The data below is presented at constant exchange rate (CER).
The first half of 2025 has shown continued portfolio growth in terms of footage, revenues, operational margin, earnings and value.
Our well-established strategy of focusing our operation and expansion on the largest metropolitan areas of Europe results in reliable and predictable growth. We continue to improve our scalability through organic and bolt-on expansion, while at the same time operating more efficiently our same store pool through enhanced digitalization of our processes.
The addition of 40 new stores vs prior year has significantly bolstered all-store revenue, reaching €223.1 million in the first half of 2025, an uplift of 17.1% vs H1 2024, flowing through our underlying EBITDA has increased by an impressive 17.4% and adjusted EPRA earnings are up 2.7%, in line with our guidance. This reflects the longterm financing of this growth with fixed interest rates, meaning that we will benefit from persistent growth in the future.
Earnings per share have grown by 1.3%, including the slight dilution from the scrip dividend. Our net debt/underlying EBITDA is 6.0x (3.8x in H1 2024) whereas loan-to-value (LTV) stands at 22.8% (versus 15.4% in H1 2024), following the before mentioned long-term financing efforts.
Looking at our same store pool (83% of the portfolio), all countries have experienced growth in their same store revenue (+4.7%), combining stable high occupancy (89.0%) with incremental in place rental growth (+4.6%). With regard to cost management, we have increased our same store NOI margin by c.90 bp vs last year; reflecting the impact of realized synergies, cost benefits from our store clustering strategy and broader cost management initiatives. The UK portfolio acquired in August 2024 has been completely rebranded, adjusted to our standard systems and we have also already aligned the unit mix. The portfolio continues to grow occupancy in line with our guidance of reaching 90% by December 2026 and the delivery of synergies of €4 to €5 million are on track too.
Since January 2025, we have added 26,900 sqm, the majority of which comes from three new openings. We plan to complete a further four major redevelopments and eight new openings in the UK, the Netherlands, France and Germany by year-end. As noted in our guidance, we expect in the next two years 13.9% more capacity or 225,900 sqm excluding bolt-on M&A. This capacity growth will allow us to increase our scalability and profitability as we are replicating attractive facilities with similar customer dynamics and executing our well-established strategy.
Our commitment to base our growth strategy on a robust financial foundation is reflected in our BBB+ investment-grade credit rating from S&P. We remain the only European self-storage company to achieve this and are building on a fully unencumbered portfolio. During H1 2025, we successfully issued our second public bond of €500 million, with a 10 year maturity and a fixed coupon of 4.0%.
As per our dividend policy, we have announced a gross half-year dividend of €0.58 per share – payment will be made on or around September 15, 2025.
We are pleased to report that we are on track for carbon neutrality (Scope 1 and 2) by 2030 and we are advancing our net zero roadmap by extending energy efficiency upgrades to newly acquired stores and executing the deployment of heat pumps, building management systems, and BREEAM certifications. Our solar strategy is progressing across the UK, the Netherlands, and Belgium. In the latter, we have also launched battery energy storage systems to enhance energy resilience.
We maintain strong governance and transparency ambitions, marked by an increase in board gender diversity and sustained recognition by key sustainability rating agencies.
We confirm our outlook 2025.
I would like to thank our teams, the Shurgard board, our investors, and wider stakeholders for another successful six months. I look forward to what we will achieve together in the second half of the year.

Shurgard intends to declare a dividend of €1.17 per share for the full fiscal year. For the first half of 2025, our Board of Directors approved a half-year dividend of €0.58 per share or €57.9 million to be paid on or around September 15, 2025.
For the half-year dividend, the Board also decided that it will offer shareholders, by way of an optional scrip dividend, the possibility of contributing their claim arising from the distribution of profits, into the capital of the Company (as defined on page 10) against the issue of new shares, in addition to the option of receiving the dividend in cash, and the option of opting for a combination of the two preceding options.
As it has in the past, Shurgard will continue to review its dividend policy to ensure it remains competitive.
KBC Securities was appointed as liquidity provider in June 2019, with the contract being officially recognized by Euronext. The Company aims to make the necessary efforts to maintain the liquidity of its order book and increase the trading volumes of its share, to benefit current and potential investors.

Shurgard Self Storage Ltd (referred to as the "Company", "Shurgard", "we", "us", "our" or the "Group", which includes the Company together with its consolidated subsidiaries) is a limited Company incorporated under the laws of the Bailiwick of Guernsey.
Certain statements contained herein may be statements of future expectations and/or other forward-looking statements that are based on our current views and assumptions. These involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, performance, or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Shurgard does not intend and does not undertake any obligation to revise these forward-looking statements.
We are the largest owner and operator of self-storage facilities, which we refer to as properties, stores, assets, or locations, in Europe in terms of number of properties and net rentable sqm. We started our operations in 1995 and are one of the pioneers of the self-storage concept in Europe. As of June 30, 2025, we operate 338 selfstorage stores (including 17 stores under management contract) in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Sweden, Belgium, and Denmark.
Across this network, we have developed an integrated self-storage group with local expertise in the seven countries. We have centralized in-house capabilities to design, develop, acquire, and operate properties. This allows us to provide a consistent experience to residential and commercial customers.
We generate revenue through the lease of storage units and related activities such as the sale of storage products and packaging, but also through the fees paid by customers for the coverage of the stored goods. Our property operating revenue and income from property (NOI) have increased steadily in recent years. Over this time, we increased rental rates across our network and grew our portfolio through new developments, redevelopments, and acquisitions. The table below shows our property operating revenue and NOI for the first half year 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
| (in € millions) | Q2 2025 | Q2 2024 | +/- | H1 2025 | H1 2024 | +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Property operating revenue | 111.5 | 95.9 | 16.3% | 223.1 | 189.3 | 17.9% |
| NOI | 75.4 | 65.4 | 15.2% | 140.0 | 119.1 | 17.6% |
| NOI margin | 67.6% | 68.2% | -0.6pp | 62.7% | 62.9% | -0.2pp1 |
1 Slight reduction in NOI margin is mainly due to the higher proportion of stores in a ramp up phase, typically associated with a lower margin before reaching maturity.
Our integrated, digitalized, and centralized operating platform allows us to manage many operational functions for our portfolio of properties from a central European support center. This centralization of skills and management, together with our new cluster operating model, enables us to run a lean organization and provide significant operational leverage. The resulting economies of scale have a direct positive impact on our same store NOI margin, which we managed to keep high at 62.7% in H1 2025 compared to 62.9% in H1 2024 despite significant pressure from inflation and increased real estate taxes.
Our platform approach relies on consistency in our performance measures and key support functions across the portfolio. This means managing the yield achieved by our properties through a balance of occupancy and pricing levels. It also means we have consistency in operational and management initiatives, such as aligning sales processes, branding, shop design and supplier relations. On a granular level, we can gather information on local conditions and monitor online traffic, conversion rates and other key metrics through our automated centralized information management systems.
We continue to target growth through further development and bolt-on acquisitions. As an increasing proportion of our sales and marketing activities migrate to online customer interactions, we believe this platform approach will play a significant role in maintaining efficient operations across our network. This belief is supported by the scalability of our information management systems and centralized platform, and the consistency of operations in each of our properties.

