Rüdiger Dany Eliza Predoiu Chief Executive Officer Chief Financial Officer
"The first half (H1) of 2025 saw a consolidation of the growth generated by NEPI Rockcastle's strategy of consistently investing in premium properties with strong fundamentals. The transactions completed in 2024 and the continuous improvement in the existing portfolio through active asset management led to a 12.1% growth in net operating income (NOI), against a challenging macroeconomic background. The strong operating performance of our properties lifted the value of NEPI Rockcastle's investment property portfolio to more than €8 billion for the first time in its history. The high demand for our quality retail assets translated also into a low vacancy rate of 1.6%. We continue to add value through developments, not least in the renewable energy sector, which has the potential to become an important growth segment for the Group once the current ongoing major investments therein are completed.
In H1 2025, we delivered a 3.1% growth in distributable earnings per share relative to H1 2024. Our loan-to-value (LTV) ratio is very conservative by industry standards at 32.1%, which allows NEPI Rockcastle to pay 90% of its earnings as dividends, a higher distribution rate than most of our peers. I am proud to see that NEPI Rockcastle today combines an established portfolio with a rock-solid balance sheet and a sustainable growth story, all driven by our highly knowledgeable people, which should set the stage for future success and strong results for our shareholders for many years to come."
Rüdiger Dany, Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
▪ NEPI Rockcastle was included in the FTSE EPRA NAREIT Global Emerging Index in June 2025, a leading global benchmark for listed real estate investments. The index inclusion validates the Company's performance, operational transparency and governance. This inclusion will enhance the Group's visibility among global investors, making its shares eligible for index tracking investors and contributing to improved market liquidity.
Footfall increased slightly (+0.4%) in the second quarter (Q2), on a LFL basis, after a small decrease in the first quarter (Q1) of 2025 (-0.7% vs Q1 2024). Overall, the number of visitors has been remarkably stable over the last two years, despite ongoing economic uncertainties in the region.
Growth in the average basket size accelerated (+9.7% in H1 2025 vs H1 2024). This represents the average across the entire portfolio and was positively influenced by the acquisitions of Magnolia Park and Silesia City Center, completed in 2024. Even without these acquisitions, the trend of growing spend per visit continues, showing the resilience of consumers in CEE.
LFL tenant sales in H1 2025 outpaced inflation and were 3.9% higher than H1 2024. This growth accelerated in Q2 (+4.1%) compared to Q1 (+3.7%). Tenant sales improved in all retail categories, except Sporting Goods (-2.3%) and Electronics (-2.1%) , mostly due to changes in composition of tenant mix in these categories. Entertainment (+11.7%) and Health & Beauty (+10.2%) posted double-digit growth. Sales in the largest segment, Fashion, were 0.7% higher.
The occupancy cost ratio (OCR) was 13.1% (excluding hypermarkets), slightly higher than in H1 2024 (12.9%), but still at a comfortable level for our tenants.
The Group signed new leases and lease extensions for a total of 167,000m2 gross lettable area (GLA) in H1 2025. New leases accounted for 26% of this total, of which 18% were signed with international retailers and 8% with national and local tenants, while 74% of the signings were renewals of existing leases. Underpinned by continued strong demand for space in the Group's shopping centres, the average rental uplift was 5.3% above indexation in H1 2025.
During H1 2025 the Group welcomed tenants to several new units including Sports Direct (Promenada Craiova), Tous (Paradise Center), Mohito (Serdika Center), Chanel (Forum Gdansk Shopping Center), Oysho (Arena Mall), House (Forum Liberec Shopping Centre).
NEPI Rockcastle invested approximately €66 million in developments, photovoltaic plants and capital expenditure (capex) in H1 2025.
Works at development projects under construction are on schedule and within budget. The extension of Promenada Bucharest is expected to open in Q1 2027. Lease terms have been agreed for 68% of the GLA. The redevelopment of Bonarka City Center is due for completion in Q2 2026, with lease terms agreed for 95% of the GLA. Refurbishment works on Arena Mall in Budapest started in April 2024 and will be completed in Q2 2028. Lease terms have been agreed for 96% of the refurbished GLA. The extension of Pogoria Shopping Centre (Dąbrowa Górnicza, Poland) started in January 2025 and is 34% complete. The additional 4,800m2 GLA will open in Q1 2026. Lease terms have been agreed for 97% of the new space.
Permitting for Promenada Plovdiv, a 60,500m2 GLA greenfield development in Bulgaria's second largest city, is ongoing, with the last permits expected to be obtained by Q1 2026. Opening is estimated during Q3 2027. There is strong interest from retailers and lease terms for 40% of the GLA have already been agreed. The building permit for the retail component of Galati Retail Park, a mixed-use scheme, is expected to be obtained in Q3 2025. The project, which includes 41,000m2 of retail GLA and 21,500m2 of residential space, is scheduled to open in Q4 2026. Lease terms have been agreed for 64% of the retail scheme.
Permitting was completed for the second phase of the Company's green energy project, which involves installing photovoltaic panels in 23 locations outside Romania, with a total planned power capacity of 15 MW. There are 16 power facilities under construction (in Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary and Croatia), while seven others are in the procurement process (in Slovakia and Czech Republic).
There was significant progress with the third phase of the green energy project, which involves developing two large greenfield photovoltaic plants in Romania. The first plant will have an installed power capacity of 54 MW and is expected to become operational by the end of 2025. The second plant, with a planned power capacity of 105 MW, shall be substantially developed during 2026. These projects will significantly expand the Group's green energy generating capacity, increase the coverage of the electricity consumption needs of its tenants and make a positive contribution to NOI.
The total cost of projects under construction or permitting is approximately €795 million, of which €276 million has already been invested as at 30 June 2025. The planned capital expenditures for 2025 are around €230-240 million, less than anticipated at the start of the year, as permitting processes for Promenada Plovdiv and Galati Retail Park have taken longer than initially anticipated.
NEPI Rockcastle fair values its portfolio twice a year. Fair value is determined by external, independent professional valuers, with appropriate and recognised qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of the property being assessed.

