1. MANAGEMENT REPORT

1.1. GENERAL CONTEXT

Over the last six months, the European macroeconomic environment has been in a transitional phase, marked by a relative resilience in activity but also by the return of inflationary pressures, with inflation reaching around 2.6% in March 2026. This trend is mainly linked to the geopolitical situation in the Middle East, which has led to a rebound in energy prices and uncertainties over supplies.

Against this backdrop, the European Central Bank has adopted a cautious stance, pausing its policy of interest rate cuts since autumn 2025. This strategy of keeping interest rates relatively high is designed to curb soaring prices and reflects a trade-off between supporting growth and controlling the cost of living.

This combination of factors is not likely to encourage investment and lending, particularly in the property market.

Nonetheless, the specific segment of commercial real estate, and in particular out-of-town retail, continues to be very attractive to investors. They are looking to secure returns in a sector that has demonstrated its resilience during the crisis periods of recent years (Covid, geopolitical tensions, energy shocks, etc.).

These assets, offering lower rents and easy access, appear to be performing particularly well. The flexibility of their floor space means they can support retailers as they make strategic changes, particularly in terms of omnicanality.

They also offer competitive yields in a situation of still-high interest rates, which supports their positioning in investment portfolios.

1.2. SUMMARY OF ACTIVITY DURING THE 1[ST] HALF OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR

A. OPERATIONAL ACTIVITY

Letting

Ascencio concluded 11 leasing transactions (7 new leases and 4 renewals), covering a total surface area of around 9,000 m[2] , or 2% of the portfolio’s total surface. On average over the last 12 months, for the concerned surfaces, renegotiated rents exceeded estimated rental values by 9.1% and previous rents by 0.8%.

This leasing activity has materialized in the Belgian and French portfolios, namely with (i) the signing of new leases in Genval (Chaussures Raoul and Training7) and La Louvière (Chaussea and ZEB), and (ii) the securing of existing tenants in Genval, Crèches-sur-Saône and Le Cannet.

The 5 units within Ascencio’s portfolio affected by the Casa and Leen Bakker bankruptcies have been fully relet at higher rents.

Ascencio also experienced a number of tenant departures in Wallonia, mainly from an asset that is currently being analysed for repositioning.

Taking these rental events into account, the EPRA occupancy rate stood at 96.5% at 31/03/2026 (vs 97.2% at 30/09/2025), with the following breakdown by country:

31/03/2026 30/09/2025 Δ
BELGIUM 96.1% 96.6% -0.4%
FRANCE 96.7% 97.6% -0.9%
SPAIN 100.0% 100.0% 0.0%
EPRA occupancy rate 96.5% 97.2% -0.6%

At 31/03/2026, the average residual term of the occupancy contracts in the portfolio was 2.7 years to lease breaks (WALB) and 7.1 years to lease terms (WALT).

Acquisition

In December 2025, Ascencio acquired the Horizon Provence retail park in Monteux, south-east France, for €22.8 million excluding VAT. The asset, with a surface area of more than 12,000 m[2] , benefits from a strong food component (Super U, Maison des Agriculteurs) and is ideally located in a fast-growing area.

This acquisition, which fits perfectly within Ascencio’s investment strategy, began contributing to earnings from the start of 2026.

Press release4

Investments

The Company invested €1.7 million in works on its real estate portfolio, mainly in (i) roof renovations in Belgium (Nivelles, Hannut and Waremme) and Spain (Valencia and Madrid), and (ii) demolition and reconstruction work on a number of units at its Bellefleur retail park in Couillet (Belgium).

Sustainability

In particular, Ascencio has continued its programme to install charging points in its French portfolio. As at 31/03/2026, 209 terminals had been delivered (i.e. almost 80% of the total programme), generating annual rental income of around €0.3 million.

Following a detailed analysis of its IT management, the Company re-evaluated its IT organisation by setting up a hybrid structure, in the cloud and on physical servers, and reviewing its data backup strategy.

