Gross revenue for 1H2023 decreased by 5.5% year-on-year to €28.4 million, mainly due to the decrease in rental income and carpark income from the vacancy in Darmstadt Campus, and one-offrent-free period in Bonn Campus, Münster Campus and Sant Cugat Green, partially offset by the increase in CPI indexation. Net property income was impacted by higher property operating expenses, while income to be distributed to Unitholders was lower due to higher finance costs and tax expenses. As a result, net property income and income to be distributed to Unitholders for 1H2023 decreased by 10.1% and 24.3% year-on-year to €22.0 million and €12.4 million, respectively. The full vacancy at Darmstadt Campus and rent- free period, both of which were temporary in nature, had caused an impact of €3.4 million and €1.4 million, respectively, to the income to be distributed to Unitholders. Distribution per unit ("DPU") was in turn down by 23.8% year-on-year to 0.93 € cents. (5) Based on the closing unit price of S$0.44 as at 30 June 2022, 1H2023 DPU translates to an annualised distribution yield of 6.2%. (6)

With high inflation rates, tighter lending conditions and uncertain macroeconomic conditions continuing to impact the European real estate market and capitalisation rates, IREIT's properties saw a broad-based decline in their independent valuations, resulting in a 2.9% decline in the portfolio valuation to €922.7 million as at 30 June 2023 from €950.5 million as at 31 December 2022. On a positive note, the valuations of Sant Cugat Green and Darmstadt Campus increased over the period, supported by the 12-year new lease signed with a data

centre operator in June 2022 and 15-year new lease signed with German federal government body in April 2023, respectively. Due to the latter lease committed at Darmstadt Campus, IREIT's overall occupancy rate improved to 88.7% as at 30 June 2023 from 87.0% in the prior quarter, but was still down from 95.0% a year ago as Darmstadt Campus became vacant since December 2022.

Mr Louis d'Estienne d'Orves, Chief Executive Officer of the Manager, said, "The European real estate market is still expected to remain challenging due to the weak economic environment. The departure of the large single tenant at Darmstadt Campus at end-November 2022 has highlighted the importance of active asset management and diversification in IREIT's portfolio. Despite the weak economic backdrop, we have successfully secured a six-month lease extension in July 2023 with the main tenant, Deutsche Rentenversicherung Bund ("DRV"), at Berlin Campus, bringing its lease expiry to 31 December 2024. In addition, DRV will pay a revised rent that is approximately 45% higher than its current office rent from 1 July 2024 onwards."

In July 2023, the Manager also signed one new lease at Sant Cugat Green and one replacement lease at Parc Cugat. Another new lease is expected to be signed in Delta Nova IV in due course. This would bring the Spanish Portfolio's occupancy rate to 79.7% from 78.7% achieved as at 30 June 2023.

On the investment front, IREIT had announced in June 2023 the proposed acquisition of a portfolio of 17 retail properties located across France that is fully let to B&M Group, a leading discount retailer in Europe ("B&M Portfolio Acquisition"). In July 2023, IREIT launched an equity fund raising via preferential offering to raise gross proceeds of approximately S$75.9 million, which will be mainly used to fund the B&M Portfolio Acquisition. The preferential offering was 134.7% subscribed, showcasing the support and confidence from all Unitholders, including Joint Sponsors Tikehau Capital and City Developments Limited. With Unitholders' approval on the B&M Portfolio Acquisition on 27 July 2023, the transaction is currently expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2023.

"Post the B&M Portfolio Acquisition, IREIT will continue to maintain a healthy aggregate leverage of 34.2% compared to 33.1% as at 30 June 2023. This is well below the aggregate leverage regulatory limit of 50%, providing it with ample debt headroom for future growth opportunities. The enlarged portfolio will also see a diversification into the resilient Retail Parks (Out-of-Town) asset class, thereby enhancing IREIT's portfolio lease profile and income resiliency. Together with the leasing progress made and the end of temporary rent-free
