a result, the Group's UK property business does not pay UK corporation tax on its profits and gains from the qualifying rental business in the UK. Non-qualifying UK profits and gains continue to be subject to corporation tax as normal.
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the reporting date at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is recognised on all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements, with the following exceptions:
• where the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination that, at the time of the transaction, does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;
• in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
• deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, carried forward tax credits or tax losses can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are only offset if there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities, they relate to income of the same taxable entity or tax group and are taxed by the same taxation authority. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and are not discounted.
The Group has applied the exception in IAS 12 to recognising and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.
(j) Sales tax
Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are recognised net of the amount of sales tax except:
• where the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the sales tax is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
• receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of sales tax included.
The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
(k) Investment properties
Investment properties are properties that are either owned by the Group or held under a lease which are held for long-term rental income and/or capital appreciation.
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of all investment properties are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise.
Owned investment properties
Investment properties owned by the Group are initially recognised at cost, including transaction costs when the control of the property is transferred. Where recognition criteria are met, the carrying amount includes subsequent costs to add to or replace part of an investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition, owned investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date as determined by a professional external valuer.
Long-term leasehold
Long-term leasehold liabilities associated with the ownership of property and the resultant right of use assets are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 16 (see policy in note 2(h)). An adjustment is made to the fair value of the investment property for such recognised long-term leasehold.
(l) Disposals of investment property
Investment property disposals are recognised when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which typically occurs on the date of completion. Profit or loss arising on disposal of investment properties is calculated by reference to the most recent carrying value of the asset adjusted for subsequent capital expenditure.
(m) Plant and equipment
Recognition and measurement
Items of plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment loss.
Depreciation
Where parts of an item of plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of plant and equipment.
Depreciation is charged in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of an item of the fixed assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Plant and equipment three to ten years
Fixtures and fittings three to fifteen years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date.
(n) Intangible assets
The Group recognises both internally developed and acquired intangible assets.
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets with a definite useful life are amortised on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives. Their useful lives are between three and five years. Any amortisation of these assets is recognised as such under administrative expenses in the consolidated income statement.
Development expenditures on an individual project are recognised as an intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate:
• the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale;
• its intention to complete and its ability and intention to use or sell the asset;
• how the asset will generate future economic benefits;
• the availability of resources to complete the asset; and
• the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development.
Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset begins when development is complete, and the asset is available for use. It is amortised over the period of expected future benefit. Amortisation is recorded in administrative expenses. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.
(o) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables include rent and service charge receivables that do not contain significant financing components and are measured at the transaction price. Other receivables are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, trade and other receivables are measured at amortised cost and are subject to impairment. The Group applies the simplified impairment model of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments in order to determine expected credit losses in trade and other receivables, including lease incentives.
The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its trade and other receivables. A provision for impairment is made for the lifetime expected credit losses on initial recognition of the receivable. If collection is expected in more than one year, the balance is presented within non-current assets.
(p) Treasury Shares and shares issued to the Employee Benefit Trust
Own equity instruments are deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in the income statement on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group's equity instruments.
(q) Equity-settled share-based payments
The fair value of equity-settled share-based payments to employees is determined at the date of grant and is recognised in employee costs (note 7) on a straight-line basis, together with a corresponding increase in equity (other reserve) over the period that individuals are providing service to the Group in respect of the awards. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the statement of profit or loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised at the beginning and end of that period.
For share awards granted under the LTIP and SIP, the fair values are determined by Monte-Carlo and Black-Scholes models (see note 8).
The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.
(r) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand, demand deposits and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
(s) Assets held for sale
Investment properties held for sale
Investment properties held for sale are separately disclosed at the asset's fair value. In order for an investment property held for sale to be recognised, the following conditions must be met:
• the asset must be available for immediate sale in its present condition and location;
• the asset is being actively marketed;
• the asset's sale is expected to be completed within twelve months of classification as held for sale;
• there must be no expectation that the plan for selling the asset will be withdrawn or changed significantly; and
• the successful sale of the asset must be highly probable.
(t) Bank borrowings
