I-RES H1 2025 Results

Irish Residential Properties REIT plc

 

RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 30 JUNE 2025

Strong Performance Delivering Earnings Growth & Shareholder Value

Key Highlights

Irish Residential Properties REIT  plc (“I-RES” or  the “Company”), the  leading provider of  rental homes in  Ireland, today issues  its
interim results for the six-month period from 1 January 2025 to 30 June 2025.

  • Earnings growth of 2.4% for the period with adjusted EPRA earnings of €14.5 million and 2.9% growth in adjusted EPRA EPS to 2.8 cent,
    notwithstanding the sale of approximately 2% of units in the portfolio in the last 12 months.
  • Adjusted Earnings (excluding fair value movements) growth  of 9.5% to €16.0 million in  H1 2025 (H1 2024: €14.6 million),  reflecting
    the ongoing success of the asset recycling programme in generating sales premia significantly ahead of book values.
  • Net Rental Income (“NRI”) margin increase  of 150 bps period on period,  with a H1 2025 margin of  78.0% (H1 2024: 76.5%) due to  our
    intense focus on operating efficiency and successful implementation of cost management initiatives.
  • Successful debt refinancing in the period ensures  financial position remains robust, with the  new facilities in place for a  5-year
    term expiring in March 2030 with the option of two one-year extensions.
  • Return of surplus capital to shareholders by way of an accretive share buyback of €5 million completed in the period.
  • Government announcement of the proposed new rental regulation during the period has improved the outlook for the business.

Eddie Byrne, I-RES’ Chief Executive Officer, said:

“The first  six months  of  the year  have seen  a  step change  in our  operational  and financial  performance leading  to  significant
improvements in margins  and earnings.  We have made  real progress  on our strategic  initiatives including  leveraging our  operational
capabilities to deliver 150 bps margin improvement. We have executed on our asset disposals programme achieving in excess of 25%  premium
to book value whilst maintaining a focus on delivering shareholder value through our capital allocation framework. We are well positioned
to capitalise on the improving regulatory and market backdrop and we are excited to build on the progress we have made.”

Financial and Operational Highlights

  • Achieved strong earnings growth of 2.4% for the period with adjusted EPRA earnings of €14.5 million (H1 2024: €14.2 million) and 2.9%
    growth in adjusted EPRA EPS to 2.8 cent (H1 2024: 2.7c). This growth in earnings was achieved despite the sale of approximately 2% of
    units in the portfolio, through our asset disposal programme and the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (“HICP”) being below 2%  for
    most of the past 12 months inhibiting our ability to capture rental  growth. As a result of the disposals and low HICP rate,  revenue
    decreased by 0.4% period on period to €42.6 million. Average monthly rent (“AMR”) increased by 1.5% to €1,823 since 30 June 2024  and
    by 0.5% since 31 December 2024.
  • EPRA Earnings of €14.5m grew by 23.2% vs prior period of €11.8m due to the elimination of non-recurring costs in 2025.
  • Adjusted Earnings (excluding fair value movements) growth  of 9.5% to €16.0 million in  H1 2025 (H1 2024: €14.6 million),  reflecting
    the ongoing success of our ongoing asset recycling programme in generating sales premia significantly ahead of book values.
  • The portfolio continues to  be effectively fully occupied  at 99.5% (30 June  2024: 99.6%) which reflects  both our highly  effective
    operating platform and the continued strong underlying demand for high quality rental properties in Dublin.
  • Achieved a significant NRI margin increase of 150 bps period on period, with a H1 2025 margin of 78.0% (H1 2024: 76.5%). NRI for  the
    period of €33.3 million increased  by 1.6% versus the same  period last year. This strong  performance reflects the intense focus  on
    costs and successful implementation of cost management and recovery initiatives over the last year building on the momentum  achieved
    in H2 2024. We will continue to focus on driving efficiencies in order to sustain the increases achieved.
  • Successful refinancing of Revolving Credit  Facility (“RCF”) in the  period ensures financial position  remains robust, with the  new
    facilities in place for 5 years with two one-year extension options. Following this refinancing the current weighted average cost  of
    interest across the  Group’s facilities for  the period is  approximately 3.73%, broadly  in line with  the Group’s weighted  average
    financing costs in 2024.

 

  • The Company completed the disposal of 16 units in H1 2025 as  part of the previously announced target of 315 units across a 3-5  year
    period, achieving sales premiums  in excess of  c. 25% above book  value. As at  30 June 2025, the  Company had 16  units in a  sales
    process which we  expect to complete  in the coming  months. This  takes the total  number of  units  disposed of to  date under  the
    programme to 57 marking continued good progress against the 315 overall target. Disposals completed during the period generated total
    gross proceeds of  €6.6 million  and a €1.5  million gain  versus book value.  Since 30  June, we have  completed the  disposal of  4
    additional units and signed contracts on a further 2 units. The Company remains on track to deliver the disposal of 50 units in  2025
    and given the strong sales premia achieved in H1, we now expect average sales premium achieved on these sales in 2025 to be ahead  of
    the previous expectation of 15% to 20%. 

Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation

  • As at 30 June 2025, I-RES’ portfolio had a total value of €1,230 million (31 December 2024: €1,232 million) including assets held for
    sale. This represents a 0.2% reduction compared to 31 December 2024. Factors contributing to the movement in value include the impact
    of the disposal of 16 units as part  of our ongoing asset recycling programme. Yields  remained broadly flat in the period with  EPRA
    Net Initial Yield at 5.2% at 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024:  5.1%). We have seen a continuation of yield stability in H1 with  prime
    residential yields remaining at  4.75%. We continue to  reinvest in our portfolio  of assets, to ensure  we maintain our  exceptional
    levels of occupancy and tenant demand, whilst future proofing our assets.
  • Net LTV at 30 June  2025 stood at 45.0%, up  from 44.4% at 31 December  2024. Our leverage level remains  well below the 50%  maximum
    allowed by the Irish REIT regime and the Group’s debt financial leverage ratio covenant. The slight increase can be attributed to the
    successful completion of the share buyback programme and the upfront transaction costs associated with the refinancing offset by  the
    proceeds of unit sales.
  • Recognising the discount between the Company’s share price and its  Net Asset Value per share and utilising excess capital  generated
    through premia achieved  on disposals, the  Company executed a  share buyback  of €5 million  in the period,  with approximately  5.1
    million shares purchased at an average price per share of 97.3 cents.
  • Proceeds from the ongoing asset recycling programme are expected to be deployed towards continuing to actively manage LTV within  the
    target range of 40%  to 45%. Thereafter we  will prioritise excess  capital towards enhancing shareholder  value through our  capital
    allocation framework.
  • The Board intends to declare a dividend of 2.36 cents per share for the six months ended 30 June 2025, in line with the  requirements
    of Irish REIT legislation and representing the Company’s dividend policy of paying out 85% of EPRA earnings. This represents a  25.5%
    increase on the H1 2024 dividend of 1.88 cents per share. 

Outlook

  • The Company will continue to focus on executing on its strategic objectives to maximise shareholder value whilst also growing revenue
    and managing costs, with a strong focus on optimising the  operational performance of the business. Backed by a highly efficient  and
    scalable internalised platform, set against the backdrop of  positive regulatory change and improving market conditions, the  Company
    is exceptionally well positioned to take advantage of tailwinds to drive earnings growth and enhanced shareholder value.
  • The Company remains committed to a disciplined capital allocation strategy, prioritising robust balance sheet management,  delivering
    consistent shareholder returns through its ordinary dividend, whilst pursuing long-term value creation by re-investing sales proceeds
    in strategically located  assets that enhance  shareholder value or  continuing to return  capital to shareholders  should the  large
    discount to NAV persist.
  • The Company welcomes the Government’s ambition to increase the supply of housing, in particular much needed new rental  accommodation
    in Ireland. The Company believes that the proposed suite of new rent regulations announced by Government on the 10th of June 2025  is
    a positive step  in addressing the  issues of viability  that are  facing new apartment  developments. These changes  along with  the
    subsequent announcement of changes  to building regulations will  help address these  issues of viability which  have made yields  in
    Ireland an outlier relative  to EU peers.  Although the proposed  new rules will  not take effect  until the 1st  of March 2026,  the
    Company believes the proposed changes which allow units  to be relet at the market rate  on tenant turnover will be positive for  the
    business, enhancing returns on the existing portfolio by enabling it to capture the significant reversion embedded in the  portfolio.
    Under the new rules each unit in the portfolio, with a lease commencement after 1st March 2026, that has a turnover will be  eligible
    to be relet at  market rent. I-RES  rents are currently estimated  by independent valuers  to be 19% below  market. The Company  will
    review the draft Bill carefully  upon its publication as legislation  is not yet drafted regarding  the proposed amendments and  will
    need to go through the legislative process to be enacted.
  • Long term structural  drivers, such  as strong economic  growth, favourable  demographics and exceptional  demand for  accommodation,
    continue to support a sustained growth  outlook for the Irish rental market.  These developments, underpinned by positive  regulatory
    changes designed to balance the attraction  of institutional capital with the protection  of renters, are expected to position  I-RES
    favourably to deliver on its strategic objectives, drive growth, and create shareholder value.