| Colliers International | Romania and Bulgaria | 44% | |

The Company maintained very strong liquidity as a result of prudent management of its balance sheet, with €386 million in cash and €690 million in undrawn committed credit facilities on 30 June 2025. NEPI Rockcastle's LTV (interest bearing debt less cash, divided by investment property plus cost incurred for photovoltaic plants) was 32.1%, comfortably below the 35% strategic threshold.
Ratios for unsecured loans and bonds showed ample headroom compared to covenants at the end of June 2025, are as follows:
The average interest rate of the Group's debt, including hedging, was approximately 3.2% during first half of 2025 (H1 2024: 2.9% on a gross basis, with 2.6% on a net basis, taking into account the interest income resulting from the disbursed IFC loan and management of the excess liquidity). Unsecured debt represented 88% of total debt as at 30 June 2025. The un-hedged balance exposed to variable interest rate corresponds to the IFC loan and represents 15% of the total outstanding debt.
The Group has a long-term corporate credit rating of BBB+ (stable outlook) from Fitch Ratings and BBB (positive outlook) from Standard & Poor's Rating Services.
In the first half of 2025, NEPI Rockcastle extended the contractual maturity related to its unsecured committed revolving credit facilities, as follows:
Consequently, the revolving credit facilities' capacity amounts to €690 million as at 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: €670 million) and is fully undrawn.
On 5 June 2025, the Group announced that Mr. Rüdiger Dany will conclude his mandate as the CEO of NEPI Rockcastle as of 31 March 2026, after five very successful years with the Company. The Board has engaged a leading international executive search firm to assist with identifying the most suitable successor. The Group will update the market and the shareholders once this process has concluded and a new CEO designate has been appointed.
The composition of the Nomination Committee has been amended to include Mr. Steven Brown as a member, effective 7 July 2025. The Board is confident that Mr. Brown's expertise and perspective will complement the existing strengths of the Nomination Committee and contribute positively to its ongoing work.
The Board has declared a dividend of 27.95 euro cents per share for H1 2025, corresponding to a 90% dividend pay-out ratio, to be settled in cash, as a capital repayment (default option). Shareholders can also elect for the settlement of the same dividend amount as a cash dividend out of distributable profits. In line with Dutch legislation, the capital repayment will be paid to shareholders unless they elect to receive the cash dividend.
A circular containing full details of the election being offered to shareholders, accompanied by announcements on the Stock Exchange News Service (SENS) of the JSE, A2X and Euronext Amsterdam will be issued in due course.
The Board has revised the guidance released in February 2025, based on the good operational results, and now expects DEPS for the year to be 2.5-3% higher than the DEPS of 60.17 cents per share in 2024.
This guidance does not consider any impact of potential geopolitical instability, or major macroeconomic disruptions, and assumes current trading trends continue. This guidance can be modified or withdrawn in the future if material changes unfold. This guidance has not been reviewed or reported on by NEPI Rockcastle's auditors and is the responsibility of the Board of Directors.
To the shareholders of NEPI Rockcastle N.V.

