We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements of the Act on Statutory auditors that are relevant to audits of financial statements in Poland and "the Handbook of the International code of ethics for professional accountants (including International independence standards) (the "Code of ethics") as adopted by resolution of the National Council of Statutory Auditors as applicable to audits of financial statements of public interest entities. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with ethical requirements of the Act on Statutory Auditors and the Code of ethics. During the audit, the key statutory auditor and the audit firm remained independent of the Group in accordance with the independence requirements set out in the Act on Statutory Auditors.
Our audit approach
Overview

The overall materiality threshold adopted for our audit was set at EUR 27.8 million, which represents approximately 0.9% of the total assets of the Group.
We have audited the separate financial statements of the Parent Company and performed audit procedures for selected material balances and groups of transactions in the subsidiaries in 9 countries. In respect to subsidiaries in countries other than Poland, audit procedures have been conducted by audit firms from PwC network in accordance with instructions issued by us under our supervision and by us.
- Valuation of investment property
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements. In particular, we considered where the Parent Company's Management Board made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits we also addressed the risk of management override of
Independent Statutory Auditor's Report
internal controls, including among other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall materiality for the consolidated financial statements as a whole, as set out in the table below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, if any, both individually and in aggregate on the consolidated financial statements as a whole.
| Overall Group materiality | EUR 27.8 million |
|---|---|
| How we determined it | Approximately 0.9% of the total assets of the Group |
| Rationale for the materiality benchmark applied | We have adopted the Groups’ total assets as the benchmark for determining materiality because, in our view, this benchmark is commonly used by the users of the consolidated financial statements of the Group to evaluate the operations of the Group and is a generally accepted benchmark for groups in the real estate industry. |
| We adopted the materiality threshold at 0.9% because based on our professional judgement it is within the acceptable quantitative materiality thresholds. |
How we tailored our Group audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates.
Independent Statutory Auditor's Report
We have audited the separate financial statements of the Parent Company. We performed audit procedures for selected material balances and groups of transactions in subsidiaries in 9 countries. We received audit reports from other auditors from PwC network from Hungary, Luxembourg and Germany who audited the financial information or performed audit procedures for the selected material balances and groups of transactions from the financial information of the subsidiaries from those countries. Subsidiaries from 7 countries were subject to our audit procedures. The scope of our audit covered almost 100% of the Group's revenue and 96% in of total assets before consolidation eliminations.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation of investment property
The investment property balance in the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at 31 December 2025 is EUR 2,574.6 million. In Note 17 of the consolidated financial statements the Group presented the disclosures related to investment properties, including the key assumptions adopted to measure the investment properties at their fair value.
The Group has a portfolio of investment properties comprising land, completed properties in the office, retail and residential sectors, as well as investment properties under construction.
The fair value measurement of investment properties is affected by the inherent risk of uncertainty of the estimations made for the purpose of their measurement, and is sensitive to the underlying assumptions.
Our audit procedures comprised in particular:
a) gaining an understanding and assessing the process of measuring and controlling the measurement of investment properties and assessing the qualifications, scope and conditions of the work and the objectivity of the independent appraisers;
b) assessing compliance of the adopted accounting policies in respect of investment properties with the appropriate financial reporting standards;
c) reconciling – on a selected sample – the value of investment properties presented in the consolidated financial statements with the valuation reports prepared by independent appraisers;
d) for a selected sample – verification of the mathematical accuracy and methodological consistency (with support of internal PwC valuation experts) of property valuations made by an independent appraisers;
Independent Statutory Auditor's Report
The value of the investment properties depends on the adopted measurement method and assumptions, such as the discount rate and capitalization rate, expected rental income and various multipliers which are based on the subjective assessment of unquantifiable factors such as the location of the property.
In 2025 the Group incurred a loss from revaluation of investment property of EUR 147.1 million, which was recognized in the consolidated income statement.
Taking into consideration the materiality of the investment properties in the Group consolidated financial statements and significant estimation uncertainty related to their valuation, we considered the valuation of investment property to be a key audit matter.
- the adopted approach, valuation methodology and techniques which depend on the type of the property assessed;
- in case of properties which generate revenue, detailed tests were conducted in respect of:
- the assumptions relating to revenue: the amount of unit rental fee, the assumed level of vacancies, the assumed rent free period, revenue from sources other than lease;
- cost-related assumptions: the amount of the property maintenance costs, the adopted model for settling costs with lessees; the agency commission;
- the assumptions relating to capitalization/ discount rates;
- input data on which the valuations were based, i.a. consistency with the terms of the lease agreements;
f) assessing the appropriateness and completeness of disclosures in respect of the fair value measurement of the investment property in the consolidated financial statements.
Other matter
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in English and expressed in EUR as the presentation currency, and are prepared in addition to the statutory consolidated financial statements (prepared in Polish and expressed in EUR as the presentation currency) for the same period. We issued a separate auditor's report on the statutory consolidated financial statements, and that report constitutes a statutory audit report as required by the relevant regulations applicable to public interest entities in Poland and includes all elements required by these regulations.
Responsibilities of the Management and Supervisory Board of the Parent Company for the consolidated financial statements
The Management Board of the Parent Company is responsible for the preparation, of the annual consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view of the Group's financial position and
Independent Statutory Auditor's Report
results on operation, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, the adopted accounting policies, the applicable laws and the Parent Company's Articles of Association, and for such internal control as the Parent Company's Management Board determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Parent Company's Management Board is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Parent Company's Management Board either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Members of the Supervisory Board are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process.
Auditor's responsibility for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the NSA will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
The scope of the audit does not include an assurance on the Group's future profitability nor the efficiency and effectiveness of conducting its affairs by the Parent Company's Management Board, now or in future.
As part of an audit in accordance with NSA, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
- obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control;
Independent Statutory Auditor's Report
- evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Parent Company's Management Board;
- conclude on the appropriateness of the Parent Company's Management Board's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern;
- evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;
- plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Group as a basis for forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for the purpose of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Audit Committee of the Parent Company regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Audit Committee of the Parent Company with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated to the Audit Committee of the Parent Company, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