Business Review

Internalised Operating Platform Drives Strong Operational Performance

The Company delivered  a strong  financial and  operational performance  in H1  2025, making  progress against  strategic objectives  and
delivering incremental improvements  across numerous key  performance indicators. Our  high-quality portfolio of  modern and  sustainable
properties remained effectively fully occupied at 30 June 2025 at 99.5%, reflecting the consistent efficiency of our property  management
operations, the mid-market positioning of  our assets, and the continued  strength of demand in the  Irish Private Rental Sector  (“PRS”)
market.

Organic rental increases  in Ireland under  the current rental  regulations are limited  to the lower  of 2% or  the Harmonised Index  of
Consumer Prices (“HICP). These renewal increases were impacted by the low rate of prevailing HICP inflation in H2 2024, continuing in  H1
2025. As a result of this combined with asset disposals completed as part of our ongoing asset recycling plan, reported revenue  declined
by 0.4% in the  period to €42.6 million.  During the period 6%  of the portfolio units  turned over, a slight  drop from 2024 (c.7%)  and
reflects the significant supply and demand imbalance in the market, the lack of options available for our residents in the market and the
fact that a number of units where leases ended were not turned over as they were disposed of as part of the asset disposal programme.

Net Rental Income (“NRI”) increased by 1.6% in  the period. NRI margin in H1 2025 was  78.0% (H1 2024: 76.5%), with this increasing  from
76.8% for the full year 2024, despite  the continued disposals as part of the  asset recycling plan. As highlighted by sequential  margin
improvements, we are making  strong progress implementing  additional income generating  and cost management  initiatives to improve  the
profitability of our real estate  portfolio, such as an intense  focus on cash collections, savings  achieved from management of  Owner’s
Management Companies (“OMCs”)  and associated costs,  contract negotiations and  certain cost recoveries  on new leases.  We continue  to
review operations for  cost efficiencies and  revenue opportunities. Whilst  the NRI  margin was aided  by certain one-off  items in  H1,
primarily OMC credits from prior year charges, we have continued to progress other cost saving measures which we expect to see in H2  and
into 2026.

Adjusted G&A expenses include costs such as employees’ salaries, director fees, professional fees for audit, legal and advisory services,
depository fees, property  valuation fees,  insurance costs and  other general  and administrative expenses,  and excludes  non-recurring
costs. Despite inflationary pressures in some of these cost items, we have managed to achieve a moderate decrease of 2.1% in G&A expenses
to €5.9m (€6.0m H1 2024) through focused cost control.

In March 2025 the Company successfully refinanced its existing Revolving  Credit Facility (“RCF”). The new facilities comprise an RCF  of
€500 million and an Accordion Facility of €200 million which adds an additional element of flexibility to the Company's debt  facilities.
The facilities have a five-year  term expiring in March  2030 with the option  of two one-year extensions.  The facilities are priced  at
Euribor plus a margin of 2.05%. Hedging instruments in the amount of €275 million have been put in place for five years, maintaining  the
Company’s overall level of fixed rate debt at c. 85%  of drawn facilities. Following this refinancing, the current weighted average  cost
of interest across the Group’s facilities is 3.73% in H1 2025, broadly in line with the Group’s weighted average financing costs in  2024
of 3.79%. As a result, the financing costs in H1 2025 remained  broadly in line with H1 2024 at €12.2 million despite costs incurred  for
the acceleration of the deferred loan costs associated with the refinancing of the RCF at c.€0.6 million.

The Company delivered growth of 23.2% in EPRA earnings at €14.5 million and 23.8% in EPRA EPS in the period driven by the elimination  of
non-recurring costs in 2025 and the increase in NRI margin. On an adjusted basis EPRA Earnings grew by 2.4% and adjusted EPRA EPS grew by
2.9% driven by ancillary revenue initiatives and rigorous cost management programmes.

In H1 2025, the Company has completed the  disposal of 16 units in total as part  of the overall disposal target of 315 units,  achieving
sales premiums in excess  of 25% and gross proceeds of €6.6 million. This takes the total number of units disposed under the programme to
57. As a result of these disposals Adjusted Earnings (excluding fair value movements) increased 9.5% from €14.6 million to €16.0 million.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company continues to  actively dispose of  the identified units and  given the strong  sales premia achieved in  H1, expect that  the
disposal premiums will be in excess of the previously guided average sales premium of between 15% and 20%. At 30 June 2025, 16 units  are
in a sales process which we expect to complete in the coming months.

I-RES recognises its investment  properties at fair value  at each reporting period,  with any unrealised gain  or loss on  remeasurement
recognised in the  profit or  loss account.  In the  period, the fair  value gain  recorded on  investment properties  was €0.3  million,
reflecting the stabilisation of yields across the  wider Irish residential market and positive  organic growth. We are encouraged by  the
continued yield stabilisation witnessed in the market for the last twelve  months after two years of expansion. Our Gross Yield was  7.1%
at period end,  well in excess  of our  weighted average cost  of interest of  3.73%. As  outlined previously, the  Irish Government  has
announced a proposed suite of  new rental regulations, which  include the ability to reset  the rent of a  particular unit when a  tenant
vacates and a new  lease is put in  place. The proposed regulations  are set to  take effect on 1st  of March 2026. As  a result, if  the
proposed changes are enacted and there is a subsequent increase in the income profile of our properties, we expect there to be a positive
impact on  valuations, assuming  no  market yields  movement. Legislation  enacting  the proposed  changes is  still  to go  through  the
legislative process and therefore valuations for this period are not impacted by the proposed change in regulations.

Our average monthly rent increased to €1,823 from €1,796 at  30 June 2024 representing an increase of 1.5% reflecting selective  disposal
of underperforming and lower quality assets and organic growth. Despite this our portfolio is currently estimated to be 19% below  market
rent. Occupancy of 99.5%  (H1 2024: 99.6%) reflects  an effective full occupancy  rate which is supported  by our mid-market  residential
sector positioning and continues to highlight the supply/demand imbalance in the market.

Balance Sheet 

Our total investment  property value  at 30 June  2025 was  €1,230.2 million (including  assets held  for sale). This  represents a  0.2%
reduction compared to 31 December 2024 driven by the impact of the disposal of 16 units as part of our ongoing asset recycling programme.
Yields and valuations remained broadly flat in the period  with EPRA Net Initial Yield at 5.2% as  at 30 June 2025, slightly up as at  31
December 2024 at 5.1%. We continue to reinvest in our portfolio of assets, to ensure we maintain our exceptional levels of occupancy  and
tenant demand, whilst future proofing our assets.

I-RES seeks to use leverage to enhance shareholder returns over the  long term. I-RES takes a proactive approach to its debt strategy  to
ensure the Group  has laddering  of debt maturities  and the  Group’s leverage ratio  and interest  coverage ratios are  maintained at  a
sustainable level. Our debt facilities are made up of our recently  refinanced €500 million RCF and c. €200 million (Euro Equivalent)  of
Private Placement Notes.

The successful refinancing of the RCF in the period, has extended the facilities for 5 years to 2030 with two one-year extension options,
strengthening the company’s capital structure. The company has no debt  maturities before 2027, and laddering is out to 2032  thereafter.
Net LTV at 30  June 2025 stood at  45.0%, up from  44.4% at 31 December  2024. The increase  in LTV can be  attributed to the  successful
completion of the Share buyback  programme and the arrangement fee  and associated costs of our  refinancing. Our leverage level  remains
well below the 50% maximum allowed by the Irish REIT regime and the Group’s debt financial leverage ratio covenant.

The Private Placement Notes were issued  in March 2020 and are made  up of €130 million and $75  million notes. On closing I-RES  entered
into a cross-currency interest rate swap resulting  in an overall weighted average fixed interest  rate of 1.92% inclusive of swap  costs
and excluding transaction costs  for the full principal  of the notes.  The maturity of the  notes is laddered over  circa six, nine  and
eleven years, with the first repayment due in March 2027.

Drawn debt facilities  are predominantly hedged  against interest rate  volatility, with 85%  of the debt  fully fixed. The  Group has  a
weighted average drawn debt maturity of 4.6 years and no debt maturities before 2027. The weighted average cost of interest is 3.73%  for
H1 2025 (31 December 2024: 3.79%). The remaining undrawn committed facilities are c. €138 million.