NEPI Rockcastle N.V. ("the Company", "NEPI Rockcastle", "the Group") is a public limited company domiciled in the Netherlands, having its registered office at Strawinskylaan 563, WTC Zuidas, Tower Ten, 5th Floor, 1077 XX Amsterdam, with registration number at the Dutch Chamber of Commerce 87488329. The Company's shares are listed on the Main Board of the JSE Limited ("JSE"), Euronext Amsterdam and A2X.
NEPI Rockcastle is the premier owner and operator of shopping centres in Central and Eastern Europe ("CEE"). The Group benefits from a highly-skilled internal management team which combines asset management, development, investment, leasing and financial expertise.
The Group's Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 June 2025 were approved by the Board of Directors on 18 August 2025 and authorized for publication on 19 August 2025. The financial statements are accompanied by the external auditors' review report.
These Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 June 2025 are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Listings Requirements for interim reports.
The JSE Listings Requirements require that the interim reports are prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of IFRS Ⓡ Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee, Financial Pronouncements as issued by Financial Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain the information required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
Selected explanatory notes are included to detail events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024. They do not include all the notes requested for the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements, and accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements as at 31 December 2024.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those applied for the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2024 except for the new mandatory standards and interpretations effective as of 1 January 2025:
▪ IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability (Amendments).
The newly adopted amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards did not have a significant impact on the Group's financial statements as at 30 June 2025.
The following standards have been issued but are not yet effective and have not been endorsed by the European Union as at 30 June 2025, and were not early adopted by the Group:
Management is currently assessing the impact that the amendments above will have on the financial statements.
The following standards have been issued but are not yet effective but have been endorsed by the European Union as at 30 June 2025, and were not early adopted by the Group:
Management is currently assessing the impact that the amendments above will have on the financial statements.
The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in thousands of Euros ("€'000"), rounded off to the nearest thousand, unless stated otherwise.
The Group is subject to the scope of the OECD Pillar Two model rules ("Pillar Two") from 1 January 2025. Pillar Two applies to multinational groups with global revenues of €750 million or more in two out of four preceding years, imposing a minimum 15% tax on adjusted accounting profit on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. If the Group's effective tax rate in certain jurisdictions falls below 15% under the general local profit tax rules, then the Group will be required to pay an additional tax (so-called top-up tax) to reach the 15% tax rate threshold. The Group has made an assessment for each of the individual jurisdictions in which it
operates to determine whether and to what extent a top-up tax could result in each of those jurisdictions, based on the financial results for the first half year 2025. As a result of the assessment, there is an immaterial impact on the Group's tax position.
The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared on a going concern basis. Having considered the potential impact of the military conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East and the overall macroeconomic environment on the Company's and the wider NEPI Rockcastle Group revenues, profits, cash flows, operations, liquidity position and debt facilities, management concluded that there are no material uncertainties relating to the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group's receivables from tenants and cash and cash equivalents.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is set out below:
| Credit exposure on financial instruments | Note | 30 June 2025 | 31 December 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| in € thousand | ||||
| Tenant receivables | 100,031 | 106,650 | ||
| Cash and cash equivalents | 7 | 385,909 | 448,498 | |
| Derivative financial assets at fair value through profit or loss1 | 5,410 | 9,662 | ||
| Loans to participants in the Share Purchase Scheme2 | 873 | 890 | ||
| Total | 492,223 | 565,700 |
1 Includes both long-term and short-term financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
2 Presented in line Other long-term assets in the Statement of financial position.
Out of the above maximum credit exposure, the balance of Loans to participants in the Share Purchase Scheme is not considered to present credit risk as these are guaranteed with the Company's shares held as security.
When monitoring customer credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics, including whether they are an individual or legal entity, the industry they work in, business size and previous financial difficulties.
The exposure to credit risk is mainly influenced by the tenant's individual characteristics. The Group's widespread customer base reduces credit risk. The majority of rental income (68% as at 30 June 2025 and as at 31 December 2024) is derived from type A tenants (large international and national tenants; large listed tenants; government and major franchisees and companies with assets and/or turnovers exceeding €200 million), and there is no concentration of credit risk with respect to trade debtors. Top 10 tenants account for 25.5% of the rental income as at 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: 25.3%).
Management has established a credit policy where new customers are analysed individually for creditworthiness before standard payment terms and conditions are offered. When available, the analysis includes external ratings.
The Group establishes an allowance for impairment based on a simplified expected credit loss model in respect of Trade and other receivables. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
The carrying value of financial assets approximates their fair value. The Group's exposure to credit risk associated cash and cash equivalents is limited through using financial institutions of good standing for investment and cash handling purposes.

An overview of the tenant receivables net of impairment provision is set out below:
| in € thousand | 30 June 2025 | 31 December 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Tenant receivables – gross | 100,031 | 106,650 |
| Less: Impairment provisions | (9,660) | (10,796) |
| TENANT RECEIVABLES - NET OF IMPAIRMENT PROVISION | 90,371 | 95,854 |
| Reconciliation of impairment provisions is set out below: | ||
| Movement of provisions for doubtful debtors | 30 June 2025 | 31 December 2024 |

| Additional expected credit losses | (1,186) | (3,138) |
| Write-off of receivables | 1,085 | 2,062 |
| Recovery of previously expected credit losses | 1,176 | 3,702 |
| Released in relation to assets held for sale disposed during the year | - | 116 |
The expected loss rates are based on the historical payment profiles of tenants and the corresponding historical credit losses, adjusting for forward looking macroeconomic data. For example, if forecast economic conditions are expected to deteriorate over the next year which can lead to an increased number of defaults in a customer segment, the historical default rates are adjusted upwards. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forwardlooking estimates are analysed. On that basis, the provision for doubtful debtors as at 30 June 2025 was determined as follows for trade receivables:
Foreign exchange gain/(loss) 61 (230) Carrying value (9,660) (10,796)

