OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS – 10M 2025
Lease activities
Over the first 10 months the new and renewed rental income amounted to € 89.0 million bringing the +total committed annualised rental income to € 461.3 million1 (or 7.1 million sqm of lettable area), a 11.8% increase since December 2024 and a historic year-to-date record.
The increase was driven by 721,000 m² of new lease agreements signed, corresponding to € 50.0 million of new annualised rental income2 , whilst during the same period amendments were contracted for an additional 79,000 sqm on existing lease agreements increasing committed annualised rental income by € 1.3 million. This represents our second-best year to date in terms of newly signed leases, only surpassed by the exceptional € 58.5 million achieved over the first 10 months of 2021, when demand was boosted by the pandemic-driven logistics boom. Indexation accounted for € 6.4 million (of which € 5.1 million related to the joint ventures). Terminations represented a total of € 6.6 million or 125,000 sqm, of which € 5.7 million within the joint ventures' portfolio. Finally, as a result of the disposal of VGP Park Riga to the tenant the rental income has decreased by € 2 million.
Western Europe is the main driver for the incremental new lease agreements with 64% of new leases (€ 32.1 million of committed leases) coming from this region. The growth is mainly driven by Germany, France and the Czech Republic. Within segments, logistics accounted for 64%, a total of € 32.1 million, which is made up of 10% of new demand from healthcare logistics and 12% from food and non-food retail logistics.
Some of the larger lease agreements signed include (i) ID Market with a 69,000 square meter facility in Rouen, France, (ii) VAFO Praha with a 55,000 square meter facility in Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic, (iii) Aldi SE for a 44,000 square meter facility in Frankenthal, Germany and (iv) finally a 42,000 square meter building for Gaer in Reggio Emilia. Both Gaer and Aldi Sud lease agreements remain conditional on receiving the necessary permits for acquisition of the respective land plots.
1 Including JV's at 100%
Of which 629,000 sqm (€ 44.2 million) relates to the own portfolio
While the e-commerce sector has shown signs of moderation in the last years, the Group has secured new lease agreements with e-commerce tenants during the year and remains in active dialogue with several prospects, indicating renewed momentum in this segment.
The standing portfolio has increased to 6,348,000 square meters and is virtually fully let at 98%. The weighted average term1 of the annualised leases of the combined own and Joint Ventures' portfolio stood at 7.9 years, 9.6 years in the own portfolio and 6.9 years in the Joint Ventures portfolio. Of the annualised committed leases 83% (or $\in$ 385 million) has already become cash generative as of 31 October 2025.
A remaining € 77 million signed lease agreements will become effective in the future. The breakdown as to when the annualised committed leases will become effective is as follows:
| In € mln | Annualised rental income effective before 31/10/2025 | Annualised rental income to start within 1 year | Annualised rental income to start between 1-5 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Joint Ventures | 281.3 | 10.0 | - |
| Own | 103.2 | 29.2 | 37.7 |
| Total | 384.5 | 39.2 | 37.7 |

Until the contract end date. The weighted average term until the first break is 7.5 for the portfolio as a whole, 9.0 year for the own portfolio and 6.7 years for the Joint Venture portfolio.
Construction activity
29 projects have started up in the course of 2025 which represent 747,000 sqm of future lettable area, or € 56.8 million of annualised lease income once fully built and let.
This results in a total of 47 projects under construction at the end of October 2025 which will add 1,123,000 sqm of future lettable area representing € 90.9 million of annualised leases once fully built and let. These assets under construction are currently 67% pre-let, yet for the projects over 6 months in construction time the pre-let increases to 79%.