The IFRS NAV per share is 126.9c, up from 126.2c at 31 December 2024 aided by the impact of the share buyback programme.

entered into cross currency swaps to fix this at €68.8 million. 

(2) Includes commitment fee charged on the undrawn portion of the RCF facility.

 

In line with our capital allocation strategy and recognising the discount  between the Company’s share price and its Net Asset Value  per
share the Company utilised excess capital generated through premia achieved on disposals to execute a share buyback of €5 million in  the
period, with approx. 5.1 million shares purchased at an average price per share of 97.3 cents.

The Board will continue to monitor the capital allocation strategy  for the Group, taking into account the prevailing market  environment
and the appropriate use of the Company’s funds to best deliver on the long-term objective of maximising value for shareholders. 

 

 

 

 

 

Capital Allocation

The Board remains  committed to  maximising value  for shareholders  and addressing  the discount  between the  Company’s current  market
capitalisation and Net Asset Value.

In line with this objective, proceeds from the ongoing asset recycling programme are expected to be deployed towards:

  • Continuing to actively manage LTV within the Board’s target range of between 40% and 45%, and subsequently;

       ◦ Enhancing returns through re-investing in our own portfolio and strategically located/attractive assets and/or
       ◦ An efficient return of capital to shareholders where it is considered the best use of capital.

Proceeds realised from the  disposal programme have  enabled the Company  to successfully maintain  Net LTV within  the target range  and
execute a Share buyback programme during the period.

The Board will continue to monitor the capital allocation strategy  for the Group, taking into account the prevailing market  environment
and the appropriate use of funds to best deliver on the long-term objective of maximising value for shareholders. In light of the current
market environment and taking account of the current steep discount between the Company’s share price and its Net Asset Value per  share,
the Board believes it is appropriate to continue to focus on the above value accretive allocation strategies.

Dividend

In line with Irish REIT legislation,  the Board intends to declare a  dividend of 2.36 cents per share  for the six months ended 30  June
2025, in line  with the  requirements of Irish  REIT legislation  and representing the  company’s dividend  policy of paying  out 85%  of
property income from the property rental business. This represents a 25.5% increase on prior period dividend of 1.88 cents per share.

Public Policy

The Company welcomes the Government’s ambition to increase the supply of housing, in particular new rental accommodation, in Ireland. The
Company believes that the suite of proposed new rent regulations announced by  Government on the 10th of June 2025 is a positive step  in
addressing the  issues of  viability that  are  facing new  apartment developments.  These  proposed changes  along with  the  subsequent
announcement of changes to building regulations will help address these issues of viability which have made yields in Ireland an  outlier
relative to EU peers. The Company believes  these proposed changes in rent and  building regulations will provide enhanced conditions  to
unlock residential development, allowing activity to regather some momentum which will contribute positively to the increase of essential
new housing supply in Ireland. The Company welcomes these positive  changes, and we will continue to engage with Government and  advocate
for further positive change.

Although the proposed  new rules will  not take effect  until the 1st  of March 2026,  subsequent to proceeding  through the  legislative
process, the Company believes the changes which allow units to be relet at the market rate on turnover will be positive for the  company,
enhancing returns on the  existing portfolio by enabling  it to capture the  significant reversion embedded in  the portfolio. Under  the
proposed new rules each unit in the portfolio, with a lease commencement after 1st March 2026, that has a turnover will be eligible to be
relet at market  rent. According  to independent  valuers the  I-RES portfolio  is currently  19% under  current market  rent. On  leases
commenced after 1st March 2026 the company will  be able to capture this reversion on turnover  or every six years where a turnover  does
not take place.

Governance

As announced by the Company in June 2025, Vision Capital Corporation (“Vision”) notified the Company that its ownership had dropped below
3%. As at 1 July 2025, Vision’s shareholding had reduced to nil. As  a result of Vision no longer holding 3% or more of the issued  share
capital, and in accordance with her letter of appointment, Amy Freedman has tendered her resignation as a director of the Company.  Given
the important contribution that Ms. Freedman is  making to the Board and to ensure  an orderly transition, Ms. Freedman will continue  to
serve as a director until the AGM in May 2026, at which point her resignation will become effective. Richard Nesbitt remains a  Director.
His appointment is not affected by Vision’s shareholding in the Company.

The Nomination Committee continue to review Board composition.  Given the Board’s wish to reduce the  size of the Board, it is not  their
intention to replace Ms. Freedman at the 2026 AGM.

 

 

 

Outlook

Looking ahead, the  Company expects to  continue to deliver  efficiencies from its  market leading internally  managed platform,  driving
margin improvements and earnings growth. The Company will continue to execute strategic initiatives to maximise shareholder value with  a
focus on crystalising value through the sale of individual units at a premium to book and initiatives which boost NRI through  increasing
revenues and reducing costs. With a highly efficient and scalable internalised platform, set against the backdrop of positive  regulatory
change and improving market conditions,  the company is exceptionally  well positioned to take advantage  of tailwinds to drive  earnings
growth and enhanced shareholder value.

The Government announcement  of the proposed  new rental regulation  during the  period has improved  the outlook and  the future  income
profile of the business. The Company believes this change will be positive for the business, but also for the market as improved  returns
will lead to increased investment and improved liquidity in residential assets, potentially allowing for much needed new stock to also be
delivered.

The Company will  maintain a disciplined  approach to  capital allocation, focusing  on balance sheet  management, delivering  attractive
returns to shareholders through the ongoing ordinary dividend, and long-term value creation through capitalising on opportunities in  the
market to invest in strategically located assets which enhance  shareholder value or continuing to return capital to shareholders  should
the large discount to NAV persist.

I-RES is well positioned to drive growth and shareholder value and approach the remainder of 2025 with confidence.

Sustainability

 

Further Progress on our Sustainability Journey

I-RES continues to make progress on  our Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”)  ambitions through environmental action and  social
impact. We released our latest ESG report in the first half of 2025, highlighting the significant progress we have made against our three
core strategic pillars: Operating Responsibly, Protecting the Environment, and Building Communities. We are continuing that progress into
2025. 

1. Operating Responsibly

Disclosure

Building on recent improvements achieved in our GRESB  and CDP ratings we have now also improved  our MSCI rating from BBB to A, our  S&P
Global Corporate Sustainability Rating has increased to 42 from 34 and our ISS-Corporate Rating has improved from 7 to 6 for Environment.

We are closely monitoring  developments regarding proposed  changes to CSRD reporting  requirements as we  continue our preparations  for
reporting in respect of 2025.

Risk Management

We assessed our sustainability impacts, risks, and opportunities through a Double Materiality assessment in late 2024. These findings are
guiding physical and transitional climate  risk assessments, as well  as resilience and scenario  analyses within the climate  transition
planning ongoing in 2025.

Responsible Sourcing

In 2024, our suppliers completed an ESG questionnaire and attended a sustainability education forum to evaluate their alignment with  our
ESG strategy. Based on these results and feedback, we continue to measure scope 3 supply chain emissions and identify emission  reduction
opportunities.

2. Protecting the Environment

We are prioritising Building Energy Rating improvements and efficiency projects as we develop our Climate Transition Plan to achieve  Net
Zero carbon by 2050. As part  of this, in 2025 we are  updating our carbon footprint assessment and  having it third party assured.   The
output will guide data-driven targets.

We are participating in the CRU’s (Commission  for the Regulation of Utilities) smart  meter programme to enhance energy data  collection
and have installed additional water meters with Uisce Éireann to support better data capture and efficiency planning.

Biodiversity initiatives across our portfolio  continue to aid pollination  and wildlife. We have maintained  zero waste to landfill  for
directly managed assets, and our waste management programme is improving with new resources for residents.

3. Building Communities

Residents

We are committed  to delivering  exceptional customer  service and providing  safe, secure,  comfortable, and  high-quality homes,  while
fostering vibrant communities for our residents. Our annual Resident Survey continues to yield valuable feedback; our Net Promoter  Score
remains strong compared to industry benchmarks, particularly among younger and newer residents. Resident satisfaction is highest in areas
such as maintenance,  landscaping, exterior  upkeep, and  waste management.  Interest in community  events has  grown, with  one in  four
residents attending an  I-RES event  in 2024. Over  30 engagement  events were hosted  across our  portfolio in 2024,  and we  anticipate
maintaining this level of outreach in 2025.

