Marc Oursin, Shurgard Chief Executive Officer

"The main event in Q1 2026 is our same store revenue growth of +1.2% vs. last year, showing a stabilization after the 2025 deceleration, quarters on quarters, from +6.0% to +1.5% (from Q1 2025 to Q4 2025 vs the same period the year before).

This performance is based on three different groups of countries' growth profiles: (i) the Nordics (Sweden and Denmark), The Netherlands and Germany being moderately to very positive, (ii) France being stable and (iii) the UK and Belgium being negative vs. 2025. Globally our same stores revenue growth is fueled by rental rates growth (+1.3%), with a stable occupancy level of 88.1%. Meanwhile, our non same stores are ramping up as foreseen.

For convenience, we have added a like-for-like revenue growth metric (page 6) to facilitate market benchmarking.

Despite the expected additional real estate taxes, our effective cost management mitigated the impact, to deliver an Underlying EBITDA growth of -2.1%. Our earnings per share declined by 6.2% mainly due to the additional number of shares related to the scrip dividend payment in 2025, that has been stopped as of 2026.

Our pipeline will deliver c. 100,000 sqm in 2026 (c. 6% of our rentable sqm on December 31st 2025) and our balance sheet is strong with a cash position of €87 million, a fully unencumbered portfolio of c. €7 bn and our BBB+ rating from S&P.

The macro environment is now very different than the early start of the year 2026. Based on Shurgard's current performance (Q1 and start of Q2 2026), its commercial positioning and financial strengths, we expect for the time being the company to remain within the outlook range provided for the fiscal year.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our teams for their continued support and engagement to satisfy our customers and shareholders.

      • Real estate operating revenue (IFRS) grew by 2.7% in the first quarter of 2026, reaching €114.6 million:

        • Property operating revenue growth at CER: +3.1%

        • Increase in rentable sqm (+6.2%) through the addition of 15 stores, as well as re-mixes and redevelopments, delivering an additional average rented sqm by +2.6%; and

        • Increase of revenue per sqm through average in-place rent +0.4%.

      • Operating profit amounted to €54.7 million mainly as a result of:

        • An Underlying EBITDA of €56.2 million (-2.1%), showing the impact of foreseen increases in our operating expenses (such as real estate taxes recognised in the first quarter of the year, €16.0 million vs €14.6 million prior year); and

        • Depreciation and amortization expenses of €1.5 million.

      • Profit for the year ended the quarter with €32.6 million, or 0.32€ of basic earnings per share:

        • Excluding the EPRA foreseen adjustments, notably the impact of deferred taxes, this translates into Adj. EPRA earnings of €34.2 million (-3.8% vs. prior year); and

        • Adj. EPRA earnings per share amounts 0.34€ (-6.2%), reflecting the residual dilutive impact of the previously issued scrip dividend and slight increase in interest expense compared to prior year.

      • Our same store property operating revenue growth (representing 88% of all store revenue) grew by 1.2% for the first quarter of the year, driven by a growth of our in-place rent (in all markets except for the UK).

      • Same store average rented sqm remained stable compared to the first quarter of 2026, with 88.1% average same store occupancy, slightly below prior year, reflecting in part the increase in rentable sqm.

      • Same store average in-place rent grew by 1.3%, while same store NOI margin decreased by -1.1pp in line with anticipated cost increases, mainly in real estate taxes, and the realised revenue growth for the quarter.

    3. - Update on the 2024 UK portfolio acquisition

      In Q1 2026, we rented an additional c. 1,800 sqm on the ex-Lok'nStore portfolio, vs. an average of 3,500 sqm per quarter since acquisition. Meanwhile, we continue to optimize pricing, with a yearly move-in rate increase of +2.1% vs. Q1 2025.

      During the first quarter 2026, we added c. 5,100 rentable sqm across the portfolio with redevelopments, in addition to the Aldershot acquisition from November 2024 (c. 5,200 sqm), bringing the total rentable footage to 133,200 sqm from 122,900 sqm at acquisition date (growth of c. 8%). Based on this increased total rentable sqm, we now target to reach 80-85% occupancy by the end of the year, from 78.1% at the end Q1 2026 (based on total rentable sqm of 133,200 sqm).

      Combining the rented footage growth with pricing optimization, this acquired portfolio of 28 stores delivered a solid real estate operating revenue growth of 5.4% in Q1 2026 vs. the same quarter prior year.

    4. - Portfolio expansion
      • c. 18,100 sqm of projects completed and delivered in 2026:

        • 2 developments: +13,250 sqm (€31.3 million total project costs) with Roedelheim in Germany and Eastbourne - Lottbridge Drove in the UK;

        • 2 redevelopments: +4,850 sqm (€9.2 million total project costs) with Montigny-le-Bretonneux and Epinay in the Paris region in France;

      • €86.7 million cash and cash equivalents, with an available revolving credit facility (RCF) of €230 million.

      • During the first quarter of 2026, we repaid our 2014 and 2015 USPP outstanding notes, for a total amount of €270 million. Taking advantage of the market conditions at that time, it allowed us to streamline our covenants across our financing instruments and to realize a net gain of €0.9 million.

      • Fully unencumbered portfolio of assets and aligned covenants.
      • The only European self-storage company with a strong investment grade rating (BBB+, stable outlook) from S&P.

      • In early May 2026, we entered into a new committed term loan facility with a consortium of five banks, for €570 million (maturity 3 years with extension options of max. 2 years). This will allow us to reset the RCF and ensure flexible financing of our 2026 funding needs. At the same time, we will increase our RCF to €570 million, with unchanged conditions.