Interest-bearing bank loans and borrowings are initially recorded at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
When debt refinancing exercises are carried out, existing liabilities will be treated as being extinguished when the new liability is substantially different from the existing liability. In making this assessment, the Group will consider the transaction as a whole, taking into account both qualitative and quantitative characteristics in order to make the assessment.
(u) Trade payables
Trade payables are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
(v) Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
(w) Dividends
Interim dividend distributions to shareholders are recognised in the financial statements when paid. Final dividend distributions to the Company's shareholders are recognised as a liability in the consolidated financial information in the period in which the dividends are approved by the shareholders. The final dividend relating to the year ended 31 March 2026 will be approved and recognised in the financial year ending 31 March 2027.
(x) Business combinations
(i) Subsidiary undertakings
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that currently are exercisable, as well as other factors including Board representation. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control passes.
(ii) Associates
Associates are those entities over which the Group has significant influence, but which are not subsidiary undertakings or joint ventures. The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Investments in associates are carried in the balance sheet at cost as adjusted by post-acquisition changes in the Group's share of profit or loss of the associate, less received dividend and any impairment in the value of individual investments.
(y) Non-IFRS measures
Further details on non-IFRS measures can be found in the Annex 1 section of the financial statements.
(i) EPRA measures
The Directors have chosen to disclose the EPRA metrics which are relevant to the Group, which include EPRA earnings, EPRA net asset value metrics and EPRA loan to value, which are widely used metrics that provide additional information to their IFRS equivalents (further details on EPRA best practice recommendations can be found at www.epra.com). Note 11 includes a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings to EPRA earnings. Note 12 includes a reconciliation of net assets to EPRA net asset value metrics. Note 25 includes a calculation of EPRA loan to value ratio.
(ii) Headline earnings disclosure required by the JSE
The Directors are required, as part of the JSE Listings Requirements, to disclose headline earnings, in order to provide an alternative indication of the Group's underlying business performance. Headline earnings are calculated in accordance with the circular titled Headline Earnings issued by SAICA, as amended from time to time. Note 11 includes a reconciliation between IFRS earnings and headline earnings.
(iii) Other disclosures
The Directors have chosen to disclose funds from operations (FFO) in order to provide an alternative indication of the Group's underlying business performance and to facilitate the calculation of its dividend pool; a reconciliation between profit or loss after tax and FFO is included within note 4.
The Directors have chosen to disclose adjusted net asset value in order to assist in comparisons with similar businesses; a reconciliation between net asset value and adjusted net asset value is included within note 12.
The Directors have chosen to disclose net loan to value in order to help assess risk; a calculation of net loan to value is included within note 25.
3. Critical accounting judgements, key and other sources of estimation uncertainty
Critical accounting judgements
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the Directors have made the following judgements that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial information:
Acquisition and disposal of properties
Property transactions can be complex in nature and material to the financial statements. To determine when an acquisition or disposal should be recognised, management considers whether the Group assumes or relinquishes control of the property, and the point at which this is obtained or relinquished. Consideration is given to the terms of the acquisition or disposal contracts and any conditions that must be satisfied before the contract is fulfilled. In the case of an acquisition, management must also consider whether the transaction represents an asset acquisition or business combination.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
Valuation of investment properties (including those presented within assets held for sale)
The fair value of the Group's owned investment properties was determined by Cushman & Wakefield LLP (2025: Cushman & Wakefield LLP), an independent valuer.
The Cushman & Wakefield LLP valuation approach is explained in note 13.
As a result of the level of estimation used in arriving at the market valuations, the amounts which may ultimately be realised in respect of any given property may differ from the valuations shown on the statement of financial position. Refer to note 13 for further information, including sensitivity analysis.
Other sources of estimation uncertainty
The following areas of estimation uncertainty are not presented to comply with the requirements of paragraph 125 of IAS 1 as it is not expected there is a risk of a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. They are presented as additional disclosure of estimates used in the accounts.
Sustainability
In preparing the financial statements, management considered the impact of climate change, taking into account the relevant disclosures in the Strategic report, including those made in accordance with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. The Group also considered the work performed to date in delivering its potential net zero pathway for the German portfolio to 2045 benchmarked against Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM) methodology, the leading global standard for operational decarbonisation of real estate assets, and in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), its updated assessment of exposure to, and mitigation of, climate-related physical risk, as well as aligning with the current Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) regulatory requirements for the UK. These considerations included a limited exposure in relation to the investment properties, based on the current climate-related requirements. On this basis, the Directors concluded that climate change did not have a material impact on the financial reporting judgements and estimates for the period; consistent with this assessment this is not expected to have a significant impact on the Group's going concern of viability assessment.
4. Operating segments
Information on each operating segment, which comprises the aggregate of properties each of Germany and the UK, is provided to the chief operating decision maker, namely the Company Board of Directors and the Executive Committee members.
These aggregations are also considered to be the reportable segments as they have similar economic characteristics. Further disaggregation of the investment properties is disclosed in note 13 owing to the range in values of key inputs and assumptions underpinning the property valuation.
There are no sales between reportable segments. There is no single tenant that makes up more than 10% of a reportable segment's revenue or Group revenue.