Employees

Demonstrating our ongoing commitment to employee well-being and experience  at I-RES, we introduced several enhancements to our  employee
benefits and support offerings  in 2024 including the  launch of a new  Learning & Development framework,  improved leave allowances  and
enhanced pension benefits.  These improvements are  designed to  address both personal  and professional needs,  acknowledging the  daily
contributions of our team members and supporting their ongoing and future well-being.

Community

As a provider of residential homes and services, our team is deeply connected to local communities. Our resident engagement programme  of
events is inclusive of neighbouring  social housing blocks and  neighbouring refugees displaced from war  torn countries. We continue  to
partner with educational NGO’s, support local sports teams and our employees are very involved in charity events for those in need across
Dublin. I-RES’ employees spent a combined 650+ hours engaging in community activities in 2024 and we are on track to maintain this  level
of engagement in 2025.

Market Landscape

Macroeconomic Landscape

The first half of  2025 has been characterised  by shifting geoeconomic  relationships causing heightened uncertainty.  As a small,  open
economy with significant trading and  investment relationships with the US  and EU, Ireland is not  exempt from the challenges caused  by
these changing geoeconomic relationships  and priorities. Policy  uncertainty, in particular  related to significant  shifts in US  trade
policy, has directly shaped headline economic activity  in Ireland so far in 2025, with  uncertainty spiking in April driven by US  trade
policy announcements. Whilst any tariffs levied by the US on the  EU would not directly impact I-RES, the Central Bank of Ireland  expect
domestic economic growth to slow slightly amid high uncertainty and global trade tensions 2  1 . However, the Irish unemployment rate  is
also expected to remain  exceptionally low in  2025 at 4.3% 3  2   and we expect  demand for residential  rental accommodation to  remain
exceptionally strong due to the significant shortfall in supply versus demand. Furthermore, the Irish economy continues to perform better
than most EU  peers2. Domestic  economic activity  remained broadly  steady in the  first quarter  of 2025.  Economic activity  (Modified
Domestic Demand) expanded by 1% in Q1 2025 compared to the same  quarter in 20241. According to the EU Commission Ireland is expected  to
outperform its EU peers in terms of GDP growth with expected growth of 3.4% for 20252.

Irish Housing Market Remains Critically Undersupplied Despite Government Efforts

The Irish housing market continues to experience several long-term tailwinds that are expected to sustain demand and price pressures over
the medium-term.  The supply  of housing  remains significantly  below  levels required  to meet  current and  future demand.  Last  year
Government approved new national housing targets up to the year 2030. 303,000  homes will aim to be delivered in the period from 2025  to
2030, equating to an annual average of 50,500 homes, building up to 60,000 in 2030. In 2024 housing targets were missed, with completions
dropping by almost 7 per cent compared to 2023, largely due to a fall off in apartment completions of 24.1% 4  3 .

Housing completions  are forecast  to increase  to 32,500,  37,500 and  41,500 in  2025, 2026  and 2027,  respectively, still  far  below
Government targets and  even further from  independent estimates of  output required. Davy  estimate that there  is currently demand  for
93,000 new units a year with pent-up  demand for c.230,000 homes, or more than  10% of the housing stock. Capital financing  requirements
are also very large and could top €40bn by 2031 5  4 .

To address this chronic supply and demand imbalance, the Government announced significant proposed changes to the Irish residential  rent
control system on 10 June 2025. These changes are intended to increase the supply of rental accommodation and attract crucial investment.
The new changes are proposed to take effect from 1 March 2026.  The Government has announced a raft of changes to the current  regulatory
framework. Legislation will be required to implement these changes and is expected in the coming months.

  • The rents for new  build apartments will  not be subject to  the current 2%  cap but will be  linked to inflation  and capped by  the
    Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). This applies to new apartment developments commenced on or after 10 June 2025. 
  • No changes will be implemented for tenancies created before 1 March 2026.
  • Landlords of tenancies created  on or after 1  March 2026 will  be able to reset  the rent levels to  market rent between  tenancies.
    During the tenancy increases are subject to the lower of 2% or CPI.
  • Landlords of tenancies created on  or after 1 March  2026 will be able  to reset the rent  levels to market rent  at the end of  each
    6-year tenancy period unless a “no-fault” eviction occurs.
  • There will be a new distinction between “large” and “small” landlords. Large landlords are those who have four or more tenancies  and
    small landlords are those with three or fewer tenancies. Different termination rules will apply to large and small landlords.

The Company welcomes these changes. Although it will take time for the changes to translate into new supply, in the long run this will be
positive for the  rental sector and  its ability to  increase housing output.  When PRS yields  increased globally, the  severity of  the
previous rent regulations in Ireland caused yields to increase by far more than in other European markets. Prime net PRS yields in Dublin
have increased by 115 bps from 3.6% to 4.75% over the last few years. The prime net yield in Dublin of 4.75% is now one of the highest in
Europe. The recent proposed changes in rent  regulations should reduce the spread in Dublin’s  prime net PRS yield versus other  European
markets 6  5 . Any potential  tightening in yields  due to new  rent regulations will  have a positive  impact on development  viability,
helping stimulate new supply and unlock challenged developments. 

 

Strong demand dynamics are reflected in Greater Dublin Area (GDA) house prices, which have continued to experience upward pressure during
2024. The median house  asking price in  Dublin reached €495,000  in Q2 2025,  reflecting a year-on-year  increase of 5.1% 7  6 .  Rental
prices have also seen a significant rise, with the average rent  in Dublin increasing by 5.2% year-on-year driven by new supply into  the
open market  8  7 . The outlook for  both house prices and rents  in the GDA indicates continued  growth, with limited new housing  stock
projected to keep prices elevated through 2025, compounded by ongoing challenges in affordability and housing supply.

Regulatory Change and Improving Market Conditions Bring Positive Outlook For Investment

Ireland's residential investment market experienced a sluggish start to  2025, with just €10 million deployed across two transactions  in
Q1 9  8 . While market volumes remain  subdued as they have  been since 2023, there  are indications of some  momentum with a few  larger
deals filtering through in  Q2 2025, in  particular a transaction  for 393 apartments was  agreed which is  valued at approximately  €177
million at Spencer Place8.

Following interest rate increases that began in 2022, investment in the PRS Sector has been muted compared to long term trends, evidenced
by total investment  only reaching €481  million in 2024,  56% below the  ten-year annual average8.  This fall off  in investment can  be
largely attributed to investors  pausing larger deals in  response to rising interest  rates but also largely  due to uncertainty  around
rental regulations. The ECB has successfully navigated the inflationary period that began in 2022, prompting the Bank to implement  eight
interest rate reductions  between June 2024  and June 2025.  With improving market  conditions and newly  proposed rental regulation  the
outlook for living investment in Ireland is optimistic8.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Principal risks and uncertainties

 

The 2024 Annual Report for Irish Residential Properties REIT plc, approved on 3 April 2025, outlined the Group’s principal risks and
uncertainties. These risks have been revisited mid-year to assess their relevance and highlight any material changes

The directors have outlined below the continuing principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining 6 months of the financial year.
These should be read alongside the Group’s Risk Report in the Annual Report to understand the risk management and internal control
systems, as well as the directors’ processes for identifying and measuring these risks.

No new risks or uncertainties have been added or removed since 3 April 2025. However, the risk trend for two headings has been revisited.

As shown in the table above  there have been no changes to  the residual risk assessments, but for  two risks the trend has changed  from
year end.

Regulatory and Legislative impacts

On 10 June 2025, the  Irish Government announced planned  major reforms to the  rental sector to boost  investment in rental housing  and
provide market  certainty  while  extending renter  protections.  These  announcements  have clarified  policy  direction,  but  detailed
legislation is to follow.

The regulatory position is now  clearer, reducing the risk of  change and creating positive impacts,  such as initiatives to reset  rents
upon a tenant's  voluntary departure. While  the proposed changes  have been positive,  they may not  stimulate new builds  on their  own
without addressing other  elements, particularly  viability. Until  there is  full clarity,  there is  still implementation  risk as  the
proposed changes are  finalised. However, to  reflect the positive  developments that have  happened the trend  has been reclassified  to
stable.

Cost of Capital, Interest Rate Increase and Loan to Value Ratio

There is an overall improvement in debt and equity availability  and cost. Despite geopolitical issues, the cost of capital continues  to
trend downward, albeit at a  slower pace than in  2024. Uncertainty in US  trade policy has made  Europe, including Ireland, a  preferred
location for mobile capital, presenting both opportunities and challenges.  With the successful completion of our refinancing program  in
early 2025, our weighted average maturity of debt is 4.6 years with no near-term refinancing, providing I-RES with a stable balance sheet
to support its operations. While there is some incremental improvement in capital markets, the level of positive improvement reflected in
the year end decreasing trend rating has slowed. In light of that, the outlook is now considered stable.