Self storage is a business-to-consumer (B2C) enterprise in the real estate sector that provides storage units, typically on a monthly basis, to individuals (approximately 70%) and business users (approximately 30%)1 . Individuals primarily use self storage as a "remote attic or basement" to store household goods, while businesses often store for example excess inventory or archived records. Storage units often differ in size and can range from one sqm to more than 50 sqm. One of the key drivers of self-storage adoption is population density, where space is at a premium, and households or businesses need cost-effective storage solutions.
For individuals, the industry accommodates storage needs generated by a broad set of "life changes", e.g., death, divorce, marriage, relocation, moving and university, as well as longer-term discretionary uses. On the commercial side, self storage is used by small businesses, e-businesses and other home-based operations, as well as large companies looking for overflow storage or the ability to place materials in various locations for sales people or retail distribution.
The European self-storage market has been characterized by a period of sustained growth in recent years. It currently comprises approximately 9,600 facilities across Europe, providing 16.5 million sqm of space.1 In the seven countries where we operate, there are c. 12.7 million sqm of rentable area across approximately 7,000 self-storage properties (including containers).1
The largest self-storage market in Europe is the United Kingdom, accounting for 35% of total facilities. Over 68% of the facilities are located in four countries within Europe (UK, France, Germany and Spain). 1 The average amount of self-storage floor area per capita across Europe is significantly lower than the much more mature US market, indicating significant further growth potential. In terms of competition, the European self-storage market is still fragmented. We estimate that we have a market share of around 28% in the capital cities where we operate.
Industry growth has been driven by rising customer demand, supported by demographic and macroeconomic trends, increasing customer awareness of self storage, and the continued development of the supply of selfstorage properties. During the pandemic the industry proved its resilient nature as it did during the global financial crisis in 2008. Self storage recorded excellent rent collection from customers and an increase in occupancy and rental levels. In addition, the trend towards greater online functionality and more sophisticated platforms has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, with many customers becoming more comfortable with online self-storage transactions, especially in the older age groups.
Several factors have supported demand for self storage from residential customers in recent years. These include favorable demographic and macroeconomic trends, such as population growth, urbanization, higher levels of mobility, micro-living, increasing personal wealth and ownership of more storable goods, as well as increased consumer awareness. Furthermore, with the increase in hybrid working, many people have created a home office so have turned to self storage to create space for this by storing household items that they do not need every day. These trends have been particularly strong in urban areas, where high density levels, elevated housing costs and the scarcity of housing and storage space are expected to support longer-term pricing rates and occupancy levels.
1 Fedessa report 2024.
Demand from business customers has generally been supported by the growth of new online retailers and small businesses, which require flexible and cost-effective storage options. We expect these trends to continue to support the demand for self storage in the coming years.
The supply of self-storage properties has grown significantly in recent years, alongside increases in customer demand. This growth is also influenced by the high level of fragmentation in the European self-storage industry. As a result, the market has been characterized by periods of consolidation in recent years, which we expect to continue in the future.
Our goal is to increase shareholder value by further strengthening our position as the leading self-storage operator in Europe, operating strategically located properties and providing an increasingly digitalized customer service designed to satisfy the requirements and priorities of both residential and business customers.
We aim to expand our position in the seven countries where we operate, with a particular focus on attractive urban areas such as London, South-East UK, Paris, the "Big Seven" cities in Germany (such as Berlin and Hamburg), as well as Randstad in the Netherlands. Our growth strategy benefits from our established track record of redeveloping and developing properties, plus acquiring competitors. With our centralized and technologyfocused operating platform, we will benefit from immediate operating leverage and additional economies of scale.
Throughout our 93% freehold1 portfolio, we are able to continuously analyze our operations for opportunities to undertake remix projects. As part of this, we monitor a variety of demand metrics across our existing property network. These are based on factors like occupancy rates for various unit sizes, customer visits to our website, online pricing searches, and in-store interactions with our customers. Where these metrics indicate the property could benefit from a "remix", we reorganize the units at a property to reflect customer demand in that particular market to improve occupancy levels or increase rental rates. We also expand our existing properties when there is an increase in local demand and the returns justify the expansion of the rentable area.
With our strong development team of dedicated development, acquisition and construction specialists, we are seeking to add 90,000 sqm per year through new developments and acquisitions.
We plan new developments, which could be purpose built or an existing building converted into self storage, by focusing on a set of clear selection criteria, both operational and financial, including attractive and cycle-resilient locations in our existing markets.
In addition, we intend to continue to take advantage of the fragmentation of the self-storage market in Europe to acquire properties from competitors across the seven countries where we operate, as well as strategic acquisitions where we deem appropriate. We believe that our experience and knowledge of the markets in which we currently operate should enable us to identify opportunities with attractive potential returns, benefiting from immediate operating leverage and additional economies of scale. We continue to focus on urban areas that we anticipate will enjoy strong demand during all economic cycles and provide attractive growth potential.
1 Including long-term lease agreements of at least 80 years remaining life ("long leasehold properties").
Our goal is to maximize revenue through increased occupancy levels and rental rates. We drive revenue growth through best-in-class yield management, supported by machine learning engines, both for prospects (board rates) and existing customers (in-place rent). We regularly evaluate our properties' rental rates based on unit demand and unit availability.
We believe that the Shurgard brand is a critical marketing tool, and we use a variety of channels to increase customer awareness of our name. These include highly visible property locations, site signage and architectural features. In addition, our marketing and sales processes are supported by several activities on social media and other websites to improve our brand awareness and direct potential customers to our website and properties. As part of our marketing activities, we regularly conduct focus group research and online surveys to identify the primary considerations in customers' self-storage choices and satisfaction. This allows us to better attract and service customers.
The number of properties we operate (including 17 stores under management contract) has grown to a network of 338 properties comprising 1,704,998 net rentable sqm as of June 30, 2025, representing a growth of 17.3% compared to H1 2024. While Shurgard does not own the above-mentioned properties under management contract, we receive a management fee in return for operating them under our operating model, and benefit from economies of scale.
We focus the operation of our owned properties in urban areas across Europe, with 94% of our properties located in capital and major cities. At the end of June 2025, 93% of our net square rentable area was in properties that we own ("freehold properties") or operate under long-term lease agreements of at least 80 years remaining life ("long leasehold properties"). The occupancy rate across all properties averaged 85.5% in H1 2025. The average in-place rent per sqm was €280.9 during the period.