Property valuations

Excluding investments and divestments, the value of Ascencio’s consolidated portfolio remained relatively stable (-€2.4 million/-0.31%), in line with the trend seen over the past few financial years. This stability is all the more remarkable given the macroeconomic uncertainties mentioned above.

B. FINANCIAL ACTIVITY

As part of managing its debt structure, Ascencio has concluded the refinancing of 2 bank credit lines, for a total amount of €25 million, with new maturities of six and seven years. Ascencio has also secured an extension of 3 credit lines, for a total of €55 million, enabling it to further strengthen its long-term liquidity position.

In addition, in order to optimise the balance between the volume of available credit and the average cost of debt, the Company decided not to extend a €10 million Medium Term Notes issue as well as a €5 million bond tranche reaching maturity, and therefore repaid them at their respective maturities.

Considering these factors, at 31/03/2026, Ascencio had unused financing lines totalling €111.0 million, of which €57 million remained available after taking into account the 100% back-up of Commercial Papers issues and the setting aside of an estimated pro rata dividend for the current financial year. This cash position enables the Company to easily cover its operating requirements as well as the investments required for its portfolio. This gives the Company significant capacity to participate in the financing of potential acquisitions.

The average residual term of the debt is 3.4 years (vs 3.3 years at 30/09/2025), with a good spread of maturities over the next 7 years, as shown in the graph below:

With regard to its interest rate hedging strategy, Ascencio has continued to build up its portfolio of derivative financial instruments in line with the policy in place. 6 new IRS have been acquired, for a total notional amount of €60 million, over the 2029 to 2033 hedging period.

Press release6

On the basis of a constant forecast debt, these acquisitions will enable to meet the targets set over a 7- year hedging period, as illustrated in the graph below:

==> picture [486 x 285] intentionally omitted <==

Taking into account the refinancing and hedging transactions referred to above, at 31/03/2026 the Company enjoyed an average cost of debt of 2.23% (vs 2.15% at 30/09/2025), an average financial debt of €310.3 million (vs €307.0 million at 30/09/2025) and a hedge ratio of 86.3% (vs 96.6% at 30/09/2025). On the strength of this solid debt structure, the Company intends to maintain a competitive average cost of debt over the coming years.

Rental income came to €27.17 million, stable (+0.3%) compared with the first half of the previous financial year. On a like-for-like basis, the change is +0.8%.

The following table shows rental income by country:

(€000s) 31/03/2026 31/03/2026 31/03/2025

Changes in Belgium and France were mainly due to changes in the perimeter, with several property disposals in Belgium during the previous financial year and the acquisition of the Horizon Provence retail park in France last December. The very positive trend in income in Spain is due to the receipt of variable rents over the period, as a result of a tenant’s good performance.

Taking into account the rent-free periods granted on new leases at the end of the previous financial year, which still affected the past six months, the property result stood at €27.37 million as at 31/03/2026, down slightly (-0.7%) compared with 31/03/2025.

Property charges and corporate overheads, which have been carefully monitored and optimised, fell by 7.0% and 2.6% respectively, enabling an operating result before portfolio result of €22.37 million (vs €22.32 million at 31/03/2025). The operating margin also remained stable at 82.3% (vs 82.4% at 31/03/2025).

As regards the financial result, net interest charges and other financial charges rose by 2.8% to €3.59 million at 31/03/2026, compared with €3.49 million at 31/03/2025. This increase is due to slight rises in average debt and in the average cost of debt over the periods in questions.

The tax charge, in Belgium consisting of the taxation of certain disallowed expenses and in France of the withholding tax on all results generated by French entities, was higher than in the previous year.

EPRA earnings stood at €18.45 million, stable (-0.3%) compared to €18.51 million at 31/03/2025, or €2.80 (vs €2.81) per share.

The change in the fair value of the investment properties remained relatively stable at -€2.5 million (-0.3%), compared with -€0.6 million (-0.1%) at 31/03/2025.