Independent Review Report to Irish Residential Properties REIT plc (“the Entity”)

 

Conclusion

We have been engaged by the Entity to review the Entity’s condensed set of consolidated financial statements in the half-yearly financial
report for the six months ended 30 June 2025 which comprises the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position,
Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of
Changes in Equity, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Cash Flows, a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory notes.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of consolidated financial
statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2025 is not prepared, in all material respects in
accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as adopted by the EU and the Transparency
(Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007 (“Transparency Directive”), and the Central Bank (Investment Market Conduct) Rules 2019
(“Transparency Rules of the Central Bank of Ireland).

 

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (Ireland) 2410 Review of Interim Financial
Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (“ISRE (Ireland) 2410”) issued for use in Ireland. A review of interim
financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying
analytical and other review procedures.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (Ireland) and
consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an
audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Conclusions relating to going concern

Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis for conclusion
section of this report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the directors have inappropriately adopted the
going concern basis of accounting, or that the directors have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that have not
been appropriately disclosed.

This conclusion is based  on the review procedures performed in accordance with ISRE (Ireland) 2410. However, future events or conditions
may cause the Entity to cease to continue as a going concern, and the above conclusions are not a guarantee that the Entity will continue
in operation.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements  of the Group cover the  six month period 1 January  2025 to 30 June 2025.  These
statements are unaudited but reviewed by our auditor KPMG Ireland.

The accounting policies are consistent with those of the  previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except  for
those detailed below.

New and amended standards adopted by the Group

The below amended standard became applicable for the current  reporting period. However, the adoption of the amended accounting  standard

‘2.   Material Accounting Policies (continued)

 a.  Basis of preparation (continued)

Going concern

The Group meets its day-to-day  working capital requirements through its  cash and deposit balances. The  Group’s plans indicate that  it
should have adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future. The Group’s occupancy rate remained strong at 99.5%. The
Group also has  a strong  statement of financial  position with  sufficient liquidity  and flexibility in  place. The  Group has  undrawn
facilities of €138.3 million as at 30 June 2025. The Group generated positive cashflows from operations for the six months ended 30  June
2025. Accordingly, the Directors of the Company  consider it appropriate that the Group adopts  the going concern basis of accounting  in
the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 b. Basis of consolidation

These condensed consolidated financial statements  incorporate the financial statements of  I-RES and its subsidiaries, IRES  Residential
Properties Limited, IRES Fund Management Limited, IRES Residential Properties (Tara View) Limited and IRES Residential Properties (Orion)
Limited. I-RES controls these subsidiaries by  virtue of its 100% shareholding in  the companies. All intragroup assets and  liabilities,
equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. 

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by I-RES. I-RES  controls an entity when it is exposed  to, or has rights to, variable returns  from
its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect these returns through its power over the entity. The financial  information
of subsidiaries (except owners’  management companies) is included  in the condensed consolidated  interim financial statements from  the
date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. I-RES does not consolidate owners’ management companies in  which
it holds majority voting rights. For further details, please refer to note 19.

 

 3. Critical Accounting Estimates, Assumptions and Judgements

The preparation of  the condensed  consolidated interim  financial statements  in accordance  with IFRS  requires the  use of  estimates,
assumptions and judgements that in some cases  relate to matters that are inherently uncertain  and which affect the amounts reported  in
the consolidated financial statements  and accompanying notes. Areas  of such estimation  include, but are not  limited to, valuation  of
investment properties and valuation of  financial instruments. Changes to  estimates and assumptions may  affect the reported amounts  of
assets and  liabilities and  the disclosure  of contingent  assets and  liabilities at  the date  of the  condensed consolidated  interim
financial statements, as well as the reported  amounts of revenue and expenses during  the reporting period. Actual results could  differ
from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

The valuation estimate of  investment properties is  deemed to be significant.  See note 16(a)  and note 5 for  a detailed discussion  of
valuation methods and the significant assumptions and estimates used.

 5. Investment Properties

Valuation basis

Investment properties are carried  at fair value,  which is the amount  at which the  individual properties could be  sold in an  orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date, considering the highest and best use of the asset, with any gain or loss
arising from a  change in  fair value  recognised through  profit or  loss in  the consolidated  statement of  profit or  loss and  other
comprehensive income for the year.

The Group uses Savills and CBRE as  external independent valuers. The Group’s investment property  is rotated between these valuers on  a
periodic basis. The  valuers fair  valued all of  the Group’s  investment properties as  at 30  June 2025. The  valuers employ  qualified
valuation professionals who have recent experience in the location and category of the respective properties. Valuations are prepared  on
a bi-annual basis at the interim reporting date and the annual reporting date.

The information provided to  the valuers and  the assumptions, valuation  methodologies and models  used by the  valuers are reviewed  by
management. The valuers meet with the Audit Committee and discuss directly the valuation results as at 30 June and 31 December each year.
The Board determines the Group’s valuation policies and procedures  for property valuations. The Board decides which independent  valuers
to appoint for the external valuation  of the Group’s properties. Selection  criteria include market knowledge, reputation,  independence
and whether professional standards are maintained.

Investment property producing income

For investment property, the income  approach/yield methodology involves applying market-derived  yields to current and projected  future
income streams. These yields and future income streams are derived from comparable property transactions and are considered to be the key
inputs in the  valuation. Other  factors that are  taken into  account include the  tenure of  the lease, tenancy  details and  planning,
building and environmental factors that might affect the property. The  Irish Government has proposed a suite of new rental  regulations,
which include the ability to reset the rent of a particular unit when a tenant vacates and a new lease is put in place. The proposed  new
regulations are set to take effect on 1st of March 2026. Legislation enacting the proposed changes is still to go through the legislative
process and therefore  valuations for this period are not impacted by the proposed change in regulations.

Assets held for sale

At 30 June 2025, I-RES has identified 16 units across 4 properties  as assets held for sale amounting to €4.8 million (31 December  2024:
13 units across 5 properties amounting to €4.0 million). Management has committed to a plan to sell these properties, which are available
for immediate sale and we expect the disposals to close in the next twelve months.

 

‘5.   Investment Properties (continued)

Development land

In the case of development land, the approach applied is the comparable sales approach, which considers recent sales activity for similar
land parcels in the same or similar markets. Land values are estimated  using either a per acre or per buildable square foot basis  based
on highest and best use. Such values  are applied to the Group’s properties after  adjusting for factors specific to the site,  including
its location, zoning, servicing and configuration.

Information about fair value measurements using unobservable inputs (Level 3)

At 30 June 2025,  the Group considers that  all of its investment  properties fall within Level  3 fair value as  defined by IFRS 13.  As
outlined in IFRS 13, a Level 3 fair value recognises that the significant inputs and considerations made in determining the fair value of
property investments cannot be derived from publicly  available data, as the valuation methodology in  respect of a property also has  to
rely on  a number  of unobservable  inputs including  technical reports,  legal data,  building costs,  rental analysis  (including  rent
moratorium), professional opinion  on profile,  lot size,  layout and presentation  of accommodation.  In addition,  the valuers  utilise
proprietary databases maintained in respect of properties similar to the assets being valued.

The Group tests the reasonableness of all significant unobservable inputs, including yields and stabilised net rental income (“Stabilised
NRI”) used in the  valuation and reviews  the results with  the independent valuers  for all independent  valuations. The Stabilised  NRI
represents cash flows from property revenue less property operating expenses, adjusted for market-based assumptions such as market rents,
short term and long term vacancy rates, bad debts, management fees and repairs and maintenance. These cashflows are estimates for current
and projected future income streams.

Sensitivity analysis

Stabilised NRI and “Equivalent Yields” are key inputs in the valuation model used.

Equivalent Yield is the rate of return on a property investment  based on current and projected future income streams that such  property
investment will generate. This is derived by the external valuers and is used to set the term and reversionary yields.

For example, completed properties are valued mainly using a term and reversion model. For the existing rental contract or term, estimated
Stabilised NRI is based on the expected rents from residents over the period to the next lease break option or expiry. After this period,
the reversion, estimated  Stabilised NRI is  based on  expectations from current  market conditions.  Thus, a decrease  in the  estimated
Stabilised NRI will decrease the fair value and an increase in the estimated Stabilised NRI will increase the fair value.

The Equivalent Yields magnify the  effect of a change in  Stabilised NRI, with a  lower yield resulting in a  greater effect on the  fair
value of investment properties than a higher Equivalent Yield.