The following discussion of Group revenue and expenses down to underlying EBITDA is on a constant exchange rate (CER) basis, where 2024 actual exchange rate (AER) numbers are recalculated using 2025 exchange rates.
Our real estate operating revenue is comprised of property operating revenue, which includes rental revenue, fee income from customer goods coverage, ancillary revenue, and other revenue.

1 Ancillary revenue consists of merchandise sales and other revenue from real estate operations.
2 Other revenue includes, besides other, management fees earned and are invoiced on top of any cost-recharges done. Other revenue net is negative as costs incurred exceeded management fees earned, resulted in a net loss.
Rental revenue is derived from our core business of renting storage units. The key levers of rental revenue growth are more storage space (from acquisitions, new developments, and redevelopments), as well as higher occupancy levels and higher rental rates.
In H1 2025, rental revenue increased by 17.0% to €196.2 million, from €167.6 million in H1 2024. This was driven by an increase of 13.0% in average rented sqm combined with an increase in rental rates (up 3.6% compared with H1 2024). Across our expanded network, our closing rented sqm increased by 11.5% to 1,413 thousand sqm as of June 30, 2025 from 1,268 thousand sqm on June 30, 2024.
Customers renting storage from Shurgard are required to have coverage for their stored goods. They can use their own insurance provider or Shurgard can offer customer goods protection. Any advice and claims regarding customer goods coverage are directly handled by our insurance broker/insurer. The Company manages its insurable risks through a combination of self-insurance and commercial insurance coverage for property damage, business interruption and customer goods-related claims via our insurance captive.
As of January 1, 2024, the Company has implemented "SHURprotect" for its UK tenants, a program whereby UK tenants are compensated for damages to their goods directly by the Group's UK subsidiary.
As of June 30, 2025, fee income from customer goods coverage increased by 20.2% to €21.2 million (H1 2024: €17.6 million). This was driven by our non-same store portfolio, as well as by growth in the same store segment – primarily due to a slightly higher insurance premium and an increase in the number of customers opting for it.
Ancillary revenue is derived from the sale of products (cardboard boxes, locks and tape) in our properties. It also includes other revenue from real estate operations (e.g. office and parking rent, billboards, etc.). Ancillary revenue increase from €5.2 million to €5.7 million between H1 2024 and H1 2025, driven by the other real estate revenue from our recent acquisitions.

1 Other operating expenses mainly include travel expenses, legal and consultancy fees, insurance expenses, non-deductible VAT, information system expenses and property lease expenses.
During the first half of 2025, our real estate operating expenses went up by 17.8%. This is mainly attributable to an increase in real estate and other taxes (€3.6 million) coming from the third consecutive year of real estate tax increase announced by the UK tax authorities and the addition of new stores. The addition of properties, mainly through acquisitions and developments combined with the reinforcement of our support centers also drives the higher cost in payroll expenses (up €3.3 million). Furthermore, marketing expenses increased by €1.9 million, reflecting the higher costs of online advertising and our larger portfolio. Other operating expenses have increased by €1.6 million mainly due to (i) the addition of stores to the portfolio (€1.0 million) and (ii) the higher card processing fees following the transition to a new integrated and standardized payment platform (€0.4 million). Finally, repair and maintenance expenses increased by almost €1.0 million following the recent acquisitions, with stable costs in our same store portfolio. While our same stores experienced an increase of 9.5% in real estate and other taxes compared to H1 2024, its corresponding NOI margin has increased by 0.9pp.
Net income from real estate operations reflects the real estate operating revenue minus the real estate operating expenses incurred in running our operations. Net income from real estate operations rose by 16.7%, to €139.9 million in H1 2025. Despite operating 70 stores in our non-same store segment compared to 30 stores in the prior year, we were able to largely maintain our margin. This was made possible by our standardized IT and marketing platforms and unique strategic position of our operating platform, which helped contain costs and supported revenue growth outpacing normalized expense increases. This is further evidenced by the growth in same store margins.
The following table shows the development of our property network (same stores and non-same stores) and our property operating revenue split by the two segments on a year-on-year basis.