While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9, the expected credit losses are immaterial.
For purposes of liquidity management, the Group has various deposit accounts and negotiated current account agreements with several banks. The arrangements in place result in an optimized mix between flexibility and reduced interest charges or best interest offered. The banks' credit ratings, as well as exposure per each bank are constantly monitored. At 30 June 2025, 96% of the Group's cash was held with investment-grade rated banks (31 December 2024: 79%), as detailed below:
| Cash and cash equivalents | 30 June 2025 | 31 December 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Held with banks as rated by Moody's | ||
| Aa2 | 4% | 0% |
| Aa3 | 4% | 6% |

| Ba3 | 3% | 0% |
| Held with banks without a formal credit rating | 4% | 21%1 |
| Total | 100% | 100% |
1 The cash held with banks without a formal credit rating at 31 December 2024 is mostly the cash held in the Serbian bank account following the sale of Promenada Novi Sad. This was transferred to a rated bank account in the Netherlands in February 2025. Adjusted for this amount held in Serbian bank, 99% of Group cash balances were held with formal credit rated banks as at 31 December 2024 .
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations when due. The Group's approach to managing this risk ensures, as far as possible, it will always have enough liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to its reputation. To ensure this occurs, the Group prepares budgets, cash flow analyses and forecasts, which enable the Directors to assess the level of financing required for future periods. Budgets and projections are used to assess any future potential investments and are compared to existing funds held on deposit to evaluate the nature, and extent of any future funding requirements.
Further reference to bank loan maturity analysis is made in Note 10.

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates or equity prices will affect the Group's fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising returns. The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities approximates their fair value, except for the carrying value of bonds.
Group's current assets and liabilities are exposed to foreign currency risk on purchases and receivables denominated in Romanian leu (RON), Polish zloty (PLN), Bulgarian Lev (BGN), Hungarian forint (HUF), Czech crown (CZK) and South African rand (ZAR). Cash inflows received in other currencies than Euro are converted to Euro using the spot rate available on the collection date. The amount converted to Euro is the net amount of cash inflow in a foreign currency and the estimated cash outflow in the same currency. The Group applies this policy to control its currency exposures in respect of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than EUR. Sensitivities of profit or loss to reasonably possible changes in exchange rates applied at the financial position date relative to the local currency of the respective Group entities, with all other variables such as interest rates held constant, are immaterial.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on loans, borrowings and cash balances held. Group policy is to substantially hedge this risk through the use of derivative financial instruments. As at 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024, the Group held interest rate instruments in the form of interest rate swaps and interest rate caps.
| in € thousand | 30 June 2025 | 31 December 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Bank loans | 954,810 | 962,945 |
| – Rate capped | 483,177 | 523,549 |

| – Variable rate1 | 443,294 | 411,308 |
| Accrued interest on loans and deferred loan costs | (10,761) | (11,312) |
1 As of 30 June 2025, the balance exposed to variable interest rate corresponds to the IFC loan and represents 15% (14% as of 31 December 2024) of the total outstanding debt.
Cash and loans and borrowings balances are subject to change over the year. A change of 50 basis points (bps) in interest rates would have increased/(decreased) equity and profit for the year as shown below. Calculations are based on the cash and loans and borrowings balances outstanding at the respective balance sheet dates as of 30 June 2025. This analysis assumes that all other variables, particularly foreign currency rates, remain constant. All sensitivity analysis calculations presented below are before tax.
The benchmark rate for the bank loans with an outstanding amount of €954,810 thousand as at 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: €962,945 thousand) is Euribor 3 months; if this rate is less than zero, Euribor shall be deemed to be zero.
Loans and borrowings with fixed or swapped interest rates are not affected by market changes in interest rates.