For investment properties producing income  (excluding assets held for sale),  an increase of 1% in  the Equivalent Yield would have  the
impact of a €178 million reduction in fair value while a decrease of 1% in the Equivalent Yield would result in a fair value increase  of
€251 million. An increase between 1% - 4% in Stabilised NRI would result in a fair value increase ranging from €12 million to €49 million
respectively in fair value,  while a decrease between  1% - 4% in  Stabilised NRI would have  an impact of a  reduction ranging from  €12
million to €49  million, respectively. I-RES  believes that this  range of change  in Stabilised NRI  is a reasonable  estimate based  on
potential changes in net rental income.

 

 

 

‘5.   Investment Properties (continued)

Sensitivity analysis (continued)

The direct operating expenses recognised in the condensed consolidated interim statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income
for the Group is €9.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (30 June 2024: €10.1 million), arising from investment property  that
generated rental income during the period. The direct operating expenses are comprised of the following significant categories:  property
taxes, utilities, repairs and maintenance, wages, insurance, service charges and IT costs.

The direct operating expenses recognised in the condensed consolidated interim statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income
arising from investment property  that did not generate  rental income for the  six months ended 30  June 2025 and 30  June 2024 was  not
material.

An investment property is comprised  of various components, including  undeveloped land and vacant  residential and commercial units;  no
direct operating costs were specifically allocated to the components noted above.

Facility of €500m maturing in  March 2030. This facility  is being provided by The  Governor and Company of  the Bank of Ireland,  Allied
Irish Banks P.L.C, ABN Amro Bank N.V and Barclays Bank Ireland P.L.C. The new RCF includes a €200 million uncommitted accordion facility.
The interest on the facility is based on a margin rate of  2.05% plus the one-month EURIBOR rate. I-RES has entered into €275 million  of
interest rate swaps as outlined in note 15 as associated with this new facility.

A commitment fee is charged on the undrawn loan amount of the RCF. The effective interest rate in the period for the RCF is 4.72%.

The financial covenants in relation to the RCF principally relate to Loan to Value and Interest Cover Ratio. I-RES has complied with  all
its debt financial covenants to which it was subject during the period. Gross Loan to Value has remained below the required 50% at 45.6%.
Interest Cover has remained above the requirement of 200% at 247%.

 

 9. Private Placement Notes

On 11 March 2020, I-RES  successfully issued €130 million of  notes and IRES Residential Properties  Limited, its subsidiary, issued  $75
million of notes on a private placement basis (collectively, the “Notes”). The Notes have a weighted average fixed interest rate of 1.92%
inclusive of a USD/Euro swap and an effective interest rate of 1.92%. Interest is paid semi-annually on 10 March and 10 September.

The Notes have been placed in four tranches:

                                                                                              30 June

 b. Restricted Stock Unit Awards

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) were first awarded  in the year ended 31 December 2020.  Under the remuneration policy, recipients of  RSUs
are granted a variable  number of equity  instruments depending on  their salary. The awards  are subject to  vesting against market  and
non-market based conditions. A summary of  the outstanding awards is set  out in the table below. All  awards are outstanding at 30  June
2025.

During the period, 685,402 awards granted did not vest and have therefore lapsed.

There is between a 24 month and 61 month holding period post vesting, but this is not subject to measurement as all conditions  terminate
on vesting. The LTIP awards are measured as follows:

Market-based condition: The expected performance of  I-RES shares over the vesting period  is calculated using a Monte Carlo  simulation.
Inputs are  share price  volatility for  I-RES and  the average  growth rate.  These inputs  are calculated  with reference  to  relevant
historical data and financial models. It should be  recognised that the assumption of an average  growth rate is not a prediction of  the
actual level of returns that will  be achieved. The volatility assumption  in the distribution gives a  measure of the range of  outcomes
that may occur on either side of this average value. This is used to amortise the fair value of an expected cost over the vesting period.
On vesting, any difference in amounts accrued versus actual is amended through reserves.  

Non-market-based conditions: The fair  value of the shares  to be issued is  determined using the grant  date market price. The  expected
number of shares is calculated based on the  expectations of the number of shares which may  vest at the vesting date and amortised  over
the vesting period. At  each reporting date,  the calculation of  the number of shares  is revised according  to current expectations  or
performance.

The awards are  subject to various  criteria as outlined  in the  table above The  TSR measure is  relative to constituents  of the  FTSE
EPRA/NAREIT Europe Developed Index for the 2022 awards. The 2023-2025 awards are relative to the residential subsector of this index  for
TSR. Results and inputs are summarised in the table below:

                                                                                                 2022 RSU

total share-based compensation expense relating to restricted  stock unit awards for the six months  ended 30 June 2025 was €210,000  (30
June 2024: €180,000).

11. Shareholders' Equity

All equity shares  outstanding are fully  paid and are  voting shares. Equity  shares represent a  shareholder’s proportionate  undivided
beneficial interest in I-RES. No equity share has  any preference or priority over another. No  shareholder has or is deemed to have  any
right of ownership in any of the  assets of I-RES. Each share confers  the right to cast one vote  at any meeting of shareholders and  to
participate pro rata in any distributions by I-RES and, in the event of termination of I-RES, in the net assets of I-RES remaining  after
satisfaction of all liabilities. Shares are issued in registered form  and are transferable. In the period, I-RES conducted a €5  million
share buyback which resulted in the recognition and immediate cancellation of €5 million treasury shares.

The number of shares authorised is as follows:

As at                          30 June 2025 31 December 2024
Authorised Share Capital      1,000,000,000    1,000,000,000

12. Revenue from Investment Properties

I-RES generates revenue primarily from the rental income from  investment properties. Rental income represents lease revenue earned  from
the conveyance of the right to use the property, including access to  common areas, to a lessee for an agreed period of time. The  rental
contract also contains an undertaking that common areas and amenities will be maintained to a certain standard. This right of use of  the
property and maintenance performance obligation is governed  by a single rental contract with  the tenant. I-RES has evaluated the  lease
and non-lease components of its  rental revenue and has  determined that common area maintenance  services constitute a single  non-lease
element, which is accounted for as one performance obligation under IFRS 15 and is recognised separately to Rental Income.

15. Realised and Unrealised Gains and Losses on Derivative Financial Instruments

Cross-currency swap

On 12 February 2020, I-RES entered into a cross-currency swap to (i) hedge the US-based loan of $75 million into €68.9 million  effective
11 March 2020 and (ii) convert the fixed interest rate on the USD-based loan to a fixed Euro interest rate, maturing on 10 March 2027 and
10 March 2030 (see note 9 for derivative fixed rates). This hedging agreement is accounted for as a cashflow hedge in accordance with the
requirements of IFRS 9.  Hedges are measured  for effectiveness at  each reporting date  with the effective  portion being recognised  in
equity in the hedging reserve and the ineffective portion being recognised through profit or loss.

For the period ended 30 June  2025, the ineffective portion that  has been recorded in the consolidated  statement of profit or loss  and
other comprehensive income was a loss of €17,000 (30 June 2024: €82,000). The fair value loss of the effective portion of €7,246,000  (30
June 2024 gain of €2,472,000) was  included in the cash flow hedge  reserve along with a loss on  hedging of €39,000 (30 June 2024:  gain
€106,000). The fair value of  the cash flow hedge was  an asset of €827,000 and  a liability of €5,887,000 at  30 June 2025 (31  December
2024: asset of €2,767,000 and a liability of €nil).

Interest rate swap

In March 2025, I-RES terminated its existing interest rate swap hedging  arrangements in respect of its RCF (see further details in  note
8) as the facility was terminated and replaced.  The interest rate swaps which had been  in place since December 2022 aggregated to  €275
million until maturity of the RCF facility in April 2026, converting the cost on this portion of the facility into a fixed interest  rate
of 2.5% plus margin of 1.75%. 

 I-RES entered into  a new  hedging arrangement  in respect  of the refinanced  RCF on  13 March  2025, specifically  interest rate  swap
agreements aggregating to €275 million until maturity of the facility in March 2030, converting the cost on this portion of the  facility
into a weighted fixed interest rate across all providers of 2.52% plus margin of 2.05%. See further details in note 8.

 

 

’15.  Realised and Unrealised Gains and Losses on Derivative Financial Instruments

(continued)

Interest rate swap (continued)

For the period ended 30 June  2025, the ineffective portion that  has been recorded in the consolidated  statement of profit or loss  and
other comprehensive income was €nil (30 June 2024: gain of €10,000). The fair value loss of the effective portion of €4,276,000 (30  June
2024: gain of €4,534,000)  has been recorded in  the consolidated statement of  profit or loss and  other comprehensive income. The  fair
value of the interest  rate swaps was an  asset of €178,000 and  a liability of €5,692,000  at 30 June 2025  (31 December 2024: asset  of
€3,000 and a liability of €1,557,000).