All employees are employed directly by one of the following Group subsidiary companies: Sirius Facilities GmbH, Curris Facilities & Utilities Management GmbH, SFG NOVA GmbH, Sirius Renewable Energy GmbH, Sirius Finance (Cyprus) Limited, BizSpace Limited, BizSpace II Limited, M25 Business Centres Limited and Sirius Coöperatief B.A. The average number of people employed by the Group during the year was 470 (2025: 459), expressed in full-time equivalents. In addition, at 31 March 2026, the Board of Directors consists of seven Non-Executive Directors (2025: six) and two Executive Directors (2025: two).
8. Equity-settled share-based payments
LTIP
The LTIP is for the benefit of the Executive Directors and the Senior Management Team. Awards granted under the LTIP are made in the form of nil-cost options which vest after the three year performance period with vested awards being subject to a further restricted period of two years when shares acquired on exercise cannot be sold. Awards are subject to adjusted net asset value per share (TNR) (two-thirds of award) and relative total shareholder return (TSR) (one-third of award) performance conditions. Awards are equity settled. The employees' tax obligation will be determined upon the vesting date of the share issue.
The following assumptions were used in calculating the fair value per share for the TNR and TSR elements of the awards that were granted during the current and prior reporting periods:

(1) Expected volatility of the Company's share price was determined by calculating the historical volatility of the Company's share price over the period immediately prior to the date of grant, commensurate with the term to the end of the performance period.
(2) The dividend yield has been set to nil as there is an intention to pay dividend equivalents on the awards granted.
(3) TNR is classed as a non-market performance condition. As such, the fair value has been calculated using a Black-Scholes model and does not take the expected outcome of the performance condition into account. The Company currently estimates the expected vesting outcome for the TNR award to be 100%.
(4) Relative TSR is classed as a market-based performance condition. As such, projected performance and the likelihood of achieving the condition have been taken into account when calculating the fair value using a Monte-Carlo model. The model also uses assumptions for the expected volatility of comparator companies, the pairwise correlation between comparator companies and TSR performance between the start of the performance period and the date of grant.
SIP
A SIP for the benefit of senior employees was approved in 2021. Awards granted under the SIP are made in the form of a conditional right to receive a specified number of shares for nil cost which vest after the three year performance period with vested awards being subject to a further restricted period of one year when shares cannot be sold. Awards are subject to TNR (two-thirds of award) and relative TSR (one-third of award) performance conditions. Awards are equity settled. The employees' tax obligation will be determined upon the vesting date of the share issue.
The following assumptions were used in calculating the fair value per share for the TNR and TSR elements of the awards that were granted during the current and prior reporting periods:

Deferred Bonus Plan
The Deferred Bonus Plan (DBP) is subject to rules approved by the Board and to the Directors' Remuneration Policy (approved by shareholders triennially) for Executive Directors and two members of the Senior Management Team within the Group.
The participants are subject to annual performance bonus conditions and objectives to be agreed by the Remuneration Committee as disclosed in the Annual Report in the Remuneration report. At the end of the applicable financial year, and on receipt of an annual performance bonus, as determined by the Remuneration Committee, 50% or 65% depending on the participants are awarded as cash with the remainder transferred into shares in the Company. Of the remaining 50% or 35% for certain participants to be transferred in shares, half is deferred for one year and the remaining half is deferred for two years.
EMSP
In May 2025 the new equity-settled Employee Matching Share Plan (EMSP) was launched which allows eligible employees to purchase shares in the market which are held by the Employee Benefit Trust (partnership shares) annually and, after three years' service (or on leaving employment if allowable), receive free matching shares at one for one.

The German corporation tax rate of 15.825% is used in the tax reconciliation for the Group. The German corporation tax rate is the most appropriate rate to use as the majority of profits are allocated to Germany. Taxation for other jurisdictions is calculated at the rates prevailing in each jurisdiction.

(1) Deductible interest on internal financing relates to the tax effect for the Group regarding the intra-group financing, specifically to the interest expense treated as tax deductible in Germany and the interest income treated as taxable in Cyprus.
(2) The dividend income received by the Group is tax exempt.
(3) Non-deductible expenses include inter alia adviser and corporate fees, depreciation and bonus expenses as well as non-deductible interest expenses under the UK Corporate Interest Restriction rules.
(4) The prior year's adjustments were made to reflect potential tax exposures from tax audits for prior financial years. In the current year, the Group benefits from tax reliefs resulting from immediate depreciation of capex and effects from group relief, based on the tax returns filed for prior years.
(5) The income from property rental business and profits from disposal of assets generated by BizSpace Group are exempt from UK tax due to the UK REIT regime. A UK REIT is not subject to taxation on its UK property rental business if it pays Property Income Distributions (PID) of at least 90% of the taxable profits from its UK property rental business within twelve months of the end of each accounting period.
(6) As the UK corporation tax rate at 31 March 2026 was 25% (2025: 25%), this item shows the difference between this rate and the German corporation tax rate of 15.825% used in the above reconciliation.
(7) The changes in German tax legislation (see next page) and the respective remeasurement of the deferred tax liability have led to a decrease in the deferred tax liability by €40.2m at 31 March 2026. The decrease reflects a one-off non-cash adjustment.

(1) Deferred tax liabilities attributable to revaluation of owned investment properties decreased by €24.7m, which is mainly attributable to the reduced German tax rate resulting in deferred tax liabilities decreasing by €40.2m, as indicated in the first table above.
In the prior year, a deferred tax asset of €4.1m on available tax losses was recognised in regard to the UK business. The Group expects to generate future taxable profits which are not tax exempt under the UK REIT regime, allowing the available carried forward losses to be recovered against those profits.
In July 2025, the "Act for an Immediate Tax-Based Investment Programme to Strengthen Germany as Business Location" was enacted, reducing the German corporate income tax rate by one percentage point per year from 15% down to 10% by 2032 (plus 5.5% solidarity surcharge). Deferred taxes relating to the German business are therefore remeasured estimating the realisation of properties over the reduction period 2028 to 2032.
The Group has not recognised a deferred tax asset on €94.3m (2025: €104.8m) of tax losses carried forward and future share scheme deductions as it is not considered probable that future profits will be available to offset the deferred tax asset against. There is no expiration date on the losses and future share scheme tax deductions will convert to tax losses on realisation.
A change in ownership of the Group may result in restriction on the Group's ability to use tax losses in certain tax jurisdictions.
A deferred tax liability is recognised on temporary differences of €nil (2025: €nil) relating to the unremitted earnings of overseas subsidiaries as the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of these temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Included in the loss or gain on revaluation of investment properties are gross gains of €152.7m and gross losses of €42.1m (2025: gross gains of €130.2m and gross losses of €50.8m).
Other than the capital commitments disclosed in note 31, the Group is under no contractual obligation to purchase, construct or develop any investment property. The Group is responsible for routine maintenance of the investment properties.
All investment properties are categorised as Level 3 fair values as they use significant unobservable inputs. There have not been any transfers between levels during the current or prior period.
Whilst the valuations were appropriate at 31 March 2026, changes to macro-economic conditions could affect future valuations.
Owned investment properties
The fair value (market value) of the Group's owned investment properties at year end has been arrived at on the basis of a valuation carried out at that date by Cushman & Wakefield LLP (2025: Cushman & Wakefield LLP), an independent valuer accredited by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). The fee arrangement with Cushman & Wakefield LLP for the valuation of the Group's properties is fixed, subject to an adjustment for acquisitions and disposals.
The value of each of the owned properties has been assessed in accordance with the RICS valuation standards on the basis of market value. The methodology and assumptions used to determine the fair values of these properties are consistent with the prior period.
The approach to valuation for owned investment properties is as follows:
• German portfolio
Discounted cash flow model which uses the net operating income and applies a discount rate for the income period of ten to fourteen years. After ten to fourteen years, a determining residual value (exit scenario) is calculated, discounted to present value.
• UK portfolio
A blended approach of a discounted cash flow on the net operating income for a period, reflecting the all-inclusive leases typically used in these properties, followed by a capitalised income basis (where income is capitalised by an appropriate yield which reflects the age, location, ownership, customer base and agreement type) for the subject property.
Information on significant unobservable inputs per class of owned investment property is disclosed below.