As at 30 June 2025, the balance of investment property included also right-of-use assets of €88,959 thousand (31 December 2024: €85,949 thousand) representing long-term land concessions for the Group Polish properties contracted from local government.
Investment property is carried at fair value and is independently assessed on a semi-annual basis, as at 30 June and 31 December.
For the six month period ended 30 June 2025 and for the year ended 31 December 2024 the Group commissioned independent appraisal reports on its investment property from Colliers International, Cushman&Wakefield and Affiliate Partners and Jones Lang LaSalle all of whom are members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). Valuations are prepared in accordance with the RICS Valuation - Global Standards 2025 (the "Red Book", issued 2024 and effective 31 January 2025) and ANEVAR Valuation Standards - 2025 Edition which incorporate the International Valuation Standards 2025 Edition ("IVS").
All investment property in use is valued by the Income Method. For the six month period ended 30 June 2025 and year ended 31 December 2024 respectively, the applied method used for all investment property in use was discounted cash flow ("DCF").
DCF uses explicit assumptions regarding the benefits and liabilities of ownership over the asset's life, including an exit, or terminal value. As an accepted method within the Income Method to valuation, the DCF method involves the projection of a series of cash flows onto a real property interest. To these projected cash flow series, an appropriate, market-derived discount rate is applied to establish the present value of cash inflows associated with the real property.
The duration of cash flow, and the specific timing of inflows and outflows, are determined by events such as rent reviews, lease renewal and related lease-up periods, re-letting, redevelopment or refurbishment. The appropriate duration is typically driven by market behaviour. In the case of investment property, periodic cash flow is typically estimated as gross income less vacancy, non-recoverable expenses, collection losses, lease incentives, maintenance costs, agent and commission fees, and other operating and management expenses. The series of periodic net cash inflows, combined with the estimated terminal value anticipated at the end of the projection period, is then discounted. For all investment property in use, the current use equates to the highest and best use.
The Group provides all information necessary for the valuations, including detailed tenancy schedules, comprising information on occupied and vacant units, unit areas and numbers, lease commencement and expiry dates, break options and indexation clauses. All properties have been inspected by representatives of external valuers once a year.
The Group's valuers note in their valuation reports that wherever appropriate, sustainability and environmental (ESG) matters are an integral part of the valuation approach. They have performed an analysis of the ESG criteria and determined the level of alignment of the subject assets to the required standards and noted that this represents only a qualitative assessment which gives an indication on the level of alignment of the subject assets to the ESG legal and market practice. However, due to the lack of market proofs regarding the impact in the market value of ESG criteria and lack of data regarding the total costs required by the improvement of the assessed real estate assets from ESG scoring point of view, the valuers noted that there is not direct correlation between the estimation of the market value of the subject assets and the qualitative analysis of the ESG criteria.
As at 30 June 2025, the investment property in use had an EPRA Vacancy Rate of 1.8% (31 December 2024: 1.7%). EPRA Vacancy Rate is a non-IFRS measure which is defined in section Other information, Glossary.
As compared to the valuations on 31 December 2024, the estimated rental values generally increased, supported by the good performance of the assets, with no significant changes in valuation yields.
As at 30 June 2025, the Group's portfolio included retail, office and one industrial property.
The Group currently discloses fair values according to a 'fair value hierarchy' (as per IFRS 13) which categorises the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels. The hierarchy gives the highest priority (Level 1) to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority (Level 3) to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is explained below:
The Group's investment property is categorised as Level 3. For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. There were no transfers between hierarchy levels during the year.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy of the Group's property portfolio, together with the impact of significant movements in these inputs on the fair value measurement, are detailed below:
| Estimated rental value | Increase |
|---|---|
| Discount rate | Decrease |
| Capitalisation rate for terminal value | Decrease |

Land included in Investment property under development is carried at fair value and is independently assessed on a semiannual basis. For the six months ended 30 June 2025 and for the year ended 31 December 2024 the Group commissioned independent reports to Colliers International, Cushman&Wakefield and Affiliate Partners and Jones Lang LaSalle, based on which the fair value of land was adjusted. Land included in Investment property under development is classified Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy as defined in IFRS 13.
The valuation technique is sales comparison or residual approach, in accordance with RICS Valuation Standards and ANEVAR Valuation Standards (for Romanian properties). Land under sales comparison method was valued by the external appraisers using the recent transactions of similar land for development in the proximity of the subject property.
The estimated fair value of Investment property under development would increase/(decrease) if the market comparable price per square meter is higher/(lower) as there is a direct relationship between the fair value and the market comparable price per square meter.
The residual approach determines the residual land value by subtracting purchase and development cost from the expected gross development value of the project at completion. The construction works in the investment property under development are held at cost, and their carrying value is a reasonable approximation of their fair value. The methods have been consistently applied for the comparative period.
Borrowing costs capitalised for the six months ended 30 June 2025 amount to €2,751 thousand (30 June 2024: €1,955 thousand) and were calculated using an average annual interest rate of 3.2% (30 June 2024: 2.6%).
The balance of Investment property under development split by land carried at fair value and additions from construction works held at cost (which approximate fair value) is detailed below:
| Investment property under development | 30 June 2025 | 31 December 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| in € thousand | ||
| Land (at fair value) | 109,231 | 108,314 |

The photovoltaic panels that were built on the rooftops of Romanian and Lithuanian retail properties during 2022, 2023 and 2024, were recognised in Investment property as at 31 December 2023 and measured at fair value as part of those individual properties. In August 2024, the Board approved the roll-out of the energy project to the remaining countries in the portfolio and investment in greenfield ready-to-build photovoltaic fields in Romania. The investments will expand the Group's green energy generating capacity and increase the coverage of electricity consumption needs of its tenants across the portfolio, as well as grow the revenues from green energy activity.
Consequently, these were reclassified from Investment property to Property, plant and equipment effective from 1 September 2024. The initial cost of recognition of the panels as plant and equipment is the fair value of the assets at the date of the transfer. The Group adopted the cost model for subsequent measurement of photovoltaic panels, whereby assets are valued at their cost price, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
In 2024 Nepi Rockcastle started to produce solar energy from 38MW of power-generation capacity installed on 27 of properties from Romania and one in Lithuania.
Other equipment presented in the table below include office furniture, improvements and equipment.

After the distribution, the Company amended its Articles of Association by decreasing the nominal value of the shares with 0.35 euro cents. The net impact of such adjustment, as reflected by the capital repayment paid to shareholders amounted to €153,517 thousand.
In April 2025, the Company repurchased 1,640,511 own shares (representing 0.23% of outstanding ordinary shares in issue) on the market for a total consideration of €10,076 thousand. The cost of repurchased shares was recognised in the treasury shares reserve.