Our average rented sqm increased slightly in H1 2025, to 1,144 thousand sqm, 0.3% higher than the same period last year. The average in-place rent per sqm for our same store facilities grew by 4.6% to €286.8 in H1 2025 from €274.2 in H1 2024.
Property operating revenue generated by our same store facilities increased by €8.4 million or 4.7% to €185.6 million in the first six months of 2025, driven by improvements in average in-place rental rates and higher average rented sqm.
Income from property (NOI) for our same stores rose from €114.2 million in H1 2024 to €121.3 million in H1 2025, with the same store NOI margin increasing by 0.9pp from 64.4% to 65.3%. This margin improvement reflects the impact of realized synergies, cost benefits from our store clustering and overall cost management initiatives. We achieved this against a strong inflationary background, reflecting our ability to control operating expenses and leverage our strong sales.
Occupancy, in-place rent and margin contribution can vary greatly between these properties depending on their maturity.
Non-same store property operating revenue increased from €13.2 million in H1 2024 to €37.5 million in H1 2025. This increase was due to the continued "ramp-up" at our new properties and the net addition of 40 non-same stores.

On the back of a 17.1% increase in real estate operating revenue, general, administrative and other expenses increased slightly less by 14.8%, from €13.8 million in H1 2024 to €15.8 million in H1 2025. Our payroll expenses grew by €0.9 million versus prior year, reflecting the impact of inflation and forward leaning investments into new positions to support the future growth. This was countered by a slight increase of capitalized internal development costs by €0.2 million, reflecting the increase in our development activities. Depreciation and amortization ended up €1.3 million higher, following our continued investment in IT improvement and digitalization projects, and the amortization of the Lok'nStore trademark and management contracts' intangible assets for €0.8 million. Other general and administrative expenses remained stable at €5.6 million.
We pay the owner of the trade name "Shurgard", Public Storage, a royalty fee equal to 1.0% of revenues (net of doubtful debt expenses) in exchange for the rights to use the trade name and benefit from other services. In H1 2025, we incurred royalty fees of €2.2 million (H1 2024: €1.9 million).
Other expenses for the first half of 2025 amount to a total of €1.6 million and consisted mainly of a €0.8 million non-recurring cost for the implementation of our new ERP system and a €0.8 million for upfront costs incurred on pipeline expansion opportunities that ultimately did not materialize.
Operating profit before property related adjustments increased by 19.1% to €120.3 million in H1 2025, reflecting the operational strength of the core business (before adjustments).
Operating profit increased by 83.2% to €458.7 million in H1 2025, largely driven by €189.5 million higher gains from our investment property.

At constant exchange rate, underlying EBITDA rose by 17.4% in 2025, from €106.6 million the previous year to €125.1 million this year, mainly supported by an increase in property operating revenue of 17.1%.
The Company recognized a valuation gain from investment property and investment property under construction of €338.5 million for the first six months of 2025, which compares to a valuation gain of €148.9 million for the same period last year. The valuation assumptions made by external valuers Cushman & Wakefield include predicted occupancy levels, rental rates, expenses and other factors that, depending on each assumption, can cause substantial fluctuations in valuation gains each year.
The valuation gain of €338.5 million, combined with capital expenditure and partially offset by unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations, resulted in an increase in total investment property value of €428.6 million to €6,839.2 million (+6.7%), compared to December 31, 2024.

Net finance costs grew from €11.3 million in H1 2024 to €27.0 million in H1 2025, reflecting the increase of our net debt (from €831 million in June 2024 to €1,561 million in June 2025). This increase reflects the long-term financing of our major acquisitions in the UK and Germany, as well as our development pipeline. In the last twelve month, we issued two 10-year benchmark Euro bonds (October 2024 and May 2025), with fixed coupons of 3.6% and 4.0%, respectively. As a result, combined with the repayment of low interest rate debt, our average cost of debt increased to 3.29% in June 2025 (vs. 2.39% in June 2024). Due to the early refinancing of our term loan facility during in 2025, the Group also expensed the unamortized portion of the related debt financing costs for €1.0 million.

The basis of calculation for each of the measures set out above are illustrated in the appendix of this Half-Year Report (Alternative Performance Measures).
Our primary cash requirements are for operating expenses, debt servicing, improvements to existing properties, developments and acquisitions of new properties, and for the payment of dividends. We expect to continue to fund these requirements with operating cash flow, our existing cash position and future borrowings under our current bank credit facility or other borrowings.
Our loan-to-value ratio on June 30, 2025, is 22.8% (23.3% as of December 31, 2024). The increase of the ratio was due to the increase in our net debt that proportionally increased more than our market value. We are targeting a loan-to-value ratio of 25%, with a short-to-mid-term maximum of 35%.
We maintain (local currency) cash and cash equivalent balances at banking institutions in most of the countries we operate. It is our policy that investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties with a minimum investment grade credit rating.

