  • Positive property revaluation of +0.6% on a like-for-like basis, on 20% of the portfolio, driven by operational growth.

Luxembourg, May 14, 2025 – Grand City  Properties S.A. (“GCP” or the “Company”) announces  robust operational and financial results for  the
three-month period ending March 2025. The Company  delivered solid performance in Q1 2025, with  net rental income increasing by 1% to  €106
million, primarily driven by a strong like-for-like rental growth of 3.8%. This growth is driven by continued strong in-place rent  increase
on a like-for-like  basis, indicating sustained  positive operational  momentum. Rental growth  was partially  offset by the  impact of  net
disposals carried out between the  periods. Adjusted EBITDA rose  by 3% to €85 million,  compared to €82 million  in Q1 2024. The  increased
operational performance was supported by higher operational efficiency. FFO I increased by 6% to €48 million in Q1 2025, supported by higher
adjusted EBITDA and partially offset by slightly higher financing costs. FFO I per share amounted to €0.27, up from €0.26 in the  prior-year
period. The Company confirms its FFO I guidance for the full year 2025.

The Company improved  its conservative financial  structure with an  LTV of 32%,  compared to 33%  as of December  2024, a strong  liquidity
position of nearly €1.7 billion supported by disposals of €120 million and  repayment of vendor loans, an average cost of debt at 1.9%,  and
average debt maturity of 4.6 years.

In April 2025, Standard & Poor’s lowered  GCP’s credit rating by one notch  to BBB with a stable outlook.  The decision is in line with  the
rating action taken on Aroundtown, following S&P’s group rating methodology.  The credit rating on the Company’s senior bonds now stands  at
BBB, and BB+ for its perpetual notes. GCP’s stand-alone credit  profile (SACP) remains unchanged at bbb+. The Company continues to  maintain
significant headroom against all of its financial bond covenants.

GCP has decided not to recommend a dividend payment for 2024. The decision follows a period where the Company successfully navigated through
the market challenges by strengthening its  financial position and reducing leverage. The  Company will continue to maintain a  conservative
and prudent financial approach, keeping financial flexibility and headroom.

Refael Zamir, CEO of Grand City Properties: " We are pleased  to present strong results for the first quarter of 2025, reflecting  continued
robust operational performance driven by solid like-for-like rental growth.”