Land bank
Year-to-date VGP acquired 1,368,000 sqm of land and a further 2,835,000 sqm is currently committed, subject to permits. This brings the current owned and committed landbank to 10.0 million sqm which entails a development potential of over 4.3 million sqm. An additional 1.3 million square meters of development land is in advanced stage of negotiations.
The most important land plots that VGP has been able to acquire in the third quarter have been in the United Kingdom, Portugal, Germany, Czech Republic, Latvia, Denmark and Austria:
- VGP Park Sheffield, United Kingdom: This 48,000 sqm land plot, is a brownfield (means to redevelop) plot located on an existing industrial area northeast of Sheffield. The site is strategically located next to the M1 motorway and has a buildable area of approximately 25,000 sqm. The demolishment of the existing structure is expected to start in 2025.
- VGP Park Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal: This 216,000 sqm land plot is strategically located in Gaia, just 18 km from Porto, 25 km from the airport, and 21 km from the harbor. VGP Park Vila Nova de Gaia offers exceptional connectivity. It provides immediate access to the A29 motorway and close proximity to the A1 motorway.
- VGP Park Loures II, Portugal: This park will facilitate a 50,000 m² development divided into two high-quality buildings designed for logistics, last-mile distribution, or industrial activities. Situated within a catchment area of 3 million people, the park offers superb connectivity – just
1 These include assets under construction on behalf of the Joint Ventures totaling 190,000 square meters. These assets are legally owned by the Joint Venture, but have not been part of a transaction yet with the Joint Venture partner. VGP finances these developments through development loans to the Joint Venture, which are also classified as assets held for sale.
1 minute from the A9 motorway, 10 minutes from Lisbon city centre, and 15 km from Lisbon Airport.
- VGP Park Hagen, Germany, this 282,000 m² brownfield site has been secured by VGP for acquisition from the former Kabel Premium Pulp & Paper GmbH, with the legal transfer of ownership scheduled for the last quarter of the year. Marking the Group's first land acquisition in the North Rhine-Westphalia region, the site is located just 20 minutes from Dortmund city centre, offering excellent connectivity to the wider Ruhr area. VGP plans to redevelop the site gradually into a modern business and industrial park with an estimated gross lettable area of approximately 127,000 m².
- VGP Park Malé Přítočno, Czech Republic: this 80,000 sqm land plot located just 20 km from the airport in Prague and has excellent access by the D6 highway. The Group expects to be able to construct a 32,000 sqm high-end logistics building on the plot.
- VGP Park Dreilini, Latvia: a site with a total land size of 107,000 sqm, allowing for 35,000 sqm of development. Dreilini park lies 15 km from the city centre of Riga.
- VGP Park Køge, Denmark: with this land plot of 122,000 sqm the Group, together with the Municipality of Køge, has the ambition to attract modern manufacturing and technology companies with the construction of commercial buildings for modern production companies within technology, pharmaceutical production, robotics and sustainable food production for example. The site will provide at least 40,000 m² of lettable area. The land plot is well located on the E20 highway.
- VGP Park Traiskirchen, Austria: Covering 41,000 sqm, this site is conveniently located with direct access to the A2 motorway, leading to the greater Vienna region. The park is adjacent to VGP's park in Laxenburg.
From an asset value perspective, the land bank is predominantly Western European-based but on the bases of square meters the land bank is well spread across the countries in which we operate.
In total 98% of the land bank is owned or committed by VGP for its own portfolio, whereas 2% is in co-ownership with various Joint Venture partners. It concerns Grekon (34,000 sqm) in Germany and Belartza (145,215 sqm) in Spain.

Data centre development
The Group is pleased to announce the start of Sarah Wilkinson as VGP's head of Data Centres Europe. Sarah has extensive experience in Data Centre development following a career at CBRE, Colliers and recently Microsoft as regional lead of land acquisitions EMEA.
Capital and liquidity position
In two Latvian assets the tenant has used their pre-agreed right to purchase the leased assets in over the last months. VGP Park Riga was sold to Jysk resulting in a € 34 million cash return. For VGP Park Tiraines the due diligence process has successfully ended, and the asset is targeted to transfer to its tenant in 2026.
Fitch has reaffirmed VGP's investment-grade rating of BBB- with a stable outlook, "VGP N.V.'s ratings reflect its disciplined, risk-measured development activities, focusing on pre-let light-industrial and logistics investment properties. These properties are built for and sold into pre-funded, committed joint ventures (JVs) with institutional investors and VGP each owning a 50% equity stake. Cash receipts from these sales into the JVs substantially remunerate VGP's own cost-to-build, freeing-up capital for further developments destined for similar JVs."
This reconfirmation followed the investment grade BBB-, stable outlook S&P rating that was obtained earlier in August.
Over the year '25 VGP expects cash distributions from its joint ventures van circa € 80 million, either through shareholder repayments, equity distributions or interest payments.
Update on Joint Ventures
VGP and Areim have agreed in principle to expand the geographic scope of their Joint Venture, Saga. In addition to the existing markets — Germany, France, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary — the Joint Venture will now be able to acquire VGP assets in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Austria and Denmark also.
A third closing, currently under due diligence, is expected to materialize in December 2025 and will encompass over € 500 million in gross asset value, targeting assets within both the existing and expanded geographic scope. With multiple assets available across these newly added countries and with another material transaction targeted in 2026, the Joint Venture is positioned to reach its investment target well ahead of its ambitions.
In parallel, VGP continues to explore further expansion of its Joint Venture model. This should allow VGP, along with the Saga Joint Venture transactions, to transact up to 1 billion of gross asset value in the next twelve months.
Outlook
VGP has continued to benefit from sustained tenant demand across its portfolio, leading also to an accelerated development activity during the year. As a result, the Group also already has 281,000 sqm of substantially pre-let projects scheduled to start construction predominantly over the next twelve months. In addition, the Group's land bank offers significant opportunities, with a large portion already committed or in advanced stages of negotiation. These projects are expected to further expand the base for future rental income and profitability.
Along with the recent geographic expansion of the SAGA joint venture, the Group expects to transfer up to €1 billion of gross asset value to its joint ventures over the next twelve months as such providing for further enhancement of VGP's liquidity position. In parallel, VGP continuous to work on the further evolution of its joint venture model to support long-term growth.
