  • Net rental income in Q1 2026 amounted to €109 million, increasing by 2% compared to €106 million in Q1 2025.
  • Strong like-for-like rental growth continued at 3.5%, mainly from in-place rental growth. Vacancy remains low at 3.6%.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of €86 million in Q1 2026, higher by 1% from €85 million in Q1 2025, despite net disposals year over year.
  • FFO I of €46 million in Q1  2026, lower by 4% compared to  €48 million in Q1 2025, as  a result of higher finance expenses  offsetting
    adjusted EBITDA growth. Accordingly, FFO I per share amounted to €0.26 per share in Q1 2026, also lower by 4% compared to Q1 2025.
  • Profit for the period amounted to €42 million, with basic earnings per share of €0.17, GCP did not revalue its portfolio in Q1 2026.
  • Maintain strong liquidity position with €1.6 billion in cash and liquid assets as of March 2026, representing 36% of total debt.
  • Conservative financial profile maintained,  with a low  LTV ratio of 32%,  high coverage ratios  with an ICR ratio  of 4.8x, and  €6.4
    billion in unencumbered assets (71% of total portfolio value)
  • EPRA NTA amounted to €4.5 billion, or €25.7 per share, as of March 2026, slightly up compared to €25.6 in December 2025.
  • FY 2026 guidance confirmed.
  • Dividend for the year 2025 proposed at €0.30 per share, for financial year 2026 onward, dividend policy to be adjusted to 50% of FFO I
    per share.
  • After the  reporting period,  the Company  successfully issued  €600 million  perpetual notes,  with proceeds  used to  refinance  the
    perpetual notes with a first call date in 2026. Following  this transaction, GCP has fully refinanced its perpetual notes stack,  with
    the next reset events occurring only in 2031.

Luxembourg, May 12, 2026 – Grand City Properties S.A. (“GCP” or the “Company”) announces its results for Q1 2026, underpinned by continued
strong operational performance. GCP reported net rental income of  €109 million, a 2% increase year-on-year, driven by strong  operational
performance, reflected in solid like-for-like rental growth of 3.5%, which  more than offset the impact of net disposals. Adjusted  EBITDA
increased by 1% to €86 million, driven by higher net rental income, partially offset by slightly higher operating expenses. FFO I amounted
to €46 million, impacted by higher finance expenses, partially offset by higher adjusted EBITDA and a lower perpetual note attribution  in
the current period. FFO I per share  amounted to €0.26. The Company confirms  its FFO I guidance for full  year 2026 in the range of  €175
million to €185 million.

In 2026 YTD, GCP continued to execute on its disciplined capital recycling strategy. The Company completed disposals, comprising primarily
properties in non-core locations and condominiums, with a total volume of €13 million. These disposals were completed at a slight  premium
of 1%. After the reporting period, the Company closed €75 million of acquisitions in Germany which were signed during Q1 2026, and  closed
half of the acquisition of over €100 million  of new built properties in London, with  the remainder expected to be completed towards  the
end of Q3 2026. 

As of March 2026,  the Company’s liquidity  position stood at  €1.6 billion, representing  36% of total  debt. The Company’s  conservative
financial profile was further supported by a low LTV of 32%, slightly higher compared to December 2025 mainly as a result of the repayment
of ca. €40 million of perpetual  notes in the beginning of  2026, connected to the transaction  executed in December 2025. GCP’s  interest
coverage ratio  was 4.8x,  and the  Company maintained  €6.4 billion  in unencumbered  assets, representing  71% of  the total  portfolio,
positioning the Company well  to capitalise on potential  growth opportunities. The average  cost of debt was  2.1%, with an average  debt
maturity of 4.0 years.

After the reporting period, the Company issued €600 million perpetual notes bearing a coupon of 5.25%. The proceeds were used to refinance
the Company’s outstanding €602.7  million perpetual notes with  a first call date  in 2026. Following completion  of the transaction,  the
Company has refinanced its full perpetual notes stack and has no  further perpetual note reset dates until 2031. The issuance was  in-line
with guidance expectation, and thus the higher perpetual notes coupons resulting from the transaction going forward do not impact the  FFO
I guidance.

Based on  the strong  financial position  and stable  operating results  of the  Company, the  Board of  Directors of  GCP recommends  the
reinstatement of a dividend of  €0.30 per share for the  year 2025. In addition, the  dividend policy has been adjusted  to 50% of FFO  I,
providing an attractive dividend yield for shareholders, while maintaining healthy headroom to fund growth opportunities.

Refael Zamir, CEO of  Grand City Properties:  “We are pleased  to announce our  results for Q1  2026, which reflects  the strength of  our
operating platform and the resilience of  our portfolio. Through disciplined capital allocation  and prudent balance sheet management,  we
have strengthened our financial position, enabling us to recommend the reinstatement of a dividend while maintaining flexibility to pursue
value-accretive growth opportunities.”