Cash flows from operating activities increased by 22.9% from €78.4 million in the first half of 2024 to €96.4 million in the first half of 2025. This was mainly due to €21.1 million increased cash flows from operations, partially offset by €1.9 million increased income tax payments and €1.2 million of unfavourable movements in working capital.
The movement in working capital consists of €2.2 million of increased movements in accrued expenses, VAT payable and accounts payable, and €3.5 million increased movement in trade and other receivables and €0.1 million decreased movements in deferred revenue.
Our cash outflow from investing activities decreased by €52.7 million, from €184.9 million in the first half of 2024, to €132.2 million in the first half of 2025. This was primarily due to €117.4 million decreased spending on acquisitions, €0.4 million decreased spending on intangible assets and €0.4 million decreased spending on property, plant and equipment, partially offset by €64.3 million increased capital expenditure for our investment property and investment property under construction and €1.2 million decreased income from our cash deposits.
Cash outflows in relation to capital expenditure on investment property under construction and completed investment property increased from €57.6 million in the first half of 2024 to €121.9 million in the first half of 2025.
These cash flows fluctuate over years, as construction expenditures depend on the stage of the various development projects at that time. In the first six months of 2025, we opened two new properties, and we acquired one new property. During the same period last year, we opened two properties, and we acquired seven new properties. We refer to our portfolio expansion included earlier in this report.
Cash inflow during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was €43.6 million, representing a decrease of €13.9 million versus the €57.5 million net cash inflow during the same period last year.
The decrease of net cash inflow was mainly the result of €50.0 million decrease in net issuance of debt, €0.8 million decreased proceeds from equity issuance, €4.6 million increased interest payments and €1.4 million increased equity issuance and financing related costs. These negative elements were partially offset by €42.9 million decrease in dividends distributed in cash.
During the first half of 2025 and 2024, we had a €1.2 million negative effect and a €0.5 million positive effect, respectively of exchange rate fluctuations on our cash flow movements.
During the first six months of 2025, the Company's total assets increased by 6.9% from €6,623.2 million on December 31, 2024, to €7,078.5 million on June 30, 2025, mainly due to the €428.6 million increase in investment property and investment property under construction (''IPUC''), and an increase in cash of €6.7 million. As of June 30, 2025, approximately 96.9% of the Company's total assets consisted of non-current assets. Investment property (including right-of-use investment property) and IPUC represent 96.6% of total assets.
Investment property (including IPUC but excluding IP ROU assets recognized under IFRS 16) increased by 6.9% (or €434.8 million) in the period ended June 30, 2025 to €6,704.3 million. The main reasons are incremental expenditure of €129.9 million, predominantly for developments and redevelopments, and acquisitions of €8.0 million. These additions were partially offset by €43.2 million unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations. In addition, the Company recognized €340.2 million of favorable fair value revaluation income on its investment property and investment property under construction.
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of €149.2 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to €142.6 million cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024, an increase of €6.7 million.
Shurgard's financial resources comprise the Company's total equity as well as certain debt financing instruments. The Company's total equity increased by €293.8 million from €4,019.8 million on December 31, 2024, to €4,313.6 million on June 30, 2025, mainly due to €352.9 million net profit realized during the period, €2.0 million increase in share-based compensation reserves and €43.5 million net proceeds from the issuance of equity. These increases were partially offset by €58.1 million dividend distribution in the first half of 2025 and €46.5 million revaluation loss on consolidation of our Swedish, Danish and British operations in the first half of 2025.
As of June 30, 2025, the equity ratio is 60.9% (December 31, 2024: 60.7%).

Shurgard has outstanding senior guaranteed notes in the years 2014, 2015 and 2021 with a total nominal amount of €570 million at June 30, 2025 and maturities varying between 2026 and 2031. Effective interest rates vary from 1.3% to 3.4%.
On October 22, 2024, the Company issued 10-year Corporate Bonds for €500 million, bearing fixed interest of 3.625% (effective interest rate of 3.80%) per annum.
In November 2024, Shurgard replaced its €250 million revolving credit facility with a new facility of €500 million, maturing in November 2029. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the commitment fee on the undrawn amounts was equal to 35% of the applicable margins, or 0.16% per annum.
On May 27, 2025, the Company issued 10-year Corporate Bonds for €500 million, bearing fixed interest of 4.0% (effective interest rate of 4.087%) per annum.
It is the Company's objective to pay dividends twice a year in May/June and September/October. The amount of any half year or final dividends and the determination of whether to pay dividends in any year may be affected by a number of factors, including our earnings, business prospects and financial performance, the condition of the market, the general economic climate and other factors considered important by the Board of Directors.
Shurgard intends to declare a dividend of €1.17 per share for the full fiscal year. For the first half of 2025, our Board of Directors approved a half-year dividend of €0.58 per share or €57.9 million to be paid on or around September 15, 2025.
The Board also decided to continue to offer shareholders, by way of an optional scrip dividend, the possibility of contributing their claim arising from the distribution of profits, into the capital of the Company against the issue of new shares, in addition to the option of receiving the dividend in cash, and the option of opting for a combination of the two preceding options
As in the past, Shurgard will continue to review its dividend policy to ensure it remains competitive.
Our employees play a crucial role in the success of our organization by providing our customers with outstanding levels of service and support. We facilitate this by ensuring our people are well trained and motivated, with clear career progression, and feel safe and supported at work.
Our workforce increased in the first six months of 2025 compared with H1 2024 mainly due to Lok'nStore and other acquisitions and developments plus the reinforcement of our support centers, mitigated by our store cluster management rolled out across our markets. The cluster rollout has helped to mitigate same store labor cost increases which have shrunk from 10.4% of our revenues in 2021 to 7.4% in H1 2025 (or -29%). The following table shows the number of full-time equivalent employees by category of activity as of June 2025 and 2024, respectively:
| H1 2025 | H1 2024 | +/- | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Store personnel | 659 | 511 | 148 |