Loans to associates relate to shareholder loans granted to associates by the Group. The loans terminate on 31 December 2031 and are charged at a fixed interest rate of 5.0%. The expected credit loss has been considered based on multiple factors such as history of repayments, current financial position of the borrower, forward-looking budgets and forecasts. Based on the assessment the expected credit loss was immaterial.
19. Investment in associates
The principal activity of the associates is the investment in, and development of, commercial property located in Germany and to provide conventional and flexible workspace. Since the associates are individually immaterial the Group is disclosing aggregated information of the associates.

Cash at bank earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates.
Short-term investments are an investment in Money Market Funds. The Group invests only in highly liquid products with short maturities, which are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Deposits for bank guarantees represents cash balances placed with banks as collateral for guarantees issued to suppliers. While these deposits are subject to certain usage restrictions, they are classified as cash and cash equivalents as they are maintained with banks and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash upon the release or expiry of the related guarantees.
Tenants' deposits are legal securities of tenants retained by the Group without the right to use these cash deposits for purposes other than strictly tenant related transactions (e.g. move-out costs, costs due to non-compliance with certain terms of the lease agreement or late rent/service charge payments). The tenants' deposits meet the definition of cash as the Group can access these deposits on demand.
Cash is held by reputable banks and the Group assessed the expected credit loss to be immaterial.

The facility carries a floating interest rate based on EURIBOR plus a margin linked to the Group's credit rating, at the reporting date being 1.2%.
24. Financial instruments
Risk management
The Group's principal financial liabilities comprise bank loans and trade payables. The Group has various financial assets, i.e. net trade receivables, other receivables (including deposits and excluding lease incentives), loans to associates, and cash and cash equivalents.
The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk arises when a failure by counterparties to discharge their obligations could reduce the amount of future cash inflows from financial assets on hand at the reporting date. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies. The risk management policies employed by the Group to manage these risks are discussed below.
In the event of a default by an occupational tenant, the Group will suffer a rental shortfall and incur additional costs, including expenses incurred to try and recover the defaulted amounts and legal expenses in maintaining, insuring and marketing the property until it is re-let. During the year, the Group monitored the tenants in order to anticipate and minimise the impact of defaults by occupational tenants, as well as to ensure that the Group has a diversified tenant base. The credit risk on tenants is also addressed through the performance of credit checks, collection of deposits and regular communication with the tenants.
Included in loans to associates are loans provided to associate entities from Group entities. During the year the Group assessed credit risk relating to loans to associates by reviewing business plans and monitoring cash collection rates and the operational performance of each associate in order to anticipate and minimise the impact of any impairment.
Included in other receivables are lease incentives. During the year the Group monitored tenants in order to anticipate and minimise the impact of defaults and move-outs from tenants who received lease incentives. The maximum credit risk exposure for other receivables excludes lease incentives.