The change in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities (which includes only the value of hedging instruments) rose significantly (+€4.0 million vs +€0.3 million), reflecting the increase in longterm interest rates in recent months.

Lastly, deferred tax liabilities increased in line with the change in the latent tax liability of the French portfolio.

Taking into account these revaluation impacts, and the stability of the EPRA earnings, the consolidated net result stands at €19.54 million, up 4.6% on the €18.68 million at 31/03/2025. On a per-share basis, and bearing in mind that the number of shares issued did not change during the previous financial year, the net result came to €2.96 (vs €2.83).

ASSETS

95% of the Company’s assets are made up of the portfolio of investment properties , with a total fair value of €768.6 million at 31/03/2026 (vs €746.5 million at 30/09/2025). This increase is mainly due to the inclusion in the French portfolio of the Horizon Provence retail park, acquired at the end of December 2025 for €22.8 million.

In accordance with IFRS 16, this heading includes the rights of use held by the Company in the form of emphyteuses, for a total value of €2.7 million.

Intangible assets , including IT tools (for administrative and accounting management as well as property reporting) implemented by the Company, remained relatively stable. Other tangible assets mainly comprise improvements to the Company’s office space, as well as the costs of the new IT infrastructure acquired during the last half-year.

www.ascencio.be

Press release10

Other non-current financial assets mainly consist of the hedging instruments with positive valuations and maturities of more than one year (€16.8 million), while current financial assets include those instruments with positive valuations and maturities within one year (€0.5 million).

The balance of trade receivables was €4.2 million, lower than the balance at the end of the previous financial year. This decrease is mainly due to the timing of invoicing for property taxes and service charges from tenants just before the annual accounting close on 30 September. However, the closing balance at 31/03/2026 includes significant amounts (€2.3 million) relating to the installations of charging stations delivered shortly before the end of the half-year, for which most advance rent payments were received after the 31/03/2026 closing date.

Tax receivables and other current assets increased significantly due to the tax receivable relating to the €4.4 million VAT paid on the acquisition of the Horizon Provence retail park, which is still awaiting recovery from the French tax authorities.

The cash and cash equivalents balance increased as a result of the receipt of substantial amounts of rent in the last few days before the balance sheet date, despite the Company’s careful attention to limiting its cash resources.

Deferred charges and accrued income increased significantly due to the application of IFRIC 21, which requires the full amount of taxes and taxes recovery to be recognised early in the accounts on an annual basis. This increase is offset by an equivalent increase in other current liabilities.

EQUITY AND LIABILITIES

Total equity was €440.4 million, down slightly from the €450.2 million recorded at 30/09/2025. This decrease is linked to the dividend distribution of €29.4 million in February 2026, partly compensated by the €19.5 million result generated in the period. On this basis, the EPRA NTA per share is €65.18 (vs €67.14 at 30/09/2025), while the IFRS net asset value per share is €66.77 (vs €68.25 at 30/09/2025).

On the liabilities side, total financial debts ( current and non-current ) amounted to €336.8 million (compared to €297.3 million at 30/09/2025). The increase in financial liabilities is due to the dividend payment, partly offset by the positive net cash generated in the first six months of the year.

Financial debts consist of different types of financing:

(€000s) 31/03/2026 30/09/2025
Bank borrowings 262,129 225,394
Commercial Papers 38,950 20,250

Lease debts(IFRS 16) 4,472 4,370
Total financial debts 336,777 297,323

www.ascencio.be

Press release11

Current financial debts have increased significantly since the end of the previous financial year. Despite the Company’s very active and proactive refinancing policy, several credit lines are due to expire over the next 12 months. The refinancing of the remaining €20 million due in the 2025/26 financial year is already under credit agreement and will therefore be formally extended at short notice; while approximately €50 million of credit lines and €10 million of bond issuance mature during the first quarter of 2027 and will therefore be subject to partial or total refinancing by the end of the current financial year. Lastly, total outstanding Commercial Papers issues of €39.0 million are also included under current financial debts, even though they are fully covered on a long-term basis by available credit lines.