Ordinary shares carry the right to vote at general meetings, to distribution and to the surplus assets of the Group on winding-up.
The Group is currently assigned a long-term corporate credit rating of BBB (positive outlook) from Standard & Poor's Rating Services and BBB+ (stable outlook) from Fitch Ratings.
In the first half of 2025, NEPI Rockcastle extended the contractual maturities related to its unsecured committed revolving credit facilities, as follows:
the revolving credit facility from ING Bank was extended to a maturity of three years, with two additional one-year extension options, currently expiring in July 2028; the maximum principal available under this facility maintained at €100 million; and
the revolving credit facility from a three-bank syndicate (BRD-Groupe Société Générale, Garanti Bank and Unicredit Bank) was also extended to a maturity of three years, with two additional one-year extension options, currently expiring in July 2028; the maximum principal available under this facility was increased from €170 million to €190 million.
Consequently, as at 30 June 2025, the revolving credit facilities' capacity amounts to €690 million (31 December 2024: €670 million) and is fully undrawn.
In October 2024, the Group issued its third €500 million green unsecured Eurobond, having a 7-year tenor and maturing in January 2032. The bond carries a 4.25% fixed coupon, with an issue price of 99.124%. An amount equal to the net proceeds will be allocated to finance and/or refinance eligible green projects included in the Group portfolio.
The average interest rate of the Group's debt, including hedging was approximately 3.2% during the first half of 2025 (30 June 2024: 2.9% on a gross basis, with 2.6% on a net basis, taking into account the interest income resulting from the disbursement of IFC loan and management of the excess liquidity). Unsecured debt represented 88% of total debt as at 30 June 2025. The unhedged balance exposed to variable interest rate corresponds to the IFC loan and represents 15% of the total outstanding debt.
The fair value of all financial instruments is substantially in line with their carrying amounts as reflected on the Statement of financial position, except for bonds.

Further details for the Group's loans and bonds are presented below:
The Group has secured term loans contracted by some of its subsidiaries in Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Romania. The secured loans contracted by the entities in Czech Republic and Romania are subject to compliance with covenants within twelve months after the reporting date (prospective debt service cover ratio). The Group has no indication that it will have difficulty complying with these covenants.
The Group has two green unsecured financing agreements with IFC, one which matures in June 2028 in amount of €73.5 million and another one which matures in January 2029 in amount of €445 million.
The €445 million loan has sustainability-linked KPIs in line with the Group's Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework. Management considers that the sustainability related variability feature does not meet the definition of a derivative, as defined in Appendix A of IFRS 9, on the basis that these KPIs are non–financial variables specific to the Group.
At 30 June 2025, there were €690 million revolving facilities available for drawdown.

All available revolving facilities are linked either to the ESG performance of the Group through the sustainability rating provided by Sustainalytics or have sustainability-linked KPIs in line with the Group's Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework.
Management considers that the above ESG related variability feature does not meet the definition of a derivative, as defined in Appendix A of IFRS 9, on the basis that the external rating is a non–financial variable specific to the Group.
The Group successfully issued fixed coupon bonds as follows:
All the bonds include early redemption options. At each date of bond issue initial recognition management has performed an assessment whether those options are closely related to the host contract, considering the IFRS 9 clauses, which states that early repayment options are closely related to the host debt, if either:
Based on management assessment in case of the exercise of any of the early redemption options either first or second criteria will be met, therefore those were considered as closely related to the bond and thus not separately valued and disclosed.
NEPI Rockcastle has complied with all financial covenants of its borrowing facilities during the six month period ended 30 June 2025 and 2024. The ratios calculated for all unsecured loans and bonds showed ample headroom compared to the covenants:

The Group rents its investment property under operating leases of various expiry terms. The standard terms of the leases comprise information relating to leased space, rent, rights and obligations of the landlord and tenant, including notice periods, renewal options and service charge arrangements. For most of the leases, the rent is indexed annually, over the term of the leases. Most retail leases have turnover rent clauses, which specify that if the agreed percentage of turnover from the retail unit under lease exceeds the base rent, the tenant will pay the difference to the Group.
A proportion of 10.1% (€31,416 thousand) of the Gross rental income is represented by the turnover and overage rent (paid on top of fixed rent) as at 30 June 2025 (30 June 2024: 11.3% (€ 31,498 thousand)).
Lease incentives represent the non-recurring amount granted (in cash or as fit-out works) by the Group, to a new or an existing tenant, in connection with a new or renewed lease. Lease incentives are straight-lined over the lease term and recorded as reduction in revenue. The lease term corresponds to the contractual duration for the majority of the leases, except for the anchor tenants, for which the lease duration is assessed by the Group based on past experience and taking into account factors such as: GLA of the property where the anchor tenant is located, catchment area, dominance/competition in the catchment area or purchasing power.

