Announcement of NAV and Dividend
Schroder European Real Estate Investment Trust plc, the Company investing in
European growth cities and regions, provides a business update and announces its
unaudited net asset value ("NAV") as at 31 December 2025, together with its first
interim dividend for the year ending 30 September 2026:
• Prior period service charge adjustments of €2.5 million, or 1.9 euro cents per share
("cps") have resulted in an adjusted starting NAV as at 1 October 2025 of €154.2
million, or 117.3 cps
• Underlying adjusted quarterly earnings from operational activities ("EPRA
earnings") of €1.8 million before exceptional items for the quarter ended 31
December 2025 (quarter ended 30 September 2025: €1.9 million)
• A first interim dividend of 1.48 cps declared for the quarter, 90% covered by EPRA
earnings before exceptional items, reflecting an annualised dividend yield of c. 8.3%
based on the 16 March 2026 share price (c. 61.8 pence sterling)
• An IFRS profit of €1.0 million for the quarter ended 31 December 2025
• Unaudited NAV of €153.3 million, or 116.7 euro cents per share ("cps") as at 31
December 2025, reflecting a NAV total return of 0.8%
• The property portfolio was independently valued at €194.0 million (30 September
2025: €194.0 million)
• Portfolio vacancy increased to 7% (as at 16 March 2026) following the departure
of Shuurman Beheer B.V. at the Alkmaar industrial property and the tenant's
decision not to fulfil its lease obligations due to financial difficulties, as previously
announced on 5 March 2026
• Post-period end, income security has improved following newly completed lease
re-gears in Stuttgart (5% of portfolio rents), terms agreed in Rumilly (5% of portfolio
rents), and a new letting agreed in Paris (reducing asset vacancy from 11% to
below 10%)
• The income from the portfolio is considered to be a strong inflation hedge with
almost all leases subject to indexation
• Tax disclosure update: No material change since the previous announcement on 5
December 2025. The Group has appealed the French Tax Authority's €14.2 million
notice of adjustment (including interest and penalties) and is awaiting a response,
and continues to maintain that the amount is not payable. No provision has been
recognised, based on professional advice and the Board's assessment that an
outflow is not probable. Further updates will be provided as appropriate