The non-current financial debts also include the debt recorded under the IFRS 16 standard, representing the net present value of the rentals owed by Ascencio as emphyteutic lessee for the Genval and Hannut buildings in Belgium, and for the recently acquired building at Monteux in France. This debt is subject to periodic revaluation at the time of the annual indexation of the charges.

Other non-current financial liabilities and deferred taxes remained broadly stable. These include:

  • hedging instruments with negative market values and rental guarantees received from tenants;

  • the balance of provisions for deferred tax on latent tax liabilities in the French and Spanish portfolios.

The consolidated EPRA debt ratio ( EPRA LTV ) is 44.1%, up from 40.7% at 30/09/2025, mainly due to the acquisition of the Horizon Provence retail park for €22.8 million and the dividend distribution for the 2024/2025 financial year.

The continuation of this momentum is based on Ascencio’s ability to maintain a high level of operational excellence while adapting rapidly to changes in the environment. With this in mind, the Company intends to remain close to its customers, placing their expectations at the heart of its priorities and anticipating their future needs as far as possible.

At the same time, financial discipline remains a fundamental pillar. Rigorous resource management, cost control and selective investment allocation will help to maintain a solid balance sheet, guaranteeing the Company’s long-term future.

Finally, the Company will pursue its financing strategy with prudence and consistency, ensuring that it maintains an optimum balance between flexibility and security. This approach will enable it to support its development ambitions while limiting its exposure to external risks.

Accordingly, Ascencio will continue to carry out an in-depth, ongoing analysis of its markets in order to identify investment opportunities aligned with its selective strategy. This active monitoring will enable targeting of acquisitions with strong value-creation potential, based on rigorous financial and operational criteria.

On the strength of these strategic directions, Ascencio is confidently positioned to meet the challenges ahead, while creating sustainable value for all its stakeholders.

2.2. EXPERTS' REPORT

==> picture [88 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [161 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [79 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

Brussels, 31 March 2026

Dear Sir, Dear Madam,

In accordance to the article 47 of the law of 12 May 2014 on the Belgian Real Estate Investment Trusts (SIR/GVV), you asked Jones Lang LaSalle, CBRE and Cushman & Wakefield to value the buildings situated in Belgium, France and Spain and belonging to the BE-REIT.

Our mission has been realized in complete independence.

In accordance with established practice, our mission has been realized based on the information communicated by Ascencio regarding rental condition, charges and taxes carried by the lessor, work to be realized, as well as all other elements that might influence the value of the buildings. We suppose this information to be exact and complete. As stated explicitly in our valuation reports, this does not include in any way the valuation of structural and technical quality of the building, nor an analysis of the presence of any harmful material. These elements are known by Ascencio, that manages its portfolio in a professional manner and carries a technical and juridical due diligence before the acquisition of each building.

Every building has been visited by the experts. They work with different software, such as Argus Enterprise or Microsoft Excel.

The investment value can be defined as the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

The experts have adopted two different methods: the « Term and Reversion » method and the « Hardcore » method. Besides, they also did a control in terms of price per m².

www.ascencio.be

Press release14

According to the « Term and Reversion » method, the capitalization of the revenues considers the actual revenue until the end of the current contract, and then takes the estimated rental value in perpetuity. According to the « Hardcore » method, the estimated rental value is capitalized in perpetuity before looking at adjustments that consider surfaces that are rented below or above their rental value, void, etc.

The yield, used for both methods, represents the expected yield for investors for this kind of properties. It reflects the intrinsic risks of the property and the sector (future void, credit risk, maintenance obligations, etc.). To determine this yield, experts based themselves on the most comparable transactions and current transactions in their investment department.