The gross carrying amounts of trade receivables disclosed in the table above represent the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date, without taking into account any collateral held or other credit enhancements.
The Group holds collateral as credit enhancements in the form of bank guarantees and tenant deposits. Bank guarantees are typically issued by reputable financial institutions and are callable in the event of tenant default. Tenant deposits represent cash deposits received from tenants at the commencement of lease agreements and are held by the Group for the duration of the lease term.
These credit enhancements are considered in measuring expected credit losses, as they mitigate potential credit risk exposure. There were no significant changes in the nature, quality or extent of collateral held during the reporting period, nor were there changes in the Group's collateral policies.
For certain trade receivables, no loss allowance has been recognised because the value of the related bank guarantees or tenant deposits is assessed to fully cover the outstanding exposure.
Rental income from tenant leases is generally due one month in advance. The exception is service charge balancing billing, which is due ten days after it has been invoiced. Included in the Group's trade receivables are debtors with carrying amounts of €18.3m (2025: €20.3m) that are outstanding at the reporting date for which the Group has provided impairment of €6.6m (2025: €8.1m). These receivables are subject to lifetime ECL measurement in accordance with IFRS 9. Although the balances are credit impaired, they continue to be recognised as the Group expects to recover a portion of the outstanding amounts.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity may encounter difficulty in fulfilling its financial obligations, which require the settlement through cash payments or the transfer of another financial asset. This risk arises when the maturities of assets and liabilities are not aligned. While an unmatched position can enhance profitability, it may also increase the likelihood of losses. The Group has procedures with the objective of minimising such losses, such as maintaining sufficient cash and other highly liquid current assets and having available an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. The Group prepares cash flow forecasts and continually monitors its ongoing commitments compared to available cash. Cash and cash equivalents are placed with financial institutions on a short-term basis which allows immediate access. This reflects the Group's desire to maintain a high level of liquidity in order to meet any unexpected liabilities that may arise due to the current financial position. Similarly, trade receivables are due either in advance (e.g. rents and recharges) or within ten days (e.g. service charge reconciliations), further bolstering the Group's management of liquidity risk.

Market risk
The Group is exposed to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates.
(i) Foreign currency risk
The Group's exposure to currency risk relates primarily to the Group's exposure to the GBP and to a lesser extent the South African rand. This exposure is driven primarily by the UK operations. In addition thereto, the Group has dividend obligations in both the GBP and South African rand. The foreign currency risk in relation to the GBP is mitigated as a result of the BizSpace Group generating GBP denominated income in order to fund its obligations when they come due and, in addition, the Group's GBP dividend obligations. The Group holds small deposits in South African rand for the purposes of working capital and dividend obligations. Dividends are distributed semi-annually, minimising foreign currency risk. The majority of the Group's denominated assets relate to cash balances.
At 31 March 2026, if the currency unit had weakened 5% against the GBP with all other variables held constant, pre-tax profit for the year would have been €8.9m (2025: €18.5m) lower. If the currency unit had strengthened 5% against the GBP, with all other variables held constant, pre-tax profit would have been €8.9m (2025: €18.5m) higher.
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Group's exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to the Group's long-term floating rate debt obligations. The Group's policy is to mitigate interest rate risk by ensuring that a minimum of 80% of its total borrowing is at fixed or capped interest rates by taking out fixed rate loans or derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate exposure, or interest rate caps.
A change in interest will only have an impact on floating rate loans due to the fact that the other loans have a general fixed interest rate or they are effectively fixed by a swap. All interest-bearing loans and borrowings of the Group have fixed interest rates and thus there is currently no exposure to interest rate risk.
Fair values
Set out below is a comparison by category of carrying amounts and fair values of the Group's financial instruments that are carried in the financial statements at amortised cost but where the carrying value is not a reasonable approximation to fair value (excluding any financial assets held for sale and financial liabilities directly associated with financial assets held for sale when applicable):

