27 August 2025.

Aroundtown (‘the Company’ or ‘AT’) announces results for the first six months of 2025. Net rental income amounted
to €591 million,  broadly stable compared  to €588 million  H1 2024. This  was driven by  a like-for-like  rental
growth of 3%, which  offset the impact of  net disposals. Adjusted EBITDA  stable year-over-year and amounted  to
€501 million, compared to €502 million in H1 2024, mainly impacted by operational growth offset by disposals. FFO
I reached €150 million, or €0.14 per share in H1 2025, decreasing slightly from €154 million, or €0.14 per  share
in H1 2024,  mainly due  to the impact  of higher  perpetual notes attribution,  which were  partially offset  by
operational growth and lower finance expenses. In H1  2025, the Company conducted a full external revaluation  of
the portfolio, recording a 1.4% like-for-like value increase driven by strong operational growth. The increase in
values further underscores the shift to  positive momentum. Net profit for  the period amounted to €578  million,
and earnings per share  for the period amount  to €0.32, driven by  positive property revaluations and  continued
strong operational results. EPRA NTA amounted to €8.6 billion as of June 2025, or €7.8 on a per share basis.

BALANCE SHEET  FURTHER STRENGTHENED  WITH LOWER  LEVERAGE AND  SUCCESSFUL €900  MILLION BOND  ISSUANCES AND  €1.9
BILLION DEBT REPAYMENT YTD EXTEND MATURITY PROFILE

The Company further  strengthened its balance  sheet in  the period, reducing  the LTV  to 40% as  of June  2025,
decreasing from 42% as of December 2024 and 45% as of June 2024. In H1 2025, the Company closed ca. €400  million
in disposals at around book value. In  the first half of 2025, ca.  €170 million was signed for disposal.  During
the second quarter of  the year, Aroundtown successfully  completed a €750 million  5-year senior unsecured  bond
issuance at  a 3.5%  coupon,  which was  three times  oversubscribed.  After the  reporting period,  the  Company
completed a tap  on the issued  bond amounting  to an additional  €150 million, after  receiving strong  investor
demand. The coupon on  the new bond is  significantly lower compared to  the 4.8% of the  issuance in July  2024,
reflecting the decrease in the marginal cost of  debt and underscoring the strong investor appetite. The  Company
additionally raised ca. €100 million from bank loans  during the period. Meanwhile, the Company repaid over  €1.9
billion in debt, utilizing its liquidity position and  disposal proceeds to effectively extend the debt  maturity
profile. Aroundtown continues to benefit from a significant pool of unencumbered assets, totaling €17 billion  or
70% of rent as of June 2025, increasing flexibility and access to secured financing. The ICR remained strong  and
reached 4.2x in H1 2025.

SHIFTING FOCUS TOWARDS OPPORTUNISTIC GROWTH WHILE CONTUING TO EXTRACT INTERAL GROWTH POTENTIAL

The Company has taken a proactive approach to the challenges presented to the industry in the past periods,  with
a focus on deleveraging through disposing non-core and mature properties at attractive prices, further  supported
by proactive management of the Company’s debt profile,  resulting in low leverage and significant headroom.  With
the improving  environment, Aroundtown  is  now well-positioned  to capture  both  internal and  external  growth
opportunities. AT  is  targeting  further internal  growth  through  repositioning efforts  with  hotels,  office
conversions & high-yielding  capex investments, while  its strong  liquidity position and  reduced leverage  give
headroom to pursue accretive external growth opportunities,  further supported by capital recycling. The  Company
will seek to balance growth with financial discipline as it sees opportunities arising from an asymmetric  market
recovery.

MANAGEMENT-UPDATE

After 17 fulfilling years serving as  the Company’s chief financial officer (CFO),  Mr. Ben David has decided  to
step down from his position.  Mr. Jonas Tintelnot, already serving  as Deputy CFO for the  last 3 years, will  be
appointed as the new CFO of the Company. The change  is part of an orderly leadership transition and will  become
effective until the end of the year 2025. To ensure a smooth transition, Mr. Ben David will remain as an  advisor
over the coming  periods. Mr.  Tintelnot, who has  a deep  knowledge of our  business, is  a Chartered  Financial
Analyst (CFA), holds an MSc in Trade and Finance and a BSc in Business Economics.

Earlier this  year, Mr.  Timothy Wright  was appointed  as  the Chief  Capital Markets  Officer of  the  Company,
complementing the Company’s management. Timothy Wright has gained long-standing experience in capital markets and
especially investor relations within the Group for more than a decade and holds an MBA with majors in finance and
accounting.

Mr. Ben David: “It has been a privilege to contribute to Aroundtown’s growth, resilience, and success over nearly
two decades, as the CFO. I am proud of what we have achieved together and deeply grateful for the trust placed in
me by the Board, our shareholders, and our dedicated teams across the Company.”

Mr. Frank Roseen,  Executive Director and  Barak Bar-Hen,  CEO: “We would  like to  thank Mr. Ben  David for  his
dedication to this Company. With the appointment of Mr. Tintelnot and Mr. Wright to our management,  Aroundtown’s
senior leadership  is well  positioned to  capture the  opportunities to  come while  retaining our  conservative
financial profile.”