When there are unusual or specific factors, corrections are made (e.g. major renovations, nonrecoverable costs, etc.). Regarding the sustainability of buildings, the existence of a green premium for the most sustainable buildings is an ongoing subject of observation, investigation, and debate in the market. Appropriate market data is still needed to fully demonstrate whether additional value can be attributed to these buildings. This evolution is closely monitored by experts.

In our valuation, we have considered all aspects of the property's sustainability. These elements and considerations have been taken into account in our evaluation, but it is not explicitly adjusted for.

Based on the remarks in previous paragraphs, we confirm that the rounded investment value of the real estate portfolio of Ascencio on 31 March 2026 amounts to :

€799,717,000 (Seven hundred ninety-nine million seven hundred seventeen thousand euros)

The sale of a property is theoretically subject to transfer taxes. The amount depends, among other factors, on the method of transfer, the type of buyer, and the geographical location of the property. This amount is only known once the sale has been completed. In Belgium, as independent real estate experts, we can acknowledge that, based on a representative sample of properties on the Belgian market, the average transaction cost amounted to 2.5% for the sale of buildings valued at more than EUR 2,500,000.

Thus, for buildings with a value exceeding EUR 2,500,000, we will apply acquisition costs of 2.5% between the investment value and the fair value as defined by the international accounting standard IAS 40. This percentage may, if necessary, be periodically adjusted in increments of 0.5%, insofar as such a variation is observed in the institutional market.

For properties valued at less than EUR 2,500,000, the applicable charges between the fair value and the investment value are the regional registration duties. However, certain assets within Ascencio’s portfolio may be considered as belonging to coherent investment clusters whose combined value exceeds the EUR 2,500,000 threshold. The qualification of a group of assets as a cluster is determined according to the likelihood that an investor would acquire them together rather than separately. Grouping criteria may be geographical (assets located next to each other) and sectoral (typically sites hosting supermarkets, which form an asset class conducive to package deals). Based on discussions with Ascencio, we apply transaction costs of 2.5% to these assets.

In France, the transfer tax is generally 1.8% when the property is less than 5 years old and between 6.9% and 7.5%, depending on the department, in all other cases. These rates, increased by transaction fees, have indeed been taken into account to establish the fair value of French buildings.

In Spain, the transfer tax generally ranges between 0.5% and 3.5% depending on the location. These rates, increased by transaction fees, have been taken into account to establish the fair value of Spanish buildings.

Press release15

Based on those elements we confirm that a rounded Fair Value of Ascencio's real estate assets as of 31 March 2026 amounts to:

€765,856,000

(Seven hundred sixty-five million eight hundred fifty-six thousand euros)

We stay at your entire disposition if any questions about the report would remain. In the meantime, we offer you our kind salutations,

4.5. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 General information and accounting methods

General information

Ascencio SA (hereinafter “Ascencio SA” or the “Company”), whose registered office is at Avenue Jean Mermoz 1 Box 4, 6041 Gosselies (Belgium), is a public Belgian real estate investment trust (“B-REIT”). Its financial year runs from 1 October to 30 September. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as at 31/03/2026 cover the period from 01/10/2025 to 31/03/2026. They were approved by the Board of Directors on 18/05/2026.

All amounts are expressed in thousands of euros unless otherwise stated.

Basis of preparation and accounting methods

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the “International Financial Reporting Standards” (“IFRS”) and the interpretations of the “International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee” (“IFRIC”) approved by the European Union, published and effective at 31/03/2026. More specifically, they have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as adopted by the European Union.

The consolidated financial statements have also been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Royal Decree of 13/07/2014 as amended by the Royal Decree of 28/04/2018 on regulated real estate companies.

The bases of preparation and accounting methods are identical to those set out in the 2025 Annual Report (pages 183 to 189).