The fair values of the loans to associates and interest-bearing loans and borrowings have been calculated based on a discounted cash flow model using the prevailing market rates of interest at 31 March 2026.
Fair value hierarchy
For financial assets or liabilities measured at amortised cost and whose carrying value is a reasonable approximation to fair value there is no requirement to analyse their value in the fair value hierarchy.
The below analyses financial instruments categorised into a fair value hierarchy based on the valuation technique used to determine fair value:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
25. Capital management
For the purpose of the Group's capital management, capital includes all equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Parent. The Group seeks to enhance shareholder value both by investing in the business so as to improve the return on investment and by managing the capital structure. The Group manages its capital structure and in doing so takes into consideration the impact of changes in economic conditions. The Group assesses its capital management through the total shareholder accounting return, net loan to value (LTV) and EPRA LTV as set out in the tables below:

Pursuant to an equity raise of €88.3m on 17 February 2026, the Company issued 75,490,196 ordinary shares at an issue price of £1.02, resulting in the Company's overall issued share capital being 1,588,665,840 ordinary shares. Costs associated with the equity raise amounted to €2.4m. The net proceeds of the equity raise were €85.9m.
In addition, during the year the Company issued 1,318,254 (2025: 1,482,979) shares in relation to the exercise of the LTIP as per note 8.
Shares held by the Employee Benefit Trust are disclosed as own shares held. During the year 2,235,923 shares were acquired and 683,268 were allocated by the Employee Benefit Trust mainly in relation to the issue of SIP, DBP and EMSP shares as per note 8. A total of 9,296,302 own shares are held by the Employee Benefit Trust (2025: 7,743,647 own shares). The total number of shares with voting rights was 1,588,665,840 (2025: 1,511,857,390). No votes are cast in respect of the shares held in the Employee Benefit Trust in connection with the Company's share plans and dividends paid and payable are subject to a standing waiver.
The LTIP, SIP, DBP and EMSP shares were issued at nil cost, and the fair value of €2.3m for these shares recorded in the share capital account has been transferred back to the other reserve.
All shares issued in the year were issued under general authority. No shares were bought back in the year (2025: none) and there are no Treasury Shares held directly by the Company at the year end (2025: none).
27. Other and foreign currency translation reserves
Other reserve
This reserve comprises of amounts in relation to scrip dividend transfers from share capital, share-based payment transactions, equity raises and share buybacks.
Foreign currency translation reserve
The Group holds a foreign currency translation reserve which relates to foreign currency translation effect during the course of the business with the UK segment.
The following table shows the movement in the foreign currency translation reserve:

(1) Includes €2.6m liability of withholding tax for the interim dividend for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Either non-PID dividends or a mixture of both PID and non-PID dividends were paid over the reporting periods. PID dividends are paid, as required by REIT legislation, after deduction of withholding tax at the basic rate (currently 20%), where appropriate. Certain classes of shareholders may be able to elect to receive dividends gross. Please refer to our website www.sirius-real-estate.com/investors/dividends for details.
The Company offered a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) to shareholders as an alternative to a cash dividend in respect of all dividends paid during the reporting periods. DRIP allows shareholders to reinvest the dividend to purchase additional shares in the Company in the open market, not newly issued shares by the Company.
The Company's Employee Benefit Trust waived its rights to all dividends paid during the reporting period.
The Board has authorised a dividend in respect of the second half of the financial year ended 31 March 2026 of 3.22c per share, an increase of 4.2% on the equivalent dividend last year. The total dividend for the year is 6.40c, an increase of 4.1% on the 6.15c total dividend for the year ended 31 March 2025.
It is expected that, for the dividend authorised relating to the six month period ended 31 March 2026, the ex-dividend date will be 9 July 2026 for shareholders on the UK register, 8 July 2026 for shareholders on the SA register, and the dividend will be paid on 30 July 2026. A detailed dividend announcement will be made on 1 June 2026, including details of a DRIP alternative.

