 Income driven valuation gains

 Strong balance sheet with only c. 5% of total debt expiring within next 3 years

  • Total cash balance of €124.3 million, of which €99.2 million of cash in is unrestricted, providing capacity for further acquisitions and investment (2022: €151.0 million total cash of which €127.3 million unrestricted)

  • €1.6 billion of unencumbered assets (2022: €1.6 billion)

Outlook

  • The new financial year has started well, driven by continued strong occupier demand in both markets and the Group continues to trade in line with market expectations
  • In Germany, stable occupancy rates and the easing of energy price pressures continue to offset wider macro-economic concerns
  • Sirius continues to assess further growth options in both Germany and the U.K. on an opportunistic basis, including recycling of mature assets and reinvesting in value-add opportunities
  • Organic growth opportunities remain strong, particularly with further investment into the portfolio as well as taking advantage of the high inflationary environment