Shurgard is exposed to several risks that are described in detail in the "Principal Risks and Uncertainties" section of the 2024 Annual Report.
There have been no significant events after the reporting period.
Alongside our financial results for the first half of 2025, we share an update on our progress in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters.
With our 2024 Annual Report, we delivered our first reviewed sustainability report aligned with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), covering the reporting year 2024 and marking a key milestone for our reporting maturity under the new European reporting requirements.
We are currently engaging with users, investors, and regulators gathering feedback and input and are considering the constructive insights in shaping and improving our future reporting practices, reflecting our ambition to lead in ESG disclosure.
During the first half of 2025, we made progress on our Net Zero roadmap through further scaling up operational efficiency initiatives, smart technology, and clean energy. For example, our investments in smart building technologies are paying off and are enabling faster and more precise responses to abnormal consumption patterns. This not only improves our energy performance but also directly supports our emissions reduction goals across the portfolio. Overall, during 2025 we so far mainly focused on the following:
Although 100% of our electricity consumption is already backed by guarantees of origin for renewable sources, we are advancing to increase our on-site solar generation strategy across the network, making the next step in that area:
• Following the UK acquisition (former Lok'nStore) in 2024, 44 UK properties (c. 61%) are now equipped with solar panels. Preparations are underway to install solar panels at an additional 25 stores in UK, 23 in the Netherlands, and 15 in Belgium. Across these three markets, we aim to reach full solar coverage for all 74 eligible stores by the end of 2025.
• In Belgium, the solar rollout is supported by a more advanced approach, combining solar with battery energy storage to enhance system efficiency. In early July 2025, we began deploying battery energy storage solutions at 15 of our 21 sites in Belgium, aligning with our Operational Net Zero target and broader energy transition roadmap. Of these 15 stores, three will be equipped with industrial-scale battery systems, while the remaining 12 stores will receive residential-size battery units. All installations are scheduled for completion by the end of 2025.
We maintained a strong governance framework grounded in independence, accountability and transparency. In addition, we raised the bar for sustainability reporting.
Our Board gender diversity increased from 44% to 55% with the appointment of Charley Webb, an independent director, reflecting our continued commitment to inclusive leadership and strong oversight.
Over the past several years, we have continued to strengthen our position as a European leader in sustainable self-storage operations. We are encouraged that our ongoing efforts on this front are being recognized since we last provided an update on this by respected and widely accredited sustainability frameworks:
On July 23, 2021, the Group, via its financing entity Shurgard Luxembourg S.à r.l., issued new ten years senior notes for €300.0 million. The proceeds of the issue were used to repay Tranche A (€100.0 million) of its 2014 senior guaranteed notes maturing in July 2021, to finance acquisitions, and to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, recently completed projects that are underpinned by sustainable criteria such as, for instance, a BREEAM certification (Eligible Green Projects).
We were able to allocate all proceeds to Eligible Green Projects, for a total amount of €300.0 million.
A portion of €89.2 million was used to refinance existing projects at issuance, whereas €210.8 million was used to finance new projects.

Shurgard's Green Bond Committee meeting, which annually reviews the Green Bond Framework and the allocation of net proceeds to the Eligible Green Projects, convened its latest meeting on June 30, 2025.
There are several projects, for which we are still awaiting the delivery of the final certificates, this is expected by 2026. Actions are being taken on both Shurgard and assessors' sides to obtain these final certificates as soon as possible. Shurgard's Green Bond Committee has not identified any projects on the list for which obtaining the required certification is doubtful.
In addition, the amounts allocated to Eligible Green Projects have been reviewed by an independent external audit firm on annual basis and the reports and auditor's limited assurance on the Eligible Green Projects are available on Shurgard's corporate website: https://www.shurgard.com/corporate/corporateresponsibility/reports-and-publications.
By order of the Board, we confirm to the best of our knowledge that:

Shurgard Self Storage Ltd (referred to as the "Company", "Shurgard", "we", "us", "our" or the "Group", which includes the Company together with its consolidated subsidiaries) is a limited Company incorporated in Guernsey and is resident in UK for tax purposes. It has been listed on Euronext Brussels since October 15, 2018 (ticker "SHUR").
Our principal business activities are the acquisition, development and operation of self-storage facilities providing month-to-month leases for business and personal use. We also provide ancillary services at our self-storage properties consisting primarily of sales of storage products (merchandise) and protection of customers' stored goods.
As of June 30, 2025, we operate 338 self-storage facilities (335 self-storage facilities as of December 31, 2024) including 17 stores under management contract in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Germany Sweden, Belgium and Denmark.
Events and/or transactions significant to an understanding of the changes since December 31, 2024, have been included in the notes of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements and mainly relate to:
• On April 1, 2025, the Group acquired one self-storage property in Germany for €10.7 million, including €2.5 million paid in escrow for the completion of the second phase of the building that is under construction, adding 3,174 sqm to our German portfolio. This acquisition has been accounted for as an acquisition of assets, with the acquisition cost (total of €10.7 million, including €0.8 million of capitalized transaction costs) being allocated to the individual identifiable assets and liabilities (if any) based on their relative fair values at the date of purchase.
As part of the transaction the Group assumed other net current liabilities for €0.1 million.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the European Union ("EU").
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in euros and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand, except where otherwise indicated.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for a complete set of International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024, which were prepared under full IFRS as adopted by the European Union requirements and The Companies Law (Guernsey), 2008.
The half-year figures are unaudited (reviewed), while the December 2024 figures have been audited.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, except for any standards that were adopted for the first time as from January 1, 2025.
The following new amendment to standards is mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning January 1, 2025, and has been endorsed by the European Union:
• Amendments to IAS 21 'The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability' (effective 1 January 2025).
IAS 21 previously did not cover how to determine exchange rates in case there is long-term lack of exchangeability and the spot rate to be applied by the company is not observable. The narrow scope amendments add specific requirements on:
The adoption of this amendment did not have an impact on the presentation of our condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
During the first six months of 2025, there were no changes in the Company's accounting policy choice which resulted in material change in information in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
The Company has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires us to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
The key estimates and assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
The fair value of investment property and investment property under construction is determined by external real estate valuation experts using recognized valuation techniques and the principles of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement.
Estimating the fair value of share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model, including the expected life of the share option, volatility, etc.
From time to time, the Group acquires entities that own real estate. At the time of acquisition, the Company considers whether such a transaction represents the acquisition of a business or the acquisition of an asset (a group of assets) and liability for IFRS purposes. The Company accounts for an acquisition as a business combination when the integrated set which includes the property contains processes that have the ability to create output (mainly in the form of rental income). Judgement is required to make this determination and the Group applies the guidance included in IFRS 3 (as amendment) to support its judgement. When the acquisition does not represent a business combination, it is accounted for as an acquisition of assets and liabilities. The cost of the acquisition is allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based upon their relative fair values, and no goodwill or deferred tax is recognized.
In preparing the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, we considered the possible impact of climate change (both physical and transition risks) on our financial statements, in connection with a potential impact on estimates and assumptions applied. For example:
Shurgard's ESG strategy and internal processes aim at considering and addressing the impact climate change might have on our financial statements. Currently, we have not identified any material impact that would require specific disclosure beyond what has been disclosed in our Sustainability Report 2024 or in Note 36 of the consolidated Financial Statements as commitments.
As an example, Shurgard targets the replacement of existing gas heating in all its heated stores, with heatpumps by 2029. In doing so, the Group will incur future capital expenditures. However, currently these are expected - for a not insignificant part - to be replacements of defective or outdated existing heating system and as such replace repair and maintenance or replacement cash outflows that would have been incurred anyway. The Group further intends to roll out comprehensive solar panel strategies by markets, which will result on the one hand in future capital investments, while on the other hand reducing utility costs. Once firm capital expenditure commitments have been identified, they will be included in the Contingencies and commitments note. .
The financial statements are prepared based on the going concern assumptions. This is based on a forecast of the Group's future cash flows. In doing so, the Group considered changes to the principal risks, as disclosed in the Annual Report 2024, considering information for at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period, that might have an impact on the Group's cash flows and in place covenants and existing committed borrowing facilities.
The assessment included a stress test, which assumed a plausible reduction in future cash flows and the fair value of investment properties, ("plausible Severe Downside scenario"). The outcome of the stress test showed that the Group is expected to continue to comply with all its loan covenants through the going concern period, it has sufficient liquidity to meet its day-to-day cash flows, and loans that mature during the going concern period can be repaid with existing committed finance facilities and cash at hand. The Group also performed a reverse stress test, which showed that property values could largely more decrease than considered in the stress test, before our covenants would approach the maximum short-term level that is within the Group's financial policy and well below the level permitted under debt covenants. Finally, the Directors took comfort in the fact that the Group has not granted any assets as security for any financing.
Based on the above, the Directors have not identified any material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern for the duration of the going concern period. Accordingly, the Directors believe it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.