The future minimum lease payments receivable under operating leases are detailed below:

The operating segments for management purposes are the individual properties. For reporting purposes, the Group aggregates the retail properties (shopping malls and street retail centres) on geographic regions of operation. There are a total of eight reportable segments as of June 2025, which include Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Czech Republic and Lithuania for 2025 and nine reportable segments for 2024 comparative period, including Serbia.
Retail properties are considered to have a different economic and risk profiles compared to other types of properties in the group portfolio, therefore are aggregated and reported separately on geographies.
The office and industrial businesses are immaterial for the Group from both operational and financial statements disclosure points of view. The weight of these categories is below 1% of the total Group portfolio. These properties, together with the corporate entities (group holding companies), are separately disclosed in the "Unallocated" section below.
Starting December 2024, the Group started to voluntarily present two new business segments - Residential and Energy. The Residential segment, based on a Board decision in August 2024, will be expanded from one development in 2023 to another 3 developments in Romania in the following years. The Energy business involves investment in photovoltaic panels on the rooftops of Group properties, as well as greenfield photovoltaic plants. The revenues generated by the photovoltaic panels is realised from the sale of electricity to the tenants of the Group's retail properties. This revenue will increase in the coming years following the roll-out of the rooftops' panels across all Group geographies and investments in greenfield plants.
The Chief Operating Decision Makers ("CODM") monitor the results of each reportable segment independently for the purposes of allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance, as this is the key IFRS 8 driver of segmentation. The measure of reporting segment performance is Profit before net finance costs and other items, as disclosed in the following tables. The Group's financing policy (including its impact on financial income and expenses), corporate activities and income tax matters are handled at Group level, and the resulting impacts are not allocated to the operating segments.
For the balance sheet, the relevant measure of segment analysis is considered the investment properties and property, plant and equipment for the Energy segment, as the CODM are monitoring closely the asset performance at each reporting date.
Segment investments over a period is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire and develop investment properties, as well as capital expenditure spent on investment properties and property, plant and equipment.
Following the change in presentation of segment information by adding two new business segments, Residential and Energy, the figures presented in the comparative tables below were adjusted accordingly.

2 In the computation of distributable earnings, the Company eliminated the impact of the amortisation and depreciation related to intangibles and PPE of an administrative nature. The DEPS is impacted by the depreciation expense of the photovoltaic panels (€692 thousand for the six months ended June 2025, NIL for for the six months ended June 2024 ), which is a revenue generating activity.
3 Excludes 1,640,511 treasury shares. For further details please see Note 9.
The starting point for the headline earnings per share calculation are earnings as determined in IAS 33, excluding "separately identifiable re-measurements", net of related tax (both current and deferred) other than re-measurements specifically included in headline earnings (referred to as included re-measurements), in terms of Circular 1/2023 issued by South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA).
The calculation of headline earnings per share for the six month period ended 30 June 2025 was based on headline earnings of €188,207 thousand (six month period ended 30 June 2024: of €187,851 thousand) and the weighted average number of shares.

The Group is subject to various taxes across all jurisdictions in which it operates. The calculation of tax charges and provisions involves a degree of estimation and judgment. There are transactions and calculations for which the relevant tax authorities have indicated different interpretations of the fiscal legislation compared to the Group's approach. When such discrepancies arise, the carrying amount of tax provisions and charges is determined based on the expected resolution of tax assessments and the stage of discussions or negotiations with the relevant tax authorities. Given the complexity of tax regulations, the final outcome of tax proceedings is often uncertain and may take several years to be resolved.
Several Group entities in Romania have recently been subject to tax inspections by the Romanian Tax Authorities ("RTA"). For substantially all of the entities, the tax inspections have been finalized, resulting in additional tax liabilities imposed by RTA's totaling €29 million as of the date of these financial statements. These liabilities are primarily related to the RTA's challenges to the deductibility and pricing of certain intra-group transactions, reflecting a position that differs from the Group's interpretation of applicable tax legislation and transfer pricing principles.
As the Group is not aware of the RTA's position being established as market practice in Romania or in other CEE countries where it operates, it intends to challenge the RTA's conclusions where appropriate. Out of the additional tax liabilities imposed, an amount of €11.2 million has been paid by 30 June 2025 and a corresponding tax receivable has been recognised in Other long-tem assets, based on management's assessment of the likely outcome of the challenge. The remaining amount was either paid after the reporting date or is expected to be settled in the near term.
No additional tax liabilities have been recorded in connection with these audits, as management believes further tax assessments are not warranted.
To assess potential tax contingencies, management has evaluated various scenarios, incorporating different sets of possible outcomes, updated for the most recent tax positions taken by the RTA. Based on this analysis, the weighted average estimated impact of potential additional tax liabilities is €12.8 million.
The Group operates in a complex legal and regulatory environment, exposing it to various risks. It carefully evaluates all facts and assesses the implications that could have a material effect on the financial statements. To the extent the Group is subject to reviews, procedures, information requests and other assessments, including regulatory or tax matters, multiple outcomes are possible, which may result in further regulatory or tax investigations, litigations or sanctions.
The implementation of Pillar Two across multiple jurisdictions, uncertainties in its wording, reliance on safe harbor provisions, and unclear charging mechanisms create challenges in assessing NEPI Rockcastle's (future) tax exposure. The Group continuously

