Below, we present a detailed analysis of key financial metrics, performance trends, and strategic developments.

Historical Performance Trends

IREIT Global experienced substantial declines in both revenue and net property income compared to FY2024, primarily due to increased vacancies at Berlin Campus and the absence of one-off income recognized in the prior year. The net change in fair value of investment properties surged, reflecting significant impairments, and income distributed to unitholders fell sharply.

Asset Revaluation

The portfolio’s valuation dropped from €857.33 million at end-2024 to €798.14 million at end-2025, a 6.9% decrease. This was mainly attributed to Berlin Campus’s repositioning and weak market conditions for Concor Park in Munich. The valuation of Berlin Campus is contingent on assumptions about future leases and refurbishment costs; any deviation from these could further impact asset values.

Exceptional Expenses and Fundraising

IREIT Global incurred higher finance costs, partly due to the issuance of S\$85 million green notes to fund the Berlin Campus project and increased borrowing margins.
Additional funding was raised via a €20 million capex facility (not yet drawn) and a €12.5 million term loan from CDL.
Finance costs on the green notes were capitalized and excluded from distributions to conserve cash for the repositioning project.

Dividends

Distribution Period	DPU (€ cents)	Previous DPU (€ cents)	YoY Change
2H2025	0.38	0.94	-59.6%
FY2025	1.09	1.90	-42.6%

Capital Management

Aggregate leverage increased from 37.6% to 44.6% due to new debt issuance and asset value decline.
97.5% of bank borrowings are hedged, mitigating interest rate risk, but weighted average interest rate rose to 2.8% from 1.9%.
Debt maturity is now extended to July 2029 for the German portfolio.

Portfolio and Asset Management Initiatives

Active asset management has led to several positive developments:

Secured a 10-year lease with a federal tenant at Darmstadt Campus, expected to raise occupancy from 41.3% to nearly 60%.
Lease extensions and new leases in Spain and France, with continued negotiations for further tenant signings.
BREEAM certification achieved for all French retail assets.

Berlin Campus Repositioning (Project RE:O)

Repositioning Berlin Campus into a mixed-use asset is underway, with construction progressing and substantial funding secured for the first phase. Ongoing discussions with major prospective tenants are expected to influence future asset values and rental income.

Macroeconomic and Market Environment

European real estate markets have shown cautious recovery, with office take-up and investment volumes rebounding in 2025. However, vacancy rates remain elevated, and rental growth is modest. The major markets (UK, Germany, France) have contributed half of the market transactions, reflecting stable but not robust conditions.

Performance Outlook

IREIT’s occupancy rate improved to 89.4% (excluding Berlin Campus), up from 88.5% a year ago.
Finance costs are expected to rise due to additional borrowings for ongoing development and refinancing exercises.
Management is actively exploring strategic and funding options to mitigate risks associated with Berlin Campus repositioning.

Conclusion & Investment Recommendations

Overall Assessment: The financial performance for FY2025 is weak, characterized by declining revenue, higher finance costs, and steep asset impairments. While management has actively pursued lease renewals and repositioning projects, these efforts have not yet offset the impact of the Berlin Campus vacancy and asset devaluation. The portfolio’s DPU has fallen significantly, and the REIT trades at a substantial discount to NAV, reflecting investor caution.

Recommendation for Current Holders:

Given the weak performance and ongoing risks (especially related to Berlin Campus), holders should closely monitor progress on asset repositioning and leasing. If you have a long-term horizon and believe in management’s ability to stabilize and improve performance, holding may be justified, but prepare for continued volatility.

Recommendation for Non-Holders:

Due to the weak financials, declining dividends, and significant risks surrounding asset values and finance costs, new investors should wait for clearer signs of recovery or successful tenant signings at Berlin Campus before considering entry. The substantial discount to NAV may offer value if management delivers on its repositioning strategy, but patience and caution are warranted.
