SINGAPORE | 25 FEBRUARY 2022

For immediate release

IREIT Global ("IREIT"), a Europe-focused real estate investment trust managed by IREIT Global Group Pte. Ltd. (the "Manager"), is pleased to report a resilient set of results for the second half year and financial year ended 31 December 2021 ("2H2021" and "FY2021" respectively).

Net property income for 2H2021 rose by 34.4% year-on-year to €23.2 million, while income available for distribution rose by 32.9% to €19.2 million over the same period. The increase was mainly due to the consolidation of the operating results of the initial Spanish portfolio, as well as acquisition of the French portfolio and Parc Cugat. This in turn contributed to a 7.9% increase in the distribution per unit ("DPU") to 1.50 € cents for 2H2021. (1)

For FY2021, net property income came in 29.1% higher year-on-year at €42.5 million and income available for distribution was 25.3% higher at €34.4 million. DPU for the full year stood at 2.93 € cents, representing a 11.0% increase compared to the previous year. (1)

  1. On 30 June 2021 and 21 July 2021, IREIT issued 11,372,868 new Units at the issue price of S$0.6155 per Unit (the "Placement Units) and 201,137,870 new Units at the issue price of S$0.595 per Unit (the "Preferential Offer Units") respectively. On 23 October 2020, IREIT issued 291,405,597 new Units (the "Rights Units") pursuant to a renounceable rights issue. For the purpose of comparison, FY2020 DPU has been restated to reflect the effects of the Rights Units.

Media Release

During the year, IREIT's portfolio performance continued to show improvement, supported by its blue-chip tenant mix, diversified asset base and recovery in the European real estate market. As at 31 December 2021, its portfolio value improved to €974.9 million from €719.6 million a year ago, driven by the acquisition of the French portfolio and Parc Cugat, as well as the higher independent valuation of the investment properties. As a result, IREIT's aggregate leverage improved to 32.1% from 34.8% over the same period, while net asset value rose by 14.9% year-on-year to €0.54 per Unit. Based on the closing unit price of S$0.65 as at 31 December 2021, IREIT is trading at an attractive 21.6% discount to its NAV. (2)

Mr Louis d'Estienne d'Orves, Chief Executive Officer of the Manager, said, "IREIT's portfolio has remained robust throughout FY2021, allowing us to achieve our main objective of delivering a stable and predictable income to our Unitholders. One key success factor that has enabled us to deliver the positive performance is our strong leasing efforts with extensive knowledge of the local real estate markets and occupiers."

As at 31 December 2021, IREIT's portfolio occupancy rate was stable at 95.7% compared to 95.8% registered in the prior year, while the weighted average lease expiry improved to 3.8 years from 3.5 years a year ago. In addition, all tenants in IREIT's portfolio continued to pay their rents in FY2021 and no rental rebates or deferrals were requested.

In 2022, the Manager will continue to focus its efforts on asset management to maintain IREIT's portfolio occupancy rate and optimise the long-term attractiveness of the assets through its sustainability initiatives. During the year, the Manager performed environmental audits on selected properties within IREIT's portfolio to pursue green building certifications. In November 2021, the Manager successfully secured a new lease with a German federal government body to take up all five floors of office space to be vacated by the existing key tenant, GMG Generalmietgesellschaft mbH, at Münster Campus when its lease expires in March 2022. This five-year lease secured with the new tenant at competitive rental rates is a reflection of IREIT's good quality assets in well-connected locations and will strengthen IREIT's lease profile and income certainty.

In view of the adoption of flexible working arrangement by companies and evolving demand for office space, the Manager will also continue to pursue investment and capital recycling opportunities to further diversify IREIT's asset class exposure and strengthen its income streams. At the same time, the Manager is exploring various funding options to broaden IREIT's financing sources and flexibility.