monitors the impact it has on the financial statements for each jurisdiction. Uncertainties in interpretation of Pillar Two mean different outcomes are possible.
As at 30 June 2025, the Group had received letters of guarantee from tenants worth €157,866 thousand (31 December 2024: €152,131 thousand) and from suppliers worth €31,676 thousand (31 December 2024: €32,565 thousand) related to ongoing developments.
In the second half (H2) of 2025, the Group estimates to invest €176 million in development and capital expenditure related to its ongoing projects or new development opportunities (impacting investment property and property, plant and equipment), out of which only a portion is already contracted at reporting date.
The Directors are not aware of any subsequent events from 30 June 2025 and up to the date of signing these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements which are likely to have a material effect on the financial information contained in this report.

European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA), the representative organisation of the publicly listed real estate industry in Europe, has established a set of Best Practice Recommendation Guidelines (EPRA BPR), which focus on the key measures of the most relevance to investors. These recommendations aim to give financial statements of public real estate companies more clarity, more transparency and comparability across European peers.
The Group has been awarded for the last five years with Gold Award for BPR for financial reporting, the highest standard for transparency of financial performance measures.
Certain of these EPRA measures are considered to be pro forma financial information in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements. These include EPRA earnings (euro thousand), EPRA earnings per share (euro cents per share), EPRA net reinstatement value ("NRV") (euro per share), EPRA net tangible assets ("NTA") (euro per share) and EPRA net disposal value ("NDV") (euro per share) (collectively, the "Non-IFRS Financial Information").
The Non-IFRS Financial Information is presented in accordance with the JSE Limited Listings Requirements and is the responsibility of the Directors. The Non-IFRS Financial Information has been presented for illustrative purposes and, due to its nature, may not fairly present the Group's financial position or result of operations.
The starting point for all the Non-IFRS Financial Information has been extracted, without adjustment, from the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2025.

The EPRA NAV set of metrics make adjustments to the NAV per the IFRS financial statements to provide stakeholders with the most relevant information on the fair value of the assets and liabilities of a real estate investment company, under different scenarios.
The objective of the EPRA Net Reinstatement Value measure is to highlight the value of net assets on a long-term basis. Assets and liabilities that are not expected to crystallise in normal circumstances such as the fair value movements on financial derivatives and deferred taxes on property valuation surpluses are therefore excluded. Since the aim of the metric is to also reflect what would be needed to recreate the company through the investment markets based on its current capital and financing structure, related costs such as real estate transfer taxes should be included.
The underlying assumption behind the EPRA Net Tangible Assets calculation assumes entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of deferred tax liability.
The EPRA Net Disposal Value provides the reader with a scenario where deferred tax, financial instruments, and certain other adjustments are calculated as to the full extent of their liability, including tax exposure not reflected in the balance sheet, net of any resulting tax. This measure should not be viewed as a "liquidation NAV" because, in many cases, fair values do not represent liquidation values.
For more detailed explanations of EPRA adjustments and requirements please refer to the EPRA Best Practices Recommendations (EPRA\_BPR\_Guidelines).

The EPRA Net Initial Yield (NIY) is calculated as the annualised rental income based on passing cash rents, less non-recoverable property operating expenses, divided by the gross market value of the property.
In EPRA "topped-up" NIY, the net rental income is "topped-up" to reflect rent after the expiry of lease incentives such as rent-free periods and rental discounts.

The EPRA Vacancy Rate estimates the percentage of the total potential rental income not received due to vacancy.
The EPRA Vacancy Rate is calculated by dividing the estimated rental value of vacant premises by the estimated rental value of the entire property portfolio if all premises were fully leased. The EPRA vacancy rate is calculated using valuation reports performed by independent experts.
| EPRA Vacancy Rate | 30 June 2025 | 31 December 2024 | 30 June 2024 |

EPRA Cost ratios reflect the relevant administrative and operating costs of the business and provide a recognised and understood reference point for analysis of a company's costs.
The EPRA Cost ratio (including direct vacancy costs) includes all administrative and operating expenses in the IFRS statements (net of any service fees).
The EPRA Cost ratio (excluding direct vacancy costs) is calculated as above, but with an adjustment to exclude vacancy costs.
| EPRA Cost ratios | 30 June 2025 | 31 December 2024 | 30 June 2024 |

The LTV ratio is an important metric that assesses the lending risk a lender bears by providing a loan as per the borrower's requirement and it shows the relation of debt to the fair value of the assets. NEPI Rockcastle has chosen to disclose, among other indicators, the EPRA LTV ratio, calculated in accordance with EPRA Best Practices Recommendations.
There are a few changes compared to existing LTVs. One of the main changes is that the current net receivables/payables amount is included in the calculation of EPRA LTV. Another company-specific change is that Group LTV considers property, plant and equipment related to its energy producing assets (photovoltaic panels) in the calculation.