16. Financial Instruments, Investment Properties and Risk Management

      a.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investment Properties

The Group classifies and discloses the fair value for each class of financial instrument based on the fair value hierarchy in  accordance
with IFRS 13. The  fair value hierarchy distinguishes  between market value data  obtained from independent sources  and the Group’s  own
assumptions about market value. The hierarchy levels are defined below:

Level 1 - Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - Inputs  based on factors other  than quoted prices included  in Level 1 and  may include quoted prices  for similar assets  and
liabilities in active markets,  as well as  inputs that are observable  for the asset  or liability (other than  quoted prices), such  as
interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and

Level 3 - Inputs which are  unobservable for the asset or liability  and are typically based on the  Group’s own assumptions as there  is
little, if any, related market activity.

The Group’s assessment of the  significance of a particular input  to the fair value measurement  in its entirety requires judgement  and
considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The following table presents the Group’s estimates of fair value on a recurring basis based on information available as at 30 June  2025,
aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.

As at 30 June 2025,  the fair value of the  Group’s private placement debt  is estimated to be €179.3  million (31 December 2024:  €175.3
million) due to changes in interest rates since the private placement debt was issued and the impact of the passage of time on the  fixed
rate of the private placement debt.  The fair value of the  private placement debt is based on  discounted future cash flows using  rates
that reflect current rates for similar  financial instruments with similar duration, terms  and conditions, which are considered Level  2
inputs. The private placement debt is recorded at amortised cost of €192.4 million at 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: €201.0 million).

As at 30 June 2025,  the fair value of the  Group’s RCF is estimated to  be €365.2 million (31 December  2024: €356.9 million). The  fair
value is based on  the margin rate  and EURIBOR forward  curve at the reporting  date. The RCF  is recorded at  amortised cost of  €355.7
million at 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: €355.2 million).

(1) See note 5 for detailed information on the valuation methodologies and fair value reconciliation.

(2) The valuation of the interest rate swap instrument is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash
flow analysis on  the expected cash  flows of the  derivatives. The  fair value is  determined using the  market-standard methodology  of
netting the discounted  future fixed  cash payments  and the  discounted variable cash  receipts of  the derivatives.  The variable  cash
receipts are based on  an expectation of future  interest rates (forward curves)  derived from observable market  interest rates. If  the
total mark-to-market value is positive, I-RES will include a current value adjustment to reflect the credit risk of the counterparty  and
if the total mark-to-market value is  negative, I-RES will include a  current value adjustment to reflect  I-RES' own credit risk in  the
fair value measurement of the interest rate swap agreements.

(3) The cross-currency swaps are valued by constructing the cash flows of  each side and then discounting them back to the present  using
appropriate discount factors,  including consideration of  credit risk, in  those currencies. The  cash flows of  the more liquid  quoted
currency pair  will be  discounted using  standard discount  factors, while  the cash  flows of  the less  liquid currency  pair will  be
discounted using cross-currency basis-adjusted discount factors. Following discounting, the spot rate will be used to convert the present
value amount of the non-valuation currency into the valuation currency.

 b. Risk Management

The main risks arising from the Group’s  financial instruments are market risk, interest rate  risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.  The
Group’s approach to managing these risks is summarised as follows:

Market risk

Market risk is the  risk that the fair  value or cash flows  of a financial instrument  will fluctuate due to  changes in market  prices.
Market risk reflects interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risks.

The Group’s financial assets currently comprise short-term bank deposits, trade receivables, deposits on acquisition and derivatives.

Short-term bank deposits  are held  while awaiting  suitable opportunities for  investment. These  are denominated  in euros.  Therefore,
exposure to market risk in relation to these is limited to interest rate risk.

The Group also has  private placement notes  that are denominated  in USD. The Group’s  risk management strategy  is to mitigate  foreign
exchange variability to the extent that it is practicable and cost  effective to do so. The Group utilises cross currency swaps to  hedge
the foreign exchange risk associated with the Group’s existing, fixed foreign-currency denominated borrowings. The use of  cross-currency
interest rate  swaps is  consistent with  the  Group’s risk  management strategy  to  effectively eliminate  variability in  the  Group’s
functional currency equivalent cash  flows on a portion  of its borrowings due  to variability in the  USD-EUR exchange rate. The  hedges
protect the Group against adverse variability in foreign exchange rates and the effective portion is recognised in equity in the  hedging
reserve, with the ineffective portion being recognised through profit or loss within financing costs.

Derivatives designated  as hedges  against  foreign exchange  risks are  accounted  for as  cash flow  hedges.  Hedges are  measured  for
effectiveness at each accounting date and the accounting treatment of changes in fair value revised accordingly. Specifically, the  Group
is hedging (1) the foreign exchange risk on the USD interest payments and (2) the foreign exchange risk on the USD principal repayment of
the USD Borrowings at maturity. This hedging relationship qualifies for foreign currency cash flow hedge accounting.

On 12 February 2020, I-RES entered into cross-currency swaps to (i) exchange the USD loan of USD $75 million into €68.9 million effective
11 March 2020 and (ii) convert the fixed interest  rate on the USD loan to a fixed Euro  interest rate, maturing on 10 March 2027 and  10
March 2030.

At the inception of the hedging relationship the Company has identified the following potential sources of hedge ineffectiveness:

 1. Movements in the Company’s  and hedging counterparty’s  credit spread that  would result in  movements in fair  value of the  hedging
    instrument that would not be reflected in the movements in the value of the hedged transactions.

 2. The possibility of changes to the critical terms (e.g. reset dates, index mismatches, payment dates) of the hedged transaction due to
    a refinancing or debt renegotiation such that  they no longer match those of the  hedging instrument. The Company would reflect  such
    mismatch when modelling the hypothetical derivative and this could be a potential source of hedge ineffectiveness.

Whilst sources of  ineffectiveness do  exist in  the hedging  relationship, the  Company expects  changes in  value of  both the  hedging
instrument and the hedged  transaction to offset  and systematically move  in opposite directions  given that the  critical terms of  the
hedging instrument  and the  hedged  transactions are  closely  aligned at  inception  as described  above.  Therefore, the  Company  has
qualitatively concluded that there is an  economic relationship between the hedging instrument  and the hedged transaction in  accordance
with IFRS 9.

Master netting or similar agreements

The Group enters into derivative transactions under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master netting agreements.  In
general, under these agreements the amounts owed by each counterparty on  a single day in respect of all transactions outstanding in  the
same currency  are aggregated  into a  single net  amount that  is payable  by one  party to  the other.  In certain  circumstances,  all
outstanding transactions under the agreement are terminated, the termination value is assessed and only a single net amount is payable in
settlement of all transactions. The ISDA agreements do not meet the criteria for offsetting in the statement of financial position.  This
is because the Group does not have any currently legally enforceable  right to offset recognised amounts, because the right to offset  is
enforceable only on the occurrence of future events.

The following table sets out the carrying amounts of recognised financial instruments that are subject to the above agreements.

Managing interest rate benchmark reform and associated risks

The Group does not have any  exposures to IBORs on its financial  instruments due to IBOR reform as  fixed to fixed rates are used.  IBOR
reform does not impact the Group’s risk management and hedge accounting. The  Group has EURIBOR on its RCF, which is not impacted by  the
interest rate benchmark reform.

Interest Rate Risk

With regard to the cost of borrowing I-RES has used and  may continue to use, hedging where considered appropriate, to mitigate  interest
rate risk.

As at 30 June  2025, I-RES’ RCF was  drawn for €361.7 million.  The interest on the  RCF is paid at  a rate of 2.05%  per annum plus  the
one-month or three-month EURIBOR rate (at the option of I-RES) or at  a floor of zero if EURIBOR is negative. As previously noted, on  13
March 2025 I-RES terminated the existing interest rate swaps and entered  into new interest rate swaps in respect of the refinanced  RCF,
aggregating to €275 million until maturity of the new facility, converting the cost on this portion of the facility into a fixed interest
rate of 2.52% plus margin of 2.05%. As of the period end, approximately 85% of the Group’s total drawn debt is now fixed against interest
rate volatility. The Company’s private placement  debt has a fixed rate  of 1.92%. For the period ended  30 June 2025, a 100-basis  point
change in interest rates would have the following effect:

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk  is the  risk that  the Group  may  encounter difficulties  in accessing  capital markets  and refinancing  its  financial
obligations as they come due.

The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to  ensure, as far as possible, that it  will always have sufficient liquidity to meet  its
liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions,  without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the  Group’s
reputation. The Group monitors the level of expected cash inflows on trade and other receivables, together with expected cash outflows on
trade and other payables and capital commitments.