1 The current portion of our interest borrowing loans and borrowings as of December 31, 2024 consisted of the series A of the notes we issued in June 2015 (maturity in June 2025) that had a carrying value of €130 million.
Set out below is a comparison of the carrying amounts and fair value of the Company's senior guaranteed notes and corporate bonds that have a fixed interest rate:
| (in € thousands) | June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Carrying value | 1,558,904 | 1,191.964 |
| Fair values | 1,509,596 | 1,167,937 |
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
As of December 31, 2024, the Group had borrowings of €290 million outstanding under a €450 million term loan facility it entered into in 2023 with a consortium of lenders, maturing on April 28, 2026 with an optional twoyear extension, at the option of the Company and subject to certain conditions. The facility bears interest at Euribor plus a margin of 100bps and a commitment fee on the undrawn amount of €160 million of 0.35%.
As of December 31, 2024, unamortized debt financing costs totaled €1.4 million, and the Group carried €1.3 million in other non-current assets for related fees, expecting to fully utilize the facility.
In the first half of 2025, the Group did not extend the maturity of the facility, neither did it make any additional drawdowns up to the April 28, 2025 expiry date of the utilization period of the facility.
On May 27, 2025, the Company repaid the €290 million borrowings with the proceeds of the bonds issuance of the same day. As of the repayment date, the unamortized debt financing cost totaled €1.0 million that the Group expensed as loss on early extinguishment of debt. During the first half of 2025, the Group expensed as commitment fee €1.5 million it had previously carried in other non-current assets for related fees, because it did not utilize in full the facility (Note 7).
The Company incurred €4.3 million interest expense on the term loan facility in the first half of 2025.
On May 27, 2025, the Company issued 10-year Corporate Bonds for €500 million, bearing fixed interest of 4.0% per annum, to fund the repayment of the term loan facility (€290 million) and series A of the 2015 notes (€130 million), with the remainder being dedicated to general corporate purposes.
The Company paid €3.5 million of placement and legal fees and other expenses that are amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method. As of June 30, 2025, the unamortized portion of these debt financing costs related to the 2025 issuance amounted to €3.5 million.
The Company incurred €1.9 million interest on the Corporate Bonds issued in the first half of 2025.
Our interest bearing loans and borrowings, including the 2025 Euro bond issued during the period, are subject to certain customary covenants, as disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report, with which we are in compliance for all periods presented.

1 Of the €20.7 million increase, €8.5 million is due to increased real estate tax accruals, €5.2 million increase in accounts payable, €4.8 million is due to increased construction accruals, €1.1 million to accrued repair maintenance expense. Variances for any other items are less material and form the difference.
Management has assessed the fair values of trade and other payables approximate their carrying amounts.
For all our share-based compensation plans, we incurred €2.3 million in share-based compensation expense, including social security charges, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, of which €0.5 million for our share option plans and €1.8 million for the RSU plan.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred €2.2 million in share-based compensation expense, including social security charges, of which €2.1 million for our share option plans and €0.1 million for the RSU plan.
Except for our UK customer goods coverage earnings, the income Shurgard earns for extending to its tenants the insurance coverage of the umbrella agreement with an external insurance company qualifies as revenue in the scope of IFRS 15.
As of January 1, 2024, the Company has implemented for its UK tenants SHURprotect, a program that changed the overall contractual arrangement related to the customer goods coverage program. Rather than the insurance intermediary providing insurance coverage to the customer, the UK tenants will via the SHURprotect program be compensated for damages to their goods directly by the Group's UK subsidiary. This scheme is accounted for under IFRS 17, having no significant impact on our overall business and results, and the Group's consolidated financial statements. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, Shurgard UK earned €4.8 million fee income and incurred claims charges of €0.2 million under the SHURprotect program. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Shurgard UK earned €3.1 million fee income and incurred claims charges of €0.3 million under the SHURprotect program.
Overall, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Group fee income earned from customer goods coverage, including UK, was €21.2 million and €17.5 million, respectively.
Simultaneously, Shurgard, through its captive reinsurance entity, entered into a reinsurance agreement with an external insurance company. This arrangement is in the scope of IFRS 17. Through this agreement, an external insurance company cedes to our captive certain insurance risk in lieu for a reinsurance premium of €1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 (€1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024). For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Group accounted for reinsurance service expense of €1.1 million (€1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024), consisting of claim charges of €1.0 million (€1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024), as well as fronting and handling fees of €0.1 million (€0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024).
Captive reinsurance revenue and captive insurance service expense are included in cost of insurance and merchandise sale and in other operating expenses in real estate operating expense.