- Valuation of investment properties and methods applied by the experts (Jones Lang LaSalle

CBRE - Cushman & Wakefield)

Ascencio has entrusted the task of valuing its portfolio of real estate assets to Jones Lang LaSalle, CBRE and Cushman & Wakefield; all 3 experts were responsible for valuing parts of the Belgian and French portfolios, and the third was also tasked with valuing the Spanish portfolio. The mandates with these experts were concluded after 01/10/2024 for a period of three years and will therefore expire at the end of the portfolio valuation on 30/09/2027.

The valuation method applied by the property experts remains the same and is explained in detail on pages 114 to 116 of the 2025 Annual Report.

At 31/03/2026, the valuation of the buildings is not subject to “significant valuation uncertainty” as it was the case at the time of the COVID-19 health crisis. However, the experts would like to warn that, given the volatility now prevailing on the markets due to current geopolitical and economic tensions, it is important to adopt a cautious approach to lending and investing and to carefully consider the date on which the valuations were carried out.

Investment properties comprise:

  • properties available for rent, including rights of use on land held by the Company and recognised under IFRS 16 (see point 1 hereunder);

  • development projects (see point 2 hereunder). Development projects include assets for which major renovation or complete redevelopment projects are planned, whether these projects have actually started (work in progress) or are still in the preparatory phase. Projects under development are not taken into account when calculating the Company’s property indicators, particularly in terms of the EPRA occupancy rate or the gross yield on the property portfolio.

TOTAL 336,777 297,323

The average cost of debt and the structure of financial debts are described above in sections 1.2. and 1.4. of this half-yearly financial report.

As indicated above, Ascencio has continued its refinancing programme, with the conclusion of two bank refinancing transactions for a total of €25 million (6 and 7 year maturities), and the extension of 3 existing credit lines, for an amount of €55 million, thus strengthening its long-term liquidity position.

The breakdown of financial debts at 31/03/2026 was as follows: 79% bank borrowing, 9% bond debt (including medium-term notes) and 12% Commercial Papers debt. At that date, the Company had €111.0 million in undrawn credit lines, of which €39.0 million was reserved for the back-up of current commercial paper issues (vs €147.8 million, of which €20.3 million was for the back-up at 30/09/2025).

www.ascencio.be

Press release26

NOTE 4 Financial instruments

83.8% of the Company’s debt was at floating rates (vs 76.4% at 30/09/2025). In order to limit the interest rate risk associated with this type of financing, the Company has put in place an interest rate hedging policy.

At the date of this half-yearly financial report, hedging consisted of 38 IRS contracts (37 payer contracts and 1 receiver contract) for a total notional amount of €553 million, of which €233 million were effective at 31/03/2026 and €320 million will be effective at a later date (compared with 34 contracts for a total of €523 million, of which €228 million were effective at 30/09/2025). The Company also has two CAP contracts for a notional amount of €20 million, effective as at 31/03/2026 (similar to the situation on 30/09/2025).

Ascencio does not apply hedge accounting to the derivative financial instruments that it holds. Therefore, these instruments are considered as speculative instruments under IFRS, and changes in their market value are directly and fully recognised in profit and loss. These financial instruments are all “level 2” derivatives within the meaning of IFRS 13.

The market value of derivative financial instruments is advised at each balance sheet date by the financial institutions from which these instruments have been acquired.

At 31/03/2026, taking into account these hedging instruments and the total fixed rate debt of €53.7 million, the Company’s hedge ratio is 86.3% (vs 96.6% at 30/09/2025).

NOTE 5 Dividend

4.6. REPORT OF THE AUDITORS

Statutory auditor's report to the Board of Directors of Ascencio on the review of the condensed consolidated interim financial information as at March 31, 2026 and for the 6-month period then ended

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Ascencio as at March 31, 2026, the condensed consolidated profit and loss account and statement of other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of movements in equity and the condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the 6-month period then ended, and notes to the interim financial information (“the condensed consolidated interim financial information”). The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed consolidated interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information as at March 31, 2026 and for the 6-month period then ended is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as adopted by the European Union.