 

The following tables show the Group’s contractual undiscounted maturities for its financial liabilities:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the  risk that: (i) counterparties  to contractual financial obligations  will default; or (ii)  the possibility that  the
Group’s tenants may experience financial difficulty and be unable to meet their rental obligations.

The Group monitors its risk exposure regarding obligations  with counterparties through the regular assessment of counterparties’  credit
positions.

The Group mitigates the  risk of credit  loss with respect  to tenants by evaluating  the creditworthiness of  new tenants and  obtaining
security deposits wherever permitted by legislation.

The Group monitors its collection experience on a  monthly basis and ensures that a stringent  policy is adopted to provide for all  past
due amounts. All residential accounts  receivable balances exceeding 30 days  are written off to bad  debt expense and recognised in  the
consolidated statement of profit  or loss and  other comprehensive income. Subsequent  recoveries of amounts  previously written off  are
credited in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and  other comprehensive income. The Group’s allowance for expected credit  loss
amounted to a charge of €103,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and is recorded as part of property operating costs in the interim
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (30 June 2024: charge of €135,000).

Cash and cash equivalents are held with major Irish and European  institutions which have credit ratings between A-2 and A+. The  Company
deposits cash with a  number of individual  institutions to avoid  concentration of risk with  any one counterparty.  The Group has  also
engaged the services of a depository to ensure the security of cash assets.

Risk of counterparty default arising on derivative financial instruments is controlled by dealing with high-quality institutions and by a
policy limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one bank or institution. Derivative financial instrument counter parties have credit

Capital management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns  for
shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital  structure, I-RES may issue new shares or consider  the sale of assets to reduce debt.  I-RES,
through the Irish  REIT Regime, is  restricted in its  use of capital  to making investments  in real estate  property in Ireland.  I-RES
intends to continue to make distributions if its results of operations and cash flows permit in the future.

The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain  future
development of the business. At 30 June 2025,  capital consists of equity and debt and the  Group’s Net LTV was 45.0% (31 December  2024:
44.4%). I-RES seeks to use borrowings to enhance shareholder returns  over the long term. The level of borrowings is monitored  carefully
by the Board.

The Board monitors  the return on  capital as well  as the level  of dividends paid  to ordinary shareholders.  Subject to  distributable
reserves, it is the policy of I-RES to distribute at least 85% of the Property Income of its Property Rental Business for each accounting
period as required under the REIT legislation.

17. Dividends

Under the Irish REIT  Regime, subject to having  sufficient distributable reserves,  I-RES is required to  distribute to shareholders  at
least 85% of the Property Income of its Property Rental Business for each accounting period.

On 20 February 2025,  the Directors resolved to  pay an additional  dividend of €11.7 million  for the year ended  31 December 2024.  The
dividend of 2.20 cents per share was paid on 27 March 2025 to shareholders on record as at 28 February 2025.

On 8 August 2024,  the Directors resolved  to pay an  additional dividend of €10.0  million for the  six months ended  30 June 2024.  The
dividend of 1.88 cents per share was paid on 13 September 2024 to shareholders on record as at 23 August 2024.

On 23 February 2024,  the Directors resolved to  pay an additional  dividend of €10.6 million  for the year ended  31 December 2023.  The
dividend of 2.00 cents per share was paid on 28 March 2024 to shareholders on record as at 8 March 2024.

On 2 August 2023,  the Directors resolved  to pay an  additional dividend of €12.9  million for the  six months ended  30 June 2023.  The
dividend of 2.45 cents per share was paid on 1 September 2023 to shareholders on record as at 11 August 2023.

Distributable reserves in accordance with the Irish REIT Regime were calculated as follows:

19. Related Party Transactions

Transactions with Key Management Personnel

For the purposes  of the  disclosure requirements of  IAS 24,  the term ‘key  management personnel’  is defined as  those persons  having
authority for planning, directing and controlling the activities of  the Company. I-RES has determined that the key management  personnel
comprise the Board of Directors.

Owners’ management companies not consolidated

As a result of the acquisition by the Group of apartments  or commercial space in certain residential rental properties, the Group  holds
voting rights in  the relevant  Owners’ Management  Companies (“OMCs”)  associated with  those developments.  Where the  Group holds  the
majority of those voting rights, this entitles it, inter alia, to control the composition of such OMCs’ boards of directors. However,  as
each of those  OMCs is incorporated  as a company  limited by  guarantee for the  purpose of owning  the common areas  in residential  or
mixed-use developments, they are not intended to be traded for gains. I-RES does not consider these OMCs to be material for consolidation
as the total  assets of  the OMCs is  less than  1% of the  Group’s total  assets. I-RES has  considered the  latest available  financial
statements of these OMCs in making this assessment.

The total service fees billed in the period by the OMCs were €4.3 million, of which €0.1 million was payable and €3.8 million was prepaid
as at 30 June 2025. As at 31 December 2024, €0.1 million was payable and €1.0 million was prepaid by I-RES to the OMCs.

20. Contingencies

At Beacon South Quarter, in addition to the capital expenditure work that has already been completed, water ingress works were identified
in 2016 and I-RES is working with the Beacon South Quarter OMC to resolve these matters. A settlement has been reached in the ongoing
insurance claim with respect to the water ingress and related damage between the OMC and the insurer. The amount of potential costs
relating to these structural remediation works has been reflected in the valuation of the asset.

21. Commitments

As at 30 June 2025, there are no material commitments.

 

22. Earnings per Share

Earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing profit for the reporting period attributable to ordinary shareholders of I-RES by
the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the reporting period.

For the six months ended                                    30 June 2025 30 June 2024

EPRA Earnings represents the earnings from the  core operational activities of the Group. It  is intended to provide an indicator of  the
underlying performance of  the property portfolio  and therefore excludes  all components not  relevant to the  underlying and  recurring
performance of the  portfolio, including any  revaluation results and  results from  the sale of  properties. EPRA EPS  is calculated  by
dividing EPRA Earnings for the reporting period  attributable to shareholders of the Company  by the weighted average number of  ordinary
shares outstanding during the reporting period.

In October 2019, EPRA  introduced three EPRA  NAV metrics to  replace the then existing  EPRA NAV calculation  that was previously  being
presented. The three EPRA NAV metrics are  EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (“EPRA NRV’), EPRA  Net Tangible Asset (“EPRA NTA”) and EPRA  Net
Disposal Value (“EPRA NDV”). Each EPRA NAV metric serves a different  purpose. The EPRA NRV measure is calculated to highlight the  value
of net assets on a long term basis. EPRA NTA assumes  entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of deferred  tax
liability. No deferred  tax liability  is calculated  for I-RES as  it is  a REIT  and taxes are  paid at  the shareholder  level on  the
distributions. Any gains arising from the sale of a property are expected  either to be reinvested for growth or 85% of the net  proceeds
are distributed to the shareholders to maintain the REIT status. Lastly, EPRA NDV provides the reader with a scenario where deferred tax,
financial instruments and certain other adjustments are calculated to the full extent of their liabilities.

(1) Following changes to the Irish REIT  legislation introduced in October 2019,  if a REIT disposes of  an asset of its property  rental
business and does not (i) distribute the gross disposal proceeds to shareholders by way of dividend; (ii) reinvest them into other assets
of its property rental business  (whether by acquisition or capital  expenditure) within a three-year window  (being one year before  the
sale and two years after it); or (iii)  use them to repay debt specifically used to  acquire, enhance or develop the property sold,  then
the REIT will  be liable to  tax at a  rate of 25%  on 85% of  the gross disposal  proceeds, subject to  having sufficient  distributable
reserves. For the purposes  of EPRA NTA,  the Group has assumed  any such sales  proceeds are reinvested within  the required three  year
window.

(2) Deferred tax is assumed as per the IFRS statement of financial position. To the extent that an orderly sale of the Group’s assets was
undertaken over a period of several  years, during which time (i) the  Group remained a REIT; (ii) no  new assets were acquired or  sales
proceeds reinvested; (iii) any developments completed were  held for three years from completion; and  (iv) those assets were sold at  30
June 2025 valuations, the sales proceeds would need to be distributed  to shareholders by way of dividend within the required time  frame
or else a tax liability amounting to  up to 25% of distributable reserves plus  current unrealised revaluation gains could arise for  the
Group.

(3) This is the purchaser costs amount as provided in the valuation certificate. Purchasers’ costs consist of items such as stamp duty on
legal transfer and other purchase fees that may be incurred and which are deducted from the gross value in arriving at the fair value  of
investment for IFRS purposes. Purchasers’ costs are in general  estimated at 9.96% for commercial, 4.46% for residential apartment  units
and 17.46% for houses and duplexes.