In addition, the Company incurred in the first six months of 2025 €0.4 million expense for the provision of key management personnel services by non-executive board members that were provided by separate management entities (€0.4 million during the same period last year).
We pay Public Storage, one of our significant shareholders, a royalty fee equal to 1.0% of our revenues in exchange for the rights to use the "Shurgard" trade name and other services. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, we incurred royalty fees of €2.2 million and €1.9 million, respectively.
As of June 30, 2025, we had €49.2 million outstanding capital expenditure commitments under contract regarding certain self-storage facilities under construction.
Except for changes mentioned in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, if any, contingencies, commitments and guarantees are materially unchanged from those described in Note 36 of the 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements.
There have been no significant events after the reporting period.
We have reviewed Shurgard Self Storage Limited's condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the "interim financial statements") in the half-year report of Shurgard Self Storage Limited for the 6-month period ended 30 June 2025 (the "period").
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union.
The interim financial statements comprise:
The interim financial statements included in the half-year report have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union.
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, 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.
We have read the other information contained in the half-year report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the consolidated interim financial statements.
The half-year report, including the interim financial statements, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors and management are responsible for preparing the half-year report in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union.
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements in the half-year report based on our review. This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the company and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this conclusion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

APM are defined by the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") as a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows, other than a financial measure defined or specified by IFRS, as adopted by the EU.
The Group's most important APM, as also apparent from the segment reporting, relates to same stores and nonsame stores. Shurgard classifies as 'same stores' (i) all developed stores that have been in operation for at least three full years, and (ii) all acquired stores that we have owned for at least one full year, each measured as of January 1 of the relevant year. Any stores that are not classified as same stores for a given year are presented as "non-same stores", comprising (i) all developed stores that have been in operation for less than three full years ("new stores") and (ii) acquired stores that we have owned for less than one full year ("acquired stores"), each measured as of January 1 of the relevant year.
As a result, on a year-to-year basis, the size of our same store network changes based on the reclassification of stores from non-same stores to same stores following the time periods described in the prior paragraph. Under some circumstances, for purposes of these full-year metrics, this results in significant changes in financial and operational metrics presented on a segmental basis from year to year.
In line with common practice in self-storage and other industries (e.g., retail), same store information is a crucial factor to assess the performance of the organic business, while providing at the same time information on the expansion activities of the Group. For this reason, the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") reviews the performance of the Group based on this distinction (see note 9 of the 2025 HY report) and same store information represents part of the remuneration for Senior Management.

NOI measures the financial performance of our properties. It focuses on property operating revenue (generated through the lease of storage units and related activities, including fee income from customer goods coverage and the sale of storage products and packaging) less real estate operating expense. As such it is a key performance indicator of the performance of the Group's core operating activity.
The NOI margin is calculated as Income from property ("NOI") divided by Property operating revenue for the relevant period and measures the operational performance and efficiencies of our properties as it shows in percentage how much property operating revenue remains after deduction of the real estate operating expense. As with all ratios, it also allows easier comparison within our industry, as it eliminates the need for size or currency adjustments.
| Item | Operator | June 30, 2025 | June 30, 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Income from property (NOI) | 139,959 | 119,051 | |
| Property operating revenue | ÷ | 223,090 | 189,271 |
| NOI margin % | = | 62.7% | 62.9% |
This is a commonly reported KPI by real estate companies. We believe that this subtotal provides improved structure to the profit and loss information and enables investors to better analyze and compare our earnings with those of other companies.
Underlying EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, excluding (i) valuation gain from investment property and investment property under construction and gain on disposal, (ii) acquisition and dead deals costs (iii) cease-use lease expense and (iv) other non-recurring expenses.

1 The Company did not opt for the "optimised net property value" approach, as we do not have a history that would indicate that we can achieve lower taxes when buying and selling and as we have a buy and hold strategy, which would indicate limited relevance of the optimised EPRA NTA.
In the above EPRA NTA calculation, the fair value adjustment of our notes issued and deferred tax expense other than on the fair value adjustment of investment property are not considered.
The EPRA NDV scenario aims to represent the shareholder's value under an ordinary sale of business, where deferred tax, financial instruments and certain other adjustments are calculated to the full extent of their liability, net of any resulting tax.

In the above EPRA NDV calculation, all our cumulative deferred tax expense is not considered.
The EPRA LTV's aim is to assess the gearing of the shareholder equity within a real estate company. To achieve that result, the EPRA LTV provides adjustments to IFRS reporting which are described in more details in this document.
The main overarching concepts that are introduced by the EPRA LTV are:
No adjustment related to IFRS 16 is proposed for the purposes of calculating the EPRA LTV as, for most real estate entities, these balances typically gross up both sides of the LTV calculation and generally do not have a commercial impact on the leverage of the business.