Annex 1 - non-IFRS measures
Basis of preparation
The Directors of Sirius Real Estate Limited have disclosed additional non-IFRS measures; these include EPRA earnings, adjusted net asset value, EPRA net reinstatement value, EPRA net tangible assets, EPRA net disposal value, EPRA loan to value, headline earnings, funds from operations and net loan to value (collectively, "the Non-IFRS Financial Information").
The Directors have disclosed:
• Funds from operations in order to assist in comparisons with similar businesses and to facilitate the Group's dividend policy which is derived from profit or loss after tax. Accordingly, funds from operations exclude non-cash items and any one-off non-operations related cash items to show the net cash flow from operations. The reconciliation for funds from operations is detailed in table A below showing all line item adjustments.
• EPRA earnings in order to assist in comparisons with similar businesses in the real estate sector as a measure of a company's underlying operating results and an indication of the extent to which current dividend payments are supported by earnings. EPRA earnings is a definition of earnings as set out by the European Public Real Estate Association defined as earnings from operational activities. The reconciliation between basic and diluted earnings and EPRA earnings is detailed in table B below showing all line item adjustments.
• Headline earnings in order to provide an alternative indication of the Group's underlying business performance as required by the JSE Listings Requirements. Headline earnings represents earnings after excluding "separately identifiable re-measurements", net of related tax (both current and deferred) and related NCI, other than re-measurements specifically included in headline earnings (included re-measurements), as defined by the circular titled Headline Earnings issued by SAICA. The reconciliation for headline earnings is detailed in table C below showing all line item adjustments.
• Adjusted net asset value in order to assist in comparisons with similar businesses. Adjusted net asset value represents net asset value after adjusting for net deferred tax asset/liability. The reconciliation for adjusted net asset value is detailed in table D below.
• EPRA net reinstatement value (EPRA NRV) in order to assist in comparisons with similar businesses in the real estate sector. EPRA NRV is a definition of net asset value as set out by the European Public Real Estate Association defined as the net asset value adjusted to reflect the value required to rebuild the entity and assuming that entities never sell assets. The reconciliation for EPRA NRV is detailed in table E below showing all line item adjustments.
• EPRA net tangible assets (EPRA NTA) in order to assist in comparisons with similar businesses in the real estate sector. EPRA NTA is a definition of net asset value as set out by the European Public Real Estate Association defined as the net asset value adjusted to reflect that entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of unavoidable deferred tax. The reconciliation for EPRA NTA is detailed in table E below showing all line item adjustments.
• EPRA net disposal value (EPRA NDV) in order to assist in comparisons with similar businesses in the real estate sector. EPRA NDV is a definition of net asset value as set out by the European Public Real Estate Association defined as the net asset value adjusted to reflect the shareholders' value under a disposal scenario, where deferred tax, financial instruments and certain other adjustments are calculated to the full extent of their liability, net of any resulting tax. The reconciliation for EPRA NDV is detailed in table E below showing all line item adjustments.
• EPRA loan to value (EPRA LTV) in order to assist in comparisons with similar businesses in the real estate sector. EPRA LTV is a definition of loan to value ratio as set out by the European Public Real Estate Association defined as debt divided by market value of property including any capital which is not equity as debt irrespective of its IFRS classification; it is calculated on proportional consolidation; and assets are included at fair value and net debt at nominal value. The calculation for EPRA LTV is detailed in table F below showing all line item.
• Net loan to value in order to help assess risk. The calculation of net loan to value is detailed in table G below showing all line items.
The Non-IFRS Financial Information is presented in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements as well as The Guide on Pro forma Financial Information and the Headline Earnings Circular 1/2023, issued by SAICA. The Non-IFRS Financial Information is the responsibility of the Directors. The Non-IFRS Financial Information has been presented for illustrative purposes and, due to its nature, may not fairly present the Group's financial position or result of operations.
Ernst & Young Inc. has issued an independent auditor's assurance report on certain Non-IFRS Financial Information for the year ended 31 March 2026 which is included on pages 172 to 173 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2026. The starting point for all the Non-IFRS Financial Information has been extracted, without adjustment, from the audited Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026 (the consolidated financial statements).
